COTTON SPOTTED AND LATE.
S(i ,j There In Said to Be Improve
ment in the Outlook.
X. w Orleans, July 31.—The Times Dem
ocrat to-morrow will publish its report of
the progress of the cotton crop during the
month of July.
The consensus of opinion Is that there
1- u distinct improvement in the outlook.
]t raus t, however, be remembered that
,;ni< comparison is made with the worst
start ever known.
\ very large proportion of the original
ii rear* of acreage has been abandoned,
e:.l it is quite possible that no net in
crease has occurred.
Texas is, probably, the best situated of
the states, while Mississippi is the worst.
The Atlantic states have suffered some
what from drought, but the situation in
that quarter, has recently been relieved, to
g.-.na extent, by liberal showers.
Louisiana, os a whole, has a very good
prospect. Arkansas is also good. The
reports from Alabama and Tennessee
t i,ow a marked improvement.
The situation may be summed up in the
statement that the crop is very spotted
and very late. At present there is no
reasonable assurance of anything more
than a very moderate yield.

mob stormed a residence in Mansfield,

clothing painted their bodies with utra
marine ant} paraded them through the

HI.MDEHT OF ITALY.
Fnot* In the Life of the A*u**lnated
Monarch.
A few months after his accession to the
throne King Humbert had a narrow es
cape from assassination. He succeeded
to the throne on the death of his father,
on Jan. 9, 1878. As he was making his
formal entry into Naples on Nov. 17 of
the same year a man named Giovanni
Passanante approached the royal car
riage and struck at the King with a
poignaid. The King received a slight
scratch only, hut Signor Cairoli, the Prime
Minister, who eat beside him in the car
riage, was wounded rather badly in the
thigh. The would-be assassin, was arrest
ed before he could do any more mischief;
wos tried, convicted and condemned to
death, but the punishment was commuted
by the King to penal servitude for life,
and the culprit was transported to the isl
and of Elba to undergo this sentence.
Passanante had formed a deliberate plan
for the assassination, and had fully made
up his mind as to the consequences to
himself. When asked If he really in
tended to kill the King or merely to
wound him, he frankly replied: “My in
tention was lo finish him.’’ He disclaim
ed all connection with Socialism or th<*
International Association, but it was
found that he had long been engaged in
socialistic movements.
A man named Olivieri was arrested in
Home in March. 1894, because he had
been heard to threaten the life of the
King. After his arreet the police learned
that he was the person who, during Em
peror Williams’ visit to Rome in 1890,
threw into the imperial carriage a letter
denouncing Germany and the House of
Hohenzollern as responsible for Italy's
financial troubles and political unrest.
On the afternoon of April 22, 1897, while
King Humbert was on his way to the
races, a man named Pietro Acciarito, an
iron-jvorker out of employment, attempt
ed to stab His Majesty with a dagger.
The man was seized before ho could
carry out his purpose, and the King pro
ceeded to the Campanelle race course,
seemingly unmoved.
Mixed in .Many .Scandals.
He was an accomplished hunter and
fisherman, and nothing gave him greater
pleasure than a day in the woods with
rod or gun. His summers nearly always
were spent in Monza, where he. was as
sassinated. He was fond of a cigar, liked
his tea. was a good billiard player/and
was considered an accomplished man in
more ways than one.
The great scandal with which the King
was connected was that of his brother’s
divorce case, wherein he was named as co
respondent by the brother, the Duke of
Litta, who filed the suit for divorce
against the Duchess In France, and al
leged that the King, his brother, was the
father of the son of his wife.
The child died before, the filing of the
suit.
A Kinma ii Animal.
The Duchess of Litta. with whom the
name of the King was linked for years,
was n child at the court of the royal sol
dier of fortune, Victor Emanuel, when he
w’as king of Sardinia and Piedmont, the
patrimony of Ids ancestors Victor Eman
uel was a fine example of the human .ani
mal, brave, brutal, and without the least
vestige of morality. At the head of his
hardy countrymen he fought Austrian
and Italian opponents, often without suc
cess. but always with obstinacy, until at
last he became King of United Italy,
Among his most notorious favorites was
the beautiful Countess BologninJ, by birth
a princess Ponta. Her career fitted her
to be a companion of the shameless King.
She wan not only worldly, but a hard
drinker and thoroughly unscrupulous. She
was big. block-haired, reJ-chteked, luxu
riantly handsome.
Among her children was a daughter,
who inherited her mother’s beauty in an
increased degree, and all her bad qualities.
She was reared like a savage. In her
youth she was the intimate friend of the
novelist Balzac. Then she ran away with
the Prince Pacra.
After a brief relapse into respectabil
ity she married the Duke of LPtn.
They separated, and t ie Duchess went
to live with her mother at Milan. Such
n woman oouki not long keep out of mis

young man. The Duchess and her expe
rienced mother entrapped him without
difficulty.
Married His Cousin.
In 1868 Humbert, then Prince of Pied
mont, married his cousin, Margherita.
daughter of the Duke of Genoa. It was
marriage for politics only, and the
Prince’s infatuation for the Duchess of
Litta was undiminished.
He continued to pay her the same con
spicuous attention as before, and had her
appointed a maid in waiting to his wife,
so that she might be always about his
residence. This caused the Princess Mar
gherita to revolt. There was danger of
a public scandal at a critical moment in
ixriitics, and Victor Emmanuel inter
vened.
He gave her what is termed in court
language “a permission to travel," but
which is in reality an order to leave the
country. At the same time he assured
her that she would be warmly welcomed
at the court of his old friend, Napoleon
IIT, Emperor of the French. The King
recommended her to the Emperor.
Schemed to Got Rome.
The beauty and brillancy of the Duchess
of Litta soon made an Impression on the
susceptible Napoleon 111. He became her
devoted admirer, and the Empress Eu
genie, in whom bad temper and jealousy
were the most prominent characteristics,
hated her furiously.
Victor Emmanuel had gained much
through the help of Napoleon 111, but he
wanted more. Napoleon had gone to war
to drive the Austrians out of Italy for
the benefit of Victor Emmanuel. It was
a war which appealed to the
and desire for glory of the French, and
trie empire had to be kept up by such
enterprises. Victor Emmanuel’s ambition
was to obtain Rome as his capital, but
in this he was frustrated by the action
of the French. On this account Napo
leon was hated with great bitterness by
the Republicans nnd advanced politician?
of Italy’ in spite of what he had done fer
them.
Victor Emmanuel sought persistently to
change Napoleon's policy and gain Rom 3 .
To this end he accepted the services of
(he Duohes-s of Litta He was in constant
communication with her, offered her great
rewards and supplied her with modest
sums of ready money.
Dnches* With a Record.
Napoleon’s relations with the Duchess
of Litta marly cost him his life. While
the Emperor was visiting a fair friend
living in a small v 11a at Auteuil an at
tempt was made to assassinate him.
This fair friend was the Duchess of Litta
The late General Floury, p inc pal equer
ry of the Emperor, and a Corsiclan body
servant narmd Grascillie were w.th his
majesty on this occas on.
Napoleon and his equerry were so heav
ily drugged with narcotics at supper that
they fell asbep, and did not recover con
sciousness for several hours. During
this time Graze! lie, who was afterward
made a Baron, killed a s-alwart ruffian
who broke into the apartment.* He car
ried a knife and pistol, and on his body
were found documents showing that h*'
was an agent of Mazzlni and letters pro
ving him to be the lover of the Duchess’
mad.
The Duchess herself was drugged, and
this fact, aided no doubt by her beauty,
enabled her to satisfy the Emperor that
"!fche was no accomplice io the affair. He
continued to receive her with marked
favor at court, hut refrained from further
visits to the villa at Auteuil
Then came 1870 and the collapse of the
tinsel empire. But it first gave the Em
press Eugenie an opportunity' to gratify
her hatred of the Duchess of Litta. The
•Emperor went to the front and the Em
press, who was made regent, had her im
prisoned in the Chautea of Vincennes, on
a charge of supplying information detri
mental to France to the Prussian Ambas
sador in Paris.
Ilnck Again in Italy.
Sedan saw the downfall of the Duchess'
protector, the Emperor, and her rival, the
Empress. After two months’ imprison
ment she was released by the government
of the national defense, there being ro
evidence at all against her.
Rome had Just been occupied by Victor
Emanuel’s troops, and the Duchess, ever
in the thick of events, returned to Italy
at that troublous period. At onue she re
sumed her sway over Prince Humber .
now the acknowledged' heir to n great
kingdom. S-he took up her regular resi
dence at Milan, and in summer occupied
her summer seat, Vldamo, which is near
the royal summer palace of Monza.
The attachment between the Prince
and the Duchess was as public as that of
Diane de Poitiers and the Dauphin of
France.
Of late years the relations between (ho
King and the Duchess were apparently
platonic, and the Queen suppressed all
outward resentment. The Duchess is one
of the most experienced and astute per
sons at the Roman court, and her advice
in political matters was given freely to
the King.
She injured him, however, by incurring
the resentment of the powerful politician,
Francesco Crispi. A year ago his news
paper. the Tribuna, denounced her as
playing the role at the Italian court of
Mme. de Maintenon at the court of Loui3
XIV.
Humbert’* Beautiful Queen.
Of the beauty of Queen Margherita all
the world has heard, but she has been
and still is beautiful, thanks to the deli
cacy of her complexion, the grace of her
outlines, the sweetness of her expression.
Early in life she, too, was very delicate,
and so thin as to be almost transparent;
but in the course of years she has grown
stouter, and now may he said to be too
stout for beauty. She knows both Ger
man and Italian literature well, is fond
of music, and sings herself with taste
nnd feeling. She is fond of the society
of men of thought and letters, end at
her intimate evening teas may be met
some of the leading men of the land, w r ho
drop in to chat away an hour without
ceremony’.
Among those whom the Queen loved to
receive was the late Minister Minghettl, a
simple gentlemanly burgher, who was
well versed in questions of art and let
ters. Another of her well-liked habitues
is Bonghi. the statesman and man of let
ters; also Prof. Villari, senator and hiw
torlan. Bhe has even known how to gain
over to her Italy's greatest living poet,
Giosue Carduccl, who began life as a vio
lent Republican nnd hater of royalty.
Indeed, a sentimental cult us for the
Queen, their first Queen, is widespread
among the Italian*, and her name, Mar
gherita (Daisy), is symbolized in many
ways, and the da ev emblem occurs in
every form of festive decoration. Her
own favorite emblem is the pearl, of
which she wears strings upon strings
eround her neck, so that by her rows of
pearls the Queen can always lx* recog
nized. If by no other sign. And every
year this row of pearls grows richer,
for the King, who shares the Queen's
half-barbarian love of precious stone*,
adds annually a string to the precious
necklet, until it now descends far below
her waist, and has really lost some of
Us elegant and decorative character.
Avery cordial friendship existed be
tween King and Queen, and the former
relied much on his wife’s judgment, which
is frequently clear and sound. Some
pretty anecdotes are told of their domes
tic life. On one occasion the husband
gave the wife one of those quiet rebuffs
into which enters a sense of humor, and
which are on that account less hard to
bear. It appears that Umberto once ask
pA one of the Queen’s seeretarles w hat
would be an acceptable Christmas present
CASTOR 1A
For Infaats and Children.
The Kind You Have Always Bought
for Her Majesty’. This gentleman, a
truer friend than courtier, had the cour
age to suggest to the King that the
Queen had a large number of unpaid mil
liners’ and dressmakers’ bills. The King
took the hint and begged that they
should all be given to him. On Chrisi
maa morning, Umberto placed nil
bills, receipted, under the Queen’s table
napkin. There was no other present. It
is said that she took the hint and his
been less extravagant since.
Both ihe King and Queen were fond of
petty gossip, and on their informal re
ceptions—held on Sunday evenings, to
which all may drop in who have the
entree to their house—lt w /is quite
strange lo hear them always asking after
the local news.
The Prince of An pie*.
The troubles of the King with the politi
cians and cabinets of his own country are
recent.
Queen Marguerite, while of Saxon origin,
is educated in English, French nnd Italian.
She has studied all the English classics,
and her library is filled with works by
English and American authors.
Asa child she had the Prince of Naples
educated in English, ands a boy his
favorite author was Fenimore Cooper,
whose leather stocking tales delighted him
more than any other stories written in
English. The successor of the King, the
Prin<*e of Naples—if the reigning family
of Savoy is lo be continued in Italy—al
ways has been a weakling physically. Pale
and delicate in his youth, he cured more
for books than for games. Two years ago
he was married to the Princess Helene of
Montenegro.
Rout in&: at Mou/.u.
Of the place ai Monza or Manza, where
the King is reported lo have been killed,
a writer says:
“The King and Queen’s headquarters fr>
summer are at Monza, thirteen miles north
of Milan. Here they own a comfortable
residence, surrounded by a |>ark many
leagues in circumference, crossed, water
ed and made cool by the giver Lambro. 1
have had frequent occasions to converse
wMth ladies and gentlemen who had- just
enjoyed the royal hospitality at Monza,
and they all concur in declaring that their
Majesties are just as amiable and fascin
ating in their intimate family life as they
are admirable on the steps of the throne
in the state rooms at the Quirinnl.
“The King rides out early in the morn
ing. visiting his tenants, surveying the
works of improvement on the estate or
shooting In the royal preserves. After
breakfast he devotes himself to affairs of
state, which involve a pretty lively cor
respondence between Rome and Monza,
and a constant running up and down of
cabinet courtiers. The documents which
require the royal signature are brought
up once a week by one of the ministers.”
LEAVES LOVER FOR FOHTINE,
Miss Carmody Goes lo Au*lral2a to
Become llelre** to
From the New’ York World.
Toledo, 0., July 29.—Miss Maggie Car
mody, heiress to a vast Australian for
tune, will leave the coming week to join
in New York her aunt, Mrs. G. R. Brad
bury, who is coming on from San Fran
cisco. It is this aunt from whom Miss
Carmody is to receive her fortune. The
aunt has agreed to make over $2,000,000
to Miss Carmody on condition that the
girl go with her to Australia to reside.
Miss Carmody has received $3,000 as an
earnest of the aunt’s intentions and a
fi.rther promise (hat ail of the Bradbury
fortune shall go to her on the aunt’s
death. The two will go to Australia by
way of the Paris Exposition.
Miss Carmody has led a very quiet life
—almost that of a recluse. She is about
28 years of age. It has recently devel
oped that, her quiet life was due to brood
ing over her love for u young priest whom
she met in the East. Recently he was
transferred to an Ohio diocese and a
friend of Miss Carmody declares that he
has written to the girl that he will eave
th • priesthood and marry her. Several
rimes before he had so resolved, but duty
prevailed. Now’ the girl has decided to.
go (o Australia, ami expects to join her
aunt in New’ York.
How to Speak to n Sovereign.
From the London Mail.
The simple title “Madam’’—reduced, ip
practice, to “Ma’am’’—is, as most people
know, all that serves, between Queen Vic
toria and her court, to mark the former’s
dignity as the ruler of a worldwide em
pire. Had Britain a king, he would be
no more than “Sire,” the old. French form
of “Sir,” sacred to royalty. With us the
term “Your Majesty” is only for servants
and ceremonial occasions.
Not every one is aware, however, that
there are few other courts where th s
wholesome simplicity prevails. The Em
peror of Germany Is “Majestaet”—there is
no pronoun in the title—to all and sundry,
even to his family, except when in abso
lute privacy. The Emj>eror of Austria is
“Eure Majestaet” at all times and under
all circumstates; the King of Greece is
“Votre Majeste’’—French being the court
language, and our recent visitor, the King
of Sweden, is “Era Majestat.” Their royal
consorts are addressed with the same for
mality.
Only at the courts of Belgium and Italy
may the sovereign be greeted as “Sire”
or “Madame,” though the entiquette of the
Russian court permits it when the French
language is being used. When Russian is
being spoken, Nicholas IT, is to his cour
tiers and' officials “Czar”—employed, ’lke
th© Prussian “Majestaet,” without a
pronoun. To the lips of a Russian peasant
face to face with his sovereign, the time
honored “Little Father” or “Little Moth
er” would spring.as W’ould “Excellenza” to
those of an Italian—that melodious Sou
thern tongue having no other equivalent
for “Majesty’.”
It should be noted. In passing, that not
even their most privileged courtiers may
speak o monarohs unless they are spoken
to. This piece of etiquette does not wo k
out quite so stiffly as might be expected;
once embarked on a conversation, re
marks and opinions may be offered with a
due amount of tact. But only the sov
ereign can draw’ this or that courtier into
his immediate circle or otherwise set the
conversational ball rolling. Also, If the
person, when first spoken to, be not seat
ed, as, for instance, at dinner, it is his
duty* to bow, or, if a lady is the favor? and
one. to courtesy. An officer in uniform
does not bow, or, for the matter of that,
salute either; instead, he straightens up
like the i*roverbial ramrod. .

Gentlemen—lt gives me pleasure to
heartily recommend Infants’ Friend
Powder, and to give to you a singu
lar little coincident connected with it.
During the Cot ion States and In

ted with a lit Ho box of this powder,
nnd was so pleaevd with it that I
was exceedingly anxious to get more,
but on looking at the box I found
nothing but Savnnnah, Ga.. no other
address. I have often wished I knew
where to get it. This morning’s
mail brought your circular with en
closed sample I immediately re
ferred to my box. nnd found It was
the Infants’ Friend Powder. Ii is
without doubt the best powder I have
ever used. Respectfully,
MRS. WM. KING.
