Reed at Jekyl Island, Ga where the
latter Is staying and where the former

no desire at Washington for personal

continue to ignore him at Jekyl. At

ANXIOUS to secure a direct heir tc
the Austro- Hungarian throne, 1t Is said
that Emperor Joseph is casting wistful
eyes towards Princess Marie Isabel de
France, sister of the Due de Orleans,
who is pretty little damsel barely 81,
and it is said that the marriage is to
occur after the conventional period Of
mourning for his wife, Empress Eliza

land. Such method of transmitting
the power OF government is repulsive
to Americans and those who believe in
republican form of choosing rulers, and
as the Louisville Times says, the spec
tacle of the doddering old emperor
chafing under the restraint that con-
vention puts on him and waiting to wed
a young bride. is positively indecent.
