Representative Charles B. Lands
declares that about $S, 900, 900 is
being wasted on government print
ing. AS he is chairman OF the
committee on printing Of the house
OF representatives and head of the
joint committee of both branch of
congress appointed to make an Off
cial inquiry into the subject, he
ought to speak by the book.
Now it would be in order for
some one to look into the matter of
state printing and see how much
money is wasted. 1t costs the state
many thousands OF dollars at every
session OF the legislature to publish
the Legislativ. Record, an almost
entirely useless expenditure. This
publication furnishes Jobs for
large number of folders, pastors,
&c., who draw big pay and hire
the work done for much less than
they get. So long as the people of
Pennsylvania keep in power the
present machine bosses, so long
they will have to endure the squan-
derlng of the public money.

MORGANATIC MARRIAGES
 ON INCREASE IN EUROPE

the host of our own King and Queen, while he is beloved by the people in whose midst he lives and moves
 The imperial house of Austria furnishes many examples of such love matches.
 One of the most picturesque romances was that the Archduke John, who Is supposed to have been shipwrecked and drowned in 1890. but of whom report has it that he still lives.
 He was out hunting one day when he surprised a picnic party, of which Milly Stubel was one. This girl was only an opera dancer, but had an unblemished reputation and 80 deeply did the Arch duke fall in love at first sight that he courted her under the name of Johann Orth, viennese engineer. All unsuspect- ing, Milly returned his affection, and only discovered his rank when she saw him re- viewing the trops as an imperial held marshal.
 In vain did he implore the Emperor to sanction his marriage with the girl only quarrel ensued, and he was dismissed from the army. After the death of his friend the Crown Prince Rudolph recon ciliation took place. but he asked permls- sion to renounce all royal rights and as- sume the name of Johann Ortn. Then he married his lady love and sailed away with his bride, only to encounter storm in which 1t is believed by most people, his wife and his crew perished.
 Recent. comparatively, is the decision os the Archduchess Stephanie to aban- don her royal position in favor of her love for Count Lonyay. Her father-in- law the Emperor of Austria, gave his consent but her own father, the King of the Belgians, has never forgiven his daughter, and 1t will be remembered that at the deathbed Of the late Queen Louise os Belgium the two passed each other without recognition.
 Following the mothers example the Archduchess Elizabeth of Austria fell in love with a young nobleman of ancient but not royal lineage. Prince Windisch- Rratz, and, despite the protests of her royal grandfathers. insisted on marrying him and renounclng all claim to the Au- strian empire.
