| Spectral Correspondence OF / ne star
LONDON, October 10, 1907.
The one factor which dominates every
thing else in the political world in Eu-
rope at the present moment is the health
of the Austrian emperor. One has only 10
cast glance at the newspapers of Ber-
lin, Paris or London and see the space
and prominence given to the news of his
condition to realize the Importance which
the world attaches to the life of Franz
Josef of Austria. The very Importance of
knowing the truth makes the Austrian
authorities unwilling to say one word
more than Is necessary. This Is why the
official accounts are drawn up In such
vague phrases that they mean anything
or nothing.
The Emperor Franz Josef has always
been the Youngest man of his age in Eu-
rope. Only six weeks ago he was present
at the grand maneuvers of his army in
the Carpathian mountains. and passed
| hours each day on horseback. He has
always been tireless hunter. and passed
entire days In the imperial preserves. He
lived life of the severest simplicity-up
with the dawn, and going to bed at an
early hour each evening. He was half
through the business of state before the
inhabitants of Vienna were out of bed.
Five days ago the famous "Ausgleich"
between Austria and Hungary was con-
CludeO after Twelve long years or neRO-
tiation The fact that the emperor
unable to receive Baron Won Beck and Dr.
Wekerle. the Austrian and Hungarian
premiers. to hear their report a mat
ter which lies so near his heart, is, to all
who know him. proof of how serious his
condition must have been. It may De that
his robust constitution will assert itself.
and that he will throw off his present H.
ness.
If anything should happen to Franz
Josef one of The most complicated and
difficult problems in Europe will be opened
up. For there is certainly no living hu-
man being who exercised such a far
reaching personal influence as the Aus
TRAN emperor. Prince Metternich once
declared scornfully that Italy was not
country; 1t was only a raphical ex-
preston. This is today true of the en-
pire he helped to govern. The Hungarian
question, the Ruthenian question, the
Croatian question. the Slavonian question,
are all more or less acute. Every one of
the races and nationalities of the empire
detests one another. They have only one
common bond of union-their love and
reverence for Franz Josef. Colt erhalt
ihn Franz den Kaiser, unser gutter Kaiser
Franz is the one anthem all his sub
jects can join in singing.

Miss vanderbilt's Engagement.

The engagement of Miss Gladys Van
derbtlt recalls to older Londoners the
name and figure of Count Edmond
szecheny Pasha. the uncle of the man
now in America who is a general of d.
vision and head of the military fire
brigade at Constantinople Count Ed
mond was. in younger days. a familiar
figure in London. A close friend of the
old Duke of Sutherland. the Prince of
Wales-now the king-he was constantly
in evidence in sporting circles. 1t was
during his sojourn in London that the
count took up - study of fire-quelling
appliance. He learned under the famous
Capt. Shaw of the metropolitan brigade
returned to Budapest to organize and
equip a brigade there on English lines
and was finally invited to Turkey, where
reputed (among many other ''unadopted"
contrivance) to have invented plan
whereby, on an alarm of fire being raised
in hotel. the pressing of a button will
let down all corridor walls and shoot
beds and their occupants automatically
into the passage.
The holding of pageants. which have
proved so popular and attractive a form
of public entertainment in verious parts
of the country during the last year or
two, is TO receive new development in
the course of next month and ought to
produce singularly rich and picturesque
result. considering the wealth of material
work. The chief feature of the lord
mayors show on November will be ii
pageant designed by Mr. Louis n. Parker,
the well-known dramatist, and the origi-
nal inventor of this form of entertain
ment who has now carried out with re-
markabe success a long series of pa
geants. including those at Warwick and
Bury st. Edmunds. The pageant is to
represent all the Edwards who have
ruled over England. from Edward the
Confessor down to King Edward VII, but
while the Edwards to Edward VI will
be directly represented by mimic sover-
eigns horseback, each surrounded by
the most eminent men of his time. the
present reign will find an allegorical rep
resentation iii a car symbolic of peace
And of the various quarters of the globe.
If the idea is well carried out as II is
pretty certain to be. the coming lord
mayors shown should be the most in
teresting and attractive OF all that have
hitherto been held.

The Mob Wanted Them.
Gainesville Sun, 13th.)

A report comes from Bronson to
the effect that Bascom Lowman and
his son, George Lowman, accused of
the murder of Dunlap Phinney at
Raleigh Saturday night, are both in
Jail at Bronson, Bascom Lowman be-
ing arrested Monday and George
LOwman Wednesday.
1t is said that a large crowd late
yesterday afternoon had gathered
about the Jail, and the spirit of the
mob showed great Indignation over
the matter, and it is stated that
Sheriff Walker has been publicly cen
sured for having apparently delayed
the arrests so long. The report of
the cenSure of the officer is not au-
thentic, however.
No preliminary hearing has yet
been had, and it is understood that
a special term of the circuit court
will be asked for the trial of these
men.
1t is further reported that nearly
five hundred people attended the
funeral of Mr.. Phinney in Williston.

Reno, Nev.-There are perhaps

station in the union in proportion to
the population. Every camp, town
and county is crowded with former
varsity men. Some are former stars

But out of 1t all there Is no organ

the ideals for which the men were
trained. The college graduate is at.

In other words, one Gras cartridge

glasses OF beer. one ice cream soda

This is truly sad news for lovers
OF peace in tho world. In n country
where bullets are coming into use MS
