UNHAPPY HOUSE 0F.HAP0BURG.

Then the Emperor's favorite brother.
| Macmillan, with his beautiful wife,
| left full of hope and confidence to
| found new empire in Mexico, but IN
reality to lay down his brave young
/ life to appease' the wrath of the Mexi-
| cans. Poor Carlotta still drags out her
! existence in a madhouse.
Then followed the death of their sec
| ond cousin, mad King Ludwig OF -Ba-
varia, who drowned himself and the at
! tendant who tried to save him in the
! Tegernsee. During all this Austria
/ was experiencing great political trou-
! bles, which ended in the fall OF, Aus
trian power on 1.-THE field of Sadowa.
! The Empress has done more by her
/ sympathy with Magyar ideas to avoid
| open revolution and to attach the peo=
pie of Hungary to the dynasty than
all the schemes of statesmen. The de-
monstrations of affection for the impe-
| rial couple at the celebration of their
silver wedding in 1879 will always be
remembered.
The Emperor said to DR.. Won Smolka
at the time of the Crown Princes
death: How much 1 owe to my wife
in these days of bitterness and what
a support she has proved to me l can
not describe 1t was the terrible
death of her only son that told so
greatly on the health of the Empress
and obliged her TO travel constantly in
search of the peace which she has only
just found. The mystery of Rudolph's
death has been discussed and explained
in many ways, but l think it is now
generally conceded that he and the poor
Baroness Marie Vecsera met their
death at the hands of her uncle. She
was engaged to be married TO her I'M
Gle and her family greatly approved of
! the match. She, however, cared moth
| ing for him and announced her inten-
ton of going to Meyerling with the
Crown Prince. Her uncle told her IL
she did so he would kill them both, and
as she persisted he carried out his
threat. She was carried at midnight,
clad only in a wrapper, by her uncle
| to the convent of the Nuns of St. CrOiX
| at Heiligenkreuf, near Voslan and bu-
ried. The only witness of the deed
was the coachman, who was induced
! by large sums of money to leave the
country and who died within the year.
1t was evidently thought safer to get
rid of him.
! 1t seems strange that cousin of Ru-
| dolph's widow, Prince Baldwin of Elan
ders, whose brother recently visited the
United States, should have been found
dead in as mysterious circumstances.
In this case the wild young Prince. who
was heir to the Belgian throne and ne
/ phew of the present King, was sup
/ posed to have met his death at the
hands of his uncle for not showing suf-
ficient respect for lady the King adj
mired.
Among other things that have

it is safe for any one familiar with his
work to say that this portion of the no.
tice was written some time ago, prob
ably weeks before the opening took
place.
Yet. as 1 have said before, Mansfield
has had months of glorious advertis-
ing, and this may pull him through the
season. The newspapers are great ed
ucators: Persons who never heard of
"Troilus and Cressida" know all about
"Cyrano de Bergerac,' and will not rest
until they see him and his nose on the
stage. l hope that Mr.. Manst1eld's
production may live to see San Fran
cisco. We are fairly burning for some
thing special, difficult and exclusive.
And even should the Alcazar keep it's
word and give US nasal specialties, that
need not damage the prospects of
Mansfield's season. However, 1 shall
not believe the Alcazar's "Cyrano" un-
til I see it. They plotted Ibsen on
O'Farrell street last year, and the h.
senites are still waiting for him.

varia, and was born in the romantic
castle of Possenhofen, on the lake OF
Starnberg. Her mother, Duchess Luz
dovica Wilhelmina, was sister or
Princess Sophia of Bavaria, who was
the mother of Emperor Francis Jo-
seph.
A marriage was practically arranged
between Francis Joseph, who was then
only % years old, and the eldest daugh-
ter of Duke Macmillan Joseph when
the young Prince was sent to the cas-
tie of Possenhofen to make the &C
quaintance of his future bride. The
Prince dismissed his carriage and at
tendants on the borders Of the forest,
intending to finish his journey on foot.
After a short walk he found himself
on the shores of the lake of Starnberg
with the prospect of long detour il
he could not find some one to carry
him across. Fortunately, he discov-
cred a young girl in a boat near the
shore. He hailed her and she con-
scented to take him across. He was
much struck by her extraordinary
beauty and, concealing his identity,
talked to her all the way over.
Great was his surprise when she was
presented to him that night as his Cou-
sin Elizabeth. From that moment he
abandoned his suit with her elder SIS
ter, who was greatly disappointed and
has never recovered from it. At a ball
given at Ischl the 18th of August, 1853
the Emperor never left the side of the
Princess Elizabeth and at the end of
the evening he emphasized his atten-
tions by presenting her with superb
bouquet. Nevertheless the Princess
was greatly astonished when her hand
some cousin proposed the next day.
ut is impossible she exclaimed
1t took several days to convince her
that he was really in earnest and the
betrothal was not announced until
August "a.
The first years of married life of the
Emperor and Empress were supremely
happy Both young, handsome and at
the head of the greatest power of the
time, life seemed to hold everything
for them. Then commenced the series
of disasters which seem to have
reached a eliminating point in the
death of the Empress
First came the death of their eldest
child while still in infancy.

The court was plunged into mourn
ing for the sister of the Empress, the
Duchesse d'Alencon, who was SO terri
bly, burned to death in the Charity Ba-
zaar fire in Paris a little over year
ago. And just recently great anxiety
has been felt at Vienna over the possi-
BILE fate of the Queen Regent of Spain,
who was an Austrian Archduchess, and
her little son.
Added to all these sorrows, the En-
peror has the grief of knowing that the
empire will probably fall at his death,
as he has no worthy successor.
