ONCE WAS EMPRESS,
But now is RECLUsE
Empress Eugene at 81 Years Of
Age, Heeds Not the
World.

London, June 9.-It is difficult to
believe that the beautiful Empress Eu-
genie has now entered her eighty hrst
year. [ always remember the admira-
tion with which my father spoke Of her
when she came to England as the en-
press of the French. in the early years
of Queen Victoria S reign, the beauti-
full Andalusian type, with the golden
hair, the long oval eyes and the straight
her in 1852 she wrote him letter
which takes its place among historical
documents.
81 do not marry you," she said,
"dazzled by the prospect Of crown
and a throne If you marry into a
royal family, you may, find yourse7lf
abandoned as your uncle was In the
hour Of defeat On the other hand,
give you my pledge that will follow
you without diplomacy and without re-
grets.
ssI was not born near throne, and
I shall not weep to die severed from
throne, if the. game Of revolution goes
against you. 3
Eighteen years after those words
were written, the woman who had been
the central fguresof the brilliant court
of the second empire fed under the
care Of DR.. Evans, an American dentist,
in the refuge Of Sir John Burg{oyne' g
her asylum in England, and now she
lives the quiet life Of devout recluse,
praying often by the tomb Of her hus-
band and her son, and with little inter
est in the affairs Of this world save
when during the last few weeks she
has rejoiced at the happiness of Prin-
cess Ena and the king Of Spain.

New York Sun.
The girls of Barnard college settled
many q long-standing grievance against
the faculty Wednesday when they
staged Barnardesia, musical farce
by Blanche Marks and Edith Somborn,
at the Brinckerhof theater in the col
lege.
No attempt was made to construct a
complicated plot. The cast had its lit
tie business to attend to, and beyond
that the choruses were depended upon
to make the show interesting.
Only the senior girls took. chances
with the possible displeasure of the sat
irized authorities. But they were lib
orally supported by the juniors, sopho-
mores and freshmen, who were allowed
to appear in the chorus.
The various choruses were ingenious.
A faculty chorus opened the play. DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler, Dean Laura D.
Gill and Superintendent Of Grounds F.
A. Goethe were there in near repre-
sentation.
An unusually pleasing feature was the
pony ballet, written by Miss Closson, '09
Six of the college girls, under the In
struction Of the whip, Miss Mclean,
romped upon the stage and gamboled
about at will until called upon to draw
the line. Then the audience discovered
that the ponies were merely young wo-
men wearing brown skirts and white
waists, and placarded respectively Hor.
ace, Mvy, Vergil, Ovid, Cicero and
Cesar.
Hazing. by real live sophomores was
the feature Of the sophomore chorus

Biennial Aftermath,

The recent biennial furnished most
practical answer to the question SO fire.
quently heard at women $ clubs: "Why
should we join the general federation 2
| What will we gain by paying national
! dues when we can use the money at
home9' The federation spirit has not
! been especially active in Minnesota for
/ the last few years, but it cannot fail
to receive an impetus from the inspir-
ing reports of the work that has been
done in all departments Of the fedora
ton and from contact with the splendid
women who are directing them.
* The biennial gave me a greater re-
spect for women 8 clubs than I ever
had before I never imagined they took
ups such live questions as forestry, child
labor. pure food or the industrial con-
ditions,' said more than one visitor.
"I fancied that they were more social
power they can be in the country
This is the comment that was heard
more than once, and if the biennial has
done nothing else than raise the posi-
ton of women 8 clubs in public esti-
nation it is surely worth while to have
had the great gathering here. Mime

northwest as in the south and east, and
if@fhe club women do what they have
planned they never will be.
Pure food, owing, perhaps, to the
national interest in the present agita,
tion, proved to be a most popular
feature, and Mrs. Walter McNab Miller
and her associates We're besieged with
questions, serious and trivial, in regard
to food adulterat TONS. The pure food
exhibit of Minnesota made such an i'm
preston on the committee that it was
chosen as the one to be sent thru the
United States on an educational mis-
sion. The Minnesota manufacturers OF
iadulterated foods have received some
Iunfavorable publicity the last week
thru the state exhibit, for the manu-
faeturers' names were plainly given.
All the biennial speakers placed the
burden Of every reform on the shoulders

could purify everything from politics

had been asleep in the seminar room
saw the act just before she was called

With Nebraska two points in the lead

proceeding was clever parody on the

in in time to save Jack Tobin from
ignominious expulsion.
With the last act the specialties came
to the fore. The scene was a rehearsal
of & AS You Like IT, and the mingling
Of Shakesperean scenes and costumes

assault and murder of Mrs. Sarah
Smith here July Is last, was forcibly
taken from the Jail here Sunday morn

negroes were charged with the crime
against Mrs. Smith, one of the most
fiendish ever committed in the state,

was in Jail, awaiting the action of the
grand jury.
