LONG AND EyENTFUL

It is doubtful if in all history there
has been an active, authenticated
reign longer than that closed by the
death of Francis Joseph.
AT nineteen years of age he ascend
ed the throne of Austria, upon abdi-
cation of his uncle, Ferdinand l., Dec
ember 2, 1848, his death last night
ending an active reign of SO years, all
but the first twenty during which he
was also Apostolic King of Hungary.
Francis Joseph's reign was as
eventful as it was long. From his
imperial vantage point he saw the
French monarchy go down, the Second
Empire rise and crumble, the Com
mune flare briefly, and the Republic
of today rise on its ashes; he saw the
black pinions of the Prussian Eagle
stamped on the flag of Austria itself;
he saw the papacy shorn of its terri
torial demesne, while about bicker-
ing family of petty principles was
welded into united Italy; he saw
Spain, once the greatest of colonial
powers, lose the last of her depend
ences in two oceans; he saw Japan
opened to Western civilization, and
later defeat the sprawling Colossus
of two continents; he saw the most
absolute despotisims-Russia, Tur-
key and Perisa-concede representa-
ton to the people; he saw at dis
tance the United States cement its
federation with the blood of great
internecine war, and he saw his own
brother prove that monarchy could not
take root on American soil.
In his own country he faced dissen-
sions and external aggressions from
the moment he came to the throne
BY the war of 1859 with France and
Sardinia he was forced to cede Lom-
hardy to Italy; by force of arms and
treaty he lost the Duchy of Holstein
to Prussia and Venice to Italy; and
by the revolt of Kossuth, the Hun
garian patriot, he barely escaped hav-
gni the dual empire cut in two.
Besides the many internal and ex-
ternal differences of his people and
nations he was forced to face during
his reign he had many person
al sorrows which overshadowed his
life, the greatest of which was the
tragedy in 1889, when Rudolf, the i'm
perial prince, of the house of the
Hapsburgs, and upon whom the Aus
trians pinned their hopes, met death
in a mysterious way, which to this
day is not cleared.

there being a good attendance and
every one feeling good over Sister
Browns visit and the return of Sis
ter Emma Burnett from her visit in

interesting account of her visit to
other temples, and we wish all the
members could have heard her Our
meeting of the temple on Tuesday,
Dec. II, will be held at 7:30, and we
expect large attendance and inter
|esting program. We are sure all
sisters and Pythian brothers who do
not attend will miss a treat. Sister
Burnett was installed as manager at
our Tuesday meeting, and we expect
to do considerable work by the first
of the year. Our meetings are very
interesting and instructive, and every
member should put forth every effort
possible to attend regularly, so they
may derive all the benefit from the
order. Reporter

FOQD-STUFFS
Fitzgerald Announces His Intention to
Prepare Bill Providing for Such
Legislation
(Associated Press)

Washington, Nov. Chairman
Fitzgerald of House Appropriations
Committee, has announced that he In
tends to prepare a bill providing for
an embargo on food-stuffs and that
he would push it early in the COM
ing session of congress. He declared
that an embargo would be the most
effective weapon in the controversy
with Great Britain over the trade
black list and do more to bring nego-
tiations to a head than months of
diplomatic conferences. He says it
should be imposed for purely domes-
tic reasons, as food prices have reach
ed levels where they are causing
widespread distress.
