BUCC of Tui : BEE.J Nothing so well clears
up the hazy Ideas of tbo ayorago Amorloan In
regard to distances butwoon important Euro
pean points as a journey over tUo territory
Itself. I must acknowledge that to mo It was
ijulto a surprise to learn that the fin test express -
press requires twenty-six hours to go from
Purls to Vienna , wlillo a more leisurely trip
must have a correspondingly lengthened
duration. It was not only for convonlonoo In
traveling but nlso in order to sea tun Inter
vening country that wo Interrupted the jour
ney by stopping at a number of interesting
places.
After eight hours' continuous ride Parts
was loft far bohlnd , tbo vurdurod fields of
nastorn Franca had given way to the moun
tainous heights of Switzerland , and a halting
place at Biula was reached. OaUa is the
northern gateway to the Alps. It has m-
talncd to a curtain extant Its appearance of
antiquity and has within Us borders several
objects of Interest to travelers. But I shall
remember it not so much for those as for the
picturesque sccno given by the rising moon ,
tracing the outlines of Its round orb In the
waters of the Khtno , which at the sunie tlino
redacted the Illumination of lines of smaller
gaslights from the bridges stretching across
the rivor. The road to Lucerne loads through
k most charming and attractive mountain re
gion , and tbo scenery around Lucerne Itself
has mndo that place ono of the most cele
brated summer roiorU in Europe. Thus far
this season , however , the cool weather has
kept away many who bad Intended to sojourn
thoro. Few travelers go as far as Lucaruo
without continuing up the far-fainod Itlgl ,
from which the view is said to bo peerless lu
Huropo. A sunrise seen from Its summit
Is a prlzo . which annually induces
multitudes to spend at least one night at the
top. Hut in this lottery conouctcil by nature ,
the prizes , especially In mid summer , are few
ind the blanus many. Unfortunately wa
tvoro among the great majority who regu
larly draw blanks and were enveloped iu
rain and snow the entire tlmo which wo
ipent on the mountains. Yet the disappoint
ment was somewhat lessoned by glimpses of
exquisite iconory , caught now aud tbon as
wo rode up and down the wonderful ooggod
railway , a marvel of modern engineering. A
iteauiboat rldo on Lake S5ug and a short trip
by rail brought us to Zurich , perhaps most
Interesting on account of its historic associa
tion with the work of the reformer Zwlngll.
From Zurich wo continued through the
treat Arlborg tunnel and across the
Austrian frontier. At Ducht the customs
offlclals wont very politely through the
formality of inspecting our luggage which
had already passed under the eyes of six dif
ferent scti of similar ofllcors. in uono of
these custom houses was any serious incon-
voulonco suffered , not oven In crossing a
trip of the dreaded Alsace. The Inspections
are for the most part , merely formal ; tbo
British soaroh after cigars and tobacco was
Iho most thorough , and coming as
| l did , at 2 o'clock in the morning , at the
lime tlmi the most disagreeable. After
safely passing six , only two more custom
house spectres remain to harass the antici
pations of future travel. E-ccopt for the
coustms inspection , tbo Austrian boundary
is like other state linos. The scenery changes
only gradually ; snow capood mountains are
rnoro numerous In the Tyrol than in northern
Switzerland but the character of the build
ings niters little by little. For a short dis
tance , wooden fences make their appearance ,
the llrst scon since crossing the Atlantic.
Innspruok , the capital of tbo Tyrol , is a
qualut old city , its streets lined for miles
with buildings of solid masonry , covering
the sidewalks with tnelr ope- Gothic arch
ways. Wo have nil probably soon pictures
of the Tyrolese In their bright colored
national costume perhaps soon some of
those making concert tours in the United
States ; but all expectation of finding the
pcoplo similarly clad in the place where tboy
are at homo must bo cast aside. Outside of
a feather in tno hat , the Tyrolese hnvo
adapted themselves to the clothes of ordinary
mortals , and the sight of ono dressed in
national costume is now almost as ruro as
that of an Indian in war paint In our western
states. Tno aisles of the old Innspruck
cathedral are lined with horoio bronze statues
of various storied personages , and I noticed
that of the fabled King Arthur standing
close to the more authentic Rudolph of Haps-
burg. In the transept Is the sarcophagus of
Emperor Maximilian I. , with beautifully
carved bas-reliefs on every side. Maximilian
was ono of the few great Hnpsburgs whoso
body was not Interred in the impori.i
vault hero in Vienna. The mountains rise
like lofty walls in crescent shape about
Innspruck , the open sldo allowing space for
the railroad to enter and depart.
All along to Salzburg the tram passes
through deep mountain valleys or darts in
and out of tunnels wherever its passage
seems blocked. In the minds of the Silz-
burgers , the fact that Mozart was born and
lived in their city scorns to ba its main attrac
tion. Tnoy have a Mozart museum , a largo
sign designates the composer's birthplace ,
every shop has some of its wares displayed
as momontocs of the great musician. But
there are also other interesting features , the
cUtcf of which is the old archlopiscopal
palaco-fortross , known as Hohon Salz
burg. It is situated on ono of
the encircling mountains and Is reached
by a sloop ascent formerly well
guarded by frequent and
gates watoh-tow-
ors. TUo old dungeon and instruments of
torture are still shown , as well us the arch-
blshous1 apartment , which oven now would
bo by most people considered palatial.
Twenty thousand dollars are said to have
been offered for a single majolica steve richly
relieved with numerous modeled llgures.
As wo go on towards Vienna , the moun
tains gradually disappear. The hills , too ,
dwindle down but again become more pre
tentious as wo near tbo city. Tbo suburbs
seem to bo loss numerous than Is usual about
a largo population center. It is over a week
since tUo last outlines of Paris faded from
view. Vienna , its rival In beauty and
gaiety , appears on the horizon. At llrst
gllmpso Iho latter boars comparison exceed
ingly well , but closer inspection shows that
it is neither lad ! out on tbo aamo grand scale
nor built lu tuo same substantial manner as
the French metropolis. Vienna is character
istic of itself aud uuod not aspire to rivalry
with Paris.
Vienna Is pro-eminontly a city of stucco
and artlllclal stono. lu newer buildings
have boon erected in tolld blocks , ordinarily
four or live stories In height. The walls aru
of brick : the front covered with stucco
forms an imitation of stone which Is liable to
deceive an expert , The stucco makes so
good an appearance and withstands ton
weather so well thau. buildings of real stone
are neldoui constructed , This veneering is
by no moans conlluod to an artificial repre
sentation of sandstone , for granite nnd pol
ished martlo have also to a great extent been
supplanted by I'cltlfu 17 cxecuUd imitations.
M my tnagnllicont b oek * are bring e-ooted
11 over the ally , but tht most substantial
aud handsomest building in all Vienna la now
being completed by the Equitable Llfo In
surance company of Now York.
All the public buildings arj on a grand and
elaborate scale , and most of them arc located
in close proximity to ono another
separated only by publiu squntos. This
massing of monumental structures on ono
great thoroughfare is decidedly impressive ,
as well as convenient. Buildings for munici
pal , as also these for imperial purpose , uro
here close together. At ono sldo stands the
now imperial Burg tb'jitor , tbo tlnost of the
kind in the world. The separate entrances
for thoomperor und for the other members of
the imperial family respectively , are most
gorgeously decorated with gilded stucco and
polished walls and columns , line draparios ,
beautiful paintings und tasteful statuary.
The public lover is on almost the same grand
scale , while frescoes by noted artists portray
the historical dovcloptnontof the drama. The
auditorium has live balconies and seats -,7U ( )
people. The whole interior is of iron , though
on the surface its appearance is that of vari
ous polished marbles.
Opposite the theater , yet at some little distance
tance- from it , is the Ituthhaus or city hull.
In contrast to the surrounding buildings of
classic nrchitccture , it has been designed in
Gothic style aud is surmounted in the cnntor
by n lofty splro. It is u huge structure , nt
least four hundred feet square , and with
seven largo open courts in the interior. Be
sides the handsome chamber of the munici
pal council , which , by the way , is lilted with
a gallery to accommodate the general public
who are rigidly kept off of tlu main lloor ,
there is a moderately largo public hall util
ized for meetings or various associations of
working men and citizens. For the annual
municipal festivities a magnificent b nquot-
Ing hall has been provided which , together
with several smaller dining rooms , affords
space for the entertainment of iMi ! , ( ) ) guests at
n tlmo , while even more can comtortably par
ticipate in the dancing.
The external architectural effect of the
parliament house sin-puses any similar
structure which I have thus tar scon In Eu-
ropo. It is rectangular and classic in stylo.
In the center a largo pediment with ullogori-
cal statuary is supported by a double row of
ilutod Corinthian columns whllo smaller pad-
Imonts uro found on the projecting exten
sions at each corner. A frlozo encircles the
top of the main structure and is sot oil nt the
angles by hugh bronso chariots and by other
figures. The entrance loads to a laigo re
ception hall with marble walls and rows of
pollsned columns of similar material In the
design of the interior of an old Grcok temple.
The wings to the right und loft of the hull
nru nearly alike in arrangement. The lower
house occupies one side , the upper the other.
The tno legislative chambers differ only in
size , ono accomodatlng over : i.W members ,
tbo other about JOO. The room Is scnil-clicu-
Jar in formthe circumference lined with mas-
slvo maibio columns in front of which the
members1 seats rail la to lu tiers down toward
the platform of the president. In the lower
house , its two vice-presidents are assigned
seats to the right and left of the presiding of-
ilcer. The imperial ministers are ox-otllclo
members of both branches of tbo legislature
and have seats directly in front of the presi
dent and facing the mombars. All are pro-
Tided with desks ample for convenient writ-
Ing. The bull is lighted through u beautiful
fan shaped colling of stained glass. There
are two galleries for the public , ono above
the other , supported by the columns running
around the circular sldo of tbo ehambor.
Tickets of admission are required , but no
distinction is made between men and women
visitors. The newspaper reporters have a
particular part of tbo gallery sot aside for
tholr Uie. There are no cloak rooms , merely
hat and umbrella racks in the corridors.
But the committee rooms are something
superb , beautifully frescoed and titled with
elegant furniture. Since the emperor opens
the reichstag in his own palace , ho has no
private rooms in the parliament house , but
thu Imperial ministers are given tholr own
grand apartments.
But Vienna ha * been described tlmo nnd
time again. It has undoubtedly the fastest
public vehicles of any city In the world , but
what Is mote important to American travel
ers , it has in Colonel Fred Grant , one of the
most painstaking and accommodating ministers -
tors of ull these who represent the Unitou
States abroad. Colonel ( /rant with bis full
board now boars a striking resemblance to
the pictures of his father , the gro it com
mander , just after the war. In b a manner ,
he is aftnole , reserved , yet plain spoken and
vtell Informed on all leading topics that eta
corn people on both sides of thu Atlantic. Ilo
aud bis family , whoso hospitality , I had tbo
honor to enjoy one evening last weolc , live in
republican simplicity. TlielV rooms uro dec
orated with pictures , flags , trophies , und
ni'jmcntoos in a style qftcn found among oiir
artnr Oillccr * . Mrs. Until is n olwrinlns
conversationalist ; she shows an Intense interest -
terost in American affairs , particularly the
forthcoming exposition nt Chicago and the
pjlitical oullook of Ibo republican party for
lh'.U. Although tboy boast of no greit
wealth , the Grants bv their name and ofllci'il '
station , take rank wi'.h Uu > highest at the
Austrian court. They uro well satlslled
with their position , especially Miss Grant , a
young miss in her teens , who , in a letter to
the daughter of Minister Lincoln , at the time
of the appointment of bur lather , gave us the
reason for her contentment iho fact th it in
Vienna alone oC all European cipitals ! > the
xvat.'r lit to itnnIt , tin urllclo which ,
on uccount of strictly temperate -
ate habits , is to her un absolute
necessity. Her only brotner , Ulysses Simp
son Grant u bright young man of 11 , who
wears a military uniform on occasions ai-.d
hopes to enter West Point in duo couiso of
time , is equally well satisfied with "his" ap
pointment to the court of Austiia.
As in France the historical associations of
the Bourbon monarchy clustorjabont Louis
XIV. , so In Austria the glory of the empire
is connected with the rolgnsof Marie Theresa
und her son Joseph II. It was in her time
that the imperial pilaco ut Schonbrunn was
erected , following the example sot by the
French sovereign at Vorsaillns. The Aus
trian palace lias ono advantage in that it is
still the resilience of Iho emperor at certain
periods of ouch year and Is uocessurily kept
in constant repair. The si/a of the rooms
and tbo inagriilicenco of the d''coiatinns Im
press the visitor mojt forcibly. The banquet
hall almost equals in grandeur the crystal
hall at VoMiilllm in which ICinp William of
Prussia in lb l was ciownod emperor. His
torically the palace Is important by reason of
its use by the llrt Napoleon during his Aus
trian campaign. In this s.imc building , and
in the very room , occupied by the gieat
conqueror , bis son , tbo young duke of iielch-
studt , breathed his last some twenty odd
years later and was laid to rest in
the imperial vault under the Capucin
church in Vienna , whore lilt of the
Hapsburg family have boon interiod. And
near his sarcophagus was placed In after
years , the body of that other unfortunate
and ill fated Hapsburg , Maximilian , emperor
of Mexico , who lost his life in a vain endeav
or to .satisfy the ambition of Napoleon III.

The fancy for yellow is carried out in many
natty gowns both for seaside nnd mountain
] near.
| If women tried half as hard to reform
men's dress as men do to loform ionnnlno
apparel , what , n masculine howl there would
bo ijight away.
, The skirt will boa little longer , decidedly
morn scanty nnd as much closer as the Inge-
ultv of drcastna'wrs can smooth It. A sillc
stocking lit on an attenuated woman is the
deal of all ureas nrtists.
| , So-iio of the models for dress bonnets for
! naxt season aio nbaurdlv small. There are
| I really very few women who can successfully
, wear u small , close , toy bonnet , perched like
I a butterfly on the crown or Iho head.
Fringes ot silk or cut Jot , shaped to deep
points front and back and tapering narrowly
on the sides , uro much used to form basques
to bodices Stour , women like thcso fringes
ncttor than the basqun of lace not , or kilts of
material matching the dress.
For early autumn wear , to replace the worn
gunnontsof the summer .season , the Importers
have already presented to view some very
hanasomo light India woolens , in various ele
gant tones , that will uo quite in harmony
wilh Iho chilly days of the fall season.
The greatest novelty of the season just
now consists of thin silk blouse waists which
are made of almou any color of soft , pliable
silk. Uow-tall rod , coral rod , water green ,
emerald green , palo green , orange and the
delicate shades of blue are the favorites.
The Marie Antoinette lichu is very popular
this season , and importers say that Parisians
attribute its origin to tho' actual scarfs ,
beithas , und capes worn by Marie Antlonetto
u she played at sliaptierdcss in the plcasurn
grounds ot Franco , attended by the ladles of
tno court.
Velvet-striped silks nnd these bordered
with raised velvet figures will bo much used
next season for gay-houso dresses madu with
plain skirts and pointed b ullcos , or coat
basques with rich vesta , thu bodice with full
sleeves with wrist trimmings und picturesque
collars of dark velvet.
The most elegant hankcrchlofs now are all
wnito. The- are trimmed with whlto Inco
and embroidery , with an edge of Valenciennes
lace fully u linger wide surrounding Iho open
horn. The old fashioned style of setting lace
nnd embroidery In the corner of Imudkor-
chlcts bus come In again.
Pink , blue , mauve , and cream-white India

fuvontu material this MJUSOII foryoungladles'

fabric , but of a deeper lone.
At a very swell Engllsn wedding which

The first autumn gowns that will appear
will boot lovely woven work , clinging camel's
hair tweeds , cheviots , vlvoguus , and homespun -
spun Lincolnshire suitings , Harris cloth.
Kronen cheviots In neutral tints , with tufts
of camel's hair In rich contrasting colors and
black work , with raised blocks and disks of

Ono of the preferred garnitures for rich
autumn dresses will bo the new luces In large
raised designs such us Richelieu Inco , English
guipure nnd superb mosalqno. These trim-
mines will bo used Hut as borderlngs , us
panolonds on slashed skirts , and on the bodice
in the guise of vests , capo collars , Medici
fralio.s , aud cuffs.
With the approach of the autumn season
the parasol of lace , chiffon , and other ultra-
drcsay styles will bo discarded In favor of
tbo plainer canopies of silk , shot with two
colors gold and dahlia , green and amber ,
