OUR LONDON NEWS
London, Oct, 22.—No princess
has been more frequently reported
us being affianced to one scion of
royalty or another than the beauti¬
ful Helene of Orleans, sister of the
duke of Orleans and the favorite
daughterof the late comte de Paris.
Xhis time gossip assigns her to
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the
future emperor of Austria, and in
the royalist circles at Paris the be
trothai is spoken of as certain,
In court society at Vienna, in the
purlieus of Pall Mall and jn the sa
lons of Mayfair the report is also
believed. It is further
in those organs of the French press
which are devoted to the monar
chical cause and are regarding as
constituting the mouthpieces of the
Orleans family. They one and all
unite in declaring that as soon as
the first days of mourning are at
an end the engagement will be offi¬
cially announced.
If the marriage takes place,
which seems in every respect
probable, it will in no sense con¬
stitute a love match, since the arch¬
duke and the princess have scarce¬
ly ever seen each other, their soli¬
tary meetings have been at a party
given by the prince of Wales at
Marlborough house last summer in
honor of the archduke, whose atti¬
tude was so cold and formal to
everyone during his four days’ vis¬
it to England that the impression
which he left behind him was the
reverse of agreeable.
At any rate, the archduke and
bis bride will form a very hand¬
some couple, while the infusion of
fresh blood into the house of Haps¬
burg cannot but materially benefit
the mental and physical condition
of its members. There has been
far too much intermarrying be¬
tween near relatives in the reign¬
ing family of Austria, and it is to
this, above everything else, that is
attributed the tendency toward
epilepsy and insanity among the
Hapsburgs.
Princess Helene of Orleans
comes from an entirely different
stock, and is not only very beauti¬
ful, but also a perfect specimen of
physical and mental vigor. And
certainly she is better situated than
any other marriageable princess to
maintain unimpaired the tradition¬
al reputation of Austrian empress¬
es for loveliness.
She is healthy-minded in her
way of looking at life, remarkably
free from formality and likely,
therefore, to exercise a beneficial
influence upon the archduke, who
has been brought up and educated
in the strictest manner of the old
school, and is inclined to attach
too great importance to the^lti
quette and rules of precedence for
which the Austrian court is fa
mous.
In one point, however, the young
couple will be in thorough sympa¬
thy with each other. The arch¬
duke is passionately addicted to
shooting and hunting and is one of
the best sporting shots on the con¬
tinent of Europe. Princess Helene
shares these tastes in a magnificent
equestrienne, has acted as master
of the foxhounds of an English
pack for several months with great
success, and is as sure a shot as her
mother, the comtesse de Paris.
Like the archduke she is a de
vout catholic and, if popular re¬
port is to be believed, in was en¬
tirely due to her fervent devotion
to the catholic church that she de
dined the offer of marriage made
her by the late duke of Clarence, a
union which would, of course, have
entailed her conversion to the pro
testant church. She was very fond
of the duke, and it was only after
travelling to Rome and a long and
touching, interview with the pope
that she definitely declined to be¬
come the duchess of Clarence.
With regard to archduke Fran¬
cis Ferdinand there have been cur
rent all sorts of stories as to an al
leged attachment subsisting be
tween himself and the widowed
Crown Princess Stephanie. A# I
have pointed out before in these
columns, there is not a word of
truth in these tales. The archduke
is far too fond of his beautiful step
-—ather, Archduchess Mark The¬
re, to desire to wed her bitterest
For the crown princess is noto¬
riously at daggers drawn \yith the
archduchess, their quarrels with
regard to precedence at court hav¬
ing necessitated the intervention of
the emperor; the empress and the
entire imperial family siding with
Marie Therese against the univer¬
sally disliked crown princess, who
is neither amiable nor beautiful
and is utterly incapable of inspir
ing any such feelings of passionate
attachment as she is credited with
having aroused in the breast of the
archduke.
Moreover, if this were not suffi
cient, there a^e statutes of the mdst
stringent character in the imperial
house of Hapsburg which prohibit
any member of the family in the
direct line of succession to the
throne from wedding the widow of
a crown prince, for reasons which
are obvious.
Lord de Saumarez, who has tak¬
en advantage of the newly enacted
death duties to use as a pretext for
stopping the pensions and annuities
accord to all the old servants and
retainers of his family and that of
his wife, is far from being.the poor
man that one would immagine from
the perpetration of such an incon
ceiVable piece of meanness, since it
is evident that the servants in ques¬
tion would never have received
pensions unless they Were no long¬
er able to work and had spent their
entire existance in the service of
the De Saumarezs and of the
Brokes.
A classmate of the prince of
Wales at Oxford and subsequently,
a subaltern in the Coldstream
guards, he deserted the army for
diplomacy, and figured as secretary
of embassy* in turn at Athens, Ber¬
lin, Paris and Tokio, where he dis¬
tinguished himself by importing
the first brougham in Japan.
Shortly before, on succeeding to
the title, though not to the person¬
al property of his father, who had
left everything he could to his se¬
cond wife and children by her, De
Saumarez married a great heiress
in the person of Miss Broke of
Broke hall,Ipswich, and possessed
of three other of the most beautiful
country seats in England besides a
fortune of $3,500,000 in ready
money, which, of course enabled
him to put his ancestral mansion,
Saumarez hall, in Guernsey, in
proper repair. Lady de Saumarez
is not beautiful, and the marriage
can scarcely be regarded as a love
match.
While the Saumarez family is
one of great antiquity, the peer¬
age was created by, King George
in. and conferred upon the cele¬
brated admiral, Sir James Sauma¬
rez, whose brilliant feats figure in
the same historic roll as those of
Rodney, Howe and Nelson. He
was second in command at the bat¬
tle of the Nile. It is manifest that
his deccndant, the present peer,
has forgotten both the name and
the services of his famous ancestor.
Lord de Saumarez is vice-presi¬
dent of the Japan society in Lon¬
don and has a collection of Japan¬
ese curios which enjoys consider¬
able celebrity. It would appear to
the veriest tyro that it would have
been more considerate to have sold
off of a few of his Buddhist
idols or even to have closed up one
of the five country-seats which he
owns, rather than to stop the pen¬
sions of his old servants^ thus prac¬
tically consigning them to the poor
house in their last days.— Le Roy.

The Dixie Fair.
The people of Macon certainly
deserve credit for the courage
have displayed in undertaking a
grand exposition this year. A less
energetic and determined people
would have shrunk from such an
undertaking with the hue and cry
of “hard times,’ 5 but as in all other
cases of the kind they seem about
to reap the reward of success.
From all advice, the Dixie • Inter
state Fair will equal anything ever
attempted in this State n not in the
entire South. Its proportions have
grown and increased until the man¬
agers themselves are astonished at
it, but they seem to be equal to the
occasion and while many thousands
of people will visit Macon between
October 23d and November 8th
there will be something to attract
the attention and suit the taste of
every one of them.
It rests assured that the live-stock
exhibition, if nothing else was
placed upon the grounds, would be
sufficient inducement for almost
anyone to visit the fair. The cn
tries in this department®are more
than double those of any other fair
ever held in the State at this dis
tance from the opening day.
These entries embrace some of the
finest strains of cattle and horses
in America. The poultry depart¬
ment, having been from the very
beginning in charge of gentlemen
who are not only familiar with all
the requirements that g»to make
up a good poultry exhibit.
The races will be better than
were ever seen on a Georgia track.
There lias not been such a tempt¬
ing list of stakes and purses offered
to the horsemen throughout this
section as is presented ’by Dixie
Interstate Fair.
When we add these features to
the Midway Plaisance, as produced
at the World’s Fair, and the hun¬
dred other attractions, we have
still not said all. Many of our
readers will remember the cele¬
brated fire-works display of the
“Last Days of -Pompeii.” This
grand representation wifi be given
for six nights during the fair and
it will afford thousands of people
an opportunity to see it. Many
people have made their arrange¬
ments to be with our Macon friends
some time during the continuance
of the fair. The well known hos¬
pitality of the Macon people will
be tested to its fullest extent but
we have no fear of the result.
Remember the date, October 23d
to November Sth.
Griffin News : The defeat of the
amendment which was intended to
increase the ranks of judge of the
supreme court by two may be re¬
gretted, but it must be faced and
the best made of it. We think
Judge Bleckly acted wisely in re¬
signing. At his age and with no
possibility of adding further to his
fame it would be folly to break
himself down with further over¬
work. In replacing him the main
object to be held in view should be
to see that his successor is a man
capaple of and accustomed to hard
work. There are plenty of men of
sufficient ability in the state, but
men of ability are inclined to ute
their brain6 only upon stress of ne¬
cessity and to take lai^je spells of
rest. There are few however, who
so delight in the use of their minds
that they find no weariness in press¬
ing eagerly and constantly on in
their profession. Of this class is
Judge .Marshall J. Clarke, of
Atlanta. Experenced- in the per¬
formance of all 1 those duties that
fall so heavily upon the three su¬
preme court jndges, a wiery
frame subordinate in all its wants
and capacities to the solid bead it
carries, he has been an indefat
igable worker all his life and could
go into harness in the new position
without feeling the slightest fric¬
tion. There may be others, but
it strikes us very pointedly Judge
Clarke is the man for the position.
Maj. McKinley’s present speech¬
es in exposition of the priceless
benefits of protection would have
had a peculiar interest could they
have bees read 00 the morning after
the elections in November of 1893.

ently entertaining a vague notion
