WHO think that IL

| deed, there arc Seine WHO think that II
would be a well-nigh impossible task.
The opposition party is strong in Hun
gary, and the fear is widely expressed
| that in case of any controversy over
| the question of succession those IT.
reconcilables may seize the opportuni-
ty either to bring about a complete
| separation of Austria and Hungary or
to transform the present real union OF
the two countries into one that would
be merely personal. Franz Josef sees
this danger clearly, and it is possible
that he has given up his cherished idea
of having his daughter or grandson
succeed him and is willing that the
throne should go to little Karl, his
nephew's son. Since the empress
death he has given much thought to
this subject, and it may be that he
sees more and more the danger of
violating the recognized law of sue
cession. Yet there are many who in
sist that the danger will be much
greater if he does not violate it.
The emperor's popularity is very
great, they point out, in every section
of the empire, and the likelihood is
that his direct descendants-the Arch
duchess Marie Valerie and her SON
would be equally popular. On the
other hand, neither Franz Ferdinand
nor the Archduke Otto is in any
marked degree a persona grata to the
people of Austria or of Hungary, and
there is no reason for believing that
the accession of either to the throne
no
asm. Karl, Archduke Otto's son, is
still a minor, and all that the people
know about him is that he is his
fathers son and that, if he is des-
tined to be the heir, his father will
doubtless act as regent until he at
tains his majority. If Otto were am
bilious this would in some respects be
simple solution of the problem. 1t
is said, however, that he has no de-
sire to be emperor or regent, and that
this is one of the reasons why Franz
Josef is so anxious to have his daugh-
ter or his grandson succeed him. The
aged potentate is satisfied that neither
Franz Ferdinand nor Otto possesses
the qualities necessary to make a
successful ruler, and no one knows
DeIter Cndn ne CndC only CacClul anu
ruler can hold the empire
together. Yet he, too, knows we'll .--at
is strongly in favor of re-
tanning the present law Of succession,
and this may have Influenced him to
select as his heir little Karl. In this
way the present law could be main
tanned in force, the only persons who
lave a prior legal claim to the crown
being the Archduke Otto and Franz
Ferdinand. and it can readily be con-
ceived that the emperor may have
found means to induce them to waive |
their claims.
Moreover, Franz Josef has of late |
years shown himself very much at |
-acher to his daughters and his neph- |
ew's children, and it has long been |
evident that he would like to have one |
Of these as his heir. If he were I'M |
in any way he would almost |
designate his little grandson |
as his successor, but under present |
it Is probable that he |
las selected the Archduke Otto's son.

THE WHITE HOUSE.

10 more toward the enlargement OF
he white house than anything that
las ever happened" remarked a we'll
Known architect to Washington Star
reporter. 1T may also bring about a
lew executive mansion for residence
mansion, though the present white
| house will probably be used as the Of
| icial residence of the president and
! 'or all state functions. 1t WILL in the
end, however, be enlarged. l have
| ,onversed with several senators who
are members of the committee on
public buildings and grounds and find
| hat they are thoroughly convinced
hat such a separation should take
place, as it would tend to make the
family life of the president much more
agreeable. The difficulty in the case
that, with the single exception of
President Grant, no president has ever
officially written a single word in favor
If new executive mansion, and even
Grant was not as enthusiastic on the
subject as was desired. Gen. Garfield
would have strongly Endorsed the
proposition officially had he lived long
enough, though President Hayes was
out lukewarm on the subject. He ia
1ored the separation of the official res
dence from the private residence, pre-
terrlng that the latter should be some
where in the suburbs, but he never put
ais ideas into writing President Ar
thur never made any expression on
the matter, while President Cleveland
openly opposed the plan and settled
the question SO far as he was concern
ed by purchasing a private residence
one of his terms and leasing one the
last term. Mrs Harrison was, on the
other hand, enthusiastically in favor
Of an enlargement of the white house,
though she did not concur in the plan
Of separating the official from the pri-
vate residence, except so far as separ-
at1ng them in the same building. Gen.
Harrison, however, did not go so far
as she did, though he did not make
any expression against her ideas.
President Mckinley, I am told, thinks
as Mrs. Harrison did, that the build
Ing should be enlarged, and as prog
ress is made upon the new depart
ment of justice building his impress
sions are likely to grow, so that he
will in the end officially recommend
the enlargement. Should he do so,
that will bring up the entire question
and l would not be surprised if some
time in the near future, speaking in
a general way, not only the enlarge
ment will be made, but, in addition,
there will be a separate private resi-
dence provided for. The only thing
that can defeat the latter proposition
is that there may be a wrangle about
where the private residence shall be
located, for, of course, the various in
terests that will be effected will have
considerable influence one way and an
other. The first thing that will be
done, though, will be the enlargement
That is as sure as anything can be,
and, as I have said before, the new pal
ace of justice will emphasize the adj
vantages and absolute necessity of
it."

TEMPERANCE HER LIFE WORK,

1t is doubtful if even the late
Frances Willard travelled SO many
hundreds of thousands of miles or adj
dressed more audiences than have been
addressed by Mrs. Mary H. Hunt dur
ing the eighteen years in which she
has been engaged in the work of Sc
curing compulsory temperance educa-
ton laws in the United States. Mrs.
Hunt is national and international SUI
perintendent of the department of sci
entifc temperance instruction and life
director of the National Educational
association. Through her persistent
and untiring efforts, every state-ex-
cepting Utah, Arkansas, Virginia and
Georgia-has on its statute book laws
regarding scientific temperance ed
ucation in the public schools.
Mrs. Hunt, after months of effort, Sc
cured the passage of a national tenn
perance education law for schools I'M
der federal control. Mrs. Hunt has
also secured the passage of these laws
in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
She has addressed the legislatures OF
nearly every state and territory in the
Union, being an eloquent and forceful

FEAsT on TABERNAcLEs.

The Jewish Feast of Tabernacles
(Succoth), which marks the nd Of the
harvest season and commentaries the
forty years sojourn of the children Of
Israel in the desert after their exodus
from Egypt, will begin at sunset this
evening. The festival continues for one
week, and its beginning and ending are
celebrated by special services in the
synagogues. In ancient times, when
the -Israelites resided in Palestine, pill
grimages were made to the temple at
Jerusalem on this holiday. A pictur-
esque feature of the observance Of the
Succoth holidays is the erection OF
booths or tabernacles, called "Succah,
on the grounds adjoining the syna-
gogues. These booths are decorated
with Autumn fruits and cereals.

HIS EXPERIENCE IN THE KLON-

Pennsgrove, N. j., Sept. 1S.-Dr Will
liam Zelsel, who has just returned from
Alaska, has some interesting accounts
OF his experience. He made the trip for
his health, going as the guest Of the
manager of an oil company. The party
took five tons of provisions, but only
about one-half of which was used. The
party explored the top of Mt. Ma
koshin, 1000 miles from Seattle. The
country seemed to be of volcanic orr
gin, but most of the volcanoes were ex-
tinct. The meals for the party were
cooked over fissure with volcanic
heat. Great quantities of sulphur were
found and were mined in paying bulks-
This Alaska sulphur is superior to that
found elsewhere, and the company will
reap good harvest.
On the homeward journey several
Klondikers returned. Only five out OF
$50 had from $4,000 to $4,000 Several
had less and poor health.

COUNCIL WILL GIVE A DE-
CIsION IN THE TROLLEY FIGHT
TONIGHT.
The trolley hearing was the scene Of
a lively encounter between Mr.. Haw-
kins and Attorney-G General White, at
Dover, Friday night. The latter de-
nounced the proposition Of the Haw-
kins company to pave the streets Of
Dover and do many other things, stat
ing that the company had no charter,
as it had expired, and also had no capt.
tai.
This made Mr.. Hawkins indignant,
and he bitterly denounced Mr.. White.
He said: This is not the attorney gem
eral OF Delaware. but Bob White. And
he is risking his reputation, his money
and his hopes (meaning Mr.. Whites
senatorial aspirations) in the company
of a lot of Philadelphians--Jim Spru-
ance and his ilk. Does it seem posi-.
BILE that the mantle Of Willard Sauls-
bury, George Gray and our beloved
Chief Justice Lore, all Of whom held
this high office, could be so dragged
in the mire for mercenary reasons and
political preferment?"
Mr. Hawkins words had the effect OF
making the Council stay action until
tonight. when it is expected a deci-
sion will be given.
