FRANCIS JOSEPH WELL
DESPITE HIS IS YEARS
Spends His Birthday in Vienna
Working From 4 AM.
T.. Until 5 PM.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
VIENNA, August 2S.-Emperor
Francis Joseph spent his third war
birthday''--August 1S--in absolute re-
tirement in his palace at oenbrun
just outside of Vienna. Only a special
mass in the castle chapel and a family
dinner party distinguished the day
from any other in the monarch's ordi-
nary life. For the rest it was spent, as
usual, in work from dawn until even
ing.
His eighty-siXth birthday found the
emperor in fairly good health despite
all rumors to the contrary. Statesmen
who have seen him lately express as
constituent at his mental and bodily
rigor, but, allowing for some courtier-
like exaggeration, it is generally be-
lteved that the sovereign's health is re
markably good, considering his adj
advanced age. and especially all the
worries and burdens resulting from the
war
Rising at o'clock. the emperor takes
very light breakfast of tea or choco-
late and bread and butter. and is at his
desk by O'Clock. His barber come
three times week though now he is
enrolled in the landsturm. 1t happens
frequently that he cannot come at the
proper time, having guard duty, but the
emperor has ordered that nothing is to
interfere with his military duties He
arrives at the castle in uniform, but
puts on dress coat before going to
the emperor
1. At O'Clock the first adjutant in wait
ing appears with reports and state
papers, and any time after that hour
audiences are granted to ministers and
nigh military personages. Work goes
on steadily all the day, interrupted only
by the mriefest pauses for meals
Naturally the customary rejoicings
on the occasion of the emperor's birth
day throughout the country have been
greatly curtailed by the war In
Vienna high mass at the cathedral.
attended by all the prominent state
and municipal personages, follow ed
by state dinner at the cardinal arch
bishops and the firing of salute at
the arsenal are the chief items on the
program. Usually great crowds nocked
to the Prater, which was Illuminated in
the evening, but this year the popula-
fion was in little mood for such fes-
tlVltles, and the crowds Were far
smaller than in other years

JACKSONVILLE To
.CELEBRAT E OPENING
OF TOURIST SEASON

Jacksonville, Oct. 5.-The fall festi-
val in Jacksonville October 10, II and
IL, in honor of the opening of the
tourist season in Florida, is taking on
mammoth proportions, and from the
reservations being received by the
large hotels from residents of other
cities and town in the state who will
attend the celebration, the affair
promises to be the greatest event of
its kind ever staged in Jacksonville.
The principal features Of the fall
festival will be the great automobile
parade in which $50 cars and beauti-
fully decorated floats will participate
the aquatic sports on the st. Johns
river, consisting of motor boat races
sail boat races and swimming races
the grand masquerade ball on thu
first night of the celebration, which
will be staged on Laura street, be
tween Adams and Duval and Monro'
streets, and the popularity contest fol
the most popular young lady in tn,
city, the winner of which will get /;
$3.50 diamond ring. Three bands vii
furnish music for the merrymakers
and the merchants have subscribet
/ $4,000 toward defraying the expense
of the festival.
From the reports of Dewitt Reid
of the Jacksonville Tourist & Con
vention Bureau, Florida will be Lit
orally swamped with tourists this fal
and winter, and Jacksonville is max
ing great effort to call the at
tention of the state to these facts.

BARGE HAS NOT
BEEN RECOVERED

While the steamship Pennsylvania
was being lightened by unloading sew
eral hundred tons of coal few days
ago, a barge, on which there had been
placed a valuable submarine diving
apparatus, was towed to and moored
at the side of the ship. During Satur-
day night last, the barge broke away,
or rather mysteriously disappeared,
and up to last night not trace of
either barge or diving apparatus had
been found.
The barge, the property of Capt,
John Griffith, is worth about $500
while the diving apparatus, owned by
the Gulf s5achine Works, is worth al
least $700, it is claimed.
In following up the report that
the barge had been discovered neal
the mouth of the harbor, Fred Hen
bricks, in fast boat, made a triI
to the. scene indicated, but did no;
find the lost barge. On the contrary
he did find the "Nemo," owned b.
the Falk Fish Company, on the beach
and later made report of the crafts
predicament to the owners in thu
city.
