Two Pathetic Old Ex.Quesns Still Live
to See Europe Torn BY Most
Ruthless War.

There are two women, once OF world
prominence, who within the memory OF
those now living have experienced un-
usual extremes Of fortune. Their lives
have touched the heights of power and
tragedy. One is Carlotta, daughter Of
Leopold of Belgium and wife Of that
Macmillan, archduke of Austria and
emperor Of Mexico, who faced firing
squad at Queretaro in 1867; the other
is Eugene, on whose head Napoleon
III placed the crown of France, once
worn by Marie Antoinette, and who,
more fortunate than that unhappy
queen, escaped French mob and sur
vived the downfall of an empire. The
misfortunes Of both we're SPAWNED in
less than half dozen years. Carlotta
has been insane for 40 years, with
some slight chance at this late day,
1t Is said, Of recovering her reason;
Eugene, ninety.years old, the 9Th Of
next month, still lives in exile, bent,
worn old woman, leaning upon crptches
and clad In perpetual mourning
who was once queen of beauty and
ruler Of fashion, setting its modes in
accordance with her whims.

buttons may see in Eugenie's long
years Of bereavement fate's requital
for the, cowardice and cruelty Of Ma
poleon the Little, who left Macmillan
to his fate, denied Carlotta's pleas and
requested her to leave France. His
own fall came soon. The Franc0-Prus-
sian war. which France ascribed to
Eugenie's influence-that her only son,
the Prince Imperial, might more Sc
curely hold the crown-left him q
prisoner after Sedan. He died, brok.
en- hearted and in exile, in 1873; the
Prince Imperial, who. according to ru-
NOR, Joined the British forces in South
Africa because Of his mothers opposi-
ton to his love for girl he wished to
marry, was brought home pierced with
Zulu assegais. That loss was greater
than that Of husband or empire to the
ex-empress; for weeks she did not
speak.
