A ROYAL GODMOTHER.
The Empress of Austria Christens a
Farmers Child.

The empress of Austria was the
other day making an excursion in
the neighborhood of Campiglio, where
she is at present staying, and called
at farm house, where all the inmates
were in feStal attire, but appeared in
rather melancholy turn of mind
Her Majesty perceived this, and asked
the reason and was told that a baby
born three days before was to be
chrlstened that day, but that the god
mother had not come, for which reason
the ceremony could not take place
The empress then declared that she
would take the place Of the godmother,
and when the poor people, who did
not know the empress, asked the
name they must give their little girl,
she replied: My name is not much
used in this country; it is better, then,
to give the child the most beautiful
name which Christendom knows-that
of Mary" 1t was only on the follow
ing day, when a servant brought a
handsome present in money and an
entire outfit for the babe, that they
knew that their little girl had for
gOdmother the empress of Austria.

IMPRESSED NAPOLEON DEEPLY
An American Citizen the Only Man to
Whom the French Emperor Bowed

In an old field near Lexington, Ga,
repOse the ashes of William II. Craw-
ford.
No monument of any kind points to
the passer-by the grave of this i'm
mortal Georgian, who came within an
ace Of being president, and who was
regarded by Napoleon, the great en-
peror, as the most NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ing man Of his days, says the Atlanta
Constitution.
This brings up an interesting story.
In his writings Mr.. Crawford tells of
his first appearance in the French
court and of the bow which he made
on that occasion. He was too modest,
however, to describe the scene, or
rather the effect, which his personality
produced. When he entered the court
with is lofty bearing and his tall, i'm
pressive figure, decorated for the first
time with the apparel of his high COM
mission as the American minister to
that court he was received with the
utmost demonstration. The emperor
was deeply impressed. He avowed
that Mr.. Crawford was the only man
to whom he had ever been constrained
to bow, and on that occasion he over
stepped the custom and made a repeti-
ton of his courtesy.
Fashioned in q gigantic mold, Mr.
Crawford was one of the handsomest
men that ever lived. He was a man of
great talent and of intellectual super
iority. He was recognized as the equal
of any of his adversarteS in the highest
councils of the land, and as candi-
date for the highest Office in the ma
tons gift he was defeated by only
small majority.
And yet Georgians have such little
generation for the dead as to ignore
the ashes of this great man and to
leave them unrecorded in an old field
The man who was once the envy of
all Europe and the pride of his fellow
man, thus shamefully an Outcast in
his death, when Georgia is a million
aire in the glory which he alone has
contributed

THE NIGHT TOILET.

If more attention were given the
night toilet rest would be better, sleep
sweeter and dreams pleasanter. A
bath will rout the nightmare, but it
should be taken at least two hours
after the evening meal in cool water,
and with no more rubbing than is
needed for drying. The hot bath is
good where there is Inflammation, as
it draws" Cold water is stimulating
and the reaction may induce wakeful-
ness. Ordinarily the cool Dip Will cool
the blood, to tonic enough to arrest
wasting tissues and prepare the body
for refreshing sleep. In hot weather
busting the skin with rice powder VIII
add to bodily comfort. With children
this is most desirable, being something
of a protection against the mosquito
and other pests. In the infected neigh
borhoods spirits of camphor, cologne
or deoderized alcohol are much better
The alcohol can be had for forty cents
a pint and if scent is desired one drop

also very nice to put good taste in
the mouth after cleansing the teeth. A |

SCRIBES USE SABEKS.
GERMAN NEWSPAPER MEN TO
FIGHT DUELS.
Challenges Have Been Issued and Ac-
cepted-Much Gore Is Expected
to Flow.

Chicago, Sept. 21.-TWo duelS instead
of one may be fought by City Editor
RuebeSamen, of the Abend Post. The
prospects of the first one With Editor,
iD-Chief ]. z. Steppes, of The Freie
Presse, were thought by the friends of
the principals yesterday to be very fiat
tering. SteppeS, who was challenged
by RuebeSamen because of articles re-
fecting on the German Press club pub
liShed in The Freie PreSse was in
clined to treat the matter lightly, but
said that if Ruebesamen insisted he
should have all the satisfaction he de-
sired. Mr.. Ruebesamen was much ex-
cited over the publication of the story
and asserted that Steppes has not
acted in good faith in letting the facts
become known.
He declared that if possible the duel
would come off. Both men served in
have been named as the weapons it is
thought the duel, if it occurs, will re-
suit IL bloodshed
In the afternoon Ruebesamen encOun-
tered City Editor Seldman, of The
Freie Presse, and after a quarrel is
sued a challenge to Seldman. The sec
ond duel, Ruebesmanen says, will be
fought after the encounter with
Steppes is finished. Seldman, it is
said, while acting as Steppes' second,
applied an approbrious epithet to Rue
besamen. Seldman, like the others,
was formerly German army officer.

A REMARKABLE DUCHESS.
She of Abercorn and Her Many Noble
Descendants.

A great deal has been written of the
levee of 101 descendants over which
the dowager duchess of Abercorn pre-
sided so genially recently at MOntagu
house. The gathering was probably
absolutely unique, for the venerable
hostess has known no less than six
dukes Of Bedford. the heads of the great
house of Russell being in turn her
father, her brother, her two nephews
and her two great-nephews. Earl Rus
sell and Lord Ampthill are both her
great-nephnWs, while she numbers
among her lineal descendants the reign
ing dukes of Abercorn and Marlbor-
ough, the future dukes of Leeds and
Buccleuch, the future marquis Of Lans-
downe, the earls Of Durham and Lich-
field and the future earls of Winterton
and Mount Edgcombe. Several very
large photographs of the march past
were taken.
The dowager duchess is a daughter
of John, duke of Bedford 0766-1S3S), by
his second marriage with the daughter
of the duke and the famous duchess of
Gordon, and is, therefore, half sister
to Lord John (earD Russell There

letters of Lady Granville. The duchess
was married in 1882 to the late duke

Iale Of Hard Times That Nav Not
be the Only One of Its Kind.

A taste for cooking and a genius for
making the most of everything rescued
a well known leading man and his
wife from going to bed breakfastless.
dlnnerless and supperless one night
this week. The situation was tragic
Tor a while, but now it has nassed
and as the actor and his wife arc
rlaying a summer engagement in Buff
falo in a stock company and getting
three good meals day they do not
hesitate TO tell Of their fix, how they
surmounted their difficulties and laugh
at their former plight.
Several enga gements last winter
with companies of the unstable order
reduced these players to point where
the last jewel had been pawned and
The last dollar paid for a small bed
room in a Twenty-fourth street actors
lodging house. The last penny went
one night for supper of cold ham
from the delicateSSen store and a
pint from the corner saloon. When
the leading man and his wife finished
their banquet both realized that TO-
morrow meant starvation unless a
touch could be made or the Actors
Fund applied to.
1t was noon before the actor awo5e
and nearly O'Clock before he evolved
a plan for securing a meal. He walked
out wearing his sole remaining over
coat, the pockets of which he had
| filled with stiff brown wrapping pa
per. In a saloon near by he spied
| some acquaintance. An invitation to
drink was the natural sequence of the
meeting. 1t was noticed that the actor,
though he accepted, fingered long near
the free lunch counter and dipped into
the bowl of cheese and sliced ham,
and touched with caressing fingers the
small slices of bread. 1t might also
have been noticed that he did not eat
much at the lunch counter. In a few
minutes the actor bade his friends
! good day and strolled up the street,
| stopping in several other cafes, meet
ing friends and acquaintance in each
/ place and lowering around the lunch
! table for quite a little while
His going up Broadway was neces-
sarily slow, and therefore it was 6
o'clock before he returned to his wife.
| She was sitting by the window silently
/ crying.
Whats the matter?" he asked.
Il know it's wrong, Paul, but [ am
/ so hungry"
Are you? Well, never mind" and
he kissed her and continued: I'll have
| supper in a few minutes. Get out
j your little gas stove and tin pail"
! Then he emptied his pockets. A
| table of their contents read like this:
Dozen small slices of bread half
pound of sliced ham, quarter of a
pound of tongue, half pound of
cheese in small cubes, two dozen
olives, various sizes; IS radishes, a
paper of salt and pepper, a dash of
mustard
! TOasting some of the slices of bread,
he put the tin pail half full of water
on the little stove and boiled some
tongue and ham. Next he put the top
Of the tin beer bucket on the gas,
poured in a little of the boiling water,
put in all of the cheese and little beer
that had been left, and fairly good
Welsh rarebit was the result.

FASHION AND FANCY.
The Latest Ideas Evolved by Modesto
Mantua-Maker.

An extravagant novelty is to trim {
light silk petticoat with frills of chif
fon of different colors.
The fashion of displaying ribbon or
the hair of little misses and youne
girls is revived, partly for the sake OF
convenience and partly to give 6
dressy effect. Braids are tied with
bright satin ribbon, c1lrls are held il
place by them, and above the top of q
single braid is thrust a tiny butterfly
bow. or the curls on the brow are held
in place by band of baby ribbon.
Black serge dresses are trimmed
with watered silk, edged with ecru
lace, and black hopsacking is adorned
with jet and yellow lace.
Sets of three gold and silver butter
flies in filagree. with some decided
color shading in the center, are sold for
the waist, the top Of the shoulders and
the hair. There are some of the most
fairylike flowers, such as pink mimosa
and the tamarisk, made in the same
tilagree thread to be used for the same
purpose.

Scalloped crepe edges in various de-

There seems to be quite demand for

For the summer hat there is nothing
daintier and cooler looking-and, I may
add. nothing more perishable-than

Satins are exceedingly fashionable

sells seemed to be on the point of foun-
dering. 1t was not until dusk, how
ever, that the firing ceased and the
battered Japanese fleet slowly de-
parted. Toward morning the remnants
of the Chinese fleet with six transports
started for Port Arthur, which was
safely reached. The damage to the
best Chinese ships is so extensive thai
1t can scarcely be repaired before the
arrival of winter The officers say
that both sides showed the most furi-
Gus courage.
Washington, d. c., Sept. 22.-Tle
Japanese legation here is in receipt
of the following cal'legram in regard
to the battle at Ping Yang on Sept. II:
The loss of Japan in the battle of
Ping Yang, so far as aScerta:ned. was
eleven officers killed. 154 nlen killed.
thirty officers wounded. J21 men
wounded, besides forty officers whose
fate is unknown. The Chinese lost
over 1000 killed. and the number of
wounded - not known. but it is be-
| neved to have been very large. \

in our field hospital" The Japanese
| officials here are much elated over the
latest reports, as they say the sinking
of Chinas big battleship, the Chen
| Yuen, fatally crippled China's water
defenses. Another significant fact
commented on at the Japanese lega
ton is that foreign officers appear tc
! have been in command of the Chinese
ships, which in the judgment of the
Japanese authorities here shows thai
the Chinese are yet deficient in native
! commanders and are depending OIL
foreigners to manipulate their ships
which is in marked contrast with the
native command Of all japanese war
/ ships.
