Queen Alexandra received her on the
Victoria and Albert a few weeks ago.
Eugene was sailing in North sea wa
tiers at the time of the coronation and
so did not see his majesty crowned.
EugeEie has one odd expectation. She
is said to believe firmly that she will
live to be at least Il hundred years old.
81 have nothing to live for" the sad
faced woman of seventy-four says;
"hence know shall just keep on liv-
ing"
She has no illnesses as yet, is active
and fond of all outdoor exercises. She
has been SO much ON the water that
she has acquired the sailors ruddy col
or, and much of her strength in old
age is due to her love for the bracing
sea air
The empress lived for many years
at Chiselhurst, England, where her
husband died but recently she has
moved to Marlborough, farther inland.
Three rooms in the house are kept as
shrines. Relics of the first Napoleon
fill one, belongings of her husband are
in another, and in the third are the
playthings of her son, the prince impe-
rial, who was killed by Zulus in South
Africa.
A life Of contrasts, indeed, is that of
Eugene, empress of the French. She
has seen all that is brilliant in the
court life of FranV and has known
what it means to be n childless widow,
remembered occasionally. but more
frequently forgotten. The mother of
the empress must herself have been
amazed ut her daughters career. She
the mother. was the child of an Irish
man who settled in Spain and dealt in
wine A Spanish duke came along and
married Miss Marie kirkpatrick, the
wine merchants daughter, and it was
the child of this marriage, the beauti-
full Eugene, who completely infatu-
ated Napoleon III.

before their kindred in America the
present condition and future prospects
of the Irish cause
The United Irish League of America
was formed at Il meeting Of represent
alive lrishmen from most of the states
of the Union held in New York last
December and in the brief space of
time that has since elapsed has grown
amazingly.
The general principles of the organi.
cation may be summed up in the decla
ration of Parnell and Davitt a score of
years ago, ireland for the Irish, and
the land for the people"
The United Irish league is strug
Cling to prevent the depopulation of
Ireland as well as endeayoring to root
the people in the soil. In addition to
complete national self government for
the people of Ireland and the abolition
Of landlordism by system of compul-
sorry purchase, the league aims ut put
ting an end to periodic famine in the
western portion of Ireland and com
pelling the appropriation to Irish uses
of the $lJ,000,000 or upward now being
taken out of Ireland in overtaXatioa,
according to the unanimous report of a
British royal commission.
The redistribution of the grazing
ranches of Connaught and dividing
them up among the people of the poor
er districts. the reinstatement Of the
tenants uniustly eyicted by their land
lords. complete educational equality
for all the irish people and the exten-
sion of the system for housing agrlcul-
tural and other laborers are among
other blanks In the league platform.
The preservation and cultivation of the
Gaelic tongue are also among the OBJ
jects of the organization.
So strong has the United Irish league
become in Ireland that today 1t exer'
cises as much power throughout the
country MS was ever exercised by the
old Land league. The English govern
ment has become SO impressed by this
fact that it has proclaimed half the
country under the coercion act, and the
arrest of members of parliament and
other popular leaders is of almost daily
occurrence.
The landlords have formed a huge
trust, backed by capital of 100000,
for the purpose of fighting the league,
and they have already forced the gov
eminent to coercion and repression.
Under these circumstances the coming
convention Of the league in Boston is
of more than ordinary interest.

a mile long and was rendered neces-
sary by the formation of the land.
Manhattan valley is deep depression
between two hills. both of which are
tunneled. and the elevated viaduct con
meets the two. being about seventy feet
high at its highest point.
SO far but one contractor has been
killed in the tunnel. This was Ira y.
Shafer, who had the contract for the
Park avenue section. He was killed 10y
a fall of rock while inspecting the
work 1t was in this section that eX-
ploding dynamite wrought great dis
aster, wrecking the Murray Hill hotel
and killing several guests.
The Park avenue section down to the
present has been the most unlucky of
any. 1t was there that several build
ings collapsed by reason of their foun-
dations having been undermined by
the rock on which they were built
sliding into the tunnel excavation. The
money damage resulting from this was
very heavy.
The work of building the tunnel is
now at its high water mark of activ-
ity. Ten thousand men are employed,
of whom one-half are laborers and the
remainder skilled workmen. Money is
paid out at the rate of $l,2jO,0OO
month. The work cannot continue at
this rate for very many months, as
several sections will be completed be-
fore midwinter.
In other directions besides the actual
building of the tunnel work is being
rushed The old buildings on the site
of the power house. bounded by Elev-
enth and Twelfth avenues, Eighty
eighth and Eighty-ninth streets, have
been razed, and the foundations of the
great structure are being laid. Cars
have been ordered for the underground
railroad, and the first of them have
been delivered Thousands of skilled
workers are manufacturing the equip
mentS for the line.

Roman Architecture.

In architecture the Romans initiated
the Creeks and initiated them without
approaching the simplicity of gran
deur. They introduced circles and seq
mcnts of circles in place Of the simple,
rcstful lines %coursing horizontally
around the building. They raised col.
umns which supported nothing simply
for the sake Of ornament; the dome be-
hind the pcdiment took away it's sig
nifcance and removed from it the idea
Of pressure; they adopted the senior
cular arch, which broke the entabla-
ture and the idea Of solidity and thus
destroyed the fundamental idea Of the
Greek simplicity without substituting
any Of their own.
When the Roman style was removed
to Constantinople, the Byzantines rev.
eled in arch and cupola, but without
discerning the real object Of the arch.
The circular arch distributes the weight
of the wall. They refused it the prop
er office, made it an ornament and COD
cealed the real support Of the weight;

A Japanese Hero.

recall to mind a story Of an officer
In the Japanese emperor's army which
was besieging a fortress. Its number
wat small and a relieving army was
coming up. 1t was of immense mo-
ment that they should know how long
the fortress could hold out. If it must
capitulate for want Of supplies within
a week they could stay and win the
campaign for the emperor. A young
japanese nobleman volunteered to go
into the fortress and ascertain how
long it could hold out. He disguised
himself, and in passing learned that it
had food and water for only two days
more.
AS he was going out with this pre-
cious information he was detected, and
the enemy said to him, "We are going
to cruelty you, but we will let you of
on one condition-that you 60 to the
wall and tell your people that we have
supplies for a week."
He said, Every WE'LL" and went to
the wall. His wife and children In the
besiegers' camp saw him, his friends
were there also, and he held up both
his hands and said to them: "There
are supplies for but two days. Con-
tinue the siege and you will take the
place."
He died by a hundred spear points,
but he had done his duty to his gen.
eral.-Sir Edward Arnold.
