A Court Romance.

Young Count H, a Magyar nobleman
lost his heart to his sovereign many years ago,
says writer in Harper's on THE Empress Of
Austria" Tall and well made, and with an
exceedingly handsome face on his broad
shoulders, Count H was a young officer in
the Royal Hungarian Body Guard, He wor-
SHIPPED the empress with all the ecStacies of
first love, and he was ready to perpetrate
the maddest follies in order to win even the
talnteSt smile Of recognition But he never
had dared to breathe a word of his feelings to
her. One night, however, during a ball at the
castle of Shoenbrunn, while wandering by her
SIDE on the moOnlit terraces, he forgot all
else save his uncomfortable passion It is
true that the exquisite loneliness of the young
empress was sufficient to set on fire the brain
OF any man, as she stood there illumined by
the silvery rays of the harvest with
her NarciSSuS-like fairness, her great
large in her delicate face and her
ethereal form clOuded in silk-embroidered
dlamond-studded gauze, with huge emeralds
gltttering on her hair and bosom. The Young
omcer came nearer to her, and suddenly put
ting out his arms to clasp her to his heart,
murmured words Of passionate love. Before,
however, he could so much as touch her, she
stopped him with glance so chill and so con
temptuous that it seemed to freeze and to
magnetic him. He paused a second trem-
bling from head to foot, then throwidg himself
wildly at her feet, he buried his face in the
pertumed laces of her gown and sobbed out
his love. Far from arousing a sentiment of
pity in her heart the young mans despair,
his words, and his kneeling attitude seemed
to her intolerable insults. She did not stop to
consider the temptation that had been placed
in his way, but drawing aside with gesture
OF unutterable disdain she left him and dis
appeared into the palace. Two days later
Count H was eXiled to his great possess
sions in the far south of Hungary, and during
many long and weary years he kept there by
the orders of the kaiser, to whom Empress
Elizabeth had related the incident.

Several of them are quoted as saving that

Chioago's -Four Hundred.

The Princess Eulalie does not find
Chicago as satisfactory as she found New
York. At least that is what the Chicago
correspondents of some'of the New York
papers say. Their story is that she is i'm
mensely pleased with the fair, but is
worried by the city's incipient aristocracy.
People who want to have it appear that
they are persons of consequence bother
her with invitations to dinners. recep-
tions and other entertainments. She eX-
pected unaffected democracy and ran up
against lot of people who ape aristoc-
racy.
1t is not to be wondered at that she is
fatigued. She wants to see the fair and
don't care q nickel about the people who
live in fine houses. She wouldn't re-
member any of those who want 10 enter
tain her if she should accept their offers of
hospitality, and she knows that the chief
motive of these people is to gain little
notoriety for themselves by entertaining
her Why, then, should she tire herself
going to dinners, balls and receptions
She has as mnch Of social life as she cares
for in her own country She didn't come
here to assist people to improve their So
cial standing
She has announced that she viii accept
no invitations except those which are
official, and she threatens to cancel even
those of that character which she has
accepted
The infanta has only complimentary
things to say of the fair, however Its
vastness surprises her, and its wonderful
collections Of exhibits exceeds her oxpec-
tations, and she pleases the masses by her
democratic way of seeing the fair oven
though she does offend the would-bc
social leaders by refusing to accept their
invitations.

Student Dwight, of Yale, who was in
volved in alleged thefts from a, fellow stu
dent, was, it appears, more sinned against
than shining. 1t transpires that, so far
from forging his friends name on a draft,
Dwight Endorsed a note for him and had
it to pay. Having arrived at the facts in
the case the Yale faculty will permit
Dwight to graduate. But his graduation
was not the most serious question in
volved. Dwight was engaged to an

the notoriety thrust upon him by the col

gagement. And even Yale diploma

Mrs Frank Leslie's divorce from Willie
Wilde, it appears, is a rather one-sided
affair. The Judge says that Willie may
not marry again during the lady's life
time, unless Mrs. Leslie takes pity
on his loneliness and remarries him.
However, her choice is not lin
tied to Wilde; she may angle where she
pleases and land the biggest fish she can.
The decree further says that Wilde shall
not have any interest, absolute or contin-
gent, in any OF the property of the lady,
before or after her death He must exc
out an existence of single wrctchedness,
with little hope for the future, unless he
can persuade the lady to remove the ban
of the law by marrying him once more
and giving him another chance All
this, of course, is under the
American law. An examination
OF English law and presidents by WiIde's
lawyers makes him think it his right to
ignore the decree of the American court
altogethGr The English courts have
held that any American woman who
marries an Englshman becomes thereby
British subject and under the iurisdic-
ton of British courts. A case somewhat
similar to the Wilde suit was tried in a
Philadelphia court. The English hus-
banu ignored the decree against him and
brought suit in the British court. alleg-
ing the statutory grounds. The Ameri-
can ex-wife paid no attention to the Brit
ish suit and the court granted the hus-
band decree. All such unpleasant posi-
bilities, however, can be avoided by Mrs.
Leslie by taking Willie back again But
1t is hardly likely that she will do it.
She mas tried the matrimonial venture
four times and may conclude that she
has had enough

schemes to obtain Chinese concessions.
The story of Mitkiewiczs great Chinese

There seems to be some doubt as to
whether or not Fargo, n. D., will be re

guidance of a prohibition city council

come out of the far west. A few days

pages were artistically illustrated, and

4 Hawaiian Makes the Former

\ Chinese peddler tried to sell a
native man some peacock plumes
yesterday afternoon, and got the
worst OF his bargain. The Celestial
was a small, very small specimen
of his race, and the native was a
big man even for Hawaiian. The
latter told the peddler that he had
no use for peacock feathers, but
the peddler didn't see it that way.
He argued and talked till the ma
tive lost his patience, and picking
up the Chinaman by the slack of
his blouse, literally threw him over
the fence and into a mud puddle.
The most artistic Chinese oaths
that have been heard for some
time rippled out on the calm air,
but the look of serene contentment
on the Hawaiian's face was a thing
of beauty.
