RoMEo AND JULIET AGAIN.
A Montagu-CapuIet Love Tragedy In
Real Life I'm Austrin.

Vienna Letter to London Daily News
An extraordinary love tragedy, recalling
the story of Romeo and Juliet, Is reported
from Altfordt Irma. Some time ago the
daughter Of a highly respected family
made the acquaintance of an employee Of
the local administration. whose uncle is
one of the princes Of the Hungarian
church. The two fell deeply in love, and
often met by stealth, as the young mans
parents could not forget a lawsuit they
had had with the girls family, and which
was decided against them. The girls IA
ther who was once q millionaire, but
whom speculation had reduced, tried to
persuade his daughter to marry a rich
landowner who was anxious 10 make her
his wife. The young man succeeded, how
ever in getting a dispensation through his
clerical uncle, and secret marriage was
performed.
A week ago the girls parents again
made violent scene TO induce her to mar
~ the land owner. She took their words
so much TO heart that she took a large
dose Of opium, and next morning was
found unconscious in her bed. The young
husband, hearing the news, ran to the
house, and in the general confusion en-
tered her room, Seeing her pale and mo-
tionless and believing her to be dead, he
had brought with him. The report woke
the young woman, whom the opium had
held In a trance When she saw her lover
lifeless on the ground near her she took
the revolver from his dead hand and shot
herself

Turkish Empire Failing to Pieces.
From the Saturday Review.


II seems doubtful whether the reforms
which the sultan so unwillingly offers to
his Armenian subjects will do much good
The Turkish empire resembles a building
that is falling to pieces through age and
rottenness-repairs are more fatal to IT
than the quiet passage of years. Disor-
ders in the Asiatic provinces Of Turkey ap-
pear to be increasing. Disturbances are
reported to have broken out at Karasun
and in Mudania while we hear from
Odessa that lighting is going on all
through the Caucasus between the Ar
menians and the Turks, and that bands
of armed Armenians are leaving their
work and passing the Russian frontiers
in order to fight the Kurds and Turks
who are attacking their defenceless com
patriots in Turkish Armenia. In the
meantime Armenia refugees are arriving
daily in Southern Russia, bringing with
them narrowing tales of the wrongs they
have undergone at the hands of the Turks.
and thus bad feeling is growing in inten-
sity on both sides of the Russian from
tier. We must be thankful If peace is
gradually re-established. In view of the
present condition of things. no one can
deny that Lord salisbury's prudence only
came Just in time.

Speaker Peel, who, according TO our
cable dispatches is about to resign his Of
fice, has been the presiding officer of the
House of Commons since 1884 That he has
been in the chair so long. and though sew
eral changes in the political complexion
of the House, yet has been able to hold
the confidence and good will of all the par
ties, affords striking illustration of the
difference between the American view of
the speakership of the House of Represen-
tatives and the English view of the speak
ership of the House Of Commons. In this
country the speakership is too frequently
regarded as merely powerful part of
the machinery of political party, and is
used almost altogether TO the end of con-
trolling offices. Exact impartiality is never
expected in the American speaker. People
look for him TO favor his party or his fac
tion of the party, in almost every ruling.
And they are seldom disappointed. The
English speaker, on the other hand.
strives to hold the balance with an abso-
lutely even hand and anything else would
not be tolerated by the Commons or the
people.
