This newcomer, the Seneca by name,
is officially designated a "derelict de-
stroyer" and not only is she novelty
among American ocean-going craft,
but is unique in the world, being the
first and only vessel of the kind ever
designed or constructed. The primary
function of the Seneca is, of course,
indicated by her title, "derelict de-
stroyer," but the usefulness of the
powerful vessel is by no means con-
fined to the removal of derelicts,
wrecks or other menaces to naviga-
ton, as was eloquently proven by
the part she played in the relief of
Republic.
Indeed her role is to be that of

ARMY TO REMAIN
on A war BASIS
Austria viii Keep Troops in
Field Until Little Servia
Yields.
SERvIAN ARMY Modified
ENTIRE ELEVEN sRIGADEs OF
THE FIGHTING FORCE At BEL
GRADE AND THE KING READY
TO LEAVE CAPITAL.
sERvIAN ARMY Modified

Vienna, March 24.-Sir Edward
Grey's proposal has been returned to
London as unacceptable, and owing to
the hopeless outlook Of the Powers do
ing effective work in Belgrade, 1t is
more than possible that Count For
zach has been instructed to present a
final note within brief period, and
possibly Thursday is the day.
The whole of the eleven brigades
constituting the Servian army, have
been modelled at Belgrade, and the
Royal train is kept under steam and
ready to convey the king and royal
family to Nish, for Belgrade is admit
ted to be untennable IN case of war.
General Zivkovich will become COM
mander-in-chief of the army and all
treasure. including the post telegraph
funds, which will be removed from Bel
grade to Alexinatz.
British intervention appears to have
aggravated the situation. 1t Is inter-
preted at Belgrade as a movement in
favor of Servia, and has stimulated
the resistance of the little kingdom
against Austria Hungary.
Moreover, Sir Edward Grey's initia-
tive step appears to have been truly
impulsive, and to have been taken
without any previous understanding
with Russia. The Impotence here is
very great, and Sir Edward Grey is
wasting precious time endeavoring to
find a formula which will please all
parties.
Samapruva, the official Servian
newspaper, says that Baron Won Aeh-
renthal suggests conference sug-
gestion which Servia demands will not
be considered, and says that he shows
openly a desire for war.
Another Belgrade dispatch announc-
es the approaching fall of the NOvaka-
vich Ministry. Foumania declares
she will remain neutral in case Of war,
but is sending troops to guard her
frontier.

mans, wasn't it,"
"What do you mean?"
"Why, in the sermon, that joke
about the heart"
at didn't strike me as being at
all facetious.
at didn't, hey? Well, when a
man talks about a heart skipping
around over the hills and drinking
out of the creek he must either be
in fun or else just gassing for the
want of something to say. Who
ever heard of anybody'S insides car
rying on like that? Does your liver
roam round over the hills? Can
your ribs drink out of the canal?"

VANITY OF AN EMPRESS.
Josephine Dearly Loved Her Gowns
and Her Jewels.

and Her Jewels.
1t is a rare privilege to be allow
ed to peep at the mysteries Of an
empress toilet, to ransack her
wardrobes, with their treasures Of
costly gowns, to open her jewel cas-
ket and to gloat over gems that
would purchase many a kings ran
som. But when this empress is the
most luxurious and picturesque wo-
man of an extravagant age the
temptation is too strong to resist,
says the London Standard.
Such an empress was Josephine,
in turn the spoiled darling and out
cast wife of Napoleon l., whose star
filled the social heaven of Europe
for five years. Josephine was more
than forty years old and had al
ready exhausted all the arts of lux
ury when she was crowned empress
in 1904. Her first beauty had long
left her, and it is said she had prac-
ticed the fatal and fashionable art
Of enameling until the enamel
would no longer retain its hold on
her skin, but cracked and covered
her with a constant layer of white
powder.
For ordinary occasions her hair
dresser was a NJ. Herbeault, "a
magnificent creature in an embroid-
cred costume, with a sword at his
side" but for any important occa-
sion NJ. Duplan, the most consum-
mate artist in the world, was called
in. NJ. Duplan's salary for these
occasional services was 10000
francs year, increased later by Ma
poleon to $4,000 francs. These two
unrivaled artists designed for Jo-
sephine's benefit no less than .
thousand new methods Of hair
dressing, each adapted to the spe-
cial circumstances in which it was
worn.
Much as Josephine loved her hun
dreds of costly dresses, she loved
her jewelry more and was never
happy unless she was adding almost
daily to her treasures. In a few
short months she spent half mil
lion francs on jewels, and her hap
piest hours at Malmaison were
spent in spreading out her thou
sands Of gems on the table before
her and gloating over their dazzling
charms.
Her extravaganza was the cause
of many tears and much upbraid-
ing from Napoleon, who grew tired
of paying bills, many of them reach
ing almost a million francs. But
in the end he usually succumbed to
her pleading and penitence and
would say to her: "Come, Jo-
sephine! Come, my little one!
Console yourself. l will make it all
right" Poor, silly Josephine! Poor
Napoleon!
