M no tlmo In tlio history of the contest
between the people anil the corporations lias
the question of railroad regulation been
looked upon with no much Interest In Ne
ImisUa than during the past eighteen
months Ono year ago last March the Ne
braska legislature , after many failures and
nfler a bitter struggle , succcailcd In passing
n law fix ng a maximum rate of charges to
bo levied by railroad companies doing busi
ness In the state. These rales , of course ,
applied only to local freight traffic , which ,
ns all who are thoroughly conversant with
the nature of railroad business In this state
know , forms but a small percsntage of the
entire volume of business transacted by the
railroad corporations now operating In Ne
braska. And yet. In spite of the fact that
the Interstate trafflc which constituted more
than three-fourths of the business of Ne
braska roads was not affected In the slightest
degree by the proposed maximum rate law ,
the railway managers bent every effort to
prevent the passage of the bill. The man
agers themselves appeared before the house
of representatives and the senate and made
formal arguments against the proposed legis
lation. The general solicitors made similar
arguments. The members of both branches
of the legislature who had been elected by
railroad Inllucncc , stood up before the people
ple and argued with well simulated earnest
ness , but with Ill-concealed Interest , against
the proposal to restrict the exactions of
the railroads , and the corridors of the state
house swarmed with the paid lobbyists
who endeavored by persuasion , threats and
attempted bribery to defeat the objects
of the people. That the bill was not de
feated was duo only to the steady , un
swerving , Incorruptible loyalty of eighteen
members of the senate , who stood like so
many stone sentries between the people and
the corporate Interests.
It Is not the purpose of this article to re
view the history of that memorable struggle
or of the subsequent efforts of the railroad
corporations to defeat the legislation thus
enacted by an appeal to the federal courts
It Is simply referred to brielly by way of
Introduction to the subject matter which Is
to come. The ono point made by the oppo
nents of the maximum rate law was that
the railroad companies were already unable
by reason of excessive competition , extraor
dinary expenses , Immense fixed charges
and low rates , to pay even Interest on their
legitimate Indebtedness , to say nothing about
dividends on stock.
The reply to this plea come with direct
ness and with perfect truthfulness from the
chimplons of the measure. It was answered
that If the railroads were unable to pay In
terest and dividends It was not because of
competition or low rates. The real cause of
their failure was the outgrowth of the Illegal ,
fraudulent and totally unwarrantable prac
tice of. stock watering and the creation of
fictitious Indebtedness.
There Is not a railroad president In the
United States who will candidly admit to
the public that the stock of his company Is
\vatored. He will not concede for an In
stant that a single dollar of his company's
Indebtedness Is of a fictitious nature. IIo
will ma'ntaln strenuously that the stock and
bonds Issued by his company represent
the actual cost of construction , equipment ,
renewals and repairs and that the affairs
of his company have been managed with
the strictest regard for the rights of the
patrons.
fortunately , railroad presidents themselves
sometimes fall out and It Is then that the
public Is enabled to obtain Heeling glimpses
of the closely guarded secrets of the direc
tory room.
ILLEGITIMATE I'UACTICES.
Tor several years past there has been pend
ing In the district and supreme courts of Ne
braska a case embodying In Its details the
entire field of railroad construction , equip
ment , operation , and , It may bo added , de-
mornlUiUIan. Although this case has at
tracts ! bill small attention , It Is a complete
expose of the Illegitimate practices of rail-
rend manipulators In the United States.
It tears the veil from the hypocrisy of Wall
street and uncovers to the public gaze the
full nature of the foundation for the rotten
superstructure of modern railroad opera
tion. As a record of legalized robbery of
the people It stands supremo. It will bo dif
ficult to review In a single article adapted
to the columns of The Dee all the features
of the controversy of the case of John
PIUROrald against the Kltzgerald-Mallory
Construction company and the Missouri Pa-
clllo railway company and others , but
enough can bo shown to give the people
of Nebraska something of nn Insight Into
the methods of modern railway construc
tion and operation. This case was decided
In favor of the plaintiff by the supreme
court a few weeks since.
John ritzgcrald Is welt known to the people
ple of Nebraska as a railroad builder. IIo
has probably built more miles of railroad In
the west than any ono man , and at ono
tlmo ho had amassed a fortune by his opera
tions , and la still reputed ono of the wealth
iest men In the state. In 1SSG Mr , Fitz-
Eorald transferred the scene of his largo
operations from Nebraska to Kansas. FormIng -
Ing a copartnership with S. II Mallory of
Iowa , ho undertook the construction of a
line of railroad through southern Kansas
from the eastern boundary of the statct to
the Colorado lino. This road was
at first known as the Denver , Mem
phis & Atlantic , and was ostensibly
organized as an original enterprise by
parties who contemplated a line fiom I'ueblo ,
Colo. , to Memphis , Tenn. That the company
Vas really a creation of the Missouri Paclllc
Hallway company will bo developed by atten
tion to the details of the project.
On April 28. 1SS6 , ritzgcrald and Mallory
entered Into a contract with the Denver ,
Memphis & Atlantic Kiillrouil company. In
that contract they agreed to construct the
Una from ono end of Kansas to the other.
They were to furnish all material and money ,
to do all the grading on the right of way ,
which was also to bo paid for by themselves ,
furnish the rails , ties , etc , , build all bridges ,
depots , sheds , sidetracks , eto. In addition
to bulldlnc the road Fitzgerald and Mallory
ncreed to equip the line with rolling stock
to the value of J 1,000 per mile ns fast as
the road was completed. Tor compensation
they were to recelvo the stocks and bonds
of the now company at the rate of $10,000
per mile of capital Block and $10,000 per mile
of first mortgage bonds. In addition to this
remuneration Fitzgerald and Mallory were to
recclvo all the bonds voted by county and
municipal covernmrnts along the line of
the proposed road In aid of the enterprise.
THE COST OF CONSTUUCTION.
So far there was nothing In the contract
that would open the eyes of the public as
to the cost of railway construction and equip
ment. The public has been taught to be-
llovo that a western railroad running over
the prulrlo cannot bo constructed and
equipped for leas than from (30,000 to $35-
000 ixr mile.
llut mark what the foolish M mi. FiU-
ccrnld anil Mallory did. They signed an
other contracts on May 4 , J886 , Just nix days
after they signed the flrnt contract. The
second contract was with the president ol
the Missouri Pacific , the late Jay Gould. Ij )
this contract Tltzgerald and Mallory agreci !
to surrender to the Missouri Pacific nil the
stock and bonds of the proposed Denver ,
Memphis & Atlantic Hallway company
nmountlnc to $32,000 per mile , and to gc
ahead and construct the road according tc
the terms of the original contract for tin
consideration of $12,000 for every mile ol
road constructed and equipped The $12-
000 per mile were to be paid In the shape
of Missouri Pacific G per cent bonds , secured
by the stocks and bonds of the proposed
Denver Memphis & Atlantic railway.
Now too Just how foolish and short
sighted Messrs. Tllzgerald and Mallor )
were.
They voluntarily surrendered a contract
by which they were to receive $32,000 pel
mile for constructing a certain railroad , ami
then bound themselves to go ahead wltli
the construction of the same road under Hit
simo conditions for $12,000 per mile. A
clear loss of $20,000 per mile to Fitzgerald
and Mnllory
Perhaps It may bo Imagined that these
two well known and succes ful railroad ron >
tractors backed out of their contract Uul
they did nothing of the kind They simply
went ahead and built the road clear across
the state of Kansas from east to west and
started the train1 ! to running , and they are
both of them millionaires yet.
With thcss two contracts slcned and
copies deposited wherever necessary , the con
struction of the road commenced The
stocks and bonds of the Denver. Memphis
& Atlantic Railway company ( un entirely
fictitious corporation ) were duly Issued , signed
and scaled at the office of the Denver , Mem
phis & Atlantic Itallroid ccmpany ? No ,
They wcro Issued and signed In the ofilc °
of the Mlbsourl Pacific at Now York ami
the ovldcnco and thu findings of the district
ftnd supreme courts shov , that the so-called
Denver. Memphis & Atlantic Hallroad com-
piny never exerclted any control or posses
sion of the paid stocks or bonds. The bomb
were Issued by the Missouri Pacific tinder
the cover of the thinnest kind of a subterfuge
I300US STOCKS AND BONDS.
The bogus stocks and bonds ( for by the
decisions of the courts the Issue of both
was entirely fraudulent ) once Issued were
placed In the hands of a trustee and the
construction of the road conimencsd First
the work was taken out of the hands of
ritzgcrald and Mallory and placed under the
control and direction of the TIUuerald-Mal-
lory Construction company. This company
was organized with a capital stock of $1-
COO.OOO and the shares were held by the
follow Inn members of the company John
Fitzgerald. l.COO shares ; S. II. Mallory , 1-
500 ; Jay Gould , 4,000 ; Sidney Dillon , 1,000 ,
Ilustell Sage , 2,700 ; Morton , IJIIss & Co ,
2,000 ; George Gould , 500.
It will be thus seen that Fitzgerald and
Mallory , who ostensibly built the reid , held
but a small Interest In the contract and that
It was owned and controlled by Juy Gould ,
Russell Sage , Sidney Dillon , and others ,
whoso names have been tolerably well men
tioned In connection with the Missouri Pa
cific directory for many years.
The construction company at once pro
ceeded with the construction of the road.
The line was built from Chetopa , Kan. , to
Larncd , Kan. , a distance or 272 miles , and
from McCrackon , Kan. , to the Kansas-Colo
rado line , a distance of 133 miles , making a
total mlletgo of HO miles. The first ten
miles were completed on June 15 , 1S87. A
month later thirty miles had been com
pleted ; on February 14 , 1SS7 , a total of 150
miles were ready for operation , and on
August 1 , 1SS7 , the entire line of 410 miles
was ready for the acceptance of the Missouri
Pacific. By December 15 or that same year
the Missouri Pacific did accept the entire sjs-
tcm , together with a number of branch lines ,
constructed on the same basis
Of course the money for the construction
of such an Immense system was promptly
forthcoming. Steel rails and oak ties can
not be bought upon extended credit and track
men and graders do not work on promises
to pay. The Missouri Pacific furnished the
5 per cent bonds to the amount of $12,000 per
mile , as agreed upon. Of cuurso the bonds
had to bo converted Into cash. This was
accomplished more readily than one might
Imagine , In view of the condition of the
bond market. Although Missouri Pacific 5
per cent bonds wcro worth 100 cents on the
dollar at the time on Wall street , the Mis
souri Pacific graciously bought Its own bonds
at a discount of only 10 per cent , the entire
Issue being taken up by directors of the Mis
souri Pacific at 90 cents on the dollar. This
really left the construction company but $10-
800 per mile with which to construct a rail
road system reaching 100 miles across a
great state.
Just think of It , $10,800 per mile for buying
grading buying steel rails
ing right-of-way , ,
and oak ties and laying them on the grade ,
building bridges and cuherts over streams
and rivers , building depots for the accommo
dation of freight and passengers , construct
ing side , tracks and stock pens , coal chutes
water tanks , roundhouses and turn tables.
The ritzgcrald-Mallory Construction com
pany did all this successfully and , to all evi
dence , made a profit on the work. No men
tion Is made of the agreement to equip the
road with rolling stock to the extent of
$1,000 per mile , because the construction com
pany was afterwards released from this obli
gation.
"SPECULATIVE CONSTRUCTION. "
Having traced the history of the case so
far , let us see what the first practical re
sults have been. The Missouri Pacific has
added 410 miles of well constructed railroad
to Us southwestern system at a cost of $10-
SOO per mile. On the qther hand It has re
ceived In stock , "fully paid up , " $16,000 per
mile , and In bonds $16,000 per mile. The
road cost the company $1,128,000 and the com
pany received back In stocks and bonds
$13,120.000 , a clear profit to the Mltsourl
Pacific of $8,692,000 on the transaction.
This Is called "speculative construction. "
Perhaps the reader may Imagine by this time
that the Missouri Pacific directory was satis
fied with the tolerably remunerative profits
on Its speculative venture. But If so , the
reader hardly appreciates the unlimited ca
pacity of the average Missouri Pacific direc
tor for absorbing profits. The $8.692,000
made by the construction of the Denver ,
Memphis & Atlantic was but a small portion
of the real profit made on the deal.
According to the report of the directors of
the Missouri Pacific rnllroid , extracts of
which will bo found In Poor's Railroad
Manuel for the year 1888 , the following
operations had been decided upon'
"In 1886 the Missouri Pacific Railway com
pany began the construction of a series of
branch lines and extensions In order to pro
tect the company's property and Insure Its
future growth. "
In pursuance of this policy the company-
did construct a , branch line system , of
which the Denver , Memphis & Atlantic
was a part. The total mileage so con
structed was 1,073 , and the total cost was
$20,770,225. '
Those are the figures furnished Poor's
Manuel , and the reader who knows anything
about Henry V Poor knows that ho never
goes back cf the returns furnished him by
the railroad directors. So the figures given
to represent the cost of the branch lines and
extensions may bo considered perfectly re
liable from a railroad standpoint.
There is not the least probability In the
world that the figures are too low.
Now , mark what the directors of the Mis
souri Pacific do first. Wo quote again from
Poor's Manuel :
"To meet the expenditures the capital stock
was Increased from $30,000,000 to $15,000,000 ,
of which there was outstanding December
31 , 1888 , $43,974,850 , "
The capital stock was subsequently Increased
"to meet cost of ex
creased to $10,000,000 ,
penditures. "
So , In order to build Its branch line sys
tem , the Missouri Pacific Issued new stock
to the amount of $20,000,000. The system
Itself cost a trifle- more than $20,000,000 , The
construction of the Denver , Memphis & At
lantic was a part of the plan and according
to the report of the directors themselves
the cost of this roud was met from the pro
ceeds of the new Issues of Block.
HOW THKY PAID FOR IT.
Having thus taken another step , let us see
how much the Denver , Memphis & Atlantic
system cost the Missouri Pacific officials.
rirst It was paid for by now Issues of
stock , scld to directors uf the Missouri Pa
cific below par.
Second It was paid for by the Issue of 6
per cent trust bonds to the extent of $12,000
per mile.
Perhaps It may bo seen farther on that
the road was paid for twice. It certainly
looks so at present , but It will bo demon
strated that the road was paid for but once
and that the directors of tbi road who built
the line nrt only pocketed the proceeds ol
the additional stock Issued , but really robbed
the Missouri Pacific stockholders of a par )
of the trust bonds Issued ,
But before leaving the subject of the trust
bonds , let us digress but a moment. There
were $11,000,000 of these 5 per cent trust
bonds. The directors of the company report
with a crmplaceitcy that brooked no conceal
ment that "tho company has In Its treasury
as an offset to the foregoing construction ac
counts and Inclusive of the securities under
lying the trust G per cent bonds , $29,000OOC
of first mortgage bonds of the branch lines
and $ G6,537G07 , nominal value , of shares"
This means that every one of these branch
lines were organized as Independent systems
by men who acted as mere figureheads of the
Missouri Pacific wreckers. It also means
that these branch lines so organized were
capitalized to the extent of $6C.537C07 ami
bonded for $29,000,000 , every dollar of which
capital stock and bonded Indebtedness was
absorbed by Missouri Pacific officials before
the Missouri Pacific showed Itself In the
transaction. It means that these nharc
and bonds had been sold to Innocent third
parties , to use the legal term , and that the
Investing public had been swindled out ol
nearly $90,000,000. And It means that the
patrons of those branch lines were called
upon to piy Interest and dividends on this
enormous mass of fictitious liability.
Is It small wonder that rates were already
so "low" that the company was unable tc
meet fixed charges ?
STILL MORE RASCALITY.
It was stated In this article tint the
money for the construction of the Denver ,
Memphis & Atlantic railroad was promptly
forthcoming This statement needs some
qualification An Investigation of the facts
proves that the directors of the Missouri Pa
cific who had agreed to turn over $12,000 of
Missouri Pacific bonds for every mile of the
road constructed parted with these1 securities
with u reluctance that was pregnant with
method So slowly was the money advanced
that It became neees ary to borrow money to
pay for labor and material This money was
borrowed from different persons , but all of
the lenders were stockholders In the Fltz-
gerald-Mallory Construction company.
Tor Instance , Jay Gould himself loaned the
construction company $2,500,000 , for which
the construction company afterwards voted
him and paid him Interest to the amount of
$62,000 out of the proceeds of the bonds
finally turned over to the company
To understand the matter thoroughly It
will bo necessary to look through the records
of the directors' meetings. Fortunately ,
these records are at hand.
First , let It bo explained that In addition
to the Denver , Memphis & Atlantic railroad ,
the Fltzgerald-Mallory Construction company
also built for the Missouri Pacific system
certain other branch lines upon terms prac
tically similar to the ones upon which the
original road was built. By reason of the
construction of thcso additional branch lines
the entire amount of Missouri Pacific bonds
duo the construction company , including
those for the building of the Denver , Mem
phis & Atlantic , was $6,500,000. Of these
bonds , $5,000,000 wcro disposed of from time
to time by the orders of the board of direc
tors of the construction company. When the
system was completed the records showed
that the- proceeds of the sale of the $5,000,000
bonds had all been exhausted , leaving $1,500-
000 In bonds yet on hand. On September 22 ,
1887 , at a meeting of the directors of the
ritzgerald-Mallory Construction company. It
was unanimously voted , on motion of Sidney
Dillon , that a dividend of 100 per cent on the
stock of the company be declared , payable
In Missouri Pacific 5 per cent bonds.
Hero were the directors of the Missouri Pa
cific acting as directors of the construction
company , deliberately robbing the Missouri
Pacific of $1,500,000 and putting that amount
Into their own private pockets.
This , It will be remembered , Is a part of
the proceeds of what Is known In Inner rail
way circles as "speculative construction. "
There were a number of minor transactions
which go to prove that Jay Gould , Russell
Sage , Sidney Dillon and their co-laborers In
the field of speculative construction were not
out for their health.
Tor Instance , xtho Missouri Pacific trust
bonds were sold to themselves at a discount
of 10 per cent. There was a rakcoff of $500-
000 on this Item alone.
PINCHED THEM AGAIN.
Then again the Missouri Pacific agreed to
transport material for the construction com
pany at a rate of three-fourths of a cent per
ton per mile. When the bill was rendered
It was discovered that the construction com
pany had been charged 3 cents per ton per
mile. The overcharge amounted In the
aggregate to $318,703 56.
But In the meantime the Interstate com-
mcico law had gone Into effect. This made
a mntcilal difference , for the Missouri Pa
cific at once raised n technicality. The
original rate of three-fourths of n cent per
ton per mile was clearly a special rate
granted to the construction company by Jay
Gould himself. The Interstate commerce act
abolished all special rates and the Missouri
Pacific management took advantage of the
technicality to make an overcharge of $318-
701 50.
There are numerous minor steals In the
hlstoiy of the relations of the two companies ,
but compared to the main transaction they
are of too trivial a nature to be referred to
The supreme court of Nebraska after con
sidering the case for more than six months
rendered ' In which the
an opln'on Fltzgerald-
Mallory Construction company was given a
Judgment against the Missouri Pacific for
$704,94208. The opinion was written by
Hon. Frank Ryan of the supreme court com
mission and concurred In by the supreme
court Itself. The two other commissioners ,
Hon. Fiank Irvine of Omaha and Hon. J. M.
Ragan of Hastings , dissented from the opin
ion prepared by Judge Ityan. A review of
the dissenting opinion will be unnecessary ,
for the material facts In the history of this
most gigantic of nil the frauds ever perpe
trated In the history of the railroad develop
ment of the west are not altered. But for
the puiposes of this article the comments
of Judges Irvine and Ragau upon this case
are worthy of the most tenons and careful
consideration of every citizen of the state as
well ns of the west. After reviewing the
Interests joined In the case , the dissenting
opinion comments as follows :
REBUKED BY THE COURT.
"From these observations and from facts
upon which they are based the following
conclusions seem Inevitable. The whole
business amounted to n device of the Mis
souri Pacific , or those having Its control ,
to construct certain railroads In Kansas and
Colorado , Issue stocks and bonds vastly In
excess of the value of the property , so man-
Ipuhto them that whatever earnings might
accrue would pass to the Missouri Pacific or
to these favored stockholders therein , so
that the Missouri Pacific and these stock
holders should receive all possible benefits
from the transactions and at the same time
assume no burdens , leaving all the financial
icsponslblllty upon the construction com
pany and all the legal responsibility upon
a railroad company In favor of the state
upon these local corporations which have
been heretofore styled the original com
panies and which It Is perfectly fair to
characterize as purely paper and fictitious
concerns and Irresponsible devices for the
purpose of exercising the rights granted by
the states and assuming the obligations. Im
posed upon such corporations by the state ,
and so relieving the real projector and promoter
meter of the scheme from all actual re
sponsibility.
"Tho overissuing of stocks and bonds Is
In Itself a serious and probably sufficient
reason for characterizing the transactions
as fraudulent.
"Tho advantage from an overissue of
stocks and bonds Is manifest to any one
who has ever been called upon to Investi
gate contracts of corporations and those
familiar with questions lately arising In
regard to the reasonableness of rates fixed
by the legislature or by commissioners for
the carriage of freight and passengers. Such
overissues are pernicious In effect and Indefensible -
defensible upon principle. No honest mo
tive can bo ascribed to such acts when
knowingly committed. Such Instruments
partake of the nature of false tokens. They
are the Instruments of deception and fraud
They arc Intended to , and usually find their
way Into the hands of Innocent purchasers
who ultimately find that they have parted
with their money In exchange for depreciated
securities whoso actual values , owing to the
gigantic nature of the enterprises upon which
they are based , and usually the remoteness
of the field of operation , these purchasers
are unable to Investigate , They lead to
corporate bankruptcy and often to the
bankruptcy and distress of Inves
tors. They form at once the urgent mo
tive and the plausible excuse for excessive
mid unreasonable charges upon the patrons
of the system In order to secure sufficient
earnings to pay Interest and dividends upon
securities In excess ol thu productive- capi
tal Invested. " _

Always slow to take advice that digest :

IMvvards the world has never looked nerl-

"Beware of the vlddcrs ! " Consequently , were
a second prophet to arise In his shoes ntul
warn the marrying sisterhood to beware ol
the widowers , who would heed him ? Indeed ,
Is there not a common proverb set In cir
culation , no doubt , by crafty members of the
p'rsuaslon that widowers make the
best husbands ?
It Is very hard to write of the widower ami
show him sufficient respect. We those ol
us who do not marry him are apt to bo un
fair to him. Ho has every right to mourn
and every reason , and If his lamentation !
are more open and his bleeding heart takes
a more prominent position on his sleeve than
on that of the bereaved wife , the difference
Is one of sex , and cannot be quarreled with.
And he has btlll more right , and still more
reason , to marry again If he chooses and
because he usually does choose , shall we , the
Haltered sex , Indulge ungratefully In sar
casm' Habit Is hard to break , and broken
leaves us helpless , and It Is doubtless nature's
provision for the superfluous woman that
when a man has grown accustomed to being
married he finds singleness anything but
blcssEdnciS.
The girl who marries a widower need not
think herself entering Into n path of roses
whose seeds were thoughtfully sown by her
predecessor If he Is n\good husband , It Is
In spite , and not because of his experience ,
and ns for his having learned to understand
women , the point always plead In his favor ,
that's exactly the trouble. Every Joint In the
feminine armor he has learned , and has a
pebble to fit , he knows every approved
method by which lovely woman gets her own
way and the antidote , while for getting his
own way he has a vast fund of experimental
knowledge to draw on. He has learned that
a woman Is not an angel a dangerous point
of enlightenment for a bridegroom to begin
at and that a man need not be one or any
thing near one to Keep the affection of the
all-enduring sex.
Then and this Is not sentiment but plain
fact there Is the spectral figure which ( If
I might say it without too hopeless a mixIng -
Ing of metaphors ) Invariably sticks In the
throat of number two. I needn't say that it
Is number one. The woman hasn't been

possibilities , and It may ba added the proba

freely discussed on the banks of the Seine
and In London.
Tiom a social point of view It would be
undoubtedly the most brilliant match ever
made by an American girl , says a recent
Paris dispatch to the San Francisco Ex
aminer , for It would make her a slster-ln-
law of Queen Victoria's youngest daughter ,
Princess Beatrice , who Is married to Hemy ,
the elder brother of Francis Joseph of Bat-
tenborg , and she. . would become a cousin of
the emperor of Russia , the father of Prince
Francis Joseph having- been the favorite
bi other of the late czarina.
In the event of a union of this kind there
would be no such obstacles lalfed on the
[ .core of the difference In rank as In the pro
jected match between Prince Ia n'juig Biers-
ten and Miss Pullman , for whereas Pi luce
Isenburg belongs to a medlatUad family.
Prlnco Francis Joseph of Datten'mrg Is
merely the offspring of n morgan
atic union between his father , the late Prince
Alexander of Hesse , and Mine. Hauke ,
who was of Jewish origin , and w'io ' was sub
sequently created by the emperor ofustrln
princess of Battenberg In her own light.
There could bo no question , thertfcro , of
Prlnco Francis Joseph's contracting a mor
ganatic alliance , as his wife , no matter
what htr blith and origin , vsould be iccog-
nized at nil the courts of Europe as a
lirlncess of llattenberg.
Prlnco Joseph has absolutely no monty 'of
his own , no career open to him and no future
turo save the possibility of a marriage with
a. rich wife. Ho formerly had a commis
sion In the Prussian army , but resigned It
is well as all his prospects of advancement
In order to accompany his eldest brother ,
Prlnco Alexander , to Sofia , on the latter
being elected ruler of Bulgaria. When
Prlnco Alexander lost his throne his young
est bi other was , of course , forced to leave
the country along with him , and while the
elder of the two had a fortune of his own ,
part of which had been bequeathed to him
liy his aunt , the late czarina , whose favorite
nephew he was , Francis Joseph had nothing ,
and became dependent on the charity of lilb
relatives.
Nor was his position Improved In any way
by the death of his father. The latter loft
Ills entire foitune to the.elder of his sons ,
Prlnco Louis , who Is n , captain In the English
navy , deputy Inspector of fortifications at
the British admiralty , qnd married to a
granddaughter of Queen Victoria , sister of
the grand duke of ijcss9iDarniBtudt.
Francis Joseph , wlio by the way Is a god
son of the Austrian emperor , has an allow
ance of about $1,000 a , year , and this Is
probably the reason why for some tlmo past
lie has been conspicuous * among the chasseurs
lo dotsker ( heiress hunters ) at Purls , spend

visit at Battcnberg , , W)0sor | | ) or Osborno , as
the guest of his brother Henry and of the
latter's mother-ln-low , , ( jueen Victoria.
Prince Henry hlint > lt , was an heiress hun
ter at Paris prior to beaming the husband
} f Princess Beatrice , and was on the eve of
Becoming the ton-in-law , of Mrs. Macltay.
Indeed , there Is a largo number of American
liolresscs who havoi ruflised Prlnco Henry
jsforo ho was accep eilnby Quten Victoria's
youngest daughter , and became Knight of
iho Garter , a "royal highness , " and a full-
Iwlged colonel In the British army.
The royal baby , jvhose recent coming has
created such a pleasurable stir In England ,
( Inds his small hands filled with the. uccu
: nulatcil burdens of his august Inheritance ,
fortunately , the tiny brain does not liavo
to reason It all out , says the New York
rimes , but his young mother must wish
sometimes that fewer cares of state Intruded
jpon her delighted enjoyment of this , her
Irat-born.
All his environment Is ancestral and In
: lese touch with his distinguished lineage ,
Cven the swinging cradle In which the wee
joy takes his long baby sleeps has held the
nfunt forms of many of his royal grand
mclei and aunts. U Is the ono the queen
: iud In the royal nursery for her own ihll-
Ircn , and It ls deemed proper and suitable
.hat this Important succeetor In the line
should have a resting place dignified wilt
heredity.
The cradle swings from n graceful frame
of rich old mahogany Inlaid with gold
Draperies of handsome brocade of n dell
catc pearl tint are attached and used tc
shut off Intrusive draughts. The Hher-ta foi
this downy nest are of fine Irish lawn , lace
trimmed , the blankets are softest umbrcld'

the pearl brocade The crown nnd three
feathers which surmount the framework art
further typlcil of the royal state nf tin
small occupant , whos baby eyes look out mi
nia'iy such suggestive imblems.
The layette of the little prince Is prcul
larly delicate and dainty Irish linen nnr
Spltalflelds silk were usul wlicne\or It wim
possible , and some of the lace comes frou
Northampton. The work Is exquisitely fine ,
the robes given by the queen being pecul <
larly lovely. One rcbe Is of Irish lawn hand'
embroidered , and ns fine In texture as the
famous "woven wind" of India , and the
other a rich cloak and hood of pure white
rlbelllnc , a beautiful silken material. Tin
tiny hood Is adorned with prince of Wnks
feathers In pure white ostrich tips.
Summer dresses run mostly to ribbons ,
You buy your ribbon , and then. If you hive
any money left , you buy a drcas to wear
with It , says the Boston Advertiser. A
pretty "ribboned ' dress Is made of cream
challlo with cream ribbon gnrn'ture , and ,
Incidentally , some lace The challle , which
Is of the fine French manufacture wh'ch

puffed nn n thin lining The bottom of the
skirt has a row of cream wash ribbon put
on In small Vandykes , and above It a second
end row In long Vandykes that reach hnlf-
\.ny up the length of the skirt.
At the top ami bottom of these Vandykes
Is a bow of the ribbon , which can , of ojiirse ,
be taken oft when the dress Is done up
A pretty cotton gown can bo fashioned
out of a soft pink zephyr gingham The
skirt , cut clear to the ground , Is trimmed
with four rows of white beading put straight

lifted on the left side In simulated overskirt -

a bow and ends of ribbons.
The neck of the bodice Is made n little

with rows of the beading , on the edge , and
slightly vandyked on the front With long
white gloves to meet the short puffed sleeves ,
and n white hat trimmed with pink roses
nnd black velvet , this makes an Ideal gown
for a lawn party.
Miss Maria Gonzalcs Hermoslllo has been
appointed by President Dhu to the olllce of
postmistress at the town of Tcocaltlclic In
the state of Jalisco Miss Herm slllo Is the
first woman that was ever appointed to nn
office In Mexico and the new departure has
created a sensation among the women of the
republic and probably marks the beginning
of the wJinan's suffrage movement In Mex
ico. A correspondent of the Chicago Times
° ays that there Is a sincere desire on the
part of President Diaz and other
high government officials to give
the women a chance" to enter
upon new and broader fields of labor and
usefulness , but the women are reluctant to
Ignore traditions and defy custom by seeking
entrance to new occupations. There are no
societies In this country which have for
their object the assisting of the women In
having their rights recognized. It is be
lieved that the federal goveminent will fol
low up the appointment of Miss Hermosillo
with other appointments of women through
out the country to such positions as they
are qualified to fill. If this Is done the
state governments would soon fall Into line ,
and It would not be a great while before the
doors cf the mercantile and Industrial estab
lishments would be thrown open to women
The ex-Empress Eugenie , who was always
the guest of the Do Mouchys when she
passed through Paris , has , been on the
occasions that she visits our Vllle Lumlere
forced to put up at the Hotel Continental
like a simple Cook's tourist , whcro no one
recognizes In the lame , old , broken woman ,
the once radiant empress of the French , says
a Paris letter writer , quoted In the Phila
delphia Press. The old prophecy that used
to affright her so , that her fate would be
sadder than that cf Marie Antoinette , some
people think has been realized In her case ,
as she has outlived all that seemingly makes
life worth living
However , luckily to herself , she does not
agree with the sentimental theories of the
outer world , for to an Intimate friend she
said the other day , "although I now drift
on a sen of sorrow between two coffins" a
royally bad metaphor "still I would not
change lots with any one , for I have been the
most radiant and courted of sovereigns. "
She lives In her past now , having alienated
most of her friends by her temper and hei
avarice. She was the curse of her dynasty ,
the Instigator of the Franco-Prussian war ,
and the direct cause of the Prince Im
perial's fatal expedition to Zululand , whither
she drove him by her penurlousness and
ceaseless exactions. That she Is unconscious
of her own share In the ruin of her family
is much the better for her ; still , when she
crawled past us at the Continental the other
day all these who recognUed her looked
with a certain sorrow at the wreck of the
most successful adventuress the world has
over known.
The New York Advertiser does not Fay
whether the heroine of the little imranc *
given below ever smiled again aid Its
readers are still groaning In suspa.ise. Thus
runs the only heart-rending romance of the
ago- The sun had sunk behind ; ho hills , and
far and wide the purple Eiudo vs thiK"ned
Into night.
By the trelllscd gate , In the gloaming , the
young man met the maid.
Sweet and faro she was , and bravo and
strong was he.
It was a new world IT thorn now , for en ly
the evening before he bad claimed > ieas ills
own , and she had acknowMdEcd the il.ilm
Is there a sweeter inoni"nt In l.to than
this ?
Ho had not seen her all that day , md row
this meeting came to her lll.e u ln'n.scn.
"It has been the longest day In the year , "
he. said as he clasped her In his arms.
How nlco It was of him to make this re
mark. She loved him for it. The day had
been long to her , as well.
"Dear heart , " she sighed , and cuddled
close , "why has It been so long ? "
Of course bhe knew what answer ho would
give , but It Is always sweet In love to hear
thu loved one tell what each one knows so
well. 'Twas this that made her ask.
"Why has It been so long ? "
"Because because , " he murmured , dally
ing with the thought , "because It Is the 21st
of June. "
And so her heart went broke on that.

Ono of the June brldil couples In nndlicr

some tall Joking on the Impor.nt ( lav. winch

forcibly , as that meant an embarrassment
to his bride , which hi < vouMn t bear. Then
lie ke.pt as careful wath as possible for
every other scheme , notably that nf some
trifling with the carrinw which should tak
them to the railway station. I'o circumvent
this ho had a ncco'id carriage In waiting
around the corner from the bride's house ,
where the reception w < u held , intending to
mnke an exchange Into It If any favors or
ribbons appeared on the flrM one
Everything WAS entirely normal , however ,
when the newly wedded pair came out to set
off , and In the usual shower of rice and old
dippers they drove away , As the carriage
approached the station , however , the young
groom noticed what he thought lo be the
stupidity of his oinchman In taking n turn
nnd reining up with the bride's side of the
carriage nt the curb He jumped In front of
her to assist her out , wondering that the
usually careful driver should havn done It.
Ho guessed the reason , however , when ho
turned and reall/rd , too whv the porters nnd

the carriage was elaborately .and tastefully
decorated , the wheel spokes on the outside set
with white rosettes made frnm white Japan-

care being taken that not a glimpse could be
seen from the other side. A tip to the
coachman did the rest.

ner of Anawan and South Main streets One
of the rooms In the building was occupied
by the local branch of tlio Young Woman's

Borden was , before Hie tragedy , an active
member. While Miss Borden was In Tuunton
Jill the society joined with the Woman's
Chtlstlan Tempeiancc union In passing reso

has been rigidly excluded from society de-

accordingly the Young Woman's Christian
