The Secret Of Mark Twain's Success.

Mark Twain's literary hold on the
world is so innocent of all tradition and
logic that the challenge TO explain the
situation is an irresistible one to those
who talk about him or write about him,
though it does not particularly worry
people when they read him. The ger-
tlemen who have made study OF such
matters have said his literary style is
paught; that his stories are i'll con-
structed, according to the esthetic
standards; that bis travel sketches are
inconsequential and scrappy; that bis
historical novels do not create the at
moephere of their time, and so FORTH
yet these same gentlemen do not deny
that he lie great writer. nor do they
pretend to Withstand his fascination
Indeed Mark Twain is curiously fortu-
nate in his ability to hold the attention
of the men who make books and writing
their business. as veil as men who have
no interest Whatever in books or reading
except when the interest is compelled
by such an irresistible person as Mr..
Clemens. This can not be for the mere
reason of Mr.. Twain's humor, although
such inimitabIe humor is platform on
which very varied types and grades OF
intellect may meet congenially. 1t
must be because the keynote Of every
thing Mr.. Clemens writes is his enmity
to sham, hypocricy, and pretense-a
note vibrating the fibers Of manliness
in every reader-ani because, whether
he is a good novel-writer or not, he is
born story teller, with the highest art
OF the typical American raconteur. with
all his intuitive and acquired knowledge
of human nature, bis cool mastery of
climaxes, and his audacity. 1t is his
distinction tha: he is 80 thoroughly the
American. There is no meridian OF bis
country that be does not know, whose
people he does not understand, whose
life he has not lived. He comes to his
subject, be it a European cathedral or
village schoolboy, or an absurd senti-
mentality, with the cool, healthy, vigor-
GUS bearing Of a man born and bred in
the atmosphere o. work and fact, where
trifiing Or falsehood means disaster. 1t
has been remarked more than once how
suggestive of the American eagle are

globe. The gilt pillars were enshroud-
ed in vines and green's and above the
bright circlets of light that crowned
them were placed invisible boxes of
glowing tulips. daffodils and
jonquils. In the second balcony the
same scheme of decoration was carried
out, excepting that in lieu of the stars
were hung electric lights in clusters of
three, covered with soft yellow trans
parent yellow paper and producing
beautiful effect. Back under the bal
comics on the ground and second floors,
wreaths OF green were hung at regular
Intervals linked by loops of vines and
smilax.
Seventy-six additional posts had
been placed on the top balcony, eacn
one surmounted by a glowing bulb of
light. Between them and bordering
the railing of the balcony all the way
around were boxes2of cut and growing
flowers in great profusion of color.
Two endless chains of ,light-stud-
ded with green below the balconies
looped and swung completely around
the immense hall.
Off to the side, on the second bal
cony were the Presidents and Vice
Presidents rooms, the diplomats room
and forty other rooms, appropriately
embellished for public reception and
promenade. The Presidents room was
draped entirely in white and made
beautiful with pink ribbons, or =
chids and green. The other rooms
held to the all pervading yellow, deco
rated with flags, flowers and smilax.
In the diplomatic reception room the
flags of all nations were clustered and
intertwined, and lent brilliant back
ground for the gorgeous uniforms and
regalia of the diplomatic officials.
Alongside the main building had been
built large dining hall, decorated in
red and white and hung with greens.
Tie expense of the decorations en-
tire is set down at about $45,000 The
floral and electric decorations alone
came to nearly $4,000, there being no
less than $4,000 electric lights involved
in the illumination.

AUsTRIA's EMPEROR MAY WED
Paris Paper Says That Francis Josepk
Will Marry a Former
Actress.

In recent issue the ParisASiecle
revives the story of the alleged inn
pending marriage of Emperor Francis
Joseph and Frau Schratt, formerly of
the Burg theater, which was lately
denounced as a canard in Vienna. The
Steele says that everybody in Aus
tria is aware of the affectionate rela-
tions binding Frau Schratt with the
imperial family
A short time ago Vienna learned
with surprise that she was about to
retire and make a journey from Ba-
varia to Rome. Soon afterward it was
announced that she had come
back from Rome, and that the pope
had given her his lasting benediction.
1t now appears, though the affair
is not yet wholly unveiled, that the
pope not only vouchsafed Frau
Schratt, who was accompanied by
Countess de Trani, sister of the late
empress, a paternal reception, but
that he even yielded to pressing in
sistence, supported by diplomatic ac-
tion, and granted nullity to her mar
riage to Baron Kisch, by whom she
has son. SIX
The retirement of Frau Schratt
from the stage and her divorce are
by all accounts preiiminaries to her
marriage with the emperor. His ma
jesty, it appears, has signed brevet
raising her to the rank of nobility
under the title of Countess Hoch-
stenberg, and the publication of this
brevet and the marriage will take
place Immediately.

CURRENT COMMENT

The probabilities seem to favor thu
appointment of William A. Rublee, of
Wisconsin as consul-general at Hong
Kong, to take the place made vacant
by tn edeath of Rounseville Windman.
Mr.. Rublee is a graduate of Yale and
is at present employed as an editorial
writer on the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Colonel Roosevelt is to be initiated
as a member fthe Royal Arcanum in
Brooklyn March Is. 1t is expected to be
the greatest event in Arcanum history.
The late Maurice Thompson, says a
writer in the New York Times was a
frequent attendant at the Center Pres
byterian church at Charlottesville, but
the most he asked of the future, he
embodied in these lines:
So, when fall like some old tree.
And subtle change makes mold of me,
There let earth show a fertile line
Where perfect wild flowers leap and
shine.
