BATESVILLE GETTING
 HER REP UP.


 The Sharp County Record says that while at Batesville Monday Press Bray of Maxville lost the neat little sum of $29 through the quickness of some sneak thief. Bray was preparing to enter the show and had one twenty dollar bill in his hand and was receiving change for a ten dollar bill when the thief grabbed the money and quickly darted away into the crowd. Who the thief was could mot be dis covered.

BENJAMIN DUNHAM.

Benjamin Dunham, for many years a resident of this city and estimable citizen, died Monday morning about 12:15 o'clock at his home in Chastain's addition.

Of the exuberant Austrian nature
Viennese aristocracy has a reputa-
ton for fastness and gayety which is
apt to. scandalize conventional Europe,
but, after all, society is not any worse
there than elsewhere, and perhaps in
some instances it is not as bad. The
sincerity and frankness of its craving
for fun and excitement explain many
| things to the wise observer. All IS
| on the surface; there is no concealment.
| It is typical of the Austrian charac-
| ter, for instance, that the amusement
even of common people is never SO
wild that the gentlest ladies dare not
join in it. An aristocratic party will
often attend public masked ball in
cognito-a form Of entertainment not
supposed elsewhere to be patronized
by women Of social position. The
whole of the Viennese world is free,
gay and vivacious to an extent unsus-
pected elsewhere, always ready to en-
/ joy or promote fun in every possible
way, always generous even. to lavish
ness, always entertaining even to as
tonishment, always finding a reason to
enjoy life.
A great Austrian lady may smoke

She considers herself above the

atty, and you can trust her for being
a good woman, good wife and
good mother She is an uncrowned
queen, and can often boast of a de-
scent more proud and ancient than
that of many queens Besides, she
feels responsible for what she does
to her own world, and only to that;
and that world, in which all know
each other as their forefathers did,
will never misunderstood her. 1t is

IlE IuOSl Dll llllldul duU GAClu-
sive society in the world is
that which centres in Vienna
when the great families come
to the Emperor Francis Joseph's Court
from their Austrian manors and Hun
garian castles, their Galician estates
and Istrian villas, their Bohemian pal
aces and country houses in Tyrol.
The foreigner who has visited
Vienna can never forget those glori-
Gus evenings spent on that most fash
ionable of thoroughfares, the Ring
strasse-the lights, the crowds, the
equipages, the beautiful women
clothed in velvets and furs, the sleighs
drawn by prancing thoroughbreds, and
the glittering ice carnivals of a Wen
nese winter
The Social Life
of Vienna
Is Most Exacting
The social season is inaugurated in
January and lasts until Lent, and the
round Of festivities is uninterrupted.
1t is a natural thing for lady of the
Niennese aristocracy to go to bed,
through a dozen weeks consecutively,
at dawn and rise at sunset Only in
this way can she satisfy the demands
which social life makes upon her own
personality, her husbands name and
rank and her family jewels.
No aristocracy was originally more
cosmopolitan than the Viennese, and
yet none is so exclusive. 1t has taken
the best from everywhere, and re-
fuses to admit any but its equals i'll
birth and rank For birth is the one
standard by which people are judged
in Austrian society, the only open
sesame" to its barred gates Those in
side the charmed circle may go so far
as smiling occasionally upon the out
slider. but they will never take him
into their ranks. They may be inter
ested in the American girl, admire her,
ask her to social functions, but they
don't invite her to intimate lunches
and they don't marry her as a rule.
Noble Blood
on Both Sides
Insisted Upon
1t is a tradition that marriage ir
the Austrian aristocracy is a mesalli-
ance unless it brings together sixteen
quarterings on both sides. The con-
tracing parties must be able to boast
of that exclusive passport to Austrian
Court circles-nobility on both sides
of each family through eight unbroker
generations of men. This timehon-
ored system has brought about in The

Sometimes
There Are Exceptions
Here's an Instance

l is uncertain whether a jealous
archduchess really did level her re-
volver few weeks ago in the face of
q well-known young actress, but it is
certain that Archduke Franz Ferdi-
nand insists on bestowing his heart
and hand on the beautiful and accom-
plished, but ineligible, daughter of a
Viennese college professor.
The outcome Of such romances is
pre-ordained at the Court of Vienna
The princeling is allowed to wed &C
cording to his wishes, and never re-
appears as an archduke among his
former equals. But even when a
nobleman not of the blood royal loves
a commoner and marries her, the
scandal and the consequences are
hardly less serious. The girl knows
what awaits her. The gates Of court
society are barred forever to the
woman who is not daughter of the
nobility received at Court The nobil-
ity is afraid that it will lose its pres

land, where rank is mathematically
determined, and hostess knows ex-
actly which elder sons of younger
sons must precede the younger sons
of elder sons. But nobody would ever
forget in Vienna that only princesses
of the blood have right to sit at
the Emperor's supper table; that the
courtesy title Of reigning prince.is ex-
tended to the heads of great smedia-
tized families; that an archdute may
deprive any man whom he chooses of
his promised partner at a dance, if
such be his pleasure; and that it is
always leap year for an Austrian arch
duchess, it being her privilege at a
ball to name the gentleman who is to
be her partner and to get him, even
if he has been saving up that very
dance for months for a certain young
Comtesse. In the very exclusive cir
cles, where it is known months ahead
who will entertain whom, dances are
asked for and promised, and often not
more than one in a season.

How to Speak to
and of the Women
of Royal Blood

The French title of Comtesse is the
courtesy title by which all daughters
of the nobility are designated, when
spoken of. When spoken to, their title
IS strictly adhered to-Furstin, Bar
onin, Grafn The Viennese girl of
society is bright, charmingly frivolous
and gossipy, thoroughly accomplished
and fond of flirting. The dashing
young officers of the crack regiments,
men of noble birth, are her devoted
courtlers and admirers.
Marriages in the aristocracy are gen
orally ascribed to love, but Dan
Cupid is remarkably deferential to the
sixteen quarterings and the future po-
sition of the bride at Court The great
majority of these matches turns out
happily, or at least .decorousiy. A
divorcee in Austrian Court society is
unheard of, and so is the woman who
drags great name in the mire of
public gossip through her behavior.
The Austrian noblewoman, like the
Austrian nobleman, is fond of horses,
sport and hunting; she loves dancing,
and masked parties are the JOY Of her
heart; and she shares with all Aus
.trians, rich and poor, men and women,

Austrian Society Rules
Are Unwritten
AS in England

1t is to the honor of the Viennese
aristocracy that, although mesalli-
ances for love or caprice are frequent,
mesalliances or even marriages for
money are extremely rare, and this
notwithstanding the comparative pow
erty of many aristocratic families and
the great display which is required
by their name and rank. If there is
any relenting by society, it is shown
towards the actress or the, peasants
daughter rather than towards the
daughter of the rich tradesman or the
hnancier, who are most strictly boy
cotted.
The rules Of Austrian society are
mostly unwritten, like those of Eng.

uSC dlu privileges ABOVE the masses
by close alliance with other than its
own kin, and in times when social
differences are apt to become less and
less marked, prejudice is stronger than
ever, and the most strenuous methods
are resorted to.
The Marble Heart
Is the Portion
of the Socially Ambitious
The great Austrian lady will stop
and speak graciously to the poor peas
ant on her estates, but she will un-
mercifully cut the woman who is just
one step below her in the social lad
der, lest that woman should presume
that she is being authorized to climb
This cutting takes most drastic form
in some cases. Viennese society still
remembers with horror or satisfac-
ton, as the case may be, what fol-
lowed the marriage Of well-known
Hungarian magnate, Count Paul Fes-
tetlcs, with the divorced wife of a
Viennese broker
Through some oversight or coinci-
dence of name an invitation was re-
ceived by the Count for himself and
his Countess, and they joined the
ranks of the nobility at the Court ball.
Just before the entrance OF the En-
peror, the guests formed in two lines.
The Count stood with the men, while
the Countess moved to the right with
the ladies. They suddenly drew close
together and left her standing alone,
in the solitary splendor of a magnif-
cent toilette and priceless jewels The
entrance of the Emperor was some
what delayed, and the grand master
of ceremonies requested the unhappy
couple to leave the room Immediately

aristocracy a survival of the fttest, in
point of birth and rank, to mingle with
the high and mighty Hapsburgs.
High and mighty. they are indeed,
and numerous, too, these collatera1s
and cousins and children and nephews
and great-nephews of the Emperor,
and their husbands and wives and
brothers and sisters-in-law, each hold
ing a separate court in state and
splendor, with gentlemen and ladies'
in waiting, equerries and masters of
ceremonies. They all gather around
the old Emperor during state or fam
lily or religious festivities, and each
one of them possesses a string of
names and titles that would puzzle
any honest citizen from a democratic
country. But Viennese aristocracy
and the Viennese society reporters are
trained to it by birth and habit; they
know it all as perfectly as the trainer
knows his stud-book.
But these high and mighty arch
dukes and archduchesses sometimes
descend from their lofty pedestals
and show the public that they are real
flesh and blood and not merely mag
nihcent jewel-studded symbols. An
archduchess insists on marrying the
sportsman or the officer of her choice
or an archduke shocks society by
some mysterious scandal or a fervent
attachment to a charming but ineligi-
bic maiden. In recent years this has
been til case very frequently

ONE SIDED
JUSTICE.
Supreme Court Makes
Another Queer Ruling:
Justice Steele Dis
SentS in.

Denver, Dec. Speoial-The
Supreme court threw out the returns
of precinct of ward 7. where it
had been testified that some ballots
had been substituted.
The court thus deprived the legal
voters in the precinct of their votes
without attempting to go into the
question of determining which were
legal and which were Illegal and
threw out all the votes cast in the
precinct
AS soon as Chief Justice Gabbert
had rendered the opinion of the
court. Justice Steele. in tense voice
which was distinctly heard in every
part of the court room, said: This
conclusion of the court was handed to
me only last night at five O'Clock. L,
therefore had no time to prepare a
dissenting opinion. but l dissent
from the Judgement of the court be-
cause 1t is unwarranted. without
precedent and directly contrary to
the law.
Attorney Hersev asked the court for
permission to file motion1 at two
O'Clock this afternoon TO throw out
the returns in the other four precincts
in which contempt cases had been
filed. 1--WE would like the motion
to come up tor immediate hearing. :"
said Mr.. Hersey. MAY it please
the court Senator Patterson council
need not take the time of the court
in urging reasons for speedy actions.
We will not appear in further pro-
ceedings, since the court has deter
mined to eIsisoerats the returns by
eliminating the entire returns of pre-
cincts IN which its orders have been
disobeyed. The attorneys of our
side can accomplish nothing by our
presence -
The court also denied the applica-
tion of the democrats for writ of
prohibition directed against Judge
Northcutt of LasAnimas county re-
straining him from interfering with
the officers from the county court
in regard to the Primero returns.
This will give Peabody several hun
bred votes.
