By many it is enormously supposed
that the succession is governed by the So
called Pragmatic Sanction, which was the
cause of the War of Succession in the early
part of the last century. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether this species of treaty is
still in existence or whether it really re-

papers, in response to the question raised
about the matter few years ago by Louis
Kossuth, were compelled to admit that no
trace of the treaty in question is to be
found either in the State archives at
Vienna or Budapest. In fact, according
to the most eminent authorities in Austria
there is nothing to prevent Emperor

last Wednesday evening Mrs. Pond gave a
dinner OF thirty-two covers in honor of
Miss Grant, the betrothed of her eldest
son. 1t is in such pleasant home functions
that she finds her creates pleasure. Mrs.
Pond is one of the board of managers of
the Ladies' Protective and Relief Society.
The youngest of the ladies who have so
acceptably filled their posts as social as
sistants to the Mayor is Mrs. L. R. Ellert,
whose home is at 1915 Webster street. She
discharged her duties when ex-President
Harrison and party, Vice-President
Stevenson and party and the Wanna
makers were the guests of the City in a
charming manner. Her pleasantest recol-
lection of her husbands administration is
the visit of Mr.. and Mrs. Stevenson. A
picture of the party occupies a place OF
honor in Mrs. Ellert's parlor.
Mrs. Ebert is glad her husband is out of
public life. She is a devotee of home, al
though her beauty. intelligence and grace
would make her an ornament of any social
assemblage.
Curiously enough none of San Fran
ciscos lady Mayoresses were native
daughters of the Golden State. Who will
be the first of CALIFORNIA; fair offspring to
grace that position?

PLAYING FOR THE QUEEN.

How Preparations Are Made for Per-
formances at Windsor Castle.
Playing before the Queen by royal COM
mand," says an exchange, is the highest
desire of every English follower of the
stage who desires to reach the topmost
round in the ladder of fame. The Queen
has had but few performances held before
her of late years, and the notice in each
case has been very short.
When the manager of a company has
been notified to appear with his players or
singers for the royal pleasure, he imme-
diately hastens to Win dsor with mis- scenic
artists and stage mechanics to make ready
for the performance. The temporary stage
and theater is constructed and the per
formers have special rehearsals. The gen
eral members of the company are also
given thorough coaching If an opera is to
be produced, as the Queen is very critic al.
The stage is erected a t Waterloo cham Der

for the purpose-the auditorium con-

according TO precise instructions, and the
chamber decorated With floral and other
adornments. During these preparations

cesses who happen to be there frequently
look in and assist-their aid not being linn
tied TO suggestions and directions, but

own hands this or that piece Of furniture

Extent OF the Drafts Banks That
Cater to Female Custom
Checks drawn by women and aggre-
eating in value more than 100000 have
been cashed by few of the banks in this
city and Brooklyn within the last three or
four days. In almost every instance the
money paid out on the demand of these
feminine checks was brand new
For a number of years the banks that
cater especially to women have made it a
practice at Chris tmas time to pay out new
bills and new coin only in honoring the
checks of female depositors. Two or three
of the banks use nothing but new money
for this purpose all the year around

Jacob R. Demarest, paying teller of the
Bank of New Amsterdam, said that the
woman depositors of that bank had been
active in drawing out money for Christi
mas, but he did not think that the
amounts drawn were so large as last
years. For instance, where woman
would have drawn check for $3.50 last
year the same woman would be likely to
draw out 500 this year.-New York Times,

the silkworm eggs were Matched before the
