VIENNA, March 8.—(New York World Cablegram—S8pecial Telegram.)—Archduch- ess Marla Josepha, the first lady in Aus- tria, though nmot yet 35 years old, wears a Jook of settled sadness on her beautiful ce. She presides at the splendid court eremenials with a winning grace that h endeared her to all Austriaps, but her mile is full of a pathetic and appealing melancholy. Mother of the future emperor, the con- eort of Prince Otto Is yet one of the un- happlest princesses in Burope. The Influ- ence of the emperor himself is all has kept her from leaving her husband and it s well known that she is a sacrifice to the ‘welfare of the state. At least three times she has been hardly dissuaded from suing for divorce because of her husband’s ill- treatment of her. It is she who opens all the court balls which so astonish visitors, nmot only by their magnificence, but also by the early hours prescribed. At 7:30 the guests begin to arrive, though the ball room 1is mnot thrown open till 8:30. The arrival of the Tord chamberlain at 9 o'clock is the signal that the imperial party approaches. A ‘wave of his staff of ofce clears a pathway o the middle of the room and, preceded by the master of ceremonies, the emperor, conducting the archduchess, appears. While she holds court among the ladies, the ruler mingles with hi young girls are to be presented to:th duchess, Otto receives them in an adjoin- ing audience room. ‘With the first walts, under the direction of Johaun Strauss of the third generatios, o a ot fieet: number two absol; that, while it is in the ploture, is not of the festlvity she dominates.

The gorilla was Killed after a fight lasting twenty minutes, in which the keeper was so horribly mangled that he dled five hours after. The famous gorilla was named Francols. He was one of the largest species and al- ways had been perfectly tractable, showing especial affection for his keeper, a man named Journoux, until the latter married a few weoks ago. The bride od the Zoo often and the gorilla was sensitive about the attention she showed him. When he perceived that she undoubtedly referred his keeper Fran- cols became more and more jealous and finally Journoux found it fmpossible to ap- proach the gorilla, and especially when Mrs. Journoux In sight. Two days ‘rancols was so suily and quiet that the keeper thought he was sick and entered the cage to comfort him. The gorilla immediately sprang upon the keeper. Journoux held a short tamer's fork, which alone accounts for the fight lasting 80 long. It being dinner time, all the other keepers had withdrawn to a distant ty. Only three children witnessed the terrible fight and they were so frightened they failed to teteh help untfl Journoux had succeeded in escaping from the cage. The gorilla followed before the door could be shut and the duel was continued outside, from ome end of the bullding to the other, as Is shown by the bloodstains. Finally the children ran away velling. By the time help arrived the gorilla had been killed. The keeper was found with one eye torn out, rapidly losing blood from many wounds and laboriously trylng to crawl away on all fours. One hand had been completely chewed oft and the lower lip and part of the chin had been bitten off.

(Copyright, 192, by Press Publishing Co.) VIENNA, March 8.—(New York World N o fately 1n' the wine country along the Dan- near Krems, on a system invented the engineer of the X ‘works. The cannon were fired In two ways, up In the alr to a height varying between 1,600 and 2,000 neters to prevent the form- ing of ice.in the clouds, and horizontally, when a whirling air ring is formed, which prevents frost from touching the plants. The sclentific observation upon which these experi: re based is as follows: Prof. Kreuschner of Darmstadt arranged two poles of an electric current in a bowl of water in such & manner that one came up in the water nearly to the surface, the other came from above nearly to the sur- face, but without touching it. In the place where the two wire ends nearly met 8 fun- | was formed in the water, from out of which tiny drops of rain were thrown with violence. When the bowl was surrounded with a wall of paper it was found that the tiny water drops were gralns of lce— hail, in fact. This experiment always succeeds when the rrounding air is absolutely quiet. The slightest disturbance of the alr, a move- ment of the hand or heavy breathing, stops the forming of ice and drops of rain only fiy about. Just before a hailstorm begins there is absolute quiet is the air, an ominous stand- still of the atmosphere, and it is then that ice is formed in the clouds. The firing of cannon disturbs the air and prevents the forming of hail. In Windich Felstritz, in Styria, Mayor Stiger has taken the greatest interest in these experiments, and as early as 1897 he induced the community to establish thirty- six firing stations. Since that time Windich Felstritz has not seen hall, although many Qisastrous hatlstorms have occurred in the adjoining districts. The Italians have established more than 2,000 firing stations in the provinces bor- dering upon 'Austria. The king of Italy nt & week last summer, observing the effects.

MANIFESTATIONS OF DELIGHT ARE MANY Untelgned Heartiness—His Plans for Today. When Jan Kubelik, violin virtuoso, his graceful bow at Boyd's thester last night and drew his magio bow across the strings he played for an audience that filled the house from the chaire usually occupled by the orchestra to the remotest seat In the lofty gallery—and even for a few others who were in their own home blocks away, with thelr ears at their telephones. For his performance Kubelik's managers recelved $2,000, but the admission total was nearly $3,300 and the loeal committes of Bohemlans have, above all expenses about $800 as the nucleus of a fund with which it is proposed (o educate two stodents at Prague, where Kubelik studied. Kubelik 1s a Bohemian and it was. dis- tinctly a Bohemlian night. Everywhere were seen buttons bearing the violinist’s face and always with the red and white of his native land entwined about it. There were Bohemians In some of the boxes, all' over the lower floor and up to the roof, many of them confessedly in a theater for the first time in many, many years. But the applauding did mot devolve entirely upon them. It came spontaneously and from everywhere whenever Kubelfk paused, and it would not cease until he had appeared again and again, and played at lenst one encore, Soclety was there and was fired with a new delight that made dainty hands s active as the larger, rougher ones in expressing the common joy. There dignity in al demonstrations, however, and the nearest approach to an impassioned outburst was when a masculine voice far up in the balcony sang out a lusty “Brave!” Coming of the Crowd. The first Installment of the crowd came to the theater at 7 o’clock, but the doors were not opened until & half hour 8 o'clock carriages deposited tl set, and for the next twenty minutes the lobby of the theater was filled with those waiting to enter. Kubellk himself was ready before the crowd was. He came to the stage door promptly at 8 o'clock in company with the membera: of hiy party and his first words were "Hello, old man, I'm glad to see yuo," addressed to a friend who was awaiting him. A minute later he stepped into his dressing room, attended by his valet, bear- ing the invaluable violin and permitted the removal of his fur-lined overcoat and the derby hat that had covered his long black hair. His “primping” required less than a minute, and When he emerged his excellent fitting black dress suit was noted to bear not a single ornament other than a small { gold chain strung from one pocket of his vest to the other.. His cheery smile was constant and his cordiality so general as to incorporate even the colored guardian ot the stage door. - Kubelik Before Golng On. His valet brought him his violin and bow and the virtuoso took them as tenderly and lovingly as a mother would her babe. But he did not sound a note until back in his Cressiug room with the door shut. There he drew the bow gently across the etrings less than a dozen times—and was ready. But the crowd was not, for the tardy ones had not been taken to thelr seats and Kubellk was forced to wait. He paced rapldly back aud forth behind the scenery and bhis flogers were ever on the strings, ' twitching nervously. The smile faded from his lips, a slight perspiration stirted and ‘when he spoke at all it was a hurried whis: per-and the words were Bohemian. .The strain was telling and fioally he walked, almost ran, to Julius Skrivan, the calm old Impressario who ‘“discovered” him three years ago when he was In his 1pth year and who has been with him con- stantly ever since, both In Europe and America. Skrfvan understood and grasped the hand (it was the left) which the boy extended to him and heid it firmly for some minutes, rubbing the fingers just emough to accelerate the circulation. Kubelik's lip parted in a smile that forever refuted the tlon that “he has never loved” and became calmer. Even the foot encased in daloty slippers cut so low that above the knotted ribbon was displayed several inches of his drop-stitched hose, ceased to pat (he floor so mervously and he thrust his instrument between his knees to adjust a bridge that already seemed as correctly righted as a bridge could ever be, Stands Like = Soldier. When all was still jn the suditorium, Mr. Gorlits, managing the tour for Daniel Frohman, beckoned Kubellk and the boy faced the stage like a soldler with head erect and shoulders back. His fingers twitched harder than ever and the smile bad again vanished, but he was calm and when he stepped out into the glare of the lights it was with a firm step that brought @ sigh of both pride and relief from his friends in the wings. From that moment Kubellk was master, not only of himself, but of all about him. A wave of applause swept up to him in gree! ing, another and even louder one follow lat his first pause, and when, twenty-five minutes after he went on, he came back into the wings the auditors were sending after bim the roar of such a demonstration as has Dot been heard in the theater in years. And Kubellk was happy. His smile was radiant and through the rest of t evening he laughed and joked with all about him and the boyishness of his nature was uppermost. Weleome from Countrymen. After his first number a floral lyre, the gift of Bohemians of Omabs, was placed upon the stage and formally presented by Miss Helen Paullk. After the third number he was contronted on bis way back inte the wings by Mids Annle Kotera and Miss Mary Kucers. The former recited in Bohemian & poem of welcome written for the occasion by Rev. J. Vranek, pastor of the Bohemian church of Omaha. The latter spoke briefly for the Catholic societies of Omaba and gave a handsome boquet to Mr. Freml, the accompanist.
