THE "Big Quarterly" kept up so
long by our colored friends, seems to
be gradually dying out. There were
not more than 1900 visitors present
yesterday, compared TO 5000 or Go0o in
years back even il the day was unfa-
Vorable. The colored people were
very orderly, but roamed around
without any definite object in view.

THE Democrats OF Delaware are
troubled over the appearance OF Morti-
mer Whitehead amongst the grangers
OF Delaware. A few years ago he went
through the State and predicted that
with protection better times would
come for the farmer. He was ridiculed
then by the Democratic press for his
advocacy OF the doctrine OF protection
but now when he comes back and con
graduates the farmers on the realiza
ton OF the benefits OF protection Demo
cratic gall has increased in bitterness
and Whitehead is denounced all arount
We hardly know whether our Demo
cratic friends ara not more raZzled oyel
the realization of protection than they
are over Mr.. Whitehead's appearance
Had protection proved a failure thu
Democrats would have simplyreferreC
to him as lying old crank, but nov
that protection has really shown itsel
to be blessing and MIR. Whitehead'
predictions have come true. they ar
simply cross and would say goo,
word for him under no consideration

AT one time the mother of the girl sus-
pected that something was amiss, but
Countess Larisch was ready with some
plausible tale. The facts of all this are
given in great detail in the mothers
pamphlet. AT last the girl fed to Mayor
ling, by Encouragement with the prince,
and few hours later her death was
known by the emperor, but not by The
mother, who in vain implored the chief
of police and Count Taafe, the Austrian
premier, to cause search to be insti-
tuted for her daughter. The truth of
the double suicide or murder and sui
eide is at last definitely established by
this publication. The news of the death
was broken to the mother by the en-
press of Austria herself.
The pamphlet shows that the princes
mind had long before been given to
thoughts of suicide, but that Marie did
her best to dissuade him from this fatal
step. 1t was NOS until hope for both of
them had fled that she resolved to share
his DEATH
For the first time is revealed the in
dignfties offered to her dead body. How
she was carried away in sitting pos.
ture between her two uncles, even a
coffin being denied her relatives when
moving her; how her mother was perse-
cuted and vilified, how everything was
done to lay the blame on the girl, forms
IL narrowing story as told by the
mother. The alleged falsehoods circulated
about her areexposed and the daughter
dying messages given.

A MOTHERS STORY.
The Tragic Death Of Grown Prince
Rudolf Recalled.
THE TREAoHERY OF A COUNTESS

The Young baroness Confided IN
the Countess, and the Latter Used
Her Knowledge for Matchmaking
purposcs-The Tale That Was Sup
pressed by Imperial Decree.
LONDON, Aug. 3i.--A double suicide,
or murder and suicide, occurred at
Mayerling, Austria, on Jan, 80, 1889,
that shocked the world and caused 0
great sensation. At that time the young
Baroness Marie de Vetzera was found
dead, along with her lover, the Grown
Prince Rudolph of Austria.
So many rumors were circulated at
the time concerning the young girl that
her mother, Baroness de Vitzera, re-
solved that the whole truth should be
known, and to this end edited story,
which was put into the form of a vol
ume, to indicate her daughter, and
fifty copies were printed. The emperor
learned of the intended publ alton, and
orders were issued which caused the
seizure of the volumes. The manuscript
was saved, and from it the story Is told.
A Mothers Narrative.
1t gives a consecutive narrative of the
affair in SO detailed a way that its ac-
curacy apparently cannot be called into
question. An important feature, accord
ing to the mother story, is the infamous
part played in the tragedy by no less a
parsonage that the niece of the empress
of Austria. The distinguished lady's
actions are given with the fullest of de-
tail, and the pamphlet accuses her of
being not only the intermediary but a
blackmailer as we'll. Baroness Marie's
last letters to her family are likewise
made public, and the story is told how a
| fortune teller was made to play mys-
| FERROUS part in the tragedy.
Briefly summarized, and as told il
the young girls letters, the story is that
Baroness Marie Vetzera, then II year,
| old, fell in love at first sight with thu
crown prince, and that she frequently
met him in the ordinary social way
| Finally she entrusted her secret II
| Countess La1isch, the empress of Aus
| trials niece, and this lady at once under
took to act as go between, while takin!
| advantage of her knowledge Of the stat
of affairs to levy blackmail from tn
