Karl S.ephans Daughters.

In contrast 10 the story Of what has
been called the unhappiest royal mar
rage ON record are the events leading Up
10 the weddings OF the two daughters OF
the Archduke Karl Stephan. which toot
place last week. That 81 the elder ~ the
two sisters was very romantic affair.
The Archduchess Elcouore has always
been an outdoor girl She loves tennis
and boating and was particularly fond Of
Yachting II was on her fathers yacht
when cruising in the Adriatic that the
archduchess met handsome lieutenant
Herr Won Kloss. who was In charge Of
the boat. 30 one paid any attention To-
the presence Of the young man. for the
imperial family is so accustomed to con
slider itself different from the ordinary
commoner that the idea OF one Of them
selves" falling I'm love with some one
from different class is regarded almost
as absurd
Thus. the arChduchess was permitted 10
be on deck alone and 10 ask as many
questions "a she pleased Of the Young
lieutenant. No one noticed the long hours
that the Young pair spent In gazing out
over the blue sea.
The archduchcsss lady-in-waiting was
always nominally in attendance. but
there is no doubt that she was either
blind TO what was going OF or that. IKE
the family itself she regarded such an
idea az so prepostcrous that she ala not
even ponder on il. In any case. the hrst
that WAS known OF the attachment came
as a stroke OF lightning.

the fire were given out, but the truth
only came out some weeks ago.
1t appears that by some mysterious
accident the white satin wedding

trimmed with wonderful hand made
lace. caught fire. Report says that II
was the archduchess who committed
the deed. as she wished 10 prevent her
wedding taking place on the morrow.
In any case she was alone in the room
when the accident occurred. She also
knew that no Austrian archduchess
could go 10 the altar without a suitable
toilet
Her family, however. found way
out Of the difficulty They ordered the
dressmaker TO get a wedding gown OF
some sort ready overnight. and the en-

creation by dawn. The new dress was
duly delivered and the ceremony took

The Emperor dismissed the weeping girl
with the promise TO inquire into the char-

her that n this were satisfactory she

peror. who always acts with prompttude,

Does a Doctors statement to the
effect that a man is mot fit to APP
pear in court necessarily mean that
that man is sick? Or does it indicate
that he has had "bignight'' and is,
therefore, unable to respond?
The question was submitted to
Vice. Chancellor Stevens in Chaneery
Court today. If the mans indis-
position came from a physical all
ment, the vice-chancellor was per-
fectly willing to grant the requested
postponement, but if it came from
liquor then, he said. he had no sym
pathy with the petitioner, and would
proceed with the case despite the
principals absence.
1t was finally learned, by calling up
the doctor that liquor didn't figure.
The case was that of John w. Stay
