WEDNESDAY EVENING, EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA DIES SUDDENLY The death of Francis Joseph is a remarkable climax to the long list of tragedies In the Hapaburg family—a list unparalleled In any other reign ing house In Europe. He dies in the midst of the world's greatest war, which lio himself largely brought about by his determination to avenge the act of assassination of his holr. the Archduke Francis Ferdinandr a tho result of an alleged Serbian con spiracy, while on a state visit to Bos nia on June 28, 1914. Francis Joseph was 86 years old at j (he time of his death. Ho was born I August 18, 1830. He was only nine teen years of age when he ascended the throne off Austria, upon tho ab | dication of his uncle, Ferdinand 1., ; December 2, IS4B, making his active | reign extend over a period of 68 years, all but the first twenty of which he was also Apostolic King of Hun ! gary. It is doubtful that if in all his tory there has been an active, auth enticated reign that was longer. Tradition says a Pharach ruled for 9!> years and there is the more creditable i instance of Ramases 11, Seostris of the Greeks, whose reign is reputed to have covered 67 years. But in record ed history there certainly has been no reign of equal duration to that of Francis Joseph. Louis XIV, of France was nominally King for 72 years. He actually occupied the throne for little more than half a century. A closer rival, and the only one of modern times was Queen Victoria who reigned for 64 years. The aged monarch, although he had suffered serious inroads upon his health for many years past, was strong enough to keep a firm grip on affairs of state almost to the last. There were repeated reports of a serious illness from a bronchial af fection and frequently rumors of his | death, which were proven unfounded, when official announcements were made from Vienna. Some of the re ports asserted that his mind had be come affected through worry over the great war, but the truth of these rumors were not admitted. In November, 1915, on the occasion of a visit of Emperor William of Ger many to Vienna, it was rumored that | Francis Joseph was about to make a possible move for a separate peace, but Tanlac Benefits Marsh Run Farmer | Suffered from Insomnia and Nervous Breakdown But Tanlac Believed Itlm HECOMMEND IT TO ALL "I was a nervous wreck," says Nel son Baker, a well-known farmer whose home is at Marsh Run, Pa., "My nerves I were in such terrible shape that I j thought they were beyond repair and I had given up hope of ever being well : again," 1 "1 couldn't sleep at all, some nights I would get to sleep for an hour or two when 1 was completely exhausted but other nights I would roll and toss un til daylight came and I would get up feeling as if 1 couldn't stand the agony another day.' "I searched high and low for some medicine that would at least bring me one good night's rest but none of them had the desired effect and I was al most out of my mind from the strain." "I think someone told me about Tanlac and whoever it was praised it so highly that I bought a bottle as a sort of forlorn hope although I had been disappointed so often that I did not expect it to do me any good." "It is wonderful! I can hardly be lieve that It is true when I realize what a marvelous improvement this medi cine has brought about in my condi tion." "I am a changed mij.n and T feel as if I could dance for joy.. I sleep now from the moment my head touches the pillow until time to get up and I wake up feeling fresh as a daisy. My nerves are quieted and strengthened and my whole system seems to have been given a thorough toning up. "Tanlac is certainly a wonderful medicine and I know from experience that it is the best remedy on the mar ket for anyone who Is nervous or run down.' Tanlac the famous reconstructive tonic is now being introduced here at' Gorgas' Drug Store where the Tanlac man is meeting the people and describ ing the benefits to be derived from the use of this master medicine.

I HARRI6BURG TELEGRAPH AUSTRIAN EMPEROR DIES FRANCIS JOSEPH. owing to the strict censorship In Aus tria, . there was no confirmation of such a report. Directly Precipitated War The ultimatum of July 23, 1914, which Francis Joseph sent to King Peter ot' Serbia, denouncing the anti- Austrian propaganda in that country and demanding prompt punishment of the assassins of Archduke Ferdinand, was supposedly dictated by Francis Joseph himself and it was this docu ment that directly precipitated the war now ravaging Europe. Five days later, after Serbia had complied with all the demands with the excep tion of agreeing to allow Austrian authorities to enter Serbia to stamp out the alleged anti-Austrian con spiracies, Francis Joseph declared war. In his manifesto of that date, July 28, he said: "The intrigues of a malevolent op ponent compel me in defense of the honor of my monarchy and for the protection of its dignity and the se curity of its possessions to grasp the sword after long years of peace. "The hope that Serbia would keep its word has not been fulfilled; the flame of its hatred for myself and my house has always blazed higher. "In this solemn hour I am fully conscious of the whole significance of my resolve and my responsibility before the Almighty. I have ex amined and weighed everything, and with serene conscience set out on the path that duty points." Eventful Reign Aside from the great war Francis Joseph's reign was one of the most eventful in history. From his im perial • vantage point he saw the French monarchy go down, the Second Empire rise and crumble, tne Com mune flare briefly, and the Republlu of to-day rtee on its ashes; he saw the black pinions of the Prussian eagle stamped on the flag of the new German Empire later to tower threateningly over Austria Itself; he saw the papacy shorn of its territorial demesne, while about a blickering family of petty principalities was wielded Into united Italy; he saw Spain, once the greatest of colonial powers, lose the last of her depen dencies in two oceans; he saw Japan opened to Western civilization, and later defeat the sprawling Colossus of two continents; he saw the most absolute despotisms—Russia, Turkey and Persia—concede representation to the people, he saw at a distance the the United States cement its federa tion with the blood of a great interne cine war, and he saw his own brother prove that monarchy could not take new root on American soli. In his own country he faced in ternal dissensions and external ag gressions from the moment he came to the throne. By the war of 1859 wltii France and Sardinia, ho was forebd to cede Lombardy trt Italy; by force of arms and treaty he lost the Duchy of Holstein to Prussia and Venice to Italy; and by the revolt of Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot, he barely escaped having his dual em pire cut in two. But in human interest his personal sorrows overshadowed all. One after another they came upon him. In 1853 the list of tragic incident began with an attempt upon his own life. In 1867 his brother, the Archduke Maximilian, after throe years' experi ment as Emperor of Mexico was cap tured by the army of the patriots and condemned to death by a court martial whose sentence was executed notwithstanding intercession in his he half by the governments of the United States, England and Prussia. Violent Doatlis in Family There followed the burning to death of a niece in Vienna: a sister met similar fate in Paris; and a cousin drowned himself in Stahrenberg Lake. Yet these were but minor tragedies In comparison with that which befell the ancient house of the I-lapsburgs In 1889 when Rudolf, the imperial prince upon whom the Austrians pin ned their hopes, met death in a mys tery which to this day is not cleared. Graves hold the secret of that fate ful night at a hunting lodge in Meyer ling.

One "true story" relates that the Crown Prince was struck dead by Baltazzl, a Hun garian chevalier who loved the Baron ess Marie Vetsera and who was frenzied by finding the girl and Prince Rudolf together in the castle of Meyerling after the Crown Prince had given his pledge oot to see the girl again. Another that the Crown Prince killed the uncle of ftho young Baroness when he came to rescue her and that both of the young lovers afterward committed suicide. The truth is not known. Clouded in still deeper mystery, if possible, was the disappearance that same year of Francis Joseph's favorite nephew, the Archduke Johann Salva tor. Heir to the throne at the death of Rudolf, he renounced all his im perial dignities and fled the country as John Orth, captain of a merchant ship, never to be heard of again. The next of kin, the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, who became heir . pre sumptive, added a further burden to his uncle's heart by morganatic mar riage to Sophie, the countess of Cho tek. It was he and his wife who were assassinated at Sarajevo in June, 1914. But it is doubtful if any or all of these reverses weighed more heavily upon the Emperor's heart than the tragedy at Geneva, when the Em press Elizabeth, who has been called the most beautiful womah in Europe, was stabbed to death by a man, Ital ian anarchist, in 1898. True, she long had been estranged from the Emperor, but he had never ceased to respect and adore her. When a courier brought him the news of the crime he exclaimed: "Alas, nothing can bo spared me, nothing." After each blow lie renewed his devotion to the state, his only solace being in harder work. He labored prodigiously. He was beloved for his kindliness, his modesty, and rectitude, and ht3 high moral courage made it possible for him to hold in leash the Czechs, the Poles, the Serbs, the Ruthenians and the Buigars, who made up tho mosaic of nationalities in his dual empire. Gossip dealt plentifully ■with his private life, filled with romance and misfortune. It is related that his mother intended him to marry Prin cess Helena, eldest daughter of Duke Max of Bavaria. With passive indif ference the young Emperor agreed to his mother's wishes, and set out to pay court to his intended bride. He got no further than the park sur rounding the Duke's castle, where he spied a little girl whose extraordinary beauty attracted him. He learned that she was Princess Elizabeth, younger sister of his In tended. He resolved that Elizabeth should be his bride and so she became in 1854. In addition to her beauty Elizabeth was highly endowed with talents, but she found no welcome at court. The Emperor's mother would hardly coun tenance the match, and all of the Viennese aristocracy held aloof from her. Elizabeth returned scorn for scorn. Her enemies bore her every tale that could wound her pride and estrange her love. At last they suc ceeded. In a burst of pique she fled to her native Bavaria. She came back, but the Viennese never forgave her. They charged her with loving fox hunting in Ireland better than her duty and preferred to remember her always as the absent wife. The estrangement widened. The Emperor was fond of pretty women and Vienna did not lack them. The Empress grew more and more to con sider herself "a dutiful sovereign lady," and less and less a wife. The tragic death of her only son drew her nearer to her husband for a while, but there came a succeeding period of stronger repulsion, and thereafter she almost disappeared from the Hof burg. Then appeared Katharlna Schratt., formerly of the imperial theater. By her tact and wit she succeeded In creating for herself a place below but beside the throne, never accorded be fore her time so openly and so per manently to any woman. Speculation as to her relations with the Emperor was wide and malicious. Of course it found its way to the Empress, and there followed an incident which tes tifies to her uncommon delicacy and courage. Nettled by the continual humilia tion of such distasteful scandal mon gerlng she devised a way to end it. One day she took her youngest daugh ter by the hand, and, to the immeas ureable astonishment of her guests, set out to pay a long call on Frau Schratt at her country palace In Ischl, where all tlie world knew the Km peror spent hours daily. That ended It effectually. It was impossible to gossip before the Empress about a condition which she herself had so cially legalized by her presense. Whatever the truth about Kath arlna Schratt and the Emperor, she had the good sense never to attempt to Influence him politically. Those of her predecessors who had dared more boldly paid the penalty of sud den and noiseless removal from his surroundings. When upon the assassination of the Empress, the court wont Into mourning, Frau Schratt was seen but little. Shortly, the old Intimacy was openly resumed, but It was Impossible to continue malignant about a friendship, that lengthened Into old age, and the sting of criticism gradually died out] At Shonbrunn Castle, Frau Schratt ap peared nearly every afternoon to keep the Emperor company for an hour or two. In turn, he delighted to call on her at her town houpa as a private ccntleman, where he could meet a few friends of his own choosing', and ! not guests imposed on him by etiquette ! or reasons, of state. Politics was nevor | discussed. Frau Scliratt had her own ] town house and her country house, i together with a goodly allowance, but I it never was objected that the Em peror was lavish with lier and she had the discretion not to make her ostentation a national scandal. As a soldier, the Emperor was be loved of his army. In a crushing re verse by the French at Solferlno he suffered such humiliation that he is said to have wished to die with his men that he stood motionless in the tire of a battery hoping to be struck down. But none of his reverses made him any the less popular at home. In recent years he interupted his winter rides, but each Spring found him on horseback again and he at tended the army inanoeuvers to the last. In the field he was the embodi ment of Indefatigable energy. Three or four horses a day he would v/ear out riding in a gallop to the foremost front of a reserve and from wing to wing to acquaint himself with the last tactical details. His popularity reached beyond the army. lie was truly the idol of his people and especially at Vienna. His tall, gaunt figure was familiar to evory Viennese. He rode through the streets unguarded, bowing to the salutions of his loving people. If it became known that he was to leave the city, a crowd would congregate to see him drive by. He was Imperial yet democratic, and for years he held weekly audiences with the common people at which any one of his sub jects coudl appeal to him the righting of a wrong. French Newspapers Are Merciless in Comment on Death of Emperor Paris, Nov. 22. —Although no official confirmation of the death of Emperor Francis Joseph had been received in Paris early this morning', the press generally accepted the news as au thentic. Special editions announcing the emperor's deuth were bought up rapidly and the passing of the monarch was discussed with the greatest in terest. In their comment the news papers are merciless. The Matin says: "The sinister old man who for sixty eig'ht years wore the double crown dis appears too soon, notwithstanding his eighty-six years, for he has not seen the approaching hour of expiation of the crimes for which he will bear eter nally in history a crushing responsi bility and stigma. Bu + the cpecter of punishment must have naunted his latter days if this man. so monstrously Indifferent, was accessible to any feel ing whatever —this man who witnessed unmoved the worst catastrophes v up by fate on his family and irony of fate! 11 iie nad disappeared from the scene three years sooner the world would have forgotten his calculating cowardice, his ferocious egotism, his hypocrisy, and would have remem bered only the private and public mis fortunes which marked almost all the years of his reign without reflecting that these misfortunes were well de served. He would perhaps have been pitied. Hut justice has not permitted that lie swindle the world out of this supremo homage, it has made for his death a setting of reprobation and horror." II is not believed in Paris that the death of the emperor will affect the war in any way. The general impres sion here is that he had long been more or less of a figurehead, signing without reading documents to which his signature was necessary and taking no part in affairs of state. Death of Francis Joseph Causes Emotion in Vienna; End Came Unexpectedly London, Nov. 22. The death of Emperor Francis Joseph has caused notable emotion in Vienna, says the Exchange Telegraph Company's Am sterdam correspondent. The general public was not aware of the serious nature of his illness, according to these advices, because of the nonalarming character of the bulletins issued. The emperor, the dispatch adds, was feverish yesterday afternoon, be ing unable to eat his evening meal, and retiring at 7 o'clock, assisted to his bedchamber by his daughter, Arch duchess Valerie, lie found himself un able to sleep and asked that his phy sicians be summoned, complaining of pains in the throat. At S o'clock the emperor appeared to be in a more restful state. A few moments later, according to the de tails received, the doctors saw him and he made a gesture pointing to his throat. A second afterward he was dead. The members of the imperial famtly were immediately summoned, as were the officials of state, who prepared an announcement of death. Emperor "William was immediately informed of the passing of his ally, the message being sent over tho tele phone which links the headquarters of the German army with Schoenbrunn Palace. Nothing has yet been decided, it is said, with regard to the emperor's accession. DIED IN HARNESS London, Nov. 22.—Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria practically died in harness, according to an Amsterdam dispatch to the Central News. The dispatch says that the emperor rose at his usual hour on Tuesday and en gaged in governmental business. He received his daughter, the Archduchess Marie Valerie, at 8 o'clock, and two hours later gave an audience to For eign Minister Burian. In the after noon his condition grew worse and in tho early evening his temperature rose and the physicians realized that death was approaching. It is reported in Berlin that, Emperor William will at tend the funeral. PNEUMONIA CAUSED DEATH Paris, Nov. 22.—The death of Em peror Francis Joseph of Austria was caused by a cold which the aged monarch caught while walking in Schoenbrunn Park ten days ago with the king of Bavaria, according to a Zurich dispatch to the Parislen. The cold developed into penumonia of the right lung. When it was realized yes terday that the emperor's condition was serious his daughter. Archduchess Marie Valerie, and his nephews, the Archdukes Charles Francis, heir ap parent, and Joseph Frederick, were summoned to the bedside.
