Horrors of
the Hapsburg

The recent assassination OF the en-
press Of Austria recalls the fact that
the house OF Hapsburg seems to be
as unfortunate now as it was once
successful in those intrigues whereby
the counts OF Hapsburg became the
dukes and later the emperors of Aus
tria.
1t was By murder, treason, treach-
cry and perfldy of every known kind
that the dukes of Austria BOX on the
title OF kings, and finally became the
inheritors and the representatives OF
the Roman empire. And ian this rec
ord the women of the Hapsburg fam
lily played romantic part and not
unfrequently that of a Jezebel or a
Messalina. We need not go further
back than the time OF Maria Theresa
Her character as a empress is
well known, but her character as q
mother Is not, yet 1t was indicated
from the following cruel incident. Her
daughters were as unfortunate as they
were fair, and that they were fair to
the point of enchantment goes with
out saying Burke has left on record
n immortal words the impressions
which one glance at the divine face OF
Maria Antoinette left upon his mind
But more fair and more beautiful still
was Maria Antonette's sister, the
arch duchess Maria Josepha The
emperor idolzed her and the lmperl-
Gus empress-queen herself who had
little time or inclination for lavishlng
caresses upon the six fair daughters
which she had borne to Francis of
Lorraine, regarded Maria JOsepha
with a sweet and peculiar Indulgence.
Ar t6 this Inflated princess was a
girl of ravishing beauty with hair of
golden auburn, with the face OF
Psyche, with a sinewy form, a pc
culiar, even angelic sweetness of dis
position and exquisite manners. Just
as she had turned her 18th year the
Enperor Francis died and while she
was engaged to Ferdinand II. Of Ma
pies.
The engagement was one that
brought pride and JOY To Maria There
sa's heart. II was an alliance which
extended the influence of the Haps-
burgs in that southerly direction
which has been the perpetual dream of
the house, The marriage treaty was
signed and the betrothal of this be-
witching bride took place August 8,
l761 The court of the Hapsburgs put
aside the mourning that it had as
sumed because of the emperor's death,
The empress herself was radiant VITA
smiles. F'etes and balls and "A series
OF the most brilliant entertainments

upon which no courtier had gazed
more languid and lusterless as the gay
and royal revelry proceeded. The
rose had wilted.
More than once the beautiful girl de-
clared that her marriage should never
take place II was evident to all that
there was some awful secret weighing
upon the mind of the fair creature,
and a dark cloud at once eclipsed all
the former sunshine of the lady's life.
Finally Maria Theresa seemed to
take offense at her daughters despon-
dency She did not press the arch
duchess to her heart nor look into
her once fair but now llfeless eyes the
sweet and kindly smile of a mother.
But CH the contrary, the royal mother
ordered the arhduchess to repair
alone to the vault In which her dead
father lay, and there kneeling by his
coffin TO pray for the repose of his
soul. The archduchess regarded this
as the last and most dreadful blow.
She entreated her mother to save her
such an ordeal. Maria Theresa, how
ever, was little moved to pity and as
little used to brook opposition in any
thing; and least of all would she toll
crate it in matter where she ap-
peared TO have a mysterious personal
interest. She, therefore, refused to
listen to her daughters pleading ana
insisted upon her orders being
obeyed to the letter The archduch-
ess was not ignorant of the motive
which actuated her mother but she
dared not dsobey.
II am going down to my tomb, I"
whispered the archduchess in the ear
OF one of her maids of honor, as she
proceeded To carry out the injunc-
ton laid upon her. The archduchess
now descended unattended and alone
into the vault, where shortly before
the remains OF the princesses of the
house OF f1apsburg. Maria Josephine,
wife of the king of SaXony, had been
inferred beside that of Francis of Lor-
raine. The queen OF SaXony had died
OF smallpox To send the archduchess
TO pray in such place was virtually
to pass sentence Of dest upon her
Accordingly upon the day follow
ing the archduchess herself fell i'll OF
small poX Maria Theresa ordered
masses to be celebrated in all the
churches of Vienna for the recovery
of the awhduchess But as the COT

Josepha to escape the catching and

Ferdinand to leave Vienna for Ma

In these few awful but prophetic
words we have recalled a tragedy az
romantic in its way as that wbe,
Maria Antoinette's head was struck off
by the Suillotine in the DAYS OF tho
French revolution, or when the blood
OF the beautiful and Inflated Mary
queen OF Scots, was lapped by one a,

heredity it runs to appalling extremes
in royal ones.

clever manipulation OF the popular
forces that a peace was maintained
which secured the succession.
Nor can we forget that the practice
OF petty intrigues such as is now at
tributed to him well becomes the en-
peror and his family. For a thou
sand years the house of Hapsburg has
maintained itself by crimes that call
for the condemnation of the deca-
logue. II was by these arts that the
dukes of Austria pushed that insig

an empire. It was a duke OF Austria

Too9 Few Mani

In recent review of the increased
business activities of Baltimore in 1898
&c Sun noted the decline of matrlmo-
nial ventures of that year. There were
fewer marriages than in 1897. The
same phenomenon has impressed the
Rev. l.. c. M. Carol, of Jersey City,
VINO in an address to his congregation
deplored tho small number of mar
rlages. Contributions had in creased
to 200. but there were only SO mar
riagcs. II am afraid" he said that
our yourg women are altogether too
stylish and expect too much. They
want n house and lot and the house
furnished before they will consent to
marry. Their parents did not have all
these things. ! have been told that
some of the young men and young
women in this parish have been keep
ing company for from six to ten years.
That is altogether too long. | hope
the young men will take more courage
on this question of marriage, and
also hope that the young people will
not try to be wen off before making up
their minds to get married" r
Now that business is brisk in Balti-
more and real estate is low, there
ought TO be more transactions in our
matrimonial market instead of fewer.
Possibly the exceptionally high tax
rate in 1897 was the cause of the slack
flow of proposals and acceptancef.
Careful people do not like to buy lots
on a falling real estate market. In
Jersey City marriages, are fewer than
they might be, according to Mr.. Carol
because the girls do not promptly
bring their beaus to the point of;pop-
ping the question. Is this due to their
lack of skill, or to the superior sweets
of courting in comparison with house
keeping? In Baltimore there is no lack
of diplomacy, and housekeeping is an
art in which intending wives excel.
The question is popped as soon as ,he
girls think it timely. But when is it
timely? That is what no fellow can
find out" Father Carol says timel-
ness comes in Jersey City wlt4 the

There Are Others.

Away out in DesMoines, Iowa, they
are having the trial of selecting a
court house site and seem to be divided
as to whether to use the old site or buy
a new one on the river front. The fol-
lowing editorials from DesMoines pa
per shows something of the stuatlon
Here is the meat of the whole ques-
ton: We now have a site that is
wholly unfit for court houses purposes,
but we can sell it for more than twice
the amount necessary to purchase a
splendid site on the river front.
Should we do it?
The court house matter is still one
of dollars and cents; the taxpayers
have it within their power to sell an
undesirable site for sum which will
purchase a suitable site on the river
front and leave 100000 for other pur-
poses.

The experiment in New York City
with automobile trucks will be watched
with interest everywhere They are
so superior to horses in many particu-
lars that if they are successful, when
considered in an economical light, it
really means the disappearance of the
horse from the streets of cities
The effects are far reaching. As a
consumer of agricultural products, the
horse is factor of the first magnitude
Il oats and hay, to say nothing of the
amount of corn consumed, are to be
produced only in a limited way, new
and large acreage becomes available
for wheat, and it is not small one by
any means. OF course, the introduc-
ton of the autotrucl will be slow. L
is a costly machine and will find its
way into general use only at the end Of
a generation. This will give ample
time for the farming community to
adapt itself to new conditions, 1t will

In city like Cincinnati the new

an automobile truck will move at fair
speed, carrying heavy tonnage, and
presumably at a reduced cost, 1t also
takes up less room. an important con-
sideration in narrow streets occupied

the truckman keeps on the track, will
be hurtful to the car tracks. 1t would

the street railroad company and i'm

But it is a little too soon to talk
about the matterAn experiment is in
tersting, but between the experiment
and the successful use of a new thing
in general is a long space, as far as
time is concerned. A few years ago it

To Prevent SPARKLING.

Devices "to prevent sparkling" are
discussed in a recent patent case. One
is a"magnetic blowout" but blowouts
are not only old and well known de-
vices, but they have always aggravat-
ed the trouble. Another remedy is
an "arc-spanner," (pcrhaps spanker
intended) but this Leroic remedy is
rarely more effectual than a blowout.
Still another remedy is "solenoid;" but
even soul annoyed is not proof
against sparkling. In truth, it is a pity
to waste good brains on a hopeless
task There IS more hope cf success
for inventors on the problem of per-
petual motion. However ingenious
their devices, they can never prevent
sparkling ;andl ff5Hf'ey could sueceeJ,

The GubernatoriaI Situation.

Hon. A. f. Mccormick, of Ports
mouth, was in the city Monday on bus
mess, and in a conversation with the
Leader, when asked as to the guberna-
torial situation. said that personally
he was for Daugherty. When the sug-
gestion that Daugherty was a young
man and could wait awhile was offered
he said, yes, hut the fact that he was a
young man appealed strongly to him,
as he liked to see the young men sue
ceed. ,dlle admits tnat being a young
man himself probably has something
10 do with the feeling. In regard to
Judge Nash, he thinks that the Judge
lacks the energy to make n successful
campaign for the nomination. lie
should have been nominated four
years ago, and would have been If he
had shown the energy that is neces-
sary to successful campaign. Mr..
Mccormick says that although Scioto
county is very friendly to Daugherty,
there is possibility of the vote going
to Grosvenor, who he is sure wants the
nomination, although he denies that
he does and refuses to talk of the sit

The Great Strength of Bears.

The strength of grizzly bear is al
most beyond belief, says hunter in
Public Opinion. l have read about the
powerful muscles in the arms of Afri-
can gorillas, but none compared with
those in the arms and shoulders of big
grizzly bears. I,have seen a grizzly
bear with one forepaw shot into use

meat and bone up precipices, and per
form feats of muscle that trained ath-
letes could not do. have seen grizzly
bears carrying the carcasses of pigs
that must have weighed seventy
pounds several miles across a noun
tain side TO their lairs, and | have
heard hunters tell of having seen COWS
knocked down as if by thunderbolt
with one blow of the forepaw of a bear
Three summers ago l spent the season
in the coast mountains, near Hudson's
Bay, and one moonlight night / saw a
big grizzly bear in the act of carrying
a dead COW home to her cub. ! had a
position on the mountain side where |
could see every movement Of the bear
in the sparsely timbered valley below
me. The creature carried the dead COW
in her forepaws for at least three miles
across jagged, sharp rocks ten feet
high, over fallen logs, around the
rocky mountain sides, where even
jackess could not get foothold, to
narrow trail up the steep mountain.
She never stopped to rest a moment,
but went right along. / followed, and
just about a half mile from the bears
lair l laid her low. The heifer weigh
