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.

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 chief. The court of Victor Emanuel was then situated at Milan. His son. King Humbert, who inherited his father’s bodily vigor and courage, was then a THE MORNING NEWS. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1. 1900. 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. .
