LAUGH AT PREMlER'S BlUNDER

Slight Mistake Brings Humiliation to
Count Tisza.
The Hungarian journals are making
merry at the expense of Count Tisza
the premier, who. although liberal
is not free from the foibles of his
caste. One of these is love to appear
at all functions in his uniform as re
serve lieutenant of Hussars. AT re-
cent public funeral since his accession
to office this led him into ludicrous
scrape. A regular captain of Hussars
of tory principles, who happened to be
on duty, spied the premier in his re-
serve uniform and, therefore, in the po-
sition of his subordinate. AS one or
two little details of the uniform had
not been donned the captain peremp,
torily ordered the lieutenant" out OF
the church to dress correctly" and
the premier had no appeal. Home he
rushed to rectify himself, but when
he got back to church the funeral was
