EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA
BANISHEsS HIS BROTHER

VIENNA, Feb. 2O.-Archduke LU6-
wig, the EmperOr's brother, and Arch
duke Otto, his nephew. have been tenn
porarily banished by the Emperor. who
is fncensed at a scandal in which his
brother was implicated. He drove 10
the Archduke's palace and reprimanded
him. Ludwig was engaged in a brawl
in a public bath, subsequent police
court proceedings proving the Arch
duke was knocked down by a youth.
The latter was accused Of the assault
and acquitted.
The Emperor banished his brother to
Meran, compelling him to resign several
Offices. The Arehduke's palace is for
sale, and obviously. his banishment is
for a long term. Archduke Otto has
gone to Ragusca nominally for his
health. but it is reported his devotion
TO an actress has aroused the EmperOr's
ire and made him unwelcome at court.
The cOurtship Of Archduke Ferdinand
Carl. who was infatuated with Pro-
fessor Czuber's daughter. has been in
terrupted by the Emperor. The Arch
duke left Prague to-day for a long tour
abroad. Society is wondering whether
the Archduke ultimately will keep his
pledge to marry Fraulein Czuber.

ARE AMERICANS MORE
ARTISTIC THAN ENGLISH

LONDON, Feb. 1s.-"Are Americans
artistic?" is the heading which at
tracts the eye in an evening paper to-
day, the query being prompted by the
eagerness Of American buyers to Sc
cure valuable books and manuscripts
from this country, and the prodigious
number of such treasures which in late
years have found a home in the United
States.
Various explanations, IL is said, are
found in this particular sign Of the
times. Many people frankly assert
that the wealthy American looks upon
a rare book in the light of a good in
vestment for his money. Others ac-
cuse him of buying it because it is ex-
pensive.
A representative Of a famous firm
of antique book sellers which has sent
across the Atlantic more rare vol
umes than anyL ody else. has suggest
ed a far different reason THE sim
pie fact of the matter" he said, is
that Americans are more artistic than
the English. They are fonder of beau
tiful things and are prepared to pay
for them Wien an Englishman
grows rich what he first thinks about
buying is an estate and keeping race
horses. The rich American likes to
gather together a collection of beauti-
full books, manuscripts"
