bereavement to most of the people. The
cafes are almost empty and the few
within converse in undertones, the late
Emperor being the sole topic.

70 years presided over the dual mon
archy, the 10 races Of which gave him
their love and devotion.

upon which the dual monarchy rested, a

both the department and the railroads
agree in every way to expedite and
