came the humiliation OF Austria BY Ger
many. and the Macmillan episode. and
fnally the tragedy In which Prince Ru-
dolph figured. All Of these things have
served to make Of Francis Joseph melan-
choly. much broken man. and the effect
upon his wife has been much more severe.
Even the influence Of her husband who
10 devoted TO her. and Of her one married
daughter. Princess Valerie, IS now lost upon
her.
About ten years ago. when Empress Eliza
beth became infatuated with the English
sport OF fox hunting she was striking
woman In appearance. She looked much
younger than she really was, and she ere
ated furore IN England. She spoke Eng
gllsh like native was unconventional, cor
dial Ia manner. and witty. She speedily
became popular. Following the hounds was
a passion with her For obvious reasons
the Queen Of England does not follow
the hounds. II has been many years since
she has gcntured upon any equestrlanlsm
further than short excursion now and
her better than blooded hunter would do.
Nor do the Royal Princesses ride to the
hounds. the Queen being opposed to any
form Of exercise that might put the necks
Of her royal progeny in jeopardy The
Empress OF Austria was. however, famil-
lar figure on the hunting field. and to use
a sporting expression, she rode straight.
There was no fence or hedge too high. and
no ditch or water jump too broad for her.
In her first season she won more praises
for her good riding and her pluck than
for her accomplishments as Empress Of
Austria.
In her own Court Empress Elizabeth
has always displayed these same amiable
qualities. In no court In Europe Is eu-
quette more strict. IN none are the mobiles
more proud or more Jealous Of their rights
and privileges. Even Francis Joseph. an
smlnble. cagy-golng man. has been bound
as with hooks of steel to all the old rules

Of Emperor Francis Joseph has never
before so admirably shown as in his tender,
loving guardianship Of his stricken consort.
Wore she still the young Empress whose
beauty and grace all Europe once admired,
her husband could not be more painstaking
and thoughtful in looking to her comfort
now when sue seems to have lost all
thought OF herself
II is necessary now to watch the Empress
closely. Her moods are ohangeable. and
each recurring remembrance Of her unfor-
tunate son leads to some outbreak II such
an expression may be used. 1t may be at
midnight and in a storm. when the humor
will seize her to go and pray In the little
chapel where Prince Rudolph's remains
are laid The Emperor's orders are that
she must have her way IN these whlms and
she has careful attendants wait on her
until these fits Of morbid 'meancholia are
passed over and she becomes herself again.
On other occasions she takes a fancy for
Journeys into the Interior and on these oc-
casions a special car is prepared, and ac-
companled by officials and attendants she
travels until this TT, too. is spent.
Since the death OF her son the Empress
has built memorial ohapels and monuments
throughout the Empire and these she visits
from time to tmo as the fancy seizes her.
OF late the Empress has fallen upon the
idea that her end is near and that she will
soon die. She is arranging for hor final
resting place at great expense. She has
built at Corfu. upon plans approved by her
self. a magnificent villa, and has christened
II "L'Achilleion." To her will she has
added a codlcl IN which she says, L Hleh

that the waters can continually break on

HER DIPLOMACY TESTED.
The Tact of Senator Jarvis wife Equal
to the occasion.

to the Occasion.
Senator Jarvis Of North Carolina is only
81 years old. though his white hair and
beard and rather careworn face make him
appear probably ten years older. He tells
an amusing story OF his experience at the
Court OF Dom Pedro during Mr.. Cieveland's
former Administration, when he was Min
lister to Brazil
MRS. Jarvis is quito a diplomat" he
said. though a little more sensitive about
people installing my age than am. Know
ing this latter fact, It may be Judged how
hard was her trial in a little court incident
which occurred the day before we called
at the palace to tske official leave OF the
Brazilian Government. Court etiquette re.
qulres that royalty shall never be contra.
dicted under any circumstances.
"On the day before l meant to take of
fetal leave Of tho Emperor as Minister OF
tho United States. Mrs Jarvis and drove
up to the palace and requested the portelro,
as the doorkeaper is called. to ask the
oamaylsta, who is the royal chamberlain,
to make an engagement with the Emperor
for tho following day at 10 o'clock. The
porteiro had been gone but a few minutes
when the old Emperor came to the door
himself and invited us in.
II said Your Majesty will understand
that the portelro has made a mistake; we
requested him to see the camaylsta and
make an engagement with Your Majesty
for tomorrow at noon. when We will take
formal leave o: the Brazilian Government
The Emperor said that was all right, but
insisted that We should go and talk with
him socially We entered the palace and
were soon engaged in answering the En-
peror's questions. We talked sometimes
IN Portuguese and sometimes In French,
The Emperor kept us a long while telling
him OF the United States.
another usage OF court etiquette Is that
you can never leave the presence Of
royal parsonage until he has Indicated that
your presence Is no longer desired. Finally
tho Emperor asked Mrs. Jarvis: What Will
your husband do when he returns to the
United States? He will resume his prac-
tice OF law she replied. Impossible said
the Emperor; he is too old to practice law
Mrs. Jarvis explained to the Emperor
that men of her husbands age In the United
states wero only reaching the period Of their
greatest activity, and that Comparatively
few Of them became distinguished at an
earlier age. The Emperor wRs then 10
years old, and. owing to bad health, looked
much older
land how old is your husband?' bc
asked Mrs. Jarvis. He is so years ola,
Your Majesty, She replied. Flfty-two
years old! exclaimed the Emperor. WHY
| am 10 years old, he said, and YOUR hus.
band looks at least ten years older than
| do, doesn't he?'
The question was addressed to Mrs
Jarvis, and court usage made her give the
smiling reply, Yes, Your Majesty Know
Ing the constituencies Of my wife on that
SUBJECT ! regarded 1t as a most severe test
OF her diplomacy"
