PLAN REPORTED
Intended to Adopt Traditions of
University With New
Conditions.
(Special to The Tlmes-Dlapatch.J
Charlottosvlllo. Va., February 2.?At
the second sludeut hour of the winter
term at the University oC Virginia, a
piun of self-government, drawn up
, with tho Intentions ot adapting tho
I traditions und form of government of
the past with tho now and more cos?
mopolitan condltloriB was read and
I referred to a committee for further
consideration.
The plan, which Is principally the
work or Churchill Humphrey, involves
the creation of three, new student of?
fices. Which are a president of the
Student body, a vice-president and sec?
retary. An executive cummltteo Is
composed of the presidents of the tlve
departments ot the university, the
same as the present honor committee,
I and tills committee, with this presi?
dent of the student body, acts upon
all matters relative to sulf-govern
| merit, and Is designed to do away
I with Interventions of the faculty In
affairs that may arise. Tho honor
system Is'not affected, other than that
this president Is Included upon the
committee and lb to act as a prosecut?
ing agent against any accused.
The plan does not. according to its
originator, work against truditlon, nor
does It involve the appointing of po
I llcemen or spies. It will be a mat
i ter of some time before the committee,
in whose hands the matter has been
placed, con report back this plan,
cither modified or rejected for another,
as one for tho consideration of stu?
dents.

Happy Experience of Ridgeley
Lady, Who Describes Her
Own Narrow Escape
From Death.
Ridgelcy, Tenn.?Mrs. Jennie Estes,
j of this place, writes: "I want to say
1 something good for Cardui. I can't begin
! to say enough. I wa6 sick abed with wo
! manly troubles from February until Octo
j ber, and was in very bad condition. The
! doctor came to 6ee me three or four times
j a week, but he did me no good. One day
: I thought I would give Cardui a trial. I
I had no confidence in it at all, but I bought
1 a bottle. In a few days I was up and
I doing my housework. Now I have gained
j 15 pounds, and am feeling as well as I
ever felt in my life. If it had not been
; for Cardui I honestly believe would
j have been in my grave. I advise all sick
and suffering women to take Cardui. It
cured me when all other medicines failed."
In the past fifty years thousands of
I ladies have written, like Mrs. Estes, to
j tell of the benefit received from Cardui.
i Such testimony from those who have
j tried and know Cardui surely indicates
the value of this reliablt woman's remedy.
For quick relief from all forms of wo?
manly trouble Cardui is the medicine you
need. Try it.

THAT Emperor Krauels Joseph's
hoalth In. in a more precarious
condition that olllctal or semi?
official reports aro v/liiing to
admit, Is striking shown hv the fact
that all tho customary festivities or ?
!D? c?urt of Vienna, in connection with
the reaching," or carnival, huvc been
aoanaoned, and that authoritative noti?
fication has been made that this spring,
there will be neither "Hofball " nor
yet "Ball-bel-Hof": thut Is to sav no
court balls of any kind: neither the
customary "Court Hall." nor yet the
more exclusive "Ball at Court" Of
course, there may be other reasons
l0l refraining- from giving these balls,
which afford the only opportunity of
official presentation at court to Aus?
trian debutuntes and young married!
women possessed of the requisite gene-1
alogical qualifications, to newly arrived!
secretaries and attaches of the varl-l
ous diplomatic missions, and their'
wives, and to a few distinguished for-1
elgners.
Among the causes mentioned are i
the eternal traeassorles and conten?
tions with regard to the status and
precedence of the Duchess of Ho
henberg, morganatic wlfo of Archduke
1-rancls Ferdinand, next heir to the I
throne. But the principal reason fsl
undoubtedly the aged Emperor's frail
health, which Is In such a condition
that while there is no ground for im?
mediate uneasiness. It has been In?
timated that In deference to the en?
treaties of his medical advisers, he will
remain at th? suburban Palace of
Schoo'brunn until lato In the spring,
and not attempt to resume his daily
drlvuF to the Hofburg, in the centre
of the city. In fact. It Is officially an?
nounced that tho only occasion on i
which he will visit tho Hufburg be?
tween now and Easter I? ot. the oc-!
cnslon or the impending marriage of1
his grandson, Prince George of Bavaria,!
to Archduchess Isabella,, daughter of
I Archduke Frederick of Austria,
j Tho young archduchess, by the by,
lost tho whole of her trousseau, in trie
partial destruction by lire of her fa?
ther's pulacc tho other day, her wed- |
ding drcas fortunately escaping, through
the ffcllurc of her couturier to deliver
it at the appointed time. The palace in
: question was built by Archduke Charles,
who, after beli.g the playmate at Flor
I ence of Napoleon 1. In their respective
! Childhoods, was destined to be defeated
! by him at the battle of Aspcrn, where
' the archduke commanded in person!
the Austrian army. The palace adjoins
the Hofburg, was inherited by Arch-1
I duke Frederick from hit uncle, the|
I late Duke Albert, and was ciowded
I from cellar to garret with treasures '
I of every kind, including the finest col-j
? lection in the world of engravings and I
drawings, numbering over 200,400, and
preserved In 900 huge portfolios. I
Amor.g the drawings, the most cele?
brated la Raphael's own sketch ot tho
"Tra-isflgurallon"; and there Is also aj
portrslt of Kmperor Maximilian, taken :
from the life, by Albert Durer. with an
autograph memorandum of the artist in
the corner to that effect; nearly a hun?
dred studies of llgures for "The l>ast
Judgment," by Mlchaelangelo, and
j twenty drawings by Del Hatto. Ii Is
. fortunate that this unique collection
wus spared by the (lames.
I have seen It mentioned that this
1 so-called Albertlne Palace was tho
! scene of another notable lire?notab.e
I through tho fact that It cost the life
j of a member of the Imperial family,
i namely, the burning of Archduchess
j Mathilde in lSt>6. This is not exactly
! correct, for the archduchess received
j the Injuries which caused her death.
I not at her father's paluco in town, but
at Schocnbrunn, where she was con?
versing with Princess Frcderlca of
! Hanover, when some one entered the I
room, and Bhe ebdeavored to conceal I
the elguretto from which sho had been
tnklng a tew puffs. It set nre to the
filmy flounces of her dress, and In
scarcely a moment's time she was
wrapped from iieud to fool rn Hamas.
When her father, old Duke Albert,
died, without leaving any male issue,
he b;queathod the palace to his nephew,
Archduke Frederick, who Is, in point
of stature, the shortest scion of the
house of Hapsburg, and the eldest
brother of the Queen Mother of Spain.
