BILE Affection.

Vienna, Sept 13. = The planned
funeral of the late Empress Elizabeth,
who was assassinated by an anar-
chist, contemplates bringing the re-
mains to Vienna Thursday, a lying in
state on Friday and the obsequies Of
interment on Saturday. Every flag in
the city is at half-mast, and the thea
tiers, races and other amusements are
suspended indefinitely. The emper-
or's fortitude is the topic of universal
admiration. He is bearing up man
fully despite the terrible shock, which,
in view of his age, has inspired the
gravest apprehension. Although at
first stunned, and then slightly eX
cited, he soon regained his self-con-
troll and displayed remarkable calm
ness. Occasionally, however, com
pletely overpowered by agitation, he
moaned piteously, repeatedly sobbing
the name Of the empress. Addressing
the chief marshal of the imperial
household he exclaimed: ut is incon-
ceivable how man could lift his hand
against one who never in her life
harmed anybody; one who did great
good" Then he moaned: Nothing
is spared to me in this world"

Americans who visit France and
Italy and come home with complaints
of the inferiority Of our roads, would
do we'll to remember that this country
is still young, that our population is
comparatively small AMI is spread over
wide spaces, and that we have had our
hands full of the business of setting up
national housekeeping and training
wild continent to civilized uses; but
our countrymen are practical folk,
and now that the good roads move
ment' has fairly begun, it is sure to
spread from sea to sea, and from the
rivers to the ends of the land. The
advent of the bicycle helps; the com
ing propulsion of carriages by storage
batteries will help more; and mean
while every enlightened owner of a We
hicle or draft animal is quick to sec
where the economy comes in. And the
invention and use of road building ma
chimes is creating new art and a new
industry.
