NOBILITY IN DISTRESS.

Austrian Countess Obliged to Serve ar
Chicago Nnrsemaid.
An Interesting case with an Ameri-
can end to 1t is now engaging the at
tention of the Austrian law courts.
where Count Des rs-Walderode.
scion of one Of the oldest houses of
the Bohemian aristocracy, is being
called to severe account for squander-
ing the fortune of his two children. for
having neglected to give them an edu
cation 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 after he had
beeen judicially deprived of his paren-
tai rights on account of his extrava-
gance. The count, whose matrimonial
differences with his wife resulted in
a sensational divorce, the court decid-
ing that neither the husband or wife
was worthy Of the guardianship of
the children, abducted his bow and
girl from their legal guardian and
fled with them to Switzerland. On the
Intervention of the Swiss courts being
invoked by the Austrian authorities
he came with them to this country
and, according to the evidence lust
produced in court, neglected them to
such degree that his daughter, the
Countess Marie, now p years of age,
was obliged to take a position as
nurse girl in family in Chicago I'M
der the name Of Marie Mertens. while
the boy, who is two years younger.
was left to pick up his own living as
errand boy in store in New York.
also under an assumed name. Finally
the family learned of the condition of
the two children and caused them to
be brought over to Europe, where they
arrived penniless and with nothing but
the clothes on their backs, the young
count, in spite of his 10 years, being
as ignorant as a boy of 13. The girl
has now been placed in possession of
her share of the family fortune; which
is large and sufficient to keep her in
comfort and afiuence, 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 toward
their Gather, especially the girl, who |
seems to have retained particularly
recollection of the time /
when she was obliged to earn her liv-
ing as nurse girl at Chicago. Today
her allowance from the family for
tune Is $4,000 year. Baltimore Am

NEW DEFINITION FOR
BARLOW'S BIG MlNsTREls

Webster's abridged definition Of the
word 'mintrelsy" is Art, or occupa-
ton of a minstrel: system of ballads:
music; a company of musicians" But
the way he would define it now would
be as follows: "Georgeous magnifi-
cence in scenic embellishments; songs
hat are witty. wise and charming;
personal. grace with beauty to charm;
an amusement exhibition containing
all that is novel. great, grand and beau
tiful; matchless in grandeur, with fun
without a blush: provoking long and
loud laughter with humor without q
faint: the cleanest and best OF all
amusements."
The above definition forms a synop-
sis Of the many good things in Barlow's
Ministries In point Of numbers, embell.
ishments n general equipment. and
with a roster second to none. this com
pany deserves the right t o the title,
costliest. richest and best.
A magnificent street parade will be
given at noon. and a free band concert
in front of the theater at 7:3O D.. m.
car be enjoyed by all. The company
will be at the New Grand Manager Sat
