DUAL EMPIRES WOES
HUNGARIANs AND AusTRIANs
HAVE LITTLE IN COMMON.
Former Complain They Are Ruled as
a Conquered Country by the Gov
eminent of Which Emperor Franz
Joseph Is the Head.

Hungary, at present, does not seek
independence from Austria. 1t wants
separate Hungarian army. 1t de-
mands that the Magyar tongue shall
be the language Of command.
Ultimately the intention Is to
maintain mere alliance between the
two countries, dissolving the CONNER
cial partnership.
The link between the two would
then consist only of the emperor
kings personal sovereignty.
Emperor Franz Joseph has stead
tasty resisted all demands curtailing
Austrian power
The result is deadlock which
threatens war Of secession.
Should Hungary revolt 1t is prob
able Bohemia will follow.
A breaking out Of the Austrian en-
pire would probably throw the old
duchy of Austria into the German en-
pire.
Franz Joseph is emperor of Austria
and king of Hungary, commanding
the common army.
Naval and military matters, foreign
affairs. customs and currency are sup
posed to be administered in common
This dual system was adopted by
the ausglerch (agreements) of 1867.
The ministers are practically the
servants of the emperor, though in
law they are responsible to the parlia-
ment.
Partisan strife has frequently allow
ed the emperor to block all legisla-
ton for months at time, thus afford
ing him opportunities to make laws
and issue DEGREES as he pleased.
To all intents and purposes, owing
to the manipulations of the emperor
and his minister servants, Hungary is
now a country without any govern
ment recognized by the people.
At present the army, while recruit
ed among Hungarians, is commanded
mainly by Austrians, commanded In
German, and the colors are Austrian.

TROUBLES OF BUSINESS LIFE
Mems Struggles Underestimate by
Women, Says a Writer.


The average woman seldom hears
anything about the appalling cannibal-
ism of the struggle for life and money.
From the cradle to the grave she is
much In the position Of man who has
fixed and certain income over and
beyond that he acquires by his own
efforts. The actual battle for suprem-
acy never comes directly home to her.
Women are prone to underestimate
the terrors of this homicidal strife.
They look upon man in business as a
being who achieves large profits from
small exertions and entirely escapes
the dull, plodding routine of house
keeping and children rearing that they
must face. AS matter Of fact, the
average man, whether he be a bank
president or day laborer, spends
nine-tenths Of his time performing
drudgery of the most depressing sort
1t is rare moment when he is not
compelled to do something that he
doesn't want to do. It Is moment
rarer still when he does not find him.

The Reporter as a Soldier.

An item in Kansas City paper tells
Of the death Of a reporter in Wichita
through injuries contracted in the per.
Torrance of his reportorial duties.
The reporter was sent out at late
hour Of the night to cover" suicide
and fell over pile of bricks in dark
alley, injuring himself internally and
dying from the effects of the fall few
days later. This man died at his post
of duty as truly as the fireman or po-
liceman who loses his life in any great
catastrophe that brings his duties into
play. And the death Of this young
man ought to impress upon the news
paper reading world the sacrifice and
often the heroism that the news gath
erers on the daily papers are capable
Of. The reporter is a soldier who
never disobeys a call to duty, even
though 1t Is to face death in battle
or enter burning building or night
run on a locomotive or to enter den
of thieves in order to give his paper
and its readers the news Denver

EMPTY LIFE OF THE IDLE RICH.
Why Many Men Of Wealth Find no
Pleasure In Existence.

TtCdSuiS w EHiSeCftSSs
The suicide of W. r. Iravers, the
New York millionaire. was the out
come of one of the defective conditions
of American life-the general failure
of members of the second generation
of wealthy families to adjust them
selves to their surroundings. II the
sons of wealthy parents happen to
have taste for business they can get
on comfortably, as the Vanderbilts,
for instance, have shown. But If they
are SO unfortunate as to dislike COM
mercial life their lot is apt to be
wretched. There is no lack of oppor-
tunity outside of business for the sons
of millionaires. But, unhappily, many
Of them have been allowed to grow up
without acquiring rational knowl-
edge of or interests in public life, liter
ature, painting or any of the arts and
sciences. So they are practically help
less and drift about aimlessly in a
quest for the pleasure that constantly
eludes them. Such overt tragedies as
that Of William R. Travers are rare.
But there are innumerable bankrupt
cies of character of which the world
hears nothing and that are the direct
outcome of the failure of well-to-do
men and women to find a rational
basis for living.-Kansas City Star.
