And so she will, probably, for she has
no illnesses as yet, is active and fond of
all outdoor exercises. Eugene has
been so much on the wa fer that she has
acquired the sailors rudy color, and
much of her strength in old age is due
to her love for bracing sea air. People

Empress Eugene has been pretty

to South Africa. More than all else,
though, she has had hand in shap-

dazzling heights of power by her mar

Montijo, of noble, but not royal, birth,
became the most courted and the most
influential woman in Europe. She had

be member of the firm in 1875. Four
years later he succeeded with other
junior partners to the business, which
was finally liquidated in 1sss.
In the meantime Mr.. Low had been
active in public life. He became con-
spicuous in politics and charitable
work. In 1876 he was volunteer Wis
itor of the poor. In 1878 he organized
and became president of the first bu-
reau of charities. He affiliated with
the republican organization in his
ward. In 1882 Mr.. Low was elected
mayor of Brooklyn for two-year
term. In 1884 he was reelected.
On October 7, 1889, less than 90 years
from the time of his graduation from
the institution, Mr.. Low was elected
president of Columbia. He did much
for the university. He found time for
municipal affairs, too. He was mem
ber of the rapid transit commission
and the Greater New York charter
commission. Four years ago Presi-
dent Low was candidate for mayor
of New York, but was defeated by Rob-
ert Van Wyck. Tammany's candidate.
In politics New York's new mayor
has pursued an Independent course.
In 1884 it was charged that he voted
for Cleveland. This charge has been
denied. President Low, however, was
in sympathy with many of Cleveland's
views, and in 1883 he openly opposed
the republican national ticket. In
1896 and in 1900 he supported McKin-
