BERNHARDT ON THE TRAGEDY.
Great Tragedienne Speaks of Life Of
Murdered Empress.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the PhlladelphIa Press.
Geneva, Sept. 1S.-Sarah Bernhardts
soul was stepped in sorrow to-day by her
environments for she is in the hotel where
lies the dead Empress. When l asked the
greatest tragedienne of the nineteenth cen
fury to analyze the most terrible tragedy
of the age, she said:
81 am not sure that I could fully repro
duce in Imitation the splendid suffering
and heartbreaking vicissitudes Of Eliza
beth of Austria. The artistes highest
expression of grief is usually an abund-
ance of tears, but tears may fall without
measure and yet not give an expression
to a sorrow too deep for tears, such as
filled the later life of the Empress.
THE most developed passion in the
dead Empress was sorrow. She sound
ed all its depths. The circumstances of
her life made il thus. Her crown of
sorrows was the remembrance of lows
taken from her. Besides she had a Grecian
soul and the Greeks had passions more
keenly developed than other peoples
Her sorrow was all the higher and
nobler because her individuality was so
pronounced. Her murder scene would
not interest the public, because her as
sassination was SO vulgar that it is
hopelessly out of harmony with a
princely-born woman given to noble
ideas. No country can sympathize more
with Austria than the United States.

assassn's hand The role of the ruler is
unhappy"

Life in Porto Rico.

From the New York Evening Post

I have been in the homes of the wealthy
In the dwellings of the middle classes and
in the huts of the INDECENT. 1 have seen
but few rooms which had anything what
ever that would recommend them as sleep
Ing apartments. The salon and the din
ing room may be spacious and airy The
bed chamber viii be a den in the most
unsuitable corner, small, dark and cheer
less. The Porto Rican may enjoy his life
as keenIy as does any one, but 1t is after
a manner of his own, and that manner
would be far from acceptable to the aver
age right minded American. There should
be several moderate sized fortunes lying
around on this island for enterprising
American Bonifaces who will come here
and erect modern hotels on American
principles. They need not be palatial The
prime requisite would be that they be pro-
vided with windows that viii admit light
and air. One is led to imagine that the
Porto Rican has some bitter feud with
both of these rather desirable provisions
of nature, so diligently does he seek to
exclude them from his buildings, and par
ticularly from his sleeping rooms.
Glass Is not unknown on the island. 1t
is familiar to all in the shape of bottles,
gobets and mirrors. Mirrors are placed
in the back of the front seat of many of
the carriages. But window glass is a
rarity, both for stores and for private
residences. In dwellings, either the solid
shutter or a blind is used to close the
openings in the walls. Stores seldom use
show windows. According to the frontage
of the building viii be the number of the
openings closed by wooden doors. For
an hour or two at midday these doors are
shut Commercial Porto Rico goes to its
breakfast and suspends all transa ctions
while it does so. Al such an hour in the
morning as suits ones convenience he
takes a sup of coffee and a roll, with,
| perhaps, an egg. AT midday one eats his
breakfast. 1t appears to be an important
| function, and business is suspended while
| It is in progress. In other words, business
! seems to be conducted between meals. One
finds many customs which are strange
| to American eyes. Cows often accom-
panied by muzzled calves, are driven about
| the streets. Would you have milk? You
| get II direct from the fountain. The
| driver will stop in the street and milk for
| you, a pint or a quart into a bottle.
| Whether or no the ladies go to market
| or to the stores on shopping expeditions
| | cannot say. One rarely sees a lady on
| the streets in street dress. The markets
| are thronged during the morning hours,
but the customers seem to be of the poorer
classes The quantities purchased would
indicate only a day-to-day provision.

Condemned by Atlantians.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 15.-Attorney Walter
Browns complaint about the tampering
with the jury lists, before Judge Lump
kin yesterday, was the subject Of a great
deal Of public debate to-day.
Secretary Glenn of the Consolidated
street Railway Company admits having
furnished one Of the jury commissioners
with a list of twenty-five names, with the
request that they be left out of the box,
and further investigation shows that 100
names heretofore appearing on the jury
lists have been dropped by the commits
sloners. No cause as assigned for the
dropping of all these names, many Of
whom are well known citizens whose ser
vices as Jurors would be valuable to the
county A list of the names dropped out
OF the box was published this afternoon
and has caused indignation in some quar-
ters.
Along with this list, Judge John L. Hop
kins president of the Bar Association,
publishes an interview in which he de-
scribes the conduct of the secretary of the
Consolidated Street Railway Company in
seeking to have certain men left out OF
the jury box as a serious and dangerous
matter, striking a blow at the purity Of
Justice at the very source of the stream. ."
The already heavy burden of unpopu-
larity borne by the Consolidated is with
out doubt greatly increased by this break
Of its secretary. and the incident is sure
to play an important part in next months
election.
Judge Lumpkin has taken the matter I'M
der advisement. He is sure to order a
thorough investigation and this step is be-
ing awaited with warm public interest.
