PEOPLE AND RULER

Twenty languages are spoken in Francis
Joseph's dominion.
The laws of Austro- Hungary are published
in eight different languages.
The name Hapsburg or Habsburg, was
originally Habichtsburg, that is Hawkcastle
The imperial crown was elective, but in
process of time practically became heredit
airy in the house of Hapsburg.
The name Austria is Oesterich, signifying
the eastern part of the kingdom. 1t was
applied to the territory of east Germany.
Married women may smoke in Vienna
without being considered "emancipated,'
but unmarried women who indulge in to-
bacco are looked at askance.
Good society in Vienna consists of one
emperor, one empress, eighteen archdukes,
the foreign diplomatic body and those mem
bers of the aristocracy whose blood was blue
enough.
In Vienna a man is often admitted to
court society because Of his official position
whose wife is never received. No matter
how high he rises and how powerful he be-
comes, his wife is barred. Even the late
empress was snubbed because she was only
the daughter of duke.
The imperial family of Austria is de-
scended from Rudolph Won Hapsburg, a Ger
man count, born in 1918, who was elected
king of Germany in 1878. The male line
died out in l740 with Emperor Karl VI,
whose only daughter, Maria Theresa, gave
her hand to Duke Franz of Lorraine and
Tuscany, afterward Kaiser Francis l. of
Germany He thereby became the founder
of the new house of Hapsburg- Lorraine.

To the Editor of The Los Angeles Herald:
In an editorial of this mornings issue, of
the Times it states that Mr.. Hawkins, the
colored gentleman nominated for the board
OF education in the Seventh ward, would
have nothing done to him on election day,
meaning that he would be scratched. Let
me assure the Times that we propose to elect
MIR. Hawkins. The fusion party are all Of
the same mind on that point. So keep an
eye on him. As Silver Republican, 1 did
intend to vote for two men ON the Repub-
lican ticket. After the Times insinuation
about knitting, I'll now vote the straight fu-
sion ticket, and many others will do the
same. So much for the Times cuteness.
We also propose to return our present may
or, for the reason that we all know exactly
how he stands on the water question. We
also know that Mr.. Eaton is sincere friend
to all corporations; therefore, we have no use
for him, while the water question is to be
settled. We are also a little tired of seeing
the same set of men holding down our city
and county offices and deputyships. The tax
payers would like to see the cost of running
this city and county government decreased
by about fifty percent. They feel as though
they had been. held up, 40, these many
years." And for change, we propose to
elect the fusion ticket from top to bottom.
Hurrah for Maguire!

What Happened to Jonesp

To the Editor of The Los Angeles Herald:

ter bills that are posted all around, telling
what happened to Jones. Do they mean
that General Jones whom we nominated for
an office two years ago and who has just
Topped!

him, and l remember that he was red-hot
for fusion then, and now they say he has
written something about its being entirely
against his principles.

and saw one of those bills and so thought
would go to the theater and see what really
did happen to Jones, although l didn't
really have much doubt about It. But the
play didn't explain it at all.
The fellow they call Jones doesn't look
like General Johnstone Jones, but it might
have been, as he was all fixed up, and had
his mustache cut off and a lot of girls kissing
him, and when l saw him CARRYING on that

In all his recent speeches President Mckinley has haped
upon the splendid achievements of his administration The
uniformity of his utterances in this re-
SERVICEABLE spect indicates predetermined purpose
WAR GLORY Bearing in mind the fact that the presi-
dent is novice in politics it is not diff
cult to perceive purpose is The necessity for exciting
enthusiasm in the Republican party indicated by Senator
Hanna is obviously his aim in continuously dwelling upon the
glory the country has lately achieved.
How far this gamor of glory be made effective in
the election campaign is debatable question If this
presidential year. and Admiral Dewey, for example,
ddate, great deal enthusiasm might undoubtedly be
worked up An of the Mexican the election

the civil had paved the for General Grants march to

there conspicuous heroes before the electors if
except the Republican candidate for governor of New York
The very fact that such great and seemingly futile eff
fort is being made in this direction by all the Re-
publican leaders looks like indication that the peo
pie have in mind the military mismanagement and suf
ferng of the soldiers rather than the glory No
of palaver from the president any other will
mitigate the bunders if not the crimes that committed
by satellites of the administration. 1t is artfu political
to attempt divert public attention. but its
parency is apparent to keen observers

Ex-Husband the Best Man

Baltimore, Md.-On Monday Mrs. Minnie
A. Ostertag got a divorce from Albert Os-
tertag, on Tuesday she received license to
marry John Emmert, and last night the
wedding took place over the saloon con-
Quoted by Ostertag, with the ex-husbapd as
best man. There were many guests at the
wedding Mrs. Ostertag was dressed in her
best and Emmert was in high feather. The
wedding procession was unique. The music
ians came first, playing lively tune. Fol
lowing them came two little girls with flow
ers, and then Ostertag, staggering under the
weight OF an immense wedding cake. In his
wake were his divorced wife and the man
she was going to wed. Ostertag advanced
after the wedding and gave his ex-wife a
hearty kiss, wishing her well with her new
husband. Then he cried: "These people need
something to drink" and went behind the
bar and dispensed drinks to the guests. The
neighbors say that Mrs. Emmert, who is the
real owner of the saloon, agreed to keep her
divorced husband in the house and give him
81 per week for his services.

Marriage in the Philippines

In no respect will the domination or even
the influence of the United States in the
philippines work for good more than in the
social life of the people. An American min
lister who has recently returned from the
islands is thef authority for the statement
that the priests have for many years charged
the natives nc. less than $50 for performing
the marriage service. As the average ma
tive under Spanish rule was able to earn
about S. a month when times were good"
and he had regular employment, it is easy
to see why the rtih of matrimony has been
more honored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance and why common law marriages
have always been the rule rather than the
exception. 1t is safe to say that among the
first reforms introduced in the islands is one
that will have direct bearing upon the sane
