Madame Elizabeth, Sister of Louis XVI.

Among the noblest victims OF the gutllo-
tine of the Reign of Terror was the sister of
Louis XVI, known as Madame Elizabeth,
a woman remarkable for her nobility Of
mind, deep piety, benevolence and love for
the poor. and sound political judgment.
The Princess Philippine Mary Helena
was born at Versailles, May g. 1764, young
est child of the Dsuphin, who died before
his father, Louis XIV. She was naturally
quick and irritable, but education and piety
had corrected this tendency, and she &C.
qulred gentle, winning way, without los.
ing the frmness which became 80 necessary
amid the sfhiction which overwhelmed her
family. Her tastes we're serious, history
and mathematics being favorite studies:
Her favor!te occupation was the works of
benevoleace. Brilliant and royal, she ives
amid frivolous court very angel of peace
and goodness. When an establishment was
provided for her, she requested that sum
Of twenty-five thousand francs, assigned for
her private expenses, should be given as q
dowry to young lady In whom she was
interested.
Ezsbeth's amiabe and nooe qualities
won her the respect and love of all who ap.
preached her. Several princes solicited her
hand among others the Ipfanta of Portugal,
the Duke of Aosts, and be Emperor Joseph
II. but etate reasons raised d obstacles, and
the princess hereelf eeemed to prefer her
maiden life. She remained to give an ex-
ample of sublime devotedness and courage.
During the rigorous winter of 1889 she ex-
hausted all her means in relieving those who
were perishing with cold and hunger. When
the revolution began her clear mind took In
at glance the certain result of the move
ment but che nobly resolved not to leave
her brother and his wife and children. She
was In the palace at Versailles when 1t was
attacked by mob. When she was brought
back to Paris she wrote: I'VE are lost; my
brother will not believe it, but lime will con-
vince him." Her piety and courage iu-
creased with the dagger. When the royal
famiIg resolved to leave Paris she sccompa.
MED them She stood beside Louis XVI.
when the mob invaded the Tuileries, June
20, 1892, and was mistaken for Marie An
toinette. A ssbre.bow was aimed at her
head, when an attendant rebuked the as
sassip.
"Wby did you undeoeive him p she said !;
"yon would have spared them greater
crime"
She followed the royal family to the Na-
tional Assembly, where Louis XVI was de-
olared deposed, and was confined with them
in the Temple There she forgot herself to
tighten the sorrow of the King and Queen.
and became second mother to the young
princes.
The Dsuphin was taken from her In july.

STARVATION IN IRELAND.
Timothy Healy Scores the Government
Action Toward the Needy.

DUBLIN, Aug. 26.-At a meeting of the
national league here today Timothy Healey
in referring to the potato blight, said
nothing stood between the people and
starvation during the coming
winter. The government was
represented as being more anxious
to provide employment through the build
ing of new railroads, but how could the
railway act recently passed, be held to
prove the governments intention to meet
the coming famine. Besotted stupidity
marked the whole conduct of the
executive. 1t might not be legal for the
tenants to Withhold their land rents during
period of distress; but the man who
should pay his rent and leave his family
to starve would be little better than an
assassin. Let the landlord support the
rent payers.

Soldiers, Attention!

The new pension bill under act of
June eth, 1890, has become law, Civ
ing from SO to Sl2 per month To every
soldier who has served ninety days and
who is disabled from any cause, no
matter whether he contracted his disa-
bilities in the service or not. Every
soldier who is now prosecuting a claim
for pension, or who is now drawing a
small pension less than So, can file un-
der the new law and is sure of getting
from So to S12 per month. Widows,
children and parents entitled. File
now as you only draw from date of fill
ing. Fees 80, payable only when your
claim is allowed Twenty-six years
practice in all the departments at
Washington.
War claims of every description pros
ecuted promptly, and successfully.
Comrades, beware of these mush-
room agencies that are springing up all
over the country Offering to do your
business for half or two-thirds of the
legal fees, as many of them are not adj
mitted TO practice before the depart
ments, and will only jeopardize your
claim.

Relating TO the new pension law,
comrades should bear in mind that it is
not a dependent law but a disability
law-there is no dependence about it.
If an honorably discharged soldier who
served at least 90 days is now disabled,
and the disability is not the result of
vicious habits, and it i'm any way inca
pacitates him for manual labor, he is
entitled to pension. If soldier has
a claim pending or is now receiving a
pension for slight wound or other dis
ability, he can make application under
the new law, naming all disabilities
and obtain a pension of not less than
six nor more than ~ dollars per month.
Comrades, write to me for information
or send me your application. Remem-

ence in the pension Office as a clerk at
the desk and as a special examiner, also
