Washington. May 17.—This is a good old
world, after all, when even dame fashion
in the midst of her frivolities and dissipa
ting finds tme to keep tip no end of
charitable enterprises. It Is eminently
proper that the National Capital should
be particularly distinguished for pbllan- i
thropic works. It being her province to
set an example to the rest of the coun- |
try. The ladies of Washington’s tip
topest circle, as well as those on other
rounds of the social ladder, deserve a
great deal of credit for their numerous
well-sustained charities. SinUlen hursts
of generosity oome easy to everybody,
you know, and frequently do more harm
than good: to live up to the text, "Be
not weary in well doing" is quite another
matter. It is the unremitting care, the
continual giving often involving per
sonal sacrifice, which counts in the
long run, both here below and in Saint
Peter's diary. To the credit of Wash
ington women in heaven’s books are the
Children Hospital, Home for Insurables,
Maternity Hospital, Working-women's
Retreat, the Winter Soup-Kitchen, the
Florence Home for the rescue of young
girls from a life of shame; the place
where.criminals, Just released from pris
on, are taken in and cared for until able
to look about them; and various other in
stitutions, each invaluable in its line. A
few wealthy ladies, like Mrs. Hearst and
Mrs. Letter, annually give large sums to
these charities; and of course the others
get the bulk of their contributions, with
out special effort, from their husbands,
fathers and brothers. Yet a great deal of
money must be raised every year, by
their own work, and self-denial in the
■way of gowns and bonnets. Now, every
body knows that gowns and bonnets are
as dear to the femline heart as "the poor
ye have always;” and therefore the la
dies are perpetually devising new ways
to raise the needed funds without en
croaching to deeply upon their
pin-money. Charity balls are an
old device; but here, being
made the swellest affair of
the season, annually yields its thousands
of dollars. Lawn fetes, bazaars, kettle
drums, etcetera, all have their frequent
turn and net pretty well, because Fame
Fashion decrees it; but it remains for nov
elties to produce the most gratifying re
sults. Last year it was a series of milli
nery sales, held in Senator Depew’s gar
den, when the ladies contributed Paris
“creations" that cost a good deal of
money (mostly of previous seasons) and
made hundreds of just as pretty hats and
bonnets themselves, all of which found
ready sale, at astonishing prices. This
spring, in order to increase the fund for
the Working Girls’ Retreat, it was a
house-to-house canvass by the young la
dies of fashionable St. John's Parish, sell
ing home-made candies in little boxes—at
about ten times the regular price of bet
ter stuff In the candy shops. But every
body bought, as a matter of course, and
as a result, the Retreat is well endowed
for the summer of 1901. The newest de
vice originated in the fertile brain of an
Italian woman of the diplomatic corps,
and is now being carried out with groat
success. It is a regular street market,
carried on by the aristocratic Board of
I-ady Visitors of the Foundling Hospital.
Every Saturday, from 9 a. m. to 6 in the
afternoon. they sell all the veg
etables of the season, together
with butter, eggs. fruits, flowers,
home-made cakes, pies and candles, at
said-to-be regular market prices, and de
liver all purchases free of charge. It is
worth paying double for one’s peas and
potatoes, for sticky candy and amateur
cake and dubious cheese, to see the same
haggled over by society leaders at their
respective “stands,” who, as a rule, know
no more what the price of edibles ought
to be than do the vegetables they ore sell
ing. The ladles draw the line at meat,
fish and other "dead things,” and most
of them have the good taste to leave all
their finery at home; though occasionally
such unconscious incongruities are ob
served as a thousand dollar diamond fas
tening a calico shirt-waist, or a fortune In
gems on fingers that are handling pota
toes. However, the idea Is a good one.
and may be profitably copied in other
pjacee. Last year, street fuirs were pop
ular all over the country, to the gain
of the merchants; how would it do this
year, to give the ladles a chance, with
their Saturday market, to raise money
for their pet projects, in the towns and
villages?
Nowadays, after a betrothal has been
announced, the fashionable world does
not wait for an Invitation to the wedding,
or even for the important day to be fixed,
to begin sending in its bridal presents.
The two most prominent brides-to-be of
the near future—Miss Martha Hlchbom
and Miss Edith Patten—are already de
luged with costly articles, some of them
from the merest acquaintances. Wedding
gifts are frequently an embarrassment
of riches, which their recipients would
gladly forego. As gratitude Is said to be
“a lively sense of benefit to come," so
such unsolicited favors, are sometimes
bids for social recognition In the way of
return. Mrs. James O. Blaine has given
her future daughter a superb sliver ser

The most observed man in Washington
just now—even more than Ills Eminence,
the new Cardinal, Is Count Colacicchi, of
the Papal Guard. Indeed, it is impossi
ble to overlook him, wherever he goes, as
—being considerably over six feel tall, he
towers head and shoulders above the
common herd of men. The fact that he
is yet in his twenties, makes his elevation
to the distinguished position the more
remarkable. Count Colacicchi is also a
soldier and lawyer of note in Italy, well
educated, well-bred and reported to be
extremely wealthy. No wonder that the
young ladies of Washington are paying
particular attention to their religious du
ties in these days—ln the churches where
he is expected to be present! Even the
men who have met him socially—and their
name is legion—are. admirers of the hand

goes soon on a sight-seeing tour, with Chi
cago for Its ultima thule, and sails for
Rome not later than August.
Prince and Princess Khevenhuller, who
have been in Mexico representing the Em
peror of Austria at the consecration of
the memorial chapel at Queretaro, erected
to mark the spot where the Emperor
Maximilian was • executed, thirty-four
years ago, and made a flying visit to
Washington before sailing for home. It
is a matter of special rejoicing here that
the honors thus paid to the ill-fated mon
arch are a prelude to resumption of the
long-severed diplomatic relations between
Austria and Mexico. The latter republic
not only gave the site of the chapel, DUt
was officially represented at the ceremony,
and while in Washington, Prince and
Princess Khevenhuller accptcd courtesies
from the Mexican as well as the Austrian
legations. The closing of this tragic in
ternational incident, after so many try
ing years, is especially welcome here, at
diplomatic headquarters, where "strained
relations” are continually bringing about
most embarrassing situations. Times
without number, distressing complications
have occurred when ignorant, or un
thinking bests and hostesses have at
tempted to entertain personages on both
sides, and their sympathizers at the same
time. Even the White House will not be
visited on occasions of official ceremony
by parties lo the feud, in company, and
diplomats have left dinner-parties in high
dudgeon, to the confusion of the hostess,
because the so-called enemies to their
country were also present—though per
chance both upholders of the ancient ven
detta were unborn when the original
grievance occurred. Prince Khevenhuller
is hereditary Grand Master of the court
of Austria, a Knight of the Golden
F’leece. and one of the chief magistrates
of the dual empire. He was chosen by
the Emiteror Francis Joseph to represent
the Austrian Imperial family at the re
cent ceremonies in Queretaro, because he
had been "boys together" with poor Max
imilian, and was his closest friend and
companion In happier days, before the
ambition of relatives forced a crown up
on him.
Speaking of Maximilian, In a recent
tour of Mexico, the writer, drove out
from Quoretaro to the place where he
was killed. Wishing to realize more per
fectly the scene of '67, we went at the
same hour, In the early morning twilight,
and over the same road that the victims
passed to execution. It Is a dreary, three
mile ride, over a desert country north of
the old city, to El Cerro de las Campa
nas, the fatal spot. A stony eminence,
rising abruptly a hundred feet from the
plain, was covered with earthworks dur
ing the Empire—hence Its name Cerro
(hill) "of the fortifications." It Is the
most desolate region imaginable—all sand
and volcanic stone—without leaf, shrub,
or living thing In sight. About half wny
up the Cerro were three slabs of dark
red stone, erected to mark the exact
spot where the Emperor fell, between hla
two faithful companions In arms, Gens.
Mejia and Mtramon. An aged Queretaran,
who witnessed the execution, told me
some hitherto unpublished Incidents of
the tragic time. He said that Maximilian’s
greatest sorrow was for his beloved Car
lotta, who had hastened to Europe, to
■heg on her knees for the life of her hus
band. and having failed In her mission had
become sudednly Insane. Immediately aft
er his death-wararnt had been signed by
his conqueror, Juarez, the Indian Presi
dent, the fallen Emperor wrote this pa
thetlo letter: "My Beloved Carlotta: If
God ever permits you to recover, and to
read these lines, you will learn the cru
elty of the fate that has not ceased to
pursue me since your departure. You
carried with you my soul and my happi
ness. Why did I not listen to you?
Alas! So many unexpected and unmerited
cat ns trophies have overshadowed me
that I have no more hope In my heart,
and await death as a delivering angel. I
die without agony. I shall fall with
glory, like a soldier—like a conquered
king. If you have not the power to bear
so much suffering—lf God soon reunites
us, I shall bless the Divine hand that
has so severely stricken u>. Adieu!
Adiu! Thy poor Max,”
"Poor Max." Indeed! But Infinitely poor
er Carlotta, to whom the boon of death
has been so long denied. It must be re
membered that they were both young,
deeply In love with each other, and with
nothing but good will toward all the
world in their hearts. Eor themselves,
they had no lofty ambitions, and would
have asked nothing letter of fate than to
have been left In undisturbed peace and
tranquility in the ancestral castle. Their
undoing was wrought by the ambitions of
others. 11l order to soothe his last hours,
a friend told Maximilian a merciful lie—
that Carlotta was dead. The Emperor be
lieved It, and after that aeemed to have
forgotten ail carlhly .ares and looked for
ward to nls own end with Impatience.
On the last morning (June 29th),

sacrament for the dying. Then mass was
celebrated In his prison, and at 4 o’clock
he announced himself ready. A carriage
and file of soldiers were walling outside,
anil he walked briskly forth, with Mna
mon and Mej’n. As they reached the street
the twittering of awakening birds was
heard, and the scent of orange blossoms
esnie wafted on the breeze. The Emperor
remarked cheerfully, "What a beautiful
morning! I have always wished that my

FRANCIS JOSEPH OF AUSTRIA IN THE FIELD.
REVIEWING THE TROOPS.
In spite of his seventy years the Aus
trian Emperor, Francis Joseph, is one of
the most active of men, and in nothing
does he show his energies more than in
the work he takes upon himself at the
great field manoeuvers of the Austrian
army. He Is a soldier from head to foot,
last day might be like this.” When they
reached the place of execution, the pris
oners refused to be bound or blindfolded,
but calmly placed themselves in position—
their backs against the wall, their faces
toward the firing squad. Maxlmillian
shook hands with each soldier in turn and
presented him with a small sum of money;
then pinning a small crucifix upon his
coat, directly above his heart, he said,
"Aim here.” Stepping back into line, he
took a handkerchief from his pocket,
gazed a second upon his imperial crown
and coat-of-arms which Carlotta had em
broidered upon it in happier days; then
handed it to his valet, Tubos, and instruct
ed him to give It to his mother, the
Archduchess Siophia, at Vienna. We are
glad to l-amember that Maximiliian’s
latest thought, like those of most right
minded “children of large growth,” turn
ed instinctively to his mother when In dire
extremity. Then for a full minute he
looked about him; at the shining, cloudless
sky of the land he had come to rule, and
the morning mists just lifting from the
valley; at the far off town, with its in
numerable church spires and convent
towers; at the sunlight glinting along the
carbines pointed at his heart, and the cu
rious people who had come to see him
die, among whom there was but one
friend, the w r eeping servant. Then with a
smile and the words, “Vive Mexico!” upon
his lips, he gave the signal himself to the
soldiers. Five shots rang out; the trio fell,
mortally wounded, and each died without
a struggle. As the Emperor sank slowly
upon his right side he was heard to
whisper the Spanish word, “Hombre,”
(man), but what thought was passing in
his mind will never he known.
Apropos of Mexico, one of our United
States consuls, who has recently seen
President Diaz, said a few days ago:
“Sorry as I am to say it, it is my opin
ion that Mexico’s President has not half
a year to live. Every precaution is being
taken to conceal his condition from the
country at large; but the fact remains
that he is practically a dead man. Physi
cians who have examined his ease tell
me that his malady is a peculiar one, and
hoiteless from the start. The blood-vessels
in his brain are gradually thickening, re
flucing the vigor of his mind, destroying
his memory and making it impossble for
hm to think clearly. The disease is grad
ually progressive and must inevitably re
sult fatally. Nothing that has so far been
done has checked It in the least, or af
forded any relief. To-day he is a mere
figurehead on his own throne, so to
speak, but so propped up and surround
ed by stanch friends and officials of his
own appointing, that things appear to
go on as usual and few mistrust the real
truth of the situation. All good Mexicans
greatly fear the death of the much-be
loved President, for nobody knows what
anarchy and confusion will follow his
demise."

THE WAY IT WAS.
The Bedfast Man Who Got Up
and Went to Business.
This is the way it was. The man had
been sick with "rheumatism and a com
plication of troubles,” and had been bed
fast all winter. He had three of the best
physiciansin attendance, but hiscondition
baffled their skill. Then it chanced that
i pamphlet was put into his hands. He
read of cures of men and women whose
londition suggested his own, and he said:
" That medicine is just what I need.
Send for a bottle at once."
If every sick person would reason as
ogically and act as promptly as did this
nan, there would be many more bedfast
\ people able to be up and go to business.
3very human body is organically alike,
"he blood is the life of the richest man
is well as the poorest. If a king’s blood
jets out of order the same conditions fol-
ow in his body as in any other man’s.
If a millionaire’s blood be impure, his
wealth can’t preserve him from the skin
iruptions which usually indicate the
ilood’s impurity. And if either king or
millionaire wants to be cured, he has to
ise the means open to the poorest person
in the land. There is no royal road to
health more than to learning.
ALL PEOPLE ARE ALIKE.
Since we are all alike, flesh and blood,
then what cures disease of flesh and
blood in one case should cure it in any
case under similar conditions. That was
the argument of the man who was bed
fast and the sequel proved it to be sound
and logical.
" Quite a number of years ago, when I
was a girl at home, my father was pros
trated upon a bed of sickness,” writes
Mrs. P. M. Wheeler, of No. 2 Ann Place,
Bradford, Pa. "He had rheumatism and
a complication of troubles which baffled
the skill of three of our best physicians.
All through the winter months he lay
upon his bed, suffering severely at times
with rheumatism in his limbs. While in
this condition a pamphlet containing a
description of Dr. Pierce’s remedies fell
into his hands. I do not remember
whether it was left at the door or came
through the mails, but I do remember
of his sitting up in bed and reading it
through and then exclaiming, ‘ That
medicine is just what I need ! Send for
a bottle at once ! ’ Just then a neighbor
came along who was going to town (we
lived in the country, five miles from the
nearest drug store) and we sent for a
bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discover}'. We laid aside the doctor’s
medicines and commenced giving my
father the ‘ Golden Medical Discovery ’
according to directions. The first three
days he felt worse, as is often the case.
After that he commenced to gain. His
physician was surprised at the change in
must needs be stone cold or they will
get soggy and smelly.
Always set away cooked things In
uncovered dishes. Wire gauze dish
covers will keep out dust and admit of
ventilation. They are, however, too
costly for many purses. A good substi
tute is a hoop or oval of stout wire with
either cheesecloth or mosquito net sewed
firmly over It. Make the hoops of sizes
to fit all sorts of dishes, or, rather, of
sizes to stand an Inch beyond the edges
they must cover. The weight of the wire
holds them well down. Every week drop
the covers in a wash boiler with water
and a little soda, boll for five minutes,
and dry in the sun.
Light and lime, the best of all anti
septics, should be relied on to keep the
fresh air closets sweet. Hang a bag of
quicklime somewhere, and charge the
contents as fast as the lime slacks. In
country or suburban houses ants are of
ten a plague. A ring of air slacked lime
an Inch wide and a half an Inch deep will
keep them out of a dish holding food.
They can not crawl over a shelf thickly
dusted with powdered lime. But since
they travel always hy definite roads. It Is
well to find the path end block it by a
smear of coal or pine tar, applied, if pos
sible, outside the pantry.
Save in freezing weather, keep fruits,
vegetable* and cut flowers in the fresh
air closet until wanted. Cooked meats
and salt ones can stay there the year
around, and fresh meats in cold water.
It Is further the place for such things as
Cheese, nuts, raisins, dates andl olives. All
of these lose flavor or grow rank hy
keeping In a warm place, or by suffering
great alternation of temperature.

loud in his praise of Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery as he told of the
wonderful cure it performed in his case
"You may publish this if you desire to
do so. I have no doubt but that many
will read it who will remember the cir
cumstances perfectly well.”
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
has an unsurpassed record as a blood
purifying medicine. Not only does it
cure rheumatism but diseases in general
which have their cause in an impure
condition of the blood, such as eczema
scrofula, erysipelas, boils, pimples ull
cers, sores, etc. The cures effected t 7
" Golden Medical Discovery ” are perfect
and permanent. Some medicines drive
the surface symptoms of disease in, tn.
stead of out; they cover disease but do
not cure it. "Golden Medical Discovery”
drives out of the blood the corrupting
poisons and impurities
which cause disease, and
it establishes the body ; a
sound health.
A SPRING MEDICINE. 3
Because of its blood pu
rifying powder and tonic
qualities." Golden Medical
Discovery” is an ideal
spring medicine. There
is no alcohol in the" Di
scovery ” and it is entirely
free from opiates and nar
cotics. It does not stimu
late, but imparts real:
| strength and permanent
vigor.
"It gives me much
pleasure to testify to the
merits of Dr.' Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discov
ery,” writes Miss Annie
Wells, of Fergussons
Wharf, Isle of Wight Cos.,
Va. "I can say honestly
and candidly that it is the
grandest medicine ever
compounded for purifying
the blood. I suffered ter
ribly with rheumatism,
and pimples on the skin
and swelling in my lenees and feet so
that I could not walk. I spent about
twenty dollars paying doctors’ bills but
received no benefit. A year or two ago
I was reading one of your Memorandum
Books and I decided to try Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery and ‘ Favorite
Prescription,’ and am entirely cured.”
Sometimes a dealer tempted by the
little more profit paid on the sale of less
meritorious medicines will offer the cus
tomer a substitute as being ” just as good”
as the ” Discovery.” It is better for him
because it pays better, but it is not as
good for you, if you want the medicine
that has cured others.
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cleanse the
bowels and stimulate the sluggish liver.
Men or women suffering from chronic
forms of disease are invited to consult
Dr. Pierce by letter free. All corres
pondence held as strictly private and
sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R.V.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
This offer of free consultation by letter
is not to be confounded with offers of
"free medical advice,” which in some
cases are made by those who have neither
medical knowledge or experience, and
are professionally and legally incompe
tent to practise medicine. Dr. Pierce’s
offer not only places freely at the dis
posal of the sick his own valuable advice
as a specialist, but also the advice of the
medical staff associated with him, num
bering nearly a score of skilled physi
cians.
