PEN PICTURE OF ELIZABETH.

Mr. Christmamus, the young Greek
who served for several wears as tutor
and travelling companion to the unfor-
tunate Elizabeth of Austria, has been
interviewed by the Athens "Asty."
He says: "She had eyes that saw all
the beauties of nature. She held
Wordsworthian ideas concerning the
influence of the hills, the streams, the
trees and the flowers upon the life
and thoughts OF men. The ceaseless
heaving OF the ocean fascinated her.
Her subjects either did not know her
at all or did not understand her. She
assumed none of the splendor which
the multitude expects from crowned
heads. On this account the Viennese,
accustomed to the traditions of a
magnificent court, did not understand
her. To me, the empress stood on a
mountain height, exalted, clad In
black, lovely, like cypress tree.
THE empress was possessed of
many graces. She worshiped the beau
tiful wherever she found 1t, and she
| introduced 1t into her life. Her en-
thusiasm for poetry and music con-
tributed not little to the creation of
popular impression that she was &C.
centric.
She loved Heine, and sometimes
we made trips to Hamburg. to visit
the aged sister Of the poet. Germany
Is not willing to erect a monument to
Heine, but the empress has set I'm his
statute in the most conspicuous loca-
ton in the park of her palace at
Corfu. The empress had a sort Of pre-
sentiment Of her tragic end. She
said to me one day:
when the desire of life fails man
exists in a sort Of living death. How
and where l shall die is for me a
secondary question. I expect death
any minute, and you, as a philosopher.
ought to do the same
One day, in Madeira, when I was
walking too near the edge Of a preci
pice, she called out to me: DO not
court a poetical death!' Unfortunate
ly, no recent photograph or likeness of
any kind of the empress exists, be-
cause, after she passed the age of 80
years, she did not permit any picture
OF herself to be made She became,
indeed, very sensitive over the idea
that she was growing old, and when
ever she appeared in public, which
was not often, she kept her fan in
front Of her face"

owing to the condition of her navy. The

Great Interest in TOmOrrOw's Foot

Georgetown and the University of Vir-

tie the question of their supremacy that
has stood undetermined for the past half a
dozen years. This year is only the second
season of GeorgetownS return to the grid
iron after an enforced absence of three
years, and tomOrrow's contest is looked for
to decide the long-standing dispute as to
the superiority in foot ball between Vir-
ginia and Georgetown.
Two games were played by these teams
last year. one at Charlottesville and the
other at Georgetown, but each universi-
ty won the game played away from their
own grounds no issue as to the merits of
the two teams resulted The eleyens are
natural rivals and consider their contest
with one another the most important one
of their seasons schedule They appear to
be about evenly matched. although the
local players have not been scored against
nearly so often has Virginia, and seem
to have played with much more con-
sistency. 1t is remembered that Gallaudet
beat the University of Virginia II to ) and
lost to Georgetown by a score of to s.
But the Virginians held the an-star Balti-
more Medical College team down to score
of to two weeks before the latter de-
feated Georgetown II to 5. The showing
of Virginia against the.University of Penn
SylVania and the University of Michigan
was poor. the games being lost by scores
of to 30 and to 3s, respectively. But
these two latter games should prove of
great value to Virginia in having taught
her many valuable lessons and a better
general knowledge of the game than
Georgetown has acquired.

since the popular verdict for sound money
was registered in 1896 There must be no
backward step. The ground gained after
memorable struggle for the overthrow of
rotten money must not be lost Congress-
must be made to feel the pressure of the
business forces of the nation until the gold
standard is actually given the validity of
law. 1t was in pursuance of this policy
that the Illinois bankers adopted unani-
mously the resolution passed by the Amert-
can Bankers Association at Cleveland
which was as follows:
1.-The bankers of the United States most
the United States at it's next session shall
enact law to more flrnaly and uneauivo-
cally establish the gold standard in this
country by providing that the gold dollar
which under existing law is the unit of
value, shall be the standard and measure
of all values in the United States: that all
the obligations of the government and all
paper money, including the circulating
notes of national banks, shall be redeemed
In gold coin. and that the legal tenuer
notes of the United States, when paid into
the treasury, shall not be reissued except
upon the deposit Of an equivalent amount
of gold COIN
The industrial interests of the country
are united in favor of this plan. 1t pos
