American Princess Predicament.

Prince Miguel, husband of the for
mer Anita Stewart. has been declared
insolvent by the Austria courts and
placed under "Curatel." The latter
condition to which he is subjected is a
particularly humiliating one to titled
parsonage, inasmuch as he is given
the status of a minor or a lunatic, is
deprived of his privileges of citizen
ship and is entirely in the hands of
trustees appointed to look after him.
It means that he cannot continue TO
live in Autsria without being sub
jected to degradation
AS his wife, the former Miss Stew
art. now finds herself in much worse
predicament than others of her cOun'

has only herself TO blame, for she was
we'll aware of Prince Miguel's repu'

company in the superior court yester-

ton for the refusal of the corporation

house with water.

not pay their bills. 1t Is for this hu-
initiation that they ask $4,000 DANA ges
