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.

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 some young giant, whose knowledge of English and general bon comaraderie make him so easy to get along with, lie 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), be arose at 3: Si tid received the 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 THE MOKNXNG kEWS: SUDNAF, MAY 19. 1901. 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." A ROCK THAT WRECKS MEN’S LIVES. I)r.

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.

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.

"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.
