The death of Charlotte press of Mexico, one of the figures in history famons Castle of Miramar few happy ars of her spent win husband before they sailed away to Mexico one to fall before a firing squad and the other to become hopelessly insane. In their wondorful castle by the sea near Trieste (then Austria. now Italy) Archduke Maximilian, brother of the Emperor of Aus and Carlota daughter of th elgium, lived six or se mar, amid th and marvelous of a fai representat former Em tragi miad the where the life were Maximilian calls Kin; luxury viand of the ¥. whe writes of Na re he mmunication tiona) cently Geographic Vi amar n a cc bulletin “One might proach to Miramar was s ff the ine of that bit derland. if he were not entire re that it can stand alone without aids @€ one of the most beautiful pleasure estates in Enrope, the bulletin, Highway Along Sea “The highway over which one ma the five or six mile ride to Miramar by charabancs run long the sea, and at the time of my visit was dusty and rutty. Seaward the view was delight- ful, but the bluffs on the other side, a mixture of rocks and soil mostly bare of vegetation, gave an aspect of freari- ness and unloveliness to the land. ‘Then I passed suddenly through the gateway into the estate of Mira mar ‘and the contrast was most im- pressive. The setting must have had in it great possibilities even before it was improved, but much of the beauty today flows undoubtedly from work of skillful landscapers who were put to work with imperial Austrian funds in 1854, when Maximilian was getting this wonderland ready for his princess. A great ridge sweeps down from the top of the Karst, perhaps a thousand feet above, and thrusts its point out into the sea. “In contrast to the bare slopes nearby, this ridge is covered with eyergreens of a deep, rich hue, and on the tip of it Maximillan raised his castle, part of it virtually hanging over the sea. On the side farthest from Trieste is an idyllic little harbor with its miniature breakwaters. The tower of the castle rises sheerly on the sea side to a height of more than 2 hundred feet. It, as well as the rest of the castle, is of white marble, which gleams on one side against the deep blue Adriatic and on the other against the dark-green cypresses. Witchery Lies in Gardens. “The castle itself is most attractive, but the real witchery of Miramar lies in its wondrous gardens and in the superb views of sea and rocky shore that are to be had from each of the windows and many of the nooks of the grounds. Pergolas and arbors which might be measured almost by the acre spread over an amphitheater- like space that runs inland along a sort of bay in the ridge. “Much of the level ground was un- doubtedly made laboriously by the hand of man. There are avenues of firs and various hedge plants; winding paths, Summer houses, benches and | bread marble steps with heavy balus- | trades, masses of westaria, formal plots of roses, geraniums, nastur- tiums, palms and ornamental grasses; fotintains, ponds, stone vases and urns and exquisite little statuettes backed by glossy green leaves. These gar dens are cared for as meticulously by the staff of Italian gardeners of today &s ever they could have been by the most careful of Austrians. “Beyond the tiny harbor is a little bathhouse. In front of it the rough- .est of bowlders that line the shore have been cleared away, leaving a delightful little beach of shingle. There Archduchess Charlotte during the brief days of her happiness bathed with her ladies-in-waiting. Seaside Attractive. “The seaside of Miramar presents one of its most attractive aspects. A narrow baleony skirts the outer wall | and from this little bracketed ex- tensions hang directly over the water. On smaller brackets below the bal- cony are pots of ornamental plants. One’s ears are met by the constant cheerful lapping of the waves of the Adriatic as they swish past outlying bowlders and by the staccato click of the bits of shingle as they are turned over against their fellow: “One's_first impression of the in- terfor of Miramar is disappointing.

On reaching home he was greeted with a side, however, he finds himself in a room from which a grand stairway leads to the upper chambers. ““Most of the castle on the entrance level was given over to guardrooms and quarters for Maximilian's at- tendants. One interesting feature of this floor is the chapel of the arch duke and archduchess. It is dark and_gloomy to simulate the Chapel of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem Sumptuous Rooms Upstairs. “Upstairs one finds sumptuous rooms not hinted at by the rather austere entrance floor. There is a huge throne room, state and family dining rooms, a living room, smoking room and audience hall. Charlotte’ private quarters have an appealing | interest. Adjoining her bedroom is a large bathroom equiped with bath- tub carved from marble, at the upper end a marble shelf. ‘One feels no twinges of Babbitry when he reflects that millions of Americans have a greater luxury for their baths than did Charlotte in this cramped, shal- low little marble trough, iramar’s interior suffered at the time of my visit from the fact that when the Austrians evacuated the Trieste region they cut from their frames all the valuable canvases and took also most of the furniture. The Italian Government has succeeded in having a great deal of the furniture returned, but this had not been re- placed in the castle. There is no assurance that the pictures will be | returned to their former settings. “All was luxury when Miramar was the home of Maximilian and Charlotte. One realizes it with every view of the wonderful gardens with their works of art, and with every sight of the matchless seascapes he realizes it as he stands In the elaborate throne room or glimpses the conveniences of the informal quarters. The final | touchi he finds in the living room on the sea side of the castle. Great windows open off toward the sea and Trieste on its point in the distance. The glass in_one side of the main window is a delicate blue, for peace- ful moods, on gathers, The glass in the other half of the window is tinted a delicate rose, affording an outlook | on the world of which the unfortunate | mistress of Miramar knew little after | her brief sojourn in this Adriatic paradise.” There a group rol of the { | Vigorand Experience Happily Combined AT THE FEDERAL - AMERICAN Everything Financial On big jobs a man must keep fit MADE HARD- SHIPS EASY IN CANADIAN WILDS member of a survey party, sent he government of British to do subdivision work rep s that throughout the trip the men relied upon Sloan’s. “The chief brought along as a part of our first-aid supply a bot- tle of Sloan’s Liniment,” he writes. nd through wecks of exposure and hardship we found it our best help for sprains, bruises, stiff muscles and rheumatism.” Sloan's gives real relief because it doesn’t just deader. the pain.

The Stu dent Union maintained that these were Japanese fish and that they could not be sold in Foochow, although the American merchant had consular in voices to show they were shipped from America. ‘About a year ago the military gov- ernor of the province, Gen. Chow, gained control over this group with the aid of a Christian Chinese teacher, whose death was recently reported from Foochow. This young man went to the governor, pleading for appoint- ment as a specfal deputy, saying that | he would be able to bring the ring- | leaders of the Blood and Iron Band | under arrest. This he did one day, single-handed bringing in four of the leaders. With these men in jail, the situation quieted down. A month ago, however, when the southern army in- vaded Foochow and the northern arm was driven out, these men were evi dently released. It is a frequent cus tom when one army is being driven out of a city for it to leave the jails unguarded, with the result that in- mates are allowed their freedom. ks we capital threate is growi e of BISHOP" SYRACUS 2 Y 20 (P Mrs. Wallace Brown, wife Bishop Brown of the Methodist Epis copal Church, has been forced to flee | from her home in Ioochow, China J and has joined other refugees at | Shanghai, according to word received by members of the family here today Bishop Brown remains at his pos | as head of the Chinese missions de- | | spite the constantly more threatening |aspect of the anti-foreign rioters in the Foochow area.
