A secret liaison means in the end every inconvenience and disadvantage of mar- rlage without any of its conveniences and rdvantages. It means endless discomfort, worry and alarm. It means constant sneaking and subterfuges of the paltriest, pettiest kind. The only objection to telling fibs is that you get found out. Not if you arrange things not perhaps exactly as they were, but as they ought to have been. In that way a lie becomes a sort of idealized and essential truth. Since his arrival in this country Hall Caine, the English novelist, who came to see the dramatic production of his “The Christlan,” has attracted no end of com- ment regarding his eccentric_appearance on the streets and the odd wearing ap- parel that he displays. The latest story going the rounds, that the Manxman re- sembles Christ in_his appearance, has prompted Leander Richardson to observe: “I don’t know that Hall Caine is respon- sible for the industrious circulation of the report that he bears a close resemblance | to the Savior, but the idea must have | originated in some highly imaginative | mind, for it is utterly without foundation | in fact. In reality Mr. Caine looks like a inged Irish terrier. His get-up is spec- acular, There is no doubt that in the field of fiction Mr. Caine is among the most powerful writers of the time, but what he needs is a shave and a hair cut and a rational suit of clothes.” is that Chester Fernald, the author of “The Cat and the Cherub,” has written a FRED J.

Poor-Carlotta still drags out her existence in a madhouse. ‘Then followed the death of their sec- ond cousin, mad King Ludwig of ‘Ba< varia, who drowned himself and the at: tendant who tried to save him in the Tegernsee. During all this Austria was experiencing great political trou- bles, which ended in the fall of Aus- trian power on 'the field of Sadowa. | The Empress has done more by her | sympathy with Magyar ideas to avoid | open revolution and to attach the peo- ple of Hungary to the dynasty than all the schemes of statesmen. . The de- monstrations of affection for the impe- rial couple at the celebration of*their silver wedding in 1879 will always be remembered. The Emperor said to Dr. von Smolka | at the time of the Crown Prince's death: “How much I owe to my wife in these days of bitterness and what a support she has proved to me I can- not describe. It was the terrible death of her only son that told so greatly on the health of the Empress and obliged her to travel constantly in search of the peace which she has only just found. The mystery of Rudolph's death has been discussed and explained in many ways, but I think it 1s now generally conceded that he and the poor Baroness Marie Vecsera met their death at the hands of her uncle. She was engaged to be married to her un- cle and her family greatly approved of the match. She, however, cared noth- ing for him and announced her inten- tion of going to Meyerling with the Crown Prince. Her uncle told her it she did so he would kill them botn, and as she persisted he carried out his threat. She was carried at midnight, clad only in a wrapper, by her uncle to the convent of the Nuns of St. Croix at Heiligenkreuf, near Voslan and bu- ried. The only witness of the deed was the coachman, who was induced by large sums of money to leave the country and who died within the year. It was evidently thought safer to get rid of him. It seems strange that a cousin of Ru- dolph’s widow, Prince Baldwin of Flan- ders, whose brother recently visited the | United States, should have been found dead in as mysterious circumstances. In this case the wild young Prince, who was heir to the Belgian throne and ne- phew of the present King, was sup- posed to have met his death at the hands of his uncle for not showing suf- | ficient respect for a lady the King ad- mired. Among stage!: Here is the London .Sun. saving that “Bella - Pateman was. smart and handsome as the fashionable Mrs. Els- mere.” HE tragic death of the Empress of Austria startled and horrified the whole world, but especially those who, like that unfortunate lady, wers ‘seeking health’ and -recreation -in:_beautiful Switzer- land. The rumor .which was spread around the lake on September 10 seemed an impossible one, especially to us who live in sight of the hotel at| Caux, where her Majesty was staying. ' Few people who saw the svelte figure | and youthful face of the Empress onxy‘ a week ago on the shores of the Lake | of Geneva would have believed that she was in her sixty-first year. The most beautiful woman of her time, whose wealth of golden hair and regular fea- tures were renowned and whose viva- clous and amiable expression and no- ble character told the story of the af- fection in which she was held by her people. The Empress was the second daugh- ter of Duke Maximilian Joseph of Ba- \ varia, and_was born In the romantic castle of Possenhofen, on the lake of Starnberg. Her mother, Duchess Lu- | dovica Wilhelmina, was a sister of Princess Sophia of Bavaria, who was the mother of Emperor Francis Jo- | seph. A marriage was practically arranged | between Francis Joseph, who was then | only 23 years old, and the eldest daugh- | ter of Duke Maximilian Joseph when | the young Prince was sent to the cas- | tle of Possenhofen to make the ac- quaintance of his future bride. The | Prince dismissed his carriage and at- | tendants on the borders of the forest, | intending to finish his journey on foot. After a short walk he found himself on the shores of the lake of Starnberg with the prospect of a long detour if he could not find some one to carry him across. Fortunately, he discov- ered a young girl in a boat near the | shore. He hailed her and she con- | sented to take him agross. He was | much struck by her extraordinary beauty and, concealing his identity, | talked to her all the way over. Great was his surprise when she was presented to him that night as his Cou- sin Elizabeth. From that moment he abandoned his suit with her elder sis. ter, who was greatly disappointed and has never recovered from it. At a ball given at Ischl the 16th of August, 1853, the Emperor never left the side of the Princess Elizabeth and at the end of‘ the evening he emphasized his atten- | tions by presenting her with a superb | bouquet.
