THE DAILY ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, , WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 1', 1894
QUEER SPRIGS OF GENTILITY.
Prince Victor Napoleon has, I hear
turned over a new leaf, got rid of the
feminine entanglement that had es-
trangeu nun iium bh rii-uue !' -
pie, mciuuing nis rciauvcs, ana nas ei-
fected a reconciliation with his aunt,
Empress Eugenie..
He has evidently taken to heart the
snuus wnicn ne nas ueeu receiving uur-
lng the last few months, livst of all at
St. Petershurg, where nis very decent;
young biother was treated by the czar to en& the author to pose as the Hol
es a near and dear relative and accord-' man of Astoria the -great Objector
cd lmierlal honors, whereas he, the
head or the house, was leu entirely un-
noticed and in the background; and
Bccouuiy, xj. uodco u.. Ul
Princess Josephine's wedding to Prince
Charles, of Hohenzollern, when not only
ne yvhb not uu:u wo.., Ui,n.uiu
festlvltles, but even failed to have the
vlBlts that he had paid to the Belgian
and foreign royalties ln Brussels at the
time returned in person, as etiquette re
quires, cards being merely sent Instead
by equerries. .
This Is not astonishing when one
bears In mind that the prince was no
toriously living with an antiquated
member of the Parisian demi-monde.
whose only attraction lu. his eyes was
her vast wealth. The Intimacy has
been of many years' standing. And it
was this that his father referred to
when ho used to remark that Victor's
means of livelihood were "Inavouable,"
that Is to say, unavowable. Yet the late
prince was certainly no prude, and wa3
known in his day as one of the most
profligate royal personages in existence.
Over and over again we have Victor's
brother, his mother, his uncle, King
Humbert, and his aunts. Princess Ma
thilda and the Empress Eugenie, en
treating him to cut adrift from the
woman, offering to provide him' a fair
income If he would do so. But until re
cently he has turned a deaf ear to their
requests, preferring unlimited means
rtnd a household mounted on a royal
scale from unclean sources to a mod
erate Income of respectable origin.
Now, however, he has at length seen
the error of his ways. " He has been
spending a fortnight at Farnborough
with Empress Eugenie, and Inasmuch as
she, during the course of his visit took
him with her to Windsor, where' he
dined with Queen Victoria and slept at
the castle, we may take it for granted
that the Imperial rake has reformed.
It Is noteworthy that the English
court fully recognizes his chieftainHhig
of the court of Bonaparte, for In the
court circular which is edited by the
queen ln person, he is described as "his
imperial highness, Prlaae Napoleon,"
and at dinner sat at the queen's left,
the czaiowitz occupying the seat aw
her rlsht.
As In the case of Dumas' Monte Chris
to there has always been a swift schoon
er and a steam yacht -with steam up
ln the little port constructs by the
Archduke at the foot of the hill. They
are ln readiness day and night for in
stant departure, and frequently, ln the
morning, one or the other Is found to
have sailed during the night, with its
Imperial owner on board, who re:nains
absent for whole months together, with
out any Intimation being received
cither on his island home or at Vienna
us to his whereabouts.
The collections of art treasures, an
tiquities and bric-abrac of one kind and
another that he has picked up during
these mysterious trips are something
beyond conccp'tlon. The buildings on
the property are simply stocked with
them, and when the moment comes for
the archduke to take his place In an
other world the museum that secures
possession thereof may esteem itself
fi.itunata Indeed.
Only once has he been .vUited by a
member of the imperial family, and!
that was a couple of years ago, when
the empress staid on the Island for a
week. Mme. l'Archidue and her fair
charges being relegated to another
abode for the time being.
Shipwrecks of royal personages are
so rare in modern times that they at
tract an unusual amount of attantlon.
The only other one that has occurred
in late years, barring, of course, the
loss of . Archduke John's ship, was the
foundering of the Princess Alice, the
steam yacht of the prince of Monaco,
oft the Riviera; coast. I believe that
she was subsequently raised and It Is
now once more afloat and in commis
sion. The Empress of Austria's yacht, the
Oreif, it is true, struck a reef some
where in the Mediterranean a year ago,
but managed to get oft without sustain
ing much injury and without having
been obliged to disembark her majesty..
COMMUNICATED.
Editor Astorian: -
In your Issue of Friday, July 27th,
there appears an article purporting to
be "A Report Containing Some Very
Interesting Facts." With all due deffer
ence to the author, who is evidently
emulating Mr. Gradgrlnd In his pursuit
of facts. It is very apparent to the care
ful reader that facts are not always
synonymous with truth.
The author "estimates" by some men
tal process of -his own, the number of
high school pupils as 58, whereas, ac
cording to the enrollment the number
as stated by one in authority is 70.
Either much has been omitted ln giv
ing the data, or there Is no great degree
of accuracy in" the arlthmatlcal calcula
tion. For example, $14,506.50, "the total
salaries of the teachers." divided by
S84, "the total enrollment," gives $14.83
aa "the average cost per public school
pupil,: Instead of $22.90 as staled.
Another fact (?) given, "the total
teachers' salaries in the high school
amounted to $2750 a year." The real
facte are -these: Prof. Wright's work
Includes ' the supervision of all the
grades ln the building n amount of

Has Its influence on the lower grades
been such as to Incite ambition among
the pupils? 1 l ! ! , vi
Let any citizen Investigate the real
facts and not rely Implicitly upon any
newspaper article.
The present rate of school tax Is 2 1-2
mills 12.50 on every $1000 assessment
the price, forsooth, of half a box of
cigars. .
Is any taxpayer ln this enlightened
age so benighted, so lost to a sense of
his duty as a citizen, as to grumble
because a small part of that tax is ap
plied to running the high school? Our
frlnd says 20 per cent is go used,
though this is too large an estimate.
Granting the 20 per cent, It would be
four bits on every $1000 he is assessed
a sum easily thrown away on some trifle
or self-indulgence without a thought
but spent for education ah ! that Is a
very different matter. EDUCATE.

The business man who says that ad
vertising does not pay does not adver
tise. He is the one that always doubts
the prosperous trade reports he hears of
his competitor, who does advertise. He
sits ln the back of his store, smokes his
pipe and wonders why he Isn't making
any money. He has the blues when he
should have trade. He not only lets his
neighbor get that neighbor's share of
the business, but a good part of his also,
He sees, people- whom he thought old
friends of his go Into his competitor's
store and come out with bundles of
goods, when he has the same articles on
his shelves, and perhaps at lower prices
than they paid his competitor for them

He feels that to make money he must
be willing to spend some; that there Is
strong competition In all lines of busi
ness, and to get his share of tho trade
he must advertise, and to do it in the
most skillful and intelligent way. If he
cannot write advertising matter himself,
he seeks the aid of some one who has

It is properly written in a catchy and

is to take off the shoulders of a busy
man all the worry of making up an ad.
No business man attempts to cure his
own sickness, pull his own teeth, make
his own clothes or attend to his own
law cases? He employs specialists for
each of .these various services, and
saves money by doing it It is through
its language and arrangement that an
advertisement gets Its business-bringing

something of Interest, something out of
