In Vienna man has just been buried
who, though he lived in great poverty,
was closely connected with the royal
house of Wurttemberg This was Count
Eberhard Won Wurttemberg, grandson of
Duke William of Wurttemberg and the
Baroness Tunderfeld. In his youth he
made himself 50 disagreeable to the
reigning house by his eccentricities that
he was kept a prisoner in the Ulm for
tress. His escape was a romantic affair.
He swan across the Danube and fed to
Austria, never to leave it again until
death.
He had few wants and succeeded in
living on next to nothing until the king
of Wurttelnberg gave him an annuity.
But he regularly spent the whole of it
during the first half of the month and
had nothSrg TO live on during the rest.
Part of his small income was spent
upon his daughter, who survives him.
Count Eberhard composed music, and
his one joy in life was to hear military
bands play his compositions, of which
the Alexander, Tegetthof and Emperor
William marches are still on their reper-
tory. His purse was empty, as usual,
after his three days illness, and this
cousin of the king ofWurttemberg, with
his fine physique and noble bearing, had
third class funeral and no mourners
except his poor landlady. He reached
the age of SO and had lived 40 years in
Austria. London Standard.

He Was Not Welcome.
An amusing story is told Of the early
days of the Margaret Louise home. The
home, as is we'll known, was built by
Mrs. Elliott F. Shepard as woman's
hotel, under the auspices Of the Young
Women's Christian association.
The first day the building was open
Miss Altman, the directress, was told
that gentleman had called to look at
rooms. Taking it for granted that he
wished to engage board for some woman
relative, she sent an attendant to show
him the rooms. He expressed himself as
much pleased and engaged a suit. At
nightfall the following day Miss Alt
man was informed by the Mortified at
tendant that "a man had come to occupy
the rooms" which he claimed to have
engaged the preceding day. In the hall
her startled eyes recognized the dignified
gentleman of the day before, accompa-
MED by colored valet with a dress suit
case in one hand, portmanteau in the
other, and with an expressman with a
big trunk bringing up the rear.
Miss Altman advanced and politely
requested an explanation. This caused
the gentleman to grow very red in the
face, while the valet rolled his eyes in
disapproval and the expressman waited.
The gentleman declared that he had
come to take possession of the rooms he
had engaged and had been refused the
keys
"Oh. but you cannot occupy the
roomsl'' she exclaimed. "This is wo-
mans hotel I" The valet dropped the
portmanteau, the expressman smiled.
while beads of cold perspiration be-
spangled the would be boarder's brow,
as he explained, that going by, he had
seen the place and, mistaking it for a
select hotel, was SO much pleased with
his inspection that he had persuaded his
nephew to come also and that prob
ably the young man would arrive by s
o'clock. Then, with many apologies,
he beat hasty retreat That evening
Miss Altman received the nephew, who
proved to be dashing young society
man, who. when he heard of his uncle's s
innocent mistake, was greatly amused
and laughed heartily. - New York

The discussion incident to the electric
light question is serving one good pur-
pose at least, il it has no other effect, and
that is to arouse the popular mind to the
needs of the town in the way of business
enterprise. There is complaint that there
70 no work for mechanics and laboring
people. Too true, no doubt, but what
stimulates business enterprise, attracts
capital and sets the wheels of industry
humming? Does constant decrying OF
public enterprise and belittling the possi-
bilities and advantages of our town do
1t? One of the best ways to get other
people to believe in WoodstowD is to
believe in it yourself, speak we'll of it,
and by every possible encouragement
help forward its growth and the general
good of the people. Woodstown has
advantages susceptible of improvement
to the advantage of all, bat the initial
steps will have to be taken at home, and
the sooner all recognize this fact and
begin in earnest to advance the interests
of the place by concerted action the
sooner will our hopes be realized. Better
times are coming, and when the clouds
of business depression lift, we ought te
be In position to reap some of the benefits
of the new conditions.
