SEEK PEARLSIN SEA
Hunt For Property Of Empress Who
Sunk Them Ten Years Ago.

T! VIENNA, Feb 9.-The wonderful
. pearl necklace of the late Empress
Elizabeth, known as the Tears of the
Virgin" is to be sought for at the
bottom OF the sea by order of Emperor
Francis Joseph.
This necklace was the only piece of
/, jewelry which the empress cared for
during the last years of her life. Ac-
cording to the story, some moths be-
fore her death at the hands of the
assassin Lucheni, the empress was
distressed to find that the pearls we're
losing their luster Then, in dream,
she was told by voice" that the only
way to restore them to their pristine
state was to sink the pearls In the
sea for a whole year
The empress, who was then staying
Mt her villa in Corfu, put the pearls
into perforated box attached to
long steel chain. In the middle of the
night she rowed with her lady in wait
ing to a rocky islet off the coast, and
sank the precious box. attaching the
chain to rock.
The assassination of the empress
occurred before the year was over, but
after her death the lady-in-waiting !
went to Corfu to pull up the pearls.
She found, however, that the chain |
was broken.
The Tears of the Virgin" have now /
'emained at the bottom of the sea for
nearly ten years, and II they are
up by divers should be much
in appearance.

MAN WHO RULES
ENGLAND


The real ruler Of the British empire
is not the titular sovereign nor the
hereditary nobility; 1t is the leader of
the political majority, who derives mis-
power solely from the direct vote of
the people. The prime minister Ut
England Is subordinate neither to the
king nor the house of peers. Every
man who shares with him In the work
Of the government is his subordinate.
Following a general election the SOW,
ereign sends for a member Of the ma.
jority party an dinstructs him to form
a government. This is one of those fic-
tions of the constitutional authority of
the sovereign to which the English peo-
pie cling as to the heritage of tradi-
ton. The summons is delivered, but
1T is merely form. The party leader
is such not by the grace of the soy
ereign, but by the choice of the major
ity; not by election but because he has
the qualities of leadership
The leader, having received the SOW
ereign's instructions to form a gov
eminent, becomes by that mandate
the autocrat of the empire. His pow
er is absolute. Like the president, he
may appoint whomsoever he pleases
a member of his cabinet, but, unlike
the president, he is not influenced by
geographical considerations. nor does
be have to submit his nominations to
the senate. In both countries the
of the cabinet hold Office at
The will of the appointing power, but
he tenure of office Is even more pre-
,arious in England than 1t is in the .
United States. Here a. minister may
liffer from the president on matter
II policy and not feel 1t incumbent
lpon him to resign; In England there p
AN be no differences. Either a min :
ster agrees with his chief or he re- hi
igns. /!
In England the cabinet is an extra =
egal creation. Nominally 1t is one of -
of the party council. c
hose functions are to advise the SOW II
reign, but this is simply survival y
I mediaevalism. The cabinet is un- Al
IT the sole control of the premier. ST
nhampered by royal or other inter- I'll

On the bosom of the poetic Hudson a
hill lifts it head on high and casts its
shadows on the dancing waves. There
are that precipitous declivity is town,
little town, a little bit of town,
called Palisade, situated in the common
wealth of New Jersey. Palisade is now
in the swaddling clothes of infancy, yet
it is mighty and full of vim and energy
and push. In Palisade there are some
sixty houses, and perhaps, 900 or more
population. But if the earth ever yet
saw the equal of Palisade in the way
it humps itself at times in the game of
politics, the case has not come under the
eye of this deponent and he has trav-
eled some.
However, be this as it may there is
in Palisade a Taxpayers association,
and its last regular meeting was held
Oct. II. There was fair attendance,
something over twenty in all. At all
of the meeting of the Taxpayers As
ISOLATION there is a regular order of
business, and it was gone through with,
as usual, the president presiding. His
rulings are always fair and perfectly
honorable Upon this occasion, the re-
cording secretary, Mr.. Sagur, arose,
after having read the minutes of several
previous meetings, and said, he having
been compelled to take a midnight train
for Boston, that he would like to intro
duce a motion, which he began reading.
1t started off with a mention of The
PALIsADIAN reports being all wrong,
and he thought 'the time had arrived
when" and just then Paul T. Brady,
whom no more golden hearted gentle
man ever lived, arose and said about in
these words: 'Mr. Chairman, | ask that
you stop that motion. | know what it
mca3.,. | know what is going on here,
and | know the feeling behind any such
motion as this at this time We have

are not prepared at this time to engage
in any more personalities hope, there
fore, you will put a stop to the motion
Mr. Sagur had stopped reading his
and the said president, sitting,
told Mr. Brady that he did not see how
he could stop the motion. Any gentle
man, he said, had right to introduce
motion, and, it remained for the Associa-
ton to vote upon it properly seconded.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1907-03-18

Today the city of Perth Amboy,
with $4,000 population, has no bet
ter station accommodations than the
town of Sewaren with only a few
hundred inhabitants Doubtless the
railroad realizes the injustice in this.
Large bodies move slowly. If, the
railroad really means to have a new
station here before January /, 1909,
which will be two years from the
time the promise was made, it will
have to be built some time during the
next summer or the fall of 1908. In
that event 1t Is about time some of the
preliminary work was being done.
Doubtless Mayor Bollschweiler
will remind the railroad of this if he
succeeds in getting his interview. We
need the new station now The rail-
road can cut as much off that two
years as it pleases.
