EMPEROR LED ROMANTIC LIFE.
Tlic death of the emperor of Austria, announced in yester
day's Daily d imes, no doubt cast a gloom over the Teutonic
countries ol Europe, for he was the person responsible for tin
present great war. The Associated Press furnished an extend
ed biography ot the public lite ot the emperor, who was univer
sally recognized as a soldier and a statesman, much beloved In
Ids people. But gossip dealt plentifully with his private life
filled with romance and misfortune. It related that his motile
intended him to marry Princess Helena, eldest daughter o
Duke Max ot Bavaria. With passive indifference the vounj
emperor agreed to his mother’s wishes, and set out to pay cour
to his intended bride. He got no further than the park sur
rounding the duke’s castle, where he spied' a little girl whose
extraordinary beauty attracted him.
lie learned that she was Princess Elizabeth, youngest sis
ter of his intended. He resolved that Elizabeth should be hi:
bride, and so she became in 1854.
In addition to her beauty, Elizabeth was high 1 v endowei
w ith talents, but she found no welcome at court. The emperor’
mother would hardly countenance the match, and all of the Vi
eniicse aristocracy held aloof from her. Elizabeth returnee
scorn for scorn. Her enemies bore her every tale that couh
wound her pride and estrange her love. At last they succeeded
In a burst of pique she fled to her native Bavaria. She cairn
back, but the Viennese never forgave her. They charged he
with loving t'ox hunting in Ireland better than her duty, am
preferred to remember her always as the absent wife.
The estrangement widened. The emperor was fond o
pretty women, and Vienna did not lack them. The empresi
grew more and more to consider herself “a dutiful sovereigi
lady,” and less and less a wife. The tragic death of her oni\
son drew her nearer to her husband for a while, but there eanu
a succeeding period of stronger repulsion, and thereafter slu
almost disappeared Iroin the Hot burg.
Then appean d Katharina Scliaratt, formerly of the imper
ia 1 theatre. By her tact and wit she succeeded in creating foi
herself a place below but beside the throne, never accorded be
fore her time so openly and so permanently to any woman
Speculation as to her relations with tin* emperor was wide am
malicious. Of course it found its way to the empress, and then
lollowed an incident which testifies to her uncommon delicacy
and courage.
Nettled by tin* continual humiliation of such distastefu
scandal motigering, she devised a way to end it. One day sin
took her youngest daughter by the hand, and to the immeasur
able astonishment of her guests, set out to pay a long call 01
Frau Scliaratt at her country palace in Iselil, where all tin
world knew the emperor spent hours daily. That ended it ef
fectually. It was impossible to gossip before the empress about
a condition which she herself had socially legalized by hei
presence.
\Y hat ever truth about Katharina Scliaratt and t he emperoi
she had the good sense newer to attempt to influence him politi
cally. Those of her predecessors who had dared more boldly
paid the penalty of sudden and noiseless removal from his sur
roundings. When upon the assassination of the empress, tin
court went into mourning, Frau Scliaratt was seen but little
Shortly, the old intimacy was openly resumed, but it was impos
sible to continue malignant about a friendship that lengthened
into old age, and the sting of criticism gradually died out. At
Shonbrunn castle, Frau Scaratt appeared nearly every after
noon to keep the emperor company for an hour or two. In turn,
he delighted to call on her at her town house as a private gentle
man, where he could meet a few friends of his own choosing,
and not guests imposed on him by otitquette or reasons of state.
Politics was never discussed. Frau Scliaratt had her own town
house and her country house, together with a goodly allowance,
but it never was objected that the emperor was lavish with her
and she had the discretion not to make her ostentation a nation
al scandal.

A week from today will be Thanksgiving, and by that time
the territorial political fight may bo settled and the fortunate
candidates and their friends will have something to be thank
ful for.

The Christmas holidays, the season of good cheer, will
soon be here, and as Santa Claus has good trails he should ar
rive with a bountifully stocked sleigh of toys and other gifts
for the deserving little boys and girls.

And now we are informed that the American soldiers are
soon likely to be withdrawn from Mexico—and' Villa is still at
large and continues to commit as many depredations as before
the punitive expedition crossed the border.

The Thin.! may be the pivotal division in settling the elec
tion of a delegate to congress from Alaska. It is upon this sec
tion that Wiekersham’s hope of being returned to Washington
depends. Sulzer’s main strength was in the First division, the
Second gave Wickersham a plurality, while in the Fourth Sul

If Cordova wants to have a band which will be a credit to
the town its residents should turn out en masse on Thanksgiv
ing night and patronize the benefit ball, which will be given
under the auspices of that organization. Funds are a necessury
adjunct to the successful being of any institution and as no sub
scriptions have been solicited for the putting of the new' band
on a solid basis, there should be a generous response when the
call is made, and we are to receive full value for the money ex
pended.

The most powerful
, pen is the advertising
pen.
Publicity, like elec
tricity, is yet in its in
fancy. None knows the
limits of either.
But it is patent to all
that newspaper advertis
ing is the foundation of
> all publicity.
Now, listen. There
' isn’t a successful business
man in the country who,
when cornered, will
not confess that a great
measure of his success is

i Read the ads. They’ll
help in your education.
There wag a time when
ads. were glimpsed. To
day they are read care
fully. An ad. carries
information. Information
is educational. When a
man advertises he seeks
to enlighten.
Women today read
department store ads.
more carefully than they
do the society news.
That is a strong state
ment. But it is true
nevertheless.
And the men seek
bargains in the newspa
per ad. columns. Read
and be enlightened.
Add to your education.
