A Negro Preacher Unable to Rent .
 Suitable House for His Family. Watsrtown, N. r, special to, the New
 York Sun.
 The Rev. J. Douglass Jackson. a negro preacher. who came here on July from Richfield Springs, to assume charge Of the African Methodist Episccpal Zion Church, has been unable to find a homo for himself and family. He says that ha has made many efforts to secure a home and on several occasions places have ai- most been secured through white direc- tors of the church. but as soon as thoss about to lease a house learn, of the color of the prospective tenant ha is turned down. Now and then a place e offered him in block of questionable reputation. but this he refuses to accept. as he says 1t is such places as these that he proposes to break ups s s}5s-.s,ssF-.ss
 Jackson. has a wife here with him ana sn eighteen-year-oid, daughter he is anx- Efous to bring here as soon &s he can rent q house. He is about 70 years of age and Is having large congregations of coIored people in his church. which is in the tsn- derioin district, and which will be moved as soon as the directors can raise the ne- cessary funds.
 Today a brigadier general who served in the civil war made the announcement, on learning of the colored mans plight. that while he possessed only limited means. he would start subscription 10 purchase a house for this or any eoiored preacher who might succeed him. He ts willing to subscribe $50 and within a few days a home for Jackson may be pur~ chased. It is thought probable that ths deal will have to be made quietly, and by white people. so great Is the prejudice against the negro race hero.

PITIFUL FATE
OF MAxIMILIAN's WIDOW LONG
 SECLUDED.
Holds Sway over Mock Court-Be- came Insane After Napoleon III Refused to Aid in Saving
 Mexico's Throne.

A Cablegram from Brussels states that Carlotta, the unhappy widow of the ill- fated Emperor Maximilian of Mexico. Is dying.
 She still holds a mock court daily in the Chateau de Bonchat. near Brussels. fancying herself yet Empress of Mexico. for she ,has been bereft of reason for brain, the attendants affect the graces of a court circle and pretend that she presides over their entertainments and household affairs.
 There are those who claim that the ex-Empress, who is the only sister of King Leopold of Belgium, was poisoned by the deadly '1oco root" secretly in- troduced into her food before she left Mexico in 1866 to seek the aid of Napol- con III, in her husbands behalf after the United States had warned the foreign troops to leave Mexico. which they had invaded during our civil war, setting up as Emperor Maximilian. brother of Em- . peror Francis Joseph of Austria. The poison of this root acts upon the brain and produces insanity.
 A Bride at Seventeen.
 Carlotta was a girl of seventeen when she became Maximilian's bride in 1857. It was a love match. and the ten years of their welded life were continuous honeymoon. Maximilian was overthrown. captured, led out behind a hill at day. break one morning. and just as the sun peeped over the horizon he fell dead. his heart pierced by bullets fired by the "ex- ecution guard"
 Before the capture of the Emperor the Empress had volunteered to seek the court of the willy Napoleon III. and she had pleaded not only with him to aid her husband, but with the Pope of Rome. Her prayers were unanswered. Worried, harrassed by the cold rebuff of Napoleon, who had been the cause, the chief fnsti- gator of the plot that placed Maximilian on the throne of Mexico, when Mexico desired only to continue as republic, the Empress's mind gave way. The first symptoms of mental Arrangement were manifested on the evening of the day on which she had her last interview with Napoleon, when she once more begged him to send assistance to her husband.
 sCrazed by Failure.
 With the iron rihg of his "No!" clang- ing in her ears, the bitterly disappointed Empress returned to her hotel. and from that time has been maniac.
 Her mania Is harmless. and by humor- ing her belief that she is still Empress and in a palace in Mexico. her attend ants find her very easy to manage.
 With the limited funds allower her by her family she finds much fault because ''the palace," as she styles the castle that is really her prison. is not kept up in better style.
 King Leopold seldom sees her. It Is public scandal that he dissipates his sis- ter's large fortune in order to gratify his own inordinate love for luxury and ex- travagance.
 The most pathetic feature of Empress Carlottas fate Is her hallucination that her husband Is alive. She talks of him frequently and often begs her courtiers to send her husband to her at once.
 Why does he stay away from me so long?" she asks, pitifuily.

Tall Women and Girls.

Never has the increase of feminine inches been more apparent than this sea- son. In the parks and streets and in the resorts of feminine clubland tall women and girls have been the order of the day-remarkably tall girls. too, carrying their inches as a rule gracefully and able very often to lock down on the member of the sterner sex accompanying them. In the matter of height men will before very long have to look to their laurels.

 San Juan.-Dr. John Clayton Clifford. of the Bureau of Forestry at Washing. ton. and formerly of Cornell University, will sail this week for the United States to report on his Investigations in the LuQuillo reservation. near the east coast of Porto Rico.
 Dr. Clifford is averse to talking for pub- lication until he has made his official re- port. but from those who accompanied him on some of his trips it Is known that his researches have been full Of i'm terest He will carry with him a hun dred photographs, numerous specimens of vegetation and a story worth telling.
 He crossed Fl Yunque range at It's highest point, and for days was in prim- eval forests. Where he went 1t is prob able that no white men, have gone since the days of the Spanish explorers of foud centuries ago The peons who ac- companied him frequently cut with their machetes a pathway through tropical growths as dense as any in South Amer ica. s
 In these copses the stiffness of death prevailed, and. indeed. throughout the entire reservation of 12.0o0N acres scarcely bird was seen, and there was no sign of animal life. s..ss.. ,,s.tt F

 Tn other parts of the preserve Dr. Gif- ford found beartifuf streams, which would afford valuable power, tumbiine and foaming over sheer precipices hun dreds of feet high. Where some of these streams reachedsa comparatively level or emptied into litle basins he discovered natives banning gold, from which. by the crudest methods, they netted from eighty cents to a dollar @ day each.

In the rural districts 1t is often moulded into candles in crude fashion, the gum being pressed about a fibre wick. Dr. Clifford has forwarded twenty-five pounds of this gum to Washington for analysis to learn if 1t possesses any considerable commercial value.
 All the well-known native fruits. plants and trees were found in great abund- ance, but at present the piece Is so inac- cessible that nothing can be brought to the seaboard except at great expense. There are no trails. and most of the jour- neying must be done on foot.
 Dr. Gifford's wife was with him on many of his trips. and proved to be an excellent pioneer. He also had with him for several days Prof. O. E. Barrett. the entomologist and botanist of the United States Agricultural Station at Maya guez, Porto Rico. Prof. Barrett procured numerous botanical specimens which he admits are "puzzlers," and which he Is now trying to class. He is enthusiastic over the beauties of the reservation. and will doubtless make a technical report to add to that of Dr. Clifford.

stream until the Big Horn was
