EX-tAlPR:SS CARLOTFA OF MEXICO, MAD FOR MANY YEAR:,, IS NOW DYING

Ever Since 186? She Has Kept Mock Conn in a Chateau hear Brussels, Belfium. Believin? That ihe Hurderen Maximilian, Her LoTer-Husband, Still Lives. .

A GAIN conus word that Curlotta, *xempreu, but to-daj- little more than a craxrd and pitiful tr os an almost forgotten la tar national tragedy, la dying at.her chateau In the environs of Bruascls, Belgium. Death to her would be a mercy. A bride at 17, an empress at 24, s madwoman at H, Carious represecta la her own person not only tbs tragedy of a chimerical empire, but the traditional misfortunes of the luckless houss of Uss Hspsburgs. and the vanity of earthly am-

bitions.

Thirty-seven y ears ago the beautiful young empraos of Mexico parted with the lover-husband, to whom aha had boon married only ten years, to sail teas and Inrokefor hlmtheaidotprfacaa, temporal and spiritual. They never met again, and neithar aver knew wh; hulllan. led out with bandaged

Shakespeare would have done Justice to a story like Maximilian and Carlotta’s. His pen could have drawn their happiness In paradise, of their early married life, and then the insidious entrance of the serpent of ambition. Introduced by scheming statesmen with the coldhearted Third Napoleon at their head. It

pleased the powers that Mexico should be an empire. So. like the tempter of old. they took Maximilian up on an exceedingly high mountain, showed him that kingdom and all.the glories thereof, and promised “all thfse will I give unto thee. 1 Fate's last most exquisite touch of Irony In the situation was. that had they continued the Idyllic, unpretentious life at Miramar, the crown of ail the Austrians would have come to them through the suicide In 188S of Maximilian's nephew, Crown Prince Rudolph, which would have made Ferdinand the next heir had he then been living. Csglotta, as empress' of a country which wished to be arepubllc, played her losing game brarely. and even brilliantly. In magnificence of her court. In perextravagance, she wd almost a id Eugenie. She was sincerely Inin her people, gave Mexlrolllan counsel In state mutters, restored the seml-rulned Chapultepee. palace of the Axtec kings, and rebuilt the celebrated "Montezuma hath " When the climax of the lil-fated Mex..an empire, came. Maxi miliar, was m with ^ever. and hla pretence at the aeat Of trouble was imperative. The empress undertook to return to Europe to invo) e sfd of Napoleon III., nnd of the pope. But Napoleon, who had gotten them Into thl* predicament, waa not going to helpthere Then )t was that the am mad | symptoms manifested themselves. 8b left Napoleon In despair, and arriving at the Grand hotel In Paris, she had an at-

tack of insanity.

In many quarters In Mexico to-day a more sinister cause for her mt ntal breakdown Is implicitly believed In. It Is asserted that a decoction of the "Kx-o root." which produces Insanity, waa secretly Introduced into her food by some disaffected subject. But whatever the cause of her madness. It has never left her. Reports of her death were sent tp her husband shortly before bis own exe-, cutlon. thus sparing him one torment. J The ax-empreu has been conBned fer many years In the Chateau de Bon chat, near Brussels. For years she has made pathetic pretense of bolding conn, ordering the pictures taken down from the walls, that she might give them attendants—who would quietly replace them—and excited by all visitors sav< her sister-in-law. the late Queen Henrietta of Belgium Between h<r brother.

THE NECESSARY MAGAZINE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR. The Review of Reviews is often called a necessity, in recognition of its usefulness in keeping readers "up with the times.” ^ In Presidential election years the REVIEW OF REVIEWS is more than ever ** the necessary magazine." Everybody wants to be truly and quickly informed about this or that public question that has forged to the front; to know about the new candidatea and personal factors in politics, to have a complete picture at hand of the current movement of

history.
