Today in
Washington History

February 81, 1s57.-Rapid progress is
being made on the huge platform that
is being erected to accommodate the
thousands of persons who will assemble
at the east front of the Capitol March 4
to witness the inauguration of Mr..
Buchanan as President of the United
States
The erection of this platform is made
necessary by the fact that the space
usually occupied by the crowds on such
occasions is now covered by a hetero-
geneous mass of marble blocks TO be
used in the enlargement of the Capitol.
Many of these blocks are delicately or
namented, and it is necessary that they
be protected from injury by the hands
and feet of the 10000 or 10000 curious
and eager persons who on March Will
be moving back and forth over this
area.
Upon this immense platform all per-
sons will be able to see the inaugural
ceremonies much better than ever be-
fore. Its supports are evidently ample,
though fall from it would probably do
no injury, as it is not more than 3
feet from the ground.
All the other arrangements for the
Inauguration of Mr.. Buchanan are go
ing forward smoothly. An unusually
large number of visitors from the
States is expected in the city on
March 4.
Among the military organizations
that have sent word of their intention
to take part in the inaugural ceremonies
is the Charlestown City Guard of Mas
sachusetts. popularity known as the
Bunker Hill Boys" It is one of the
best-drilled military organizations in
the Old Bay State and its band is very
popular.
The Bunker Hill Boys will leave Bos-
ton by way of Lowell. Nashua and Wor-
cester on Saturday, February 20, arriv-
ing IN New York on Sunday morning.
They will leave New York Sunday aft
ernoon and arrive in Baltimore Monday
morning. After spending the day in
Baltimore they will entrain for Wash
ington and are due to reach this city
on the morning of Tuesday, March 3:
They will stay here until Thursday.
In the Charlestown City Guard. as it
will be seen here, are So men. The es-
innate of their expenses for the trip
Is $4,000. Capt w. w. Pierce, their
commanding officer, will be remem-
bered as one of the delegates to the
Democratic national convention at Gin
cinnati, when Mr.. Buchanan was nom
mated for President. Capt. Pierce is re-
garded as "a true representative of the
National Democracy" The leader of
their band is P. S. Gilmore of Salem
who is equally distinguished as COM
poser, director and performer.

priest. head of monastery 200 miles
distant from Vienna, and consequently
out OF touch with society. To him
Henry said:
Il expect my cousin, the Archduchess
Maria, soon. We have been secretly
engaged for quite while. Today we
wish to be married. I want a quiet
wedding, free of pomp and ostentation.
Will you offlciate?"
The ecclesiastic was a bit doubtful.
but changed his mind when the arch
duke proposed to send for the Arch
bishop of Vienna.
The party adjourned to smaller,
dimly lighted room. In few minutes
a yelled lady entered. The marriage
service was performed and six wedding
certlhcates were drawn UP, signed by
the guests as witnesses and the priest
as the ofdciating clergyman.
No such person as the Archduchess
Maria existed. The yelled lady was the
lovely Leopoldine.
The archduke took his wife to
Switzerland, where the Emperor couldn't
bother them. For fifteen years they
lived the happiest sort of an existence.
The Emperor repented and invited them
TO return to Austria. He created Leo
poldine the Countess of Waldeck.
The delighted couple, bringing their
one daughter, came back. But, sadly,
both died within a year.

In the time of Emperor Franz josef
the archdukes of Austria seemed to
have a perverse habit of falling in love
with actresses. The Emperor did not
mind this, but 1t exasperated him that
his relatives seemed to think they must
marry the beautiful creatures.
Franz Josef's opposition drove the
Archduke John Salvador and his hum
BILE bride, Milly Stubel, to a tragic
death at sea. However, the romance
of the Archduke Henry and the lovely
Leopoldine Hoffman-an actress like
Milly Stubel-had a happy ending.
1t was at dinner at the Hofburg,
the imperial palace in Vienna, that the
Archduke Henry told Franz Josef that
he had fallen in love with Leopoldine.
The Emperor winked slyly.
THESE actresses are very fascinating
aren't they?" he, said. "Amuse your
self, my boy. But don't think of mar
rying one. An archduchess is what
you must have for a wife"
Henry, who was thinking Of nothing
but marriage, feared to tell the EN-
peror his real wish. But soon it was
noticed that he was seen less and less
at court.
Often while brilliant assemblage
thronged the magnificent chambers of
the Hofburg, Archduke Henry would be
standing in the shadows of the night
with poor Leopoldine on his arm, gaz-
ing at the illumination. He spent every
moment he could with her.
Foreseeing an attempt at marriage
would follow, Franz Josef notified every
bishop in Austria not to permit a cere-
mony uniting Henry and Leopoldine
But he wasn't clever enough to frus-
trate the lovers.
One day the archduke gave a lunch
con party at his palace. Leopoldine
was not one of the four ladies present.

String Beans With Pork.

People who like the flavor of salt pork
will find string beans cooked with
small piece of this meat very appetizing.
Besides improving the flavor, salt pork
supplies the beans with fat, a food sub
stance in which they are very low After
washing the beans that are to be cooked
in this way, remove the ends and
strings. but do not cut into inch lengths.
Put the whole beans to cook in boiling
water and add one-fourth pound Of
pork for SUFFICIENT amount of beans to
serve four persons. Cook until the beans
are tender and serve with the pork
without removing from the liquid.
