EMPRESS EUGENIA
WILL BE 81 THIS YEAR

The beauty OF all the courts of
Europe of forty years ago is to be 81
years old this year. as we are told by
a new book on the Empress Eugene.
Every one was interested in Eugenie
for she was not only a beauty but for
a moment seemed to be able. while she
had the impression that she could
carry on the Empire for her son. not
withstanding her husbands overthrow
Bismarck. who had more ability and
much of what she considered rudeness,
never agreed with her. so DR.. Evans,
her dentist. helped her out of Paris.
She was looked upon rather as an in
truder in royal circles in the days of
her imperial greatness; but after her
downfall she became the guest Of the
very particular Victoria. and her
Scotch servants now address her as
"Your Majesty" Her servants are
said to be principally Scotch because
her mother was the daughter of VIII
liam Kirkpatrick, a Scotch print and
wool merchant who practised his pro-
fession in Malaga. The Bonapartes Of
the second venture seemed to have
retired with a fortune. for both Ma
poleon III. and his widow have had a
good deal to spend. They bought
marlborough Hill, a fine house, and
275 acres of land from the publisher
Longmans; and now it is reat estate
in which Eugene lives in splendid, II
mournful insolation. surrounded by
relics of the past. and by an atmos'
phere of deep ecclesiasticism. Bu-
genie has built a large iron room II
which NaDoleonic relics are to be gath
cred and kept. especially those OF tho
Prince Imperial which suggest his
death in Africa. The abbey on thu
estate is the burial place Of the EN-
peror and the Prince Imperial, and
! there is a side chapel for the toml
of the Empress. The lady who wa'
once so often thought of as an ad

to clothes. has been greatly dignifie'
by her sorrows and her seclusion.-

PITTSBURG. Sept. 17-Declarine
there is more money in insuring lives

The latest Pittsburg preacher to lay
aside the cloth for the life insurance

his resignation had been accepted.
