has been sentenced ut Laibach to -four
months Imprisonment for having
forged certificate of marriage of
Archduke Ernst, who died in 1898. and
Laura Won SkublitZ, who was after
wards the Baroness Wallburg. The
evidence adduced failed to prove that
the archduke legally married Laura
Skublitz. but it appears to he probable
that he did so.
The present Baron WalIburg. who is
now Il waiter in the Cafe New York mt
Budapest, is the archduke's child.
Staudinger's connection with the Wall
burgs WAS the result of his seeing the
baron's child begging bread. Upon in

of the arckduke's son was starving
and desire to assist it appears to
have led to the. forgery

SHAW FOR RECIPROCITY
Tie Tells Chicago People He Is Opposed to
Tariff Revision.

Chicago. Sept 22.-As an opponent
of tariff revision and as an advocate
of reciprocityS Secretary Shaw spoke
to a great crowd in Mason park Sat
urday night The secretary was the
magnet which drew thousands to the
Republican rally, and, though he dis
appointed many in that he did not in
any manner refer to the Henderson
incident, he evoked applause in his
treatment of the issues which were
so closely knit into the resignation Of
the speaker of the house.
a point which seemed to find favor
with the crowd was that offered by
Secretary Shaw when he quoted from
the last speech of President Mckinley
and defied any one to find in the en-
tire speech anything that would indi-
cate that Mckinley had the faintest
leaning toward tariff revision. Other
speakers at the meeting were Repre-
sentative FoSS. Boutell and Mann. His
argument was largely for reciprocity
on the Din9ley bill basis.

devoted to the trusts, his remedy for
which is briefly to curb them. He said
the trusts must be curbed. that sane
measures in correcting the evils ac-
companying them are essential. Dem
agOgic schemes, he declared. cannot
be considered, because they aim ut cur
ing the evil by destroying the COM
mercial prosperity of the country. He
advocated the absolute government
control of all combines. Under the
constitution as it stands. he said, lit
tie can he done. Therefore he urged
the necessity of an amendment. in the
hope of effectinG a remedy. In the
meantime, he said. much can be done,
and publicity is the greatest weapon
now possible.
