he sent his relatives in Hungary an
nouncing his engagement TO Miss VAN
derbilt and which was said to have con
tanned but two words, "LasZlo-Gladys,'
and to have cost him 80 cents. His
principal residence is the castle of Or
mezo situated amid wild and romantic
scenery. While it may not compare in
elegance with The Breakers at New
port or the splendid Vanderbilt town
house 1T Fifth avenue and Fifty-eighth
street, New York, the scene of the
nuptials. it will be likely to possess spe-
cial fascination for the young bride by
reason of its romantic surroundings
and historic associations.
The count, who is twenty-eight and
rather dashing in appearance, fought a
duel about three years ago with Aurel
Batonyi, who married Mrs. Burke
Roche and has recently been sued by
her for divorce The counts life at
his castle of Ormezo is said to have
been a simple and sedate one, and it
is predicted he will prove loyal and
devoted husband, thus doing some
thing toward counteracting the pre-
yailing prejudice against International
marriages. The castle of Ormezo was
erected in the fifteenth century and
rises from the top of crag in the
mountainous county of Zempler, ten
hours trip from the Hungarian CAPT
tai. The count is a hereditary member
of fhn Hunrapi,n no rf;a ,aa.,t o,,d has
the right to wear as part of his court

his coat. Little things like this often
count with a romantic girl of twenty

TWO COUNTERFEITS OUT.

Washington. April ., hief Wiike Of
the secret service has issued circular
warning business men against two coun-
tcrfeits, one so United States note Of
the "Buffalo' design and the other a 80
gold certificate of the series Of 1906
These bills were taken from two negroes
at Cape Gira rdeau. Mo. The counterfeits
are very badly executed photographs,
hand colorod. and the general character
Of the workmanship is SO poor that It is
believed the negroes may have made the
notes themselves.

has received many coins from business
men in different parts of tho country
who forwarded them to Washington to

Officially settled. Remarkable to say, all
the specimens proved 10 oc real United

dollar OF recent coinage, Is nearly an
eighth Of an inch larger than ordinary
halves, and has a bad ring" Coinage
experts who examined this coin declare
that It has been fattened or widened by
some painstakinE workman, probably n
gold heater. who doubtless spent consid-
cradle time IN making the real look like
a counterfeit. Another coin that attract
ed bankers suspicion was a half dollar
OF 1888. which bore the words "ffty cents
or half n dollar" The omission Of the
word half would make the coin quite
valuable to collectors. had the owner not

Another coin submitted is n silver dol

perfect coin and the owner will receive
