THE UNFORTUNATE WIDOW OF
NAPOLEON sERIoUSY ILL
Brief History Of the Eventful Life Of
One Of Europe's Most Noted
Women-Much Respected
PARIS. Aug. f.-Ex Empress Eugenis 10
reported seriously ILL.,


Eugenie, ex-empress OF the French and
widow Of Louis Napoleon, is the daughter
of Dona Maria Kirkpatrick Of Closeburn,
Dumfrieshire, Countess Dowager De Mon
tito. whose father was English consul at
Malaga at the period Of her marriage with
the Count De Mon,ijo. an officer in the
Spanish army. On the death of the Count
De Montijo his widow was left fortune
adequate to the maintenance Of herself and
two daughters, one Of whom married the
Duke Of Alba and Berwick.
For Eugenie, the Countess Teba, higher
destiny was reserved. In 1851, accompar-
led by her mother, she paid a long visit to
Paris, where at the various entertainments
siven at the Tuilleries she was distin-
guiehed by the dignity and elegance or her
demeanor and by her great personal beauty
Of aristocratic English, rather than tho
Spanish, style. Her mental gifts were not
less attractive.
Shortly after the opposition Of a higher
northern power had put an end to the idea
Of a union between Emperor Napoleon III
and the Princess Carolawasa Of Sweden.
he apprised the council Of ministers of his
intended marriage with the daughter Of the
Countess De Montijo, measure which ex-
cited some dieapproval among them and
even led to their temporary withdrawal
from office. During the short time that
interviewed between the announcement OF
the approaching event and Its realization,
Countess Teba and her mother took up their
abode in the Palace d'Elysee. The mar
rIare was celebrated with much magnifi-
cence on January 2s, 1853, at Notre Dame,
the empress then being IN her twenty-third
year. On March 16, 1856, she became the
mother OF an heir to the house Of Bona
parte, Up to the outbreak Of the war be-
tween France and Germany her life was
comparatively uneventful. being passed
chiefly in the ordinary routine Of state et'-
ouette. When the war was declared and
Emperor Napoleon took the field, the en-
Immediately after the revolution in Paris
on September 4th, she hastily left tho
Tuilleries and escaped from France, land
ing five days later at Ryde, in the isle OF
Wight, and shortly afterward Joined tho
prince imperial at Hastings. Camden house
at Chiselhurst was subsequently selected
as the residence Of the imperial exiles. In
the following year the empress went to
Spain on a visit to her mother
The Emperor Napoleon II died at Chisel-
hurst January 0, 1873. and In 1879 the prince
imperial, who had accompanied the Eng
lish army in the Zulu war, was killed. HIS
body was brought to England and hurried at
Chiselhurst, and the following year, ontho
anniversary of her sons death. the en-
press went to Zululand TO visit the fatal
spot. In 1881 she removed from Camden
house to the Marlborough estate in Hamp
shire, close to the borders Of the county o,

vessel was safe. She was sent TO Santiago

Porto Rico with ordnance stores for the

One Person in Every Four Suffers
From Piles.

About one person In every four SUI
fers from some form of rectal disease
The most common and annoying is
itching piles, indicated by warmth,
slight moisture and intense, uncon-
trollable itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or scalve which some
times gives temporary relief, but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be eX-
pected from such superficial treat
ment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid
Pile Cure, not only for itching piles,
but for every other form of piles,
blind, bleeding or protruding. The
first application gives intense relief
and the continued use for a short time
causes a permanent removal of the
tun1ors or the small parasites which
cause the intense itching and discom-
fort of itching piles.
Many physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief af-
forded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was
because it was supposed to contain
cocaine, opium or similar drugs, but
such is not the case. A recent careful
analysis of the remedy showed it to
be absolutely free from any cocaine,
opium. or in fact any poisonous, in
furious drugs whatever. Sold by drug
gists at so cents per package.
