tention of the Austrian law courts,
where Count Des Walderode,
scion of one of the oldest houses Of
the Bohemian aristocraey, is being
called TO severe account for squander-
ing the fortune of his two children,
for having neglected to give them an
education in keeping with their rank
and for having rendered himself
guilty of gross contempt of court,
notably by kidnapping his children
some years ago from the care of the
guardians appointed by law, and aft
er he had been indicial'y deprived Of
his parental rights on account OF his
extravaganza. The count, whose
matrimonial differences with his wife
resulted in sensational divorce. the
court deciding that neither the hus-
band or wife was worthy OF the
guardianship of the children, alb

legal guardian and fed with them to

cording to the evidence just produced
in court, says the Baltimore Ameri-

that his daughter. Countess Marie,
now 81 years of age, was obliged to
take position as nurse girl in a
family in Chicago under the name of
Marie Martens, while the boy. who is
two years younger, was left to pick

placed in possession of her share of
the family fortune, which is large
and sufficient TO keep her in comfort
and afiluence, while steps have been
taken to prepare the boy for the
army. his maintenance being mean
while provided for in keeping with
his rank. Both children in court dis
played considerable bitterness to-
ward their father. especially the girl,

ularly disagreeable recollection of
the time when she was obliged to
earn her living as nurse girl at Chica-

family fortune is $4,000 year.
