supposed to be on the inside regard

much Of which has already been pur-
chased. He went to Schmauss, who
conducts a saloon, and agreed to find
piece of property for him which
would yield him a profit on the invest
ment. In return for this, Schmauss
was to divide his net profits with
RObb. The 500 agent located two lots

of the supposed purchase by the 500,

purchase which the latter did in Sep

UNION ENGINEERS
OFFER A PROTEST
Urge Objection to School Board En-
ployina NonUnion Engineers.

George S. Chrystler and four other
representatives of the Steam Engi-
neers' union, of this city, accompanied
by Aid. Moriarty. called yesterday
upon George Gerlach, superintendent of
buildings for the board of education,
to protest against the employment of
non1union engineers nthe schools
Mr.. Gerlaeh explained to the delega-
ton that it is one of the rules of the
board of education not to discriminate
in favor of or against union men, and
that his instructions are to merely as
certain the competency of the men he
employs. There are two unions among
stationary steam engineers, one local
union and the National Steam Engi-
neers' association. Only two of the
present engineers of the schools are
members of the local union, but some
of them are members of the national
organization.
The rule of the board as to its en-
gineers has been in force for some
years, and has been scrupulously fol-
lowed. The board has repeatedly been
called upon by representatives of the
unions, but has always refused to in
terfere with it's engineers in favor of

Royal Lives That
Were Tempestuous

The reign Of Alexander T., king of Ser
via. began In coup d'etat at midnight
March 6, 1889, and ended in assassination
at midnight June 10, 1908.
How Milan came to lose his throne and
how his son Alexander came to lose it
Is told In the events Of one Of the most
disgraceful chapters in the history of
modern Europe
King Milan was married Oct. II, 1875,
to the Princess Natalie, daughter of a
Russian, Col. Kecho, who had espoused
the daughter of Prince Stourdnaof, the late
reigning family of Moldavia, before that
province was united to Wallachia, to
form the present kingdom of Roumania
When King Milan met Natalie he was
tWenty-one and she seventeen. Her beauty
had made her famous over the empire.
Milan fell desperately in love with her,
but his suit found no favor in her eyes.
She had, moverover, set her affection upon
a young Russian officer, but her father,
hattered at the prospect of an alliance
with royalty. overruled all of her objec-
tions.
Natalie threw herself with the utmost
enthusiasm into the cause of her new
country when war was declared against
Turkey. She made a personal appeal to
the car for assistance, interested herself
in the hospitals and the widows and or
phans, for all Of which Servia almost
adored her.
The ex-queen Of Servia was considered
the most beautiful of all the scions of the
reigning families Of Europe. She is
above the middle height, with an ele-
gantly nodded form, black eyes and nair,
a brunette complexion, almost faultless
features, and a manner that wins its way
at once to the hearts of all whom her
majesty endeavors to please.
TWO children We're born to their mai
esties-the eldest, born Aug. IA, 1876,
was named Alexander, after the Emperor
Alexander II. Of Russia, who was god
father to the young prince; the younger
born two years later, only survived a
few days.
After the birth of Alexander all the
Unborn depravity in Milan's nature began
to develop itself. He neglected the beau
tful and accomplished woman who had
done so much for him and his people and
plunged into gross debauchery. Natalie
centered all her affection on her child and
on the Servians, who reverenced ner,

AT first nobody believed the story that
foated out of some mysterious quarter
that Alexander intended to adopt his
brother-1n-law as a son and name him as
the future king of Servia because if was
so audacious as to be incredible. but with
in a few days the confirmation was album
dant. The king expressed his intention to
three or four different persons Then the
ministry took up the matter and decided
arter long and serious consultation that
1t would be an act Of duty and patriotisrl
to Immediately check the ambition of
their queen Therefore, the entire cabinet
with M. Vuitsch. the prime minister at
thelr head, called at the palace at an UNI
usual hour and asked for an audience.
Alexander must have suspected the pur-
pose OF their visit. for, after keeping them
waiting for fifteen or twenty minutes. he
appeared in the full uniform OF the COM
mander in chief of the Servian army, with
his wife upon his arm. Advancing a few
steps from the entrance, the royal couple
stood. arm in arm. with a defiant air,
while the eight ministers arose and salut-
ed them. M. Vuitseh asked the queen to
retire, but Alexander refused.
The prime minister then made the pro-
test against the selection of the queens
brother as heir apparent. asking that the
parliament should at least be consulted.
Alexander interrupted and shouted in an
excited manner: Il shall carry out my
will"
1.-THE will of the people must also be
considered" answered the prime minister
firmly.
This terminated the interview, but
few days later Queen Draga was secretly
warned that her plan TO seat her brother
on the throne of Servia would never be
permitted, and that her own life would
pay the penalty II she attempted to put
the plan into execution
Queen Draga persisted and her brother
was installed in the palace, to all lntegstS

death dragged him with her, and the same

Last night there were eight game wardens
lined up at the Hoboken ferry, waiting for

in getting several who had purchased

who obtain the license make a mistake
