Prom the Courier-Journal, The Secretary of State gave a dinner to the sommission, and those invited to meet them were Justice-elect Lamar, Mr. Justice Bradley, nd Mr. Justice Field. The British minister snd Miss West issued invitations to meet simply ‘Mr, Chamberlain.” Your correspondent was standing near when Mr, Chamberlain, arriving rom the dinner at 11 p.m., was introduced to Miss Endicott, she being the first lady Miss West presented. It was Saturday night, and the invitations read for 9 o'clock. As all who enjoyed dancing in the beautiful ball-room of the legation knew that the music would cease at midnight, they were prompt in arriving, and quickly deserted the drawing-rooms for the ball, Miss West kept her position near the door of the middle drawing-room to welcome lady guests as they entered. For this reason only Miss Endicott and a few others who did not dance were with Miss West when the gen- tlemen, in company with Secretary Bayard, ar- rived. Miss Endicott is very ready in conver- sation, and as soon as Mr. Chambe: in_was in- troduced & lively conversation ensued.

King Milan’s Mind Thought to Have Become Unbalanced by His Excesses. Vienna Letter in the New York Times. The greatest anxiety reigns here with regard to Servia, in the fate of which vast Austrian interests, both of a financial and politictal na- ture, are involved. A very decided impression prevails that King Milan has reached the end of his tether and that he is on the eve of his overthrow—if nothing worse. So firmly con- vinced are the moneyed classes thereof that it was only with the greatest difliculty that he was able on the occasion of his recent stay here to obtain from the Laender bank a small loa This was all the more significant as the bank in question has tor the past eight or nine years not only possessed complete control of the revenues of Servia, but also a practical monopoly of all the gre industrial enterprises of the country, and h: hitherto always shown itself most accomm dating in the matter of personal loans to the ki n The fact is that while in Vienna Milan acted and talked in such an extraordinary manner as to give rise to the conviction that his mind has become completely unbalanced from the effects of heavy drinking and other forms of debau ery. If any hesitation had remained on tl subject it must have been dispelled by his a titude since his return to Belgrade. “His first act on reaching his capital was to break up al- together the entire progressist or philo-Aus- trian party, and to drive its two principal lead- ers into exile. The sole apparent reason for the animosity of the king toward this part which alone in Servia has supported him in his unpopular pro-Austrian policy, is that its lead- ers advocated the establishment of some kind of a modus vivendi with the queen and the avoidance of the public scandal of a divorce; In order to fully appreciate the conduct of Milan in this affair it is merely necessary to point out that ever since 1878 he has sold him- self body and soul to the Vienna government. and has displayed the utmost subserviency and blindest devotion to its behests. The word “sold” is used advisedly, for the attitude of the king toward Austria is based mainly on financial grounds. Milan, as is well known, is an inveterate gambler, and is always uniucky at cards, except when he plays with the Ans- ve from their respective governments a special allowance to be de oted tothe p ayment of their obviously intentional losses to his majesty.

In Her Youth She was One of the Most Beautiful Women in Europe. Paris Letter to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. I do not think that the present generation of young royal ladies can present as exquisite types of loveliness as did that now passing away, Twenty-five years ago the empress of Austria, for instance, was simply dazzling. She would have been noted for her beauty had she been a barmaid or a ballet girl. The slender, graceful figure, the finely moulded features, the large, brilliant dark eyes, the beautifully formed head, crowned with a wealth of black silken tresses, allwent to make up an ensemble of physical perfection. I saw her once at that period, when I was staying at the Archduke Charles hotel at Vienna. The radiant Elizabeth came there with her imperial husband to call upon the countess of Flanders, the sister-in- law of the king of the Belgians. She passed in front of a large window opening upon a bal- cony, and on that balcony was stationed a party of Americans, one of which was myself, ail eager to catch a glimpse of the famous royal beauty. With true queenly courtesy she paused for a moment on beholding the group, and stood there for a brief but appreciable space of time, asif to say: “You wanted to see me—here Tam!” Then, with a stately inclination of her beautiful head, she turned away and rejoined her husband, leaving every one of the specta- tors in raptures with her loveliness. She was attired in a costume of transparent muslin and Valenciennes lace, with a broad sash in violet silk thickly embroidered with steel spangles, From beneath her compact little turban hat there fell at the back of her head a mass of black, glossy braided tresses, coiled round and round, and confined in a net of purple silk. A simple dress enough for an empress to wear while paying a call on a princess, but its very simplicity only served to enhance the splendor of its wearer's beauty. Of late ycars the em- press willnever consent tositforher photograph and dislikes extremely to be gazed at in public, sure tokens of the waning of her once re- splendent charms. She was the one beauty of her family, none of her three sisters, the queen of Naples, ‘the princess of Thurn and Taxis, and the Duchess d’Alencon, being in any way remarkable for their good looks. Indeed, the last named princess was positively plain. A good deal of regret has been felt in Austrian society that the emperor had not selected Prin- cess Helen, now princess of Thurn and Taxis, as she is a very brilliant conversationalist and is fond of music and society; whereas the em- press dislikes even to show herself at the opera, and really cares for nothing except riding and hunting. She is growing rather old to indulge in this last amusement, being over fifty-one. But she preserves many of her charms and especially the shapeliness of her figure and the luxuriance of her long, thick tresses. At the court concert, given at Vienna in honor of the emperor of Germany, she created a pro- found sensation by her coiffure. She wore her hair falling unconfined at the back in long masses over her shoulders and studded with stars of diamonds held in place by slender con- cealed wires. This ‘Berenice coiffare,” as it was called, was greatly admired, no less than its stately wearer. The empress is said to be the queenliest royal lady in Europe to behold. | It is a sight to see her at court presentation, | passing down the line of ladies who are to be | introduced, and turning at the end with a j stand sweep of her regal train, whose folds are never disarranged by the action, 80 adroitly is it executed. In the days of her yonth the imperial Eli beth was a very winning and sympathetic per- sonage. The professor engaged to teach her 2 arian language has left on record the | impressigh made upon him by his royal pupil: | her gentlencss, her gracious ways, herardorand | conscientiousness in her studies, andalso the de- | voted affection then subsisting between herself jand her husband. She would throw aside in- | stantly her books and exercises and hurry from the room whenever the emperor was heard call- ing her by her pet name of Elise, This pleasant | State of matters conjugal was brought to a sud- den termination several years ago. The em- | press detected her sponse ina linson of p iar turpitude and bad taste. This was more than the haughty Elizabeth, then conscious of being one of the loveliest women in Europe, could patiently endure. She never for- given her husband, though, unlike the queen of Servia, she was too wise to bring matters to an open rupture. From that period dates her partial withdrawal from court life and her de- votion to riding andhunting. Under the name of the Countess of Hohenembs she has shown | a great predilection for fox hunting in Ircland, | but that form of enjoyment has been in late ears debarred to her by the Irish disturb- nes. | In the early days of her youth and trigm- phant loveliness she was the inconscious cause | of a very pathetic little romance. A young | American gentleman. whose sister had been | educated in Europe, chanced to see in her pho- | tograph album on her return a portrait of the | beautiful Elizabeth. He was greatly struck by it, and on first beholding it declared that he | would woo and win the original at all hazards if she were still unmarried. When told that | the portrait was that of the empress of Aus- \tria he said nothing more, but a few weeks | iter he announced his intention of going to Europe. As his health was very delicate his parents encouraged him in his project. hoping that the change of air and scene might prove Dencticial to him, He went straight to Vienna and remained there for nearly a year, fre- quenting assiduously ‘the opera, the drive on fashionable days on the prater and other places | where he might have a chance of beholding | the imperial beauty whose image had so capti- vated him. Late in the winter he contracted a severe cold, which developed into rapid con- sumption. and he only returned home to die, | Among his papers was’ found_by his surviving | family ry beautiful miniature of the em- | press, which he had caused to be painted from | a photograph, and also a few fragments of im- passioned verse telling of a love as deep and sincere as it had been hopeless and unavowed. zs oe = His Preference.
