END. AT S3.

LONDON, May Sex Empress
Eugenie, widow Of the last Napoleon
who sat upon the imperial throne of
France, is celebrating her eighty
third birthday today, old, broken in
health and spirit and ehastened by the
nlisfortunes which befell her after a
brief but highly sensational and ex-
tremely brilliant career. Few women
can look back upon experiences so
varied and full Of contrasts as the
now old and feeble ex-Empress of the
French. Few women ever rose from
comparative obscurity to a high and
commanding position Of honor in so
short a time and survived their fall.

Of disappointment, regret and repen-

Eugenie's career was in many re-
spects phenomenal. Born in Granada

Montijo was the product of peculiar
racial mixture Her father, the Count
de Montijo, was a Spanish grandee,
Who traced his lineage to the early
Spanish kings, while her mother was

Her mother was an extremely clever
and cunning adventures and it was
due as much to her scheming and
careful laying Of plans as to her
daughters beauty and brilliancy that
Eugene succeeded not only in win
ming the love of Prince Louis Napo-
leon, then President Of the Second
republic. but in bringing him to COM
plete surrender. II was well known
that Napoleon's intentions at FIRST
were far from being honorable, but
so CAREFUL did mother and daughter
play their game, that Napoleon, who
had in tie mean time become Emper-
or, married the young adventures,
contrary to the advice Of his minist-
ers.
The marriage took place on Janu.
ary %, 1883. The French people
we're full of enthusiasm over the TO-
nance of the alliance and idolized the
beautiful young woman who shared
tie throne. A brilliant time began
for the gayest Of all European courts
and for many years Eugene was the
most enried and most talked-oi wo'
man ii the world. But, not satisfied
with her triumphs as a woman she be
came possessed with a consuming am.
bition for political power. Her at.
ternpts to crafty this ambition led tc
serious and disastrous consequences
disastrous not only for Franee, but
for the ambitious empress.

Paris were followed By the terrible

AFTER THE FRAUDS.
Chicago Dispensaries To Be Freed
From The Blk Patients.

HICAGO, May 5.-The physicians
Of this city are preparing to reform"
the free dispensaries here. They
have a sharp stick in pickle for the
imposters who, they say, have an
uncomfortable aversion to pay
ing physicians bills and resorts to
free dispensary whenever they have
an ache which needs remedying, a
tooth which needs extracting or an
appendix which has been fractious.
A committee of physicians have been
collecting date at the various dispen-
saries and has discovered that half a
million persons are treated annually
without fees. The reform movement
contemplated is that the various med
ical organizations Of the city will
establish central investigation
bureau to cooperate with the charit-
able organizations in hunting out i'm
posters. All applicants for free treat
ment will be asked to sign their
names, give their addresses and an
swer certain questions relative to
their income, etc A record similar
to the card index system Of the
Bureau of Charities will be installed.
By referring to this the officials in
charge of free dispensaries will be
able TO tell Immediately whether the
applicants are worthy, II they have
fat bank accounts, or if members Of
their families are drawing good salar-
les, they will be asked to remunerate
a physician for his services,
