EMPEROR JOSEPH
 IS IN BAD HEALTH Lost Girl, But Believes He Married Her-One Way
 to Get Dinner

Vienna, December 16.-(Speclal) )-The l health of the Emperor Francis Joseph is again giving serious concern. His maies- ty is suffering from no organic trouble but 1t is said in high circles that he is showing evidences of senile decay and is | extremely feeble physically. He has wor- ried greatly over the Italo-TurSish war and the trouble between Russian and Per 1 sfa, which has increased the unrest in the | Balkan country and which he fears may | lead to general European war He has made several efforts to bring about an understanding between Italy and Turkey and his failure to reach any re-
 suits has worried him greatly.
 There has been some talk of determi-
 nation on his part to throw off the bur
 dens of government by abdcating in favor
 of Archduke Francis Ferdinand were it
 not for the strong family and political pressure brought to bear on him by those
 who dread the accession of the heir ap-
 parent. it is said he would have abdicated
 several months ago. and it is not regarded
 as improbable that he will before long
 override all opposition and surrender the crown.

Richest Section in the South

From. the Washington Post. Ir
 Louisiana, in my opinion, is the rich est section of the south said General Agassiz, d writer of New Orleans. "Thom- as Jefferson Was criticised by the people of every part of. this country when he ap- proved the Louisiana purchase, but the injustice of that criticism is shown by q casual computation of the values of that vast territory now, and at the time vixen the sale was consummated for $15, GOO, ,000
 It is impossible to estimate the value of the territory ceded by France. It runs into billions of dollars. In Louisiana to- day $50 or 400 men are producing half of the worlds commercial sulphur supply: the other half is produced in the Sicilian- Italian government mines The Italian government employees 21.00o men in ,hs York, while Louisiana employees not more than AGO.

The ways of life in the caravanserais of the twentieth century are always so much of their own kind that the French public is never tired of hearing something of what goes on within the walls. Hence the great interest shown in the week in the prosecution of a hotel clerk accused
 of having embezzled 92000 in hotel in the Champs Elysee.
 What is to be expected said one of
 the witnesses Tin a hotel where an Ori- ental potentate runs up daily bill of 9240: where a millionaire drinks Haut
 Brion at f5 bottle; where an English family thought 80 trunks not an excessive
 quantity Of luggage; where guests go about with a lion pup for leash or a
 baby crocodile under their arm; and
 where magnates from the East do their cooking in their bedrooms, and disdain to use the tapestried chairs, sitting in- stead cross legged on the floor?
 The embezzement, it was urged, was scarcely remarkable in this milieu, al- though it might be more reprehensible. But the prosecution pressed the case. The evidence, states the Standard s Paris correspondent, showed that the de- 1 falcations were discovered on a surprise l visit by the auditor. The excuse given was that the money had been advanced with the courtesy and discretion that are customary in such hotels, to one of tine l guests, q lady Of distinction. The plea made the judge prick up his ears. This sum was advanced to lady, he | asked the prisoner. = "Yes,' was the reply.
 But is rather @ large sum-" well, lent only E100 at first, but | then, in order not to lose that and lose my place as well I advanced further sums. | But there need be no fear; the money will be refunded
 But who is this lady?" asked the judge. "A lady of title. but I cannot disclose her name.
 Yes said the lawyer. 'I have her
 name here in my brief. She was born on I the steps of a throne, but l am bound by my oath as q barritser not to reveal her name.''
 | The judge refused. however, to accept | this plea, and the clerk was sentenced 70 two years Imprisonment.

George T. Hulslzer of Livingston,
N. j., has successfully applied the
science of aviation to agriculture in a
manner that may be adopted by other
grangers in this section to Offset the
effect of the annual dry spell. HUI
sizer has two acres of land under cul-
tivation planted with late vegetables.
The plants suffered during the re-
cent drought. Hulsizer, who is some
thing of an inventive genius, rigged
up biplane glider" the dimensions
of which about equaled an old style
Wright machine. To this he attached
a 100-gallon boiler and equipped it
with a sprinkler
At the end of n rope attached to a
windlass It rose from the force Of the
wind in the air and when 1t had reach
ed the right position over the farm
the sprinkler was opened by pulling
a cable. The water descended in a
refreshing shower on the plants, and
the field was sprinkled by simply
drawing in or unwinding the rope on
the windlass.
