Talks With the Empress of Austria,


thought his deformity would be him
drance, and made his brother CO. A court
carriage came to fetch him in the morn
ing and brought him back at night. But
Anton Christomanos was medical stu
dent, and the Empress told him directly
she did not believe in medicine, not even
in homeopathy, though that was more
harmless, the doses being SO much
smaller. Anton praised his brother so
highly to the Empress that on the third
day, when she had seen him shrink and
chatter because shower caught them,
she asked him to send his brother to her.
Christomanos was to wait for the EN-
press in a remote part of the park of
Lainz. She stood before him before he
was aware of 1t, a slender, tall woman
in black her head showing in relief
against white silk parasol, black fan
concealing half her face. He addressed
her in Greek embarrassed, of course, be-
cause he had been taken unawares, but
she helped him out of the difficulty by
saying: when the Greek speaks Greek
1t Is like music She tried his walking
powers by taking him right round the
park showing him all the beautiful points
and not dismissing him until three huors
were gone He had been instructed to
walk one step behind her and to read to
her as he walked, feat which he soon
learned to accomplish to her satisfaction.

Yes, l suppose the fair will come out
to the Park, said Mr.. McLaren, but
we cannot decide anything definite until
all the plans for the buildings are laid
before us.
Have l been doing any thinking on
the subject? Well l should say l had
l have looked all over the grounds and
decided that there are only two places
where the fair can be located; that is,
without destroying a great deal of i'm
provement and development that has
already been done. OF course we could
not honestly permit such destruction
because it takes too many years to get
q good growth of timber on this sandy
soil.
ITO put the exposition on the old
Midwinter Fair grounds is out of the
question. They are too small and would
not admit of the elaborate decoration
that is now contemplated.
THAT being the case there are only
two places left. One of these is Just to
the west of Strawberry Hill and the
other is out on the beach of the Pacific
Ocean.
'At the foot of Strawberry Hill there
is a good lay of the land and also the
possibility of lake or lagoon, which
of course we will want. But on that
site we will have to pump fresh water
for quite a distance, which will be con-
siderable expense and trouble.
Il rather incline to putting the fair
out on the ocean beach. This spot has
a number of advantages not apparent
at a glance.
in the first place the weather is
milder out there than it is in any part
of the Park. In the second place the
water for the lake or lagoon could be
obtained from the ocean at very small
cost. There is a depression there that
is only a few inches above sea level
and to keep a lagoon supplied would be
a matter Of very little expense. Be
sides the water will be salt water,
which has more beautiful color than
fresh water and will keep in better con-
dition. The lay Of the land at this
point is also all that can be desired
and no matter from what direction the
fair buildings might be seen they will
have beautiful background. Either

is too early, for nothing has been done
in that direction. What we want now
is money. Once we have that the
other work will go along fast enough
to please anybody
But l have been thinking a good
deal about how this fair is going to
look. 1 know just how 1 want it to
look.
by all means let US stick to the gen.
eral plan of the Worlds Fair for a
general model. There never was any
thing more beautiful than that in the
way of architecture in the history Of
the world. Even now I can still see in
memory that beautiful White City
flashing in the sun. And out here in
California the effect should be a thou
sand times more pleasing.
'Of course there are unlimited pos
sibilities for the development of the
grounds and buildings. Such a chance
has never before occurred in the his
tory of the world.
by all means let the fair be located
out on the ocean beach. That in itself
will be unique enough to carry the
thing through successfully. Just think
of the opportunities.
For my own part I would suggest
that the principal buildings all conform
to the classic style of architecture
There Is nothing more beautiful than
that and you never grow tired seeing
the perfect forms.
II can see it all before me just as
would have 1t. 1 would have the lagoon
of good size and around it on three
sides most perfect and simple classic
building with colonnades and porticos
The other principal buildings should all
be close about and around them we can
have the innumerable smaller structures
of every style of architecture under the
sun. The principal buildings should
be pure white and the others of every
color of the rainbow and all the hues
of science The more the better.
IF it's an engineering possibility,
and think it is. would have a break

He rather liked the position. Being a
timid creature he was often frightened at
the wild boar they met while she merely
took a child's rattle out of her pocket
and frightened the beast away. This was
the trial engagement and lasted until the
Empress went to Ischl for the summer.
In December he was engaged permanent

In the Empress own rooms thick Turk
ish carpets covered the floors. and 1t was
on such carpet that the teacher and the
pupil wandered up and down together for
more than an hour. She told him that he
would have to walk with her daily in
Schonbrunn in all weathers. but that be-
sides she intended utilizing part of the
day which she had hitherto passed in idle
ness and tedium ITO dress my hair -
she said, takes two hours every day.
and while my hair is busy my brain is
idle, and / fear it passes out through the
ends of my hair into the fingers OF my

sides, large excursion steamers might
run out from the foot of Market street
carrying passengers through the Cold
en- Gate and landing them right in front
or the grounds. Just think of what a
unique excursion such trip would be
and what beautiful sight the Expo-
sition buildings will make when seen
from the water. Such sight could not
be duplicated in the world
AS for our exhibits, they will be of
the best. Our new colonies on the west
will most surely contribute things that
have never before been seen in civilt-
Zat1on. These can either be in the main
building or else put in structures spe-
cially erected for them. There is no
end of the possibilities in this direction.
And by all means let us have a good
plalsance. We must have such attrac-
tions as the streets of Cairo, the big
wheel, the tower and anything new
that develops in the meantime. All
these ought to make a picturesque eff
feet that once seen will never be for
gotten.
Another idea that have in mind Is
in regard to the management. / think
that should be put into the hands of an
experienced man at good salary. Not
less than $4,000 year. It is worth that
and we ought to get the right man at
that price. l don't care where we get
him nor who he happens to be, Just SO
we get him and that he makes the
exposition a success.
II also think that by putting the fair
out on the ocean beach a great
permanent benefit will be done the city.
Transportation facilities out in that di-
rection will be perfected. Large hotels
will be built and roads will be cut
through the sand hills on the south.
am sure that a large number of fine
residences would soon be built on the
surrounding hills and that that section
the city.
oh the possibilities are endless, and
the more I think of them the more ideas
occur to me, The exposition is going to
be the greatest event in the history of
San Francisco and it is the duty of
every citizen to help make it glorious
success"

q 7IENNA, Jan. 10. DR.. Con-
" II stantine Christomanos, who for
" II several years was the late EN-
wv press Elizabeths Greek teacher,
lecturer and companion In her
long walks. has published book for
which the material was furnished by the
diary he kept when in Vienna, on board
the imperial yacht and in the island of
Corfu.
The book is brimful of interest, for
never before has any royal lady SO sin
cerely and fully expressed her thoughts.
Of discretion DIR. Christomanos does not
think much: he is merely anxious to
show the Empress to the world as he
knew her, and to dispel the false views
which have been entertained about her.
1t is more than likely that the court of
Vienna will not let the book pass un-
censured, and many think it's publica-
ton will be stopped altogether, for the
Empress sayings were certainly not in
tended for the world.

HNHE Pacific States Fair, to be held
in San Francisco in 1901, is going
to be the greatest exposition of
it's kind ever held.
So say all the members of the
first committee to be appointed and
they are men who know what they are
talking about.
1t is true that the exact plans Of the
great exposition have not yet been de-
cided upon. Everything except the
plan for raising the necessary money is
still in most embryotic condition. But
everybody who has anything to do with
the fair is thinking day and night about
It. And in the minds of all some idea
has taken definite shape.
At present a committee on perma-
nent organization has been effected.
This consists of George A. Newhall as
chairman, and ]. b. Reinstein, Mayor
Phelan, Henry ]. Crocker, c. E. Grun
sky, r. P. Doolan and others as men,
bers.
The financial plans are already before
the proper bodies for consideration and
there is little doubt that they will
be carried through. About $2,OOO,OOO is
needed to assure the success of the un-
dertaking.
The financial plan includes a special
CITY and country tax of 5000. 900, State
appropriation of 100000, and Con-
eressional bounty of $250OOO So far
as known no opposition to this plan
has developed.
OF course it is most likely that the
big fair will be held in Golden Gate
Park. No thoughts of putting it any
where else have been entertained by
the members Of the committee. Il don't
know where else we could put it." said
a member of this committee, and he
but voiced the ideas of the others.
In order to house the exposition in
Golden Gate Park the first man who
will have to be consulted is Superin-
tendent McLaren.

THE thought that anything is going
to interfere with our plans never en-
ters my head feel that we are going
to have the exposition and that 1t Is
going to be the greatest on record.

The Transvaal's note to Great BStt-
ain offering the five-year franchise and
the other concessions was strongly
worded and explained that the copces-
sions were made with a sincere desire
to fully settle all differences, TO put 40
end to strained relations and TO avert
a disastrous war. Therefore, n prompt
answer was requested. The note OF
Conyngham Greene in reply was con-
ciliatory and tantamount to an accept
ance OF the five-year offer. II agreed
to waive the suggested commission Of
inquiry, provided a representative to
be appointed by Sir Alfred Miner
should be given facilities in Pretoria
to make an investigation of the fran
chise question and provided the report
of such representative should prove
satisfactory. Otherwise the Transvaal
government was requested to await
further suggestions from the imperial
government before submitting new
proposals to the volksraad. Mr..

SISTER MORA.

the officers and men.
At Rio de .Janeiro John Cregan dis
