THE LOST AROHDUKE.
The Latest and Perhaps the Last RI
minder of John Ortiz.

The Latest and Perhaps the Last Re-
minder of John Ortiz.
A lawsuit ended in Switzerland within
the last ten days apparently puts to rest
the last rumor of the survival of Captain
John Orth, long known 10 the world as
Archduke John Salvador of Austria. This
Haps burger Prince gave up his titles and
estates that he might be free from all the
entangling alliances of his family, and
married Ludmilla Stubel, the sister OF a
Casino chorus girl. He qualified as {. sea
captain, bought the fuil-rigged ship Mar
gherita, and sailed in her for South Amer
lean ports.
From one Of these ports he started to
round Cape Horn, and no news OF him or
his wife has been received since, although
from time TO time he was said to have been
found in some remote part of the earth

commanding a warshIp in the China

vestigate these reports returned after q
years absence with the conviction that
Orth still lived, but he was unable to give
sufficient evidence TO spread his conviction
to the rest OF the world, although Orth's
relatives hoped on.
The Ham burg Marine Insurance Com
pany, with which Ortiz insured the Mar
gherlta, paid the policy. The payment
was preceded by some legal difficulties,
however, and these were renewed recently
when demand was make by Orth fam
lily on two Swiss banks for money deposited
with them by Orth before the fateiul voy-
age. The retiring Archcuke placed $200 600
each IN the banks of ST Gallen and Fret
burg. The Freiburg bank acceded to the
demand, and the $200,O00 was trans
ferred TO the Vienna credit institution
The bank of ST. Gallen would not give
up its deposit on demand. however tax
ing the ground that the lawful declara-
ton OF Orth's death could not be made be-
fore the expiration OF thirty years from
the time OF his disappearance; that is,
thirty years from 1890, or in 1920. The
courts decided against this contention,
and the remaining 100000 will be placed
in the same bank with the other.
So the man who preferred to be a no.
body rather than an Archduke virtually
has twice been declared dead by European
courts, although his adventurous spirit
may still be found marching on through
the tales of romances and PARKWAY CORE
srondents who are unwilling 10 spare his

mlds OF the eleventh Egyptian dynasty.
With this boat, which will lie installed
In the museum, and the TWO which re-
main In the Cairo museum, were two
more, which still rest in the sands which
stretch desolately from the Dashur pyra-
mlds, near which they were found. 1t is
expected that before long the remaining
TWO will be brought to Cairo and properly
installed.
The five boats were found buried at a
considerable depth not far from the
famous largest pyramid, and IN such
orderly form and with such mathematl-
cal relationship to the great pile OF stone
that 1t was evident that they had been
buried with design at that particular
spot. All were brought to the light and
air at once, and after examination by
scholars, proving their marvellous age,
tn IT preservation from the elements was
at once deemed necessary.
The boats were found to be alike in the
material OF which they were constructed
and in their general dimensions. The
| cedar of antiquity, which entered INTO so
much of the construction of things of
wood, wos used for building these boats.
While the equipments OF the boats had
generally disappeared with time, the
edges and ends were ragged and little

illness was evident. The boat that is in
Chicago now was probably better pre-
served than any. 1t is thirty feet long,
| eight feet of beam and four feet OF hold.
1t had been propelled, OF course, by oars,
| but the points OF contact for the oars were
not in evidence. A well-preserved and
| peculiarly marked and designed piece of
| rudder of wood was found near the boats,
and that has been brought to Chicago as
| the accompaniment OF the boat now here.
Two OF the boats were propped up and
! covered for preservation until they could
be moved, and three of them were put in
! shape to be carried to Cairo. The Dashur
pyramids are nearly twenty miles above
! Cairo, On the opposite side of the river,
and some seven miles from the bank.
| Eighty men were required TO carry the
| boats, one at a time, to the river steamer
| on which they were transferred to Cairo.
There in the museum they were propped
| and stayed with iron and cedar sufficiently
| to preserve them for exhibition. About
! per cent OF the original amount of wood
| was all that was necessary to add.
| From the design and decoration of these
| boats it is presumed they were in distin-
| guis he'd use, such as for the transportation
| OF spices, perfumes and offerings OF the
nature that were carried to the resting
| place OF the royal dead in the pyramids

AN EMPRESS AT HOME.
The Consort of Emperor William SettIin,
Down to Every Day Life.

The Consort of Emperor William Settling
Down to Every Day Life.
The German Empress is settling down
more com pletely than ever in the life
which is recognized social phase in
France as that OF a bonnie mere de iamille.
Those who are intimate with her-and she
chooses all her friends from the INN e.
diate memb ers of her own and her hus-
bands family-have for some time re-
marked on her growing Discrimination 10
assist at any public function unless plain
duty or the especial wish of the Emperor
makes it necessary. A favorite phrase of
the old Emperor William was: above
all, no politics for women" The training
and the inclinations alike of the Empress
induce her to follow this belief, and it is
little exaggeration 10 declare that .'the
Bismarck revelations, which have of late
thrilled Germany from end to end, are
held i'll her Imperial Majesty's secret
Reart to be of less i'm portance than, say,
the accident which lately kept Prince
Eitel Fritz. her second boy, on his SOFA
for some weeks. From the date of the
birth of her little daughter, Princess Vic
toria Louise, the Empress has not been
quite so strong as before.
In fact for some considerable time she
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-12-27

was in very delicate health, and her phvsi-
clans insisted on her giving up many OF
her favorite occupations and leading a
comparatively indolent life. This, albeit
unwillingly, she did, and she has gradu-
ally regained her strength, though even
now she is not so robust as before. She is
still a handsome woman and certainly bet
ter looking than when, as a young girl,
she first gave her hand to Prince William.
Her Majesty has, to certain extent, lost
her appearance of youth. Whether she
looks old or young, however. no pity need
be wasted on the Empress. for she Is one
of the happiest women In Europe. She
absolutely adores her children, and the
great trial OF her life is that the advancing
years of the Crown Prince and his brother,
Eitel Fritz, make it necessary that they
should be Withdrawn from her care and
placed under that of tutor in a different
locality.
Although the Emperor is naturally un.
able to give more than limited amount
OF hi time to them, he is as fond and as
proud OF his children as man can be.
He is seen at his best when in the imper-
ial playrooms, where he romps and gam
bois with the little ones as much to his
enjoyment as their own. The Empress
treasures up all their amusing sayings for
repetition to her hus band, and. as the
children are bright and qulc X witted,
these stories are often most dlverting and
somewhat startling in their originality;
so His Majesty often has an interesting
hour as be sits with the Empress in her
boudoi with thoughts OF public business
for once laid aside.
When in Darmstadt last month, on the
occasion OF the visi. of the Gar and Gar
ina OF Russia. their Majestes OF Germany
inspected many of the charitable institu-
tons of the city together, and their visits
to the hos pitfalls appear to have specially
interested them. They spent considerable
time in the wards, the Emperor convers-
ing with the officials on the manag ment
of the place, while the Empress, with the

Auction Sales in Janan.

There is little chance for fraud or COM
plant in the manner of conducting auc-
ton sales in Japan. Although there are
not nearly so many sales held there as in
this country, officials of the city have a
way OF conducting them much similar to
our method Of voting.
When an auction is to take place the
goods or property is advertised for two
weeks ahead. On the day of the sale each
bidder writes his name and address and
the amount of his bid for each lot on a
slip of paper, which he carefully places in
a box. When all the bids are III the auc-
tioneer opens the box in the presence Of
the spectators and after examining all the
goods are declared the property of the
highest bidder. By this system the
American custom of owners bidding in
property or goods would almost entirely
disappear. New York Journal.

A VERY BAD WALK The side

city TO the cemeteries on the hill are
in many places In dangerous condl-
tion, and ought to be repaired. Being
outside the corporation there is no
law governing the matter, and owing
to the hard times some property
owners feel unable TO keep up this
class of repairs. Nevertheless this
important thoroughfare should have
good walks, as IL is as much travelled
as any leading into the city.
