A Sister of Mercy.

The people could not forget that
throughout the empire she had been it's
one-almost its only-Tespeotable fea-
ture-tho sole member of the reigning
family who showed by her conduct that
she had at heart the dignity of the name
Of France, and who by her boundless,
yet unobtruslve, charity and piety had
endesvored to atone in the eyes of the
people for her imperial rank.
Bffecting a friendly separation from
her gifted but somewhat profiigate hus-
band. who visited her once a year af-
terward. and whom she nursed through
bis last illness at Rome, she has lei
ever since 1870 the life of a Sister OF
Mercy in the habiliments of a nun az
her castle of Montecalieri. near Turin.
which she has converted into a hospital
and into a founding asylum. devoting
her existence to it's inmates and vener-
ated from one end of Europe to tho
other as q saint.

his character is likely to develop in
these conditions. William CARROT
Brown, singularly just and clear
headed historical writer, himself a
Southemer, says that under the old
plantation system the master who
chaneed TO be ruler over a small prin-
cipality of slaves sometimes suffered
from this condition. He had no one
to check his natural tendency toward
evil, if it existed. His word was law.
Only the severest sense of duty and
the highest determination to fulfill all
moral obligations can keep a man up
right when he is in a position of un
controlled power; and when a small
body of Europeans or Americans are
set to govern a large area of tropical
country, inhabited by people of diff
terent traditions and moral, intellec-
tual and physical nature from their
rulers, the situation is likely to bring
out unexpected developments all
around. This, and not climate alone.
Is in all likelihood the cause of some
of the delinqueneies Of Americans in
the Philippines and the West Indies.

Ex-countess Russelrs Husband.

With regard to the ex-Countess Rus
sell and her eoachman husband, whom
she married in the belief that he was an
Austrian prince. ! would point out in
reply to a correspondent az Chicago that
the assumption CT a false name BY the
bridegroom or the bride at the celebra-
tion Of their marriage does not ipse
facto invalidate that union, although II
constitutes ground on which a disso-
luton OF the marriage may subsequently
be obtained from the divorce court.
Since the last seventy years. however.
any false statement entered IN a register
OF marriage In England is liable to,Dun-
ishment as perjury. providing, OF course.
the false statement be made willfully
and Intentionally.
Thus, in 1850. the twenty-second Lord
Dunboyne. an Irish peer. was indicted
in the court OF queens bench. in Lon
don, for having on his marriage In 1843.
at St Georges Church. Hanover Square.
London, falsely declared that he was u
widower, and his bride a widow. whereas
they had been previously married in
1892 at the Paddington Parish Church.
and could therefore no longer be so de-
scribed. The second marriage seems TO
have been resorted to by Lord Dun
boyne in consequence of his discovery
OF some informality in the case OF the
ceremony in 1872

Might Have Caused Trouble.

From Denmark l learn, on the most
unimpeachable authority, that when
there last spring the widowed Czarina
was with the utmost dificulty dissuaded
from paying a visit to Helsingfors, on
board her yacht. for the purpose Of pub
licly expressing her disapproval of the
policy Of Senator Plehve with regard to
the grand duchy. Had the Empress Wis
tied Helsingfors, Governor General Bob
rikoff would. of course. have been
obliged 10 come on board the yacht 10
pay his respects: and IL was, | am
assured, her avowed intention to refuse
to receive him. IL was only in defer
ence to the urgent entreaties of the
Emperor that his mother abandoned her
project. But her sentiments are well
known in court circles at Copenhagen
and at St. Petersburg. and IT is gener-
ally believed that the position OF the
minister of the interior. already seri-
ously undermined by the constant oppo-
sition of Count Witte, the minister of
finance, will, after the Cars approach
ing visit TO Copenhagen. be so COM
pletely destroyed as to render the ap-
pointment Of successor necessary.

The death of Representative Robert

for the return to Congress OF the Hon.
James R. Young Ever since Mr..
Young's term expired last March his
friends have been assiduously looking
for a suitable place for him, but have
found nothing which quite meets the
requirements. The Philadelphia dele
cation in Congress and Senator Pen
rose have talked the matter over with
the President. who has promised to
give Mr.. Young the refusal OF the first
paying Consulate where there is a va
cancy, but as yet be consuls holding
remunerative berths have either died
or resigned. and the two minor places
which have been offered TO Mr.. Young
have been declined by him.
Mr.. Y'ung formerly represented one
OF the Philadelphia districts, and Mr..
Foerderer and the Hon. Galusha A.
Grow were elected for several terms
as Congressmen-at-la large for Pennsyl-
vania. Last year, however, the State
was redistricted. and in the general
change Mr.. Foerderer was allotted the
Fourth district, a part of Philadelphia,
and Mr.. Young was noJ provided for.

should have something equally as

there are several OF the faithful In the

PLANTS THAT POISON
CATTLE AND SHEEP
Botanical Expert Investigating Herbs
and Weeds in West.

V. X. Chestnut. OF the botanical di-
vision OF the Agricultural Department.
left Washington yesterday for the West
to continue his Investigations into the
havoc wrought among herds OF cattle
and sheep by poisonous plants. He win
visit Utah Wyoming. Montana, and Ida
no. In Utah and Wyoming his principal
work Will be on the loco weed, while in
Montana and Idaho he will study the
larkspurs and lupins.
Mr.. Chestnut has been engaged in
studying the effects OF these plants for
the last three years and his deductions
and experiments have proved extremely
valuable TO cattle and sheep raisers. He
has found that permanEanate OF potash
is a valuable antidote for the lupins.
but he has not yet found a practical
remedy for the loco weed.
The lupins and some Of the other
plants which cause the deaths OF thou
sands OF cattle are among the most
widely scattered and reliable OF the for
age plants, according to Lyster H. Dew
ey. OF the Department OF Agriculture
but there are times when these same
food plants are deadly poison to sheep
and cattle. II has been Mr. Chestnut s
object 20 find out when and why the
plants develop the poison and in this
he has been TO a large extent success
ful. His observations have been con
veyed to the cattlemen by means of bull
letins and circulars from the depart
ment and by personal interviews. with
the result that they are beginning TO
have a better understanding OF the case
TO act accordingly.

Life in the Tropics.
The Effect of Climatic Conditions Upon
the Moral Fiber.

The Manila Times" commenting
upon the defalcations which have
taken place 10 the Philippines among
Americans holding government posi-
tions of responsibility, says that life
in the tropics seems to have a ten
deney TO weaken the moral fiber.
This opens field for interesting and
important discussion. If it is a fact
that Anglo-Saxons become weak
morally through change of climate,
perhaps we might as well call halt
on the movement for reforming the
people of tropical countries, about
which some folk are so enthusiastic.
II may be that hot weather does
weaken the morals. It certainly does
in some directions. Most Of us can
testify that IT is a good deal easier 10
get angry when the thermometer Is
lowering in the reighborhood of the
century mark than. at other times
Ones tendency to let well enough
alone is also apt to increase as the sun
grows hot, and one feels less strenu-
Gus about attending to duties which
ought to be done. But this does not
necessarily mean that dishonesty is
more common in hot weather than in
cold.
1t Will be remembered that when
Kipling wrote that much-criticised
poem called "The White Mans Bur-
den," he insisted on the necessity Of
sending forth "the best we breed" for
duty among semicivilized tropical
peoples. The probability is that it is
not the hot weather so much as the
unaccustomed responsibility which
proves the ruin Of the American Of
fcial'S honesty. There are many men
who ara honest enough, as men go, in
ordinary business positions, whose in
tegrity viii not stand the test of re-
sponsibility in a place where they are
unchecked and unmatched. We need
not go to the Philippines to prove
that.
1t is dangerous TO place man in a
position in which he is allowed to feel
himself superior being, whose ac-
tions cannot be criticised by those
about him. Whatever weakness is In

Last Days of Empire Recalled.


Princess Clothilde Bonaparte's pres
enee in Paris in connection with the
grave Illness of her aged sisterin-law,
Princess Mathilde, serves to recall not
merely the fact that it is her first visit
to the French capital since the over
throw of the NaDoleonie empire in 1870.
but likewise the characteristic manner
in which she quilted the metropolis on
that occasion.
On that fateful September 4, when af-
ter the battle of Sedan the republic was
proclaimed at Paris. Empress Eugenie
fed in disguise. and owed her escape to
a couple of foreign diplomats. Prince
Metternich and Count Nigra, and to the
American dentist, Thomas Evans. at
whose house she remained concealed un-
til she could make her way secretly to
the seaccast, where she embarked for
England.
On that same day Princess Clothilde.
ordinarily the most simple and unob-
trusive of ladies. caused her open state
carriage TO be brought TO the principal
entrance of her residence at the Palais
Royal, and drove slowly and publicly TO
the Lyons Railroad terminus, at the
other end of Paris, greeted everywhere.
and even in the most revolutionary
quarters of the then so turbulent and
excited city. with the utmost demonstra-
tions of regard and respect, the heads of
well-dressed and poorly garbed men
alike being barred as she rode by in her
open carriage
