quent of late at Vienna. in this in
stance the mourning will extend to
the Italian royal family, as Archduke
ERNEST was an uncle OF King HumOert.
and found himself fighting face to face
with his brother-in-laW, the late Vic
tor Emmanuel at the battle of No
Varra barely three years after the day
on which he had acted as best man at
the kings wedding. The archduke
greatly distinguished himself during
that campaign, but was forced to with
| draw from active service in conse-
quence of the frequency of attacks of
epilepsy, the hereditary curse of the
imperial house of Austria. From that
time forth he lived almost entirely ON
his estates, unmarried and alone. He
| rarely visited Vienna, and it was thei
only that he wore his uniform, his usual
costume consisting of a velveteen coat,
corduroy riding breaches, and CATERS.
He was very tall and striking looking
man, the nobility of his appearance be-
ing increased by his long white mus
tache and beard. Like his other
brothers, the Archdukes Sigismund
and Leopold, his fortune, which is
large, will go in it's entirety to his
niece, the morganatic daughter of his
brother, Archduke Henry.
Archduke Henry, it may be remem-
bered, married, without the emperor's |
permission, a very beautiful actress, |
named Leopoldine Hoffman of the |
Gfatz theater. For many years the |
couple lived in exile in Switzerland.
During the course of her wanderings
the Empress Elizabeth made their ac-
quaintance, and it was due to her in
tervention that the archduke was par
i |
the title of Baroness Waldeck upon the
wife. Ultimately the emperor invited
them to Vienna, with their only daugh-
ter, a very beautiful girl some II years
of age. They had not been in the me-
tropolis more than twenty-four hours
before husband and wife both fell i'll,
and expired within day of each other.
There was something SO peculiarly pa
thetic about this two-fold death that
it appealed to all the members of the
imperial family, in particular to the
surviving brothers of Archduke Henry
and to the emperor and empress. The
emperor conferred upon the girl the !
title of countess of Waldeck in her own
right, and inasmuch as she could not ,
by reason of her morganatic birth, in r
herit her fathers estates, he settled
large sum of money upon her, while
the enormously wealthy Archduke I
Rainer who is now the only surviving G
brother Of Archduke Henry, adopted I
the girl as his own daughter. AS he s
las no children of his own, she will Ill f
inherit all his vast riches and
likewise his superb palace at Vienna. i
Archduke Rainer's father was the L
last Austrian viceroy of Lombardy, and i
his mother was a princess of the now I
house of Italy, SO that the y
archduke is doubly related to the lat
ter, his sister having been the mother
Of King Humbert.
