-ons 81 emperor Fr.ncl. Joseph

throne BY Emperor Francis Joseph
while he - still alive.
The author contends that, the mar
riage Of the archduke and the countess
was not morganatic one. AZ Is gen.
orally believed. even in Austria. This
Ia proved, he says, by the titles Of
duchess" and her highncss" given TO
Sophie and her rank at the Austrian
court and official states at the courts
of other countries.
He contends that the question OF
equal noble birth Us not factor. as
has been proved by many royal prece-
dents.
He declares that the most learned
men in Austria say the Countess So
phie is legally the archduchess and not
one jurist can show anything to the
contrary. OF the high authorities at
other courts whom the author ques-
toned on this point 80 per cent said
that the children Of the archduchess
had legal claim to the throne after
the death Of their father. despite his
oath before their marriage in which ne
waived the right of their succession.
Count Sternberg declares that Arch
duke Franz Ferdinand will keep this
oath so long as he lives. but he can
not renounce the rights Of his chill
dren.

Why Living Costs More.

Consumers. who have been in the
past. as they are in the present easy
marks. are awakening to the fact that
they are being cozened upon package
goods In the agitation for the pure
food laws the importance OF cleanl-
ness in the handling of food products
was emphasized. This was good for
the package man. He could point TO
the fact that his goods were not
handled between the factory and the
consumer in such a way as to be sub
iect to contamination. There was an
immediate boom in the sales of pack
age goods. The package man took
advantage of the movement to make
extra dollars. He did 1t by slowly re-
ducing the size Of the package. IT the
law compelled him to give quality, all
right. He would get even by cutting
down quantity. AS result packages
and their contents have all shrunk
nightly.
J. DIN Howe contributes to the New
York independent 81 detailed state
ment of the manner in which the cost
of living is raised by reducing the
contents Of the package. Crackers, ne
says. which may be bought In bulk Tor
Is cents a pound cost 10 cents pound
in packages. Pound" packages OF
crackers used to contain sixteen ounces.
Now they contain seven ounces In
many cases. There is kind or
canned meat which sold to the grocer
at $19O a dozen three years ago. Now
it costs $3.50 dozen. Three years ago
the cans weighed two pounds each.

SOPHIE MAY WEAR CROWN.
Author Says She is Not Barred From
Place on Throne Of Austria.

Vienna, May 30.-A sensation has
been created by the publication OF a
book by Count Adalbert Sternberg en-
titled I'm the Change of Time" In
which he declares that the Duchess
Sophie Won Hohenberg, formerly the
Countess Chotek, who was at one time
maid of honor to the Archduchess Isa-
bel, is, according to law. entitled to be
considered the empress Of Austria when
the Archduke Franz Ferdinand comes
to the throne, and that her children are
legally heirs to the throne.
The Countess Sophie was Hungar-
ian Of noble but not royal birth, and
when the future emperor married her
he renounced all rights on behalf OF
her children to succeed to the throne.
Recently the countess has been recog-
nized as the legal. not the morganatic.
wife of the archduke. by the Emperor
William of Germany.

definite settlement of the vexatious
question Of the succession to the

Worry About Wilson'S Resignation.

Trenton, N. j., July 16.-Delegates
returning from the meeting of nation
al democratic committeeman in Chi
cago are eagerly awaited here, for it
is hoped that they will bring some
word regarding the intention of Gov
ernor Wilson to resign as chief execu-
tive. This information would have
to be gained through personal repre-
sentatives of Governor Wilson who
attended the Chicago meeting, for
the governor himself refuses to dis
cuss the matter for publication.
Friends of the presidential nominee
say. however, that he is in doubt,
with a disposition to hold on. There
are precedents both ways. The gov
ernorship is a bird in the hand. No
candidate for president is as sure that
he will be elected as his enthusiastic
friends are, and Governor Wilson is
said to have pointed out this fact to
his admirers. This campaign is very
young yet; it is no foregone conclu-
sion that Candidate Wilson will carry
New York, and without electoral vote
he cannot be elected president. The
term of the governor of New Jersey
is three years. DR.. Wilson has not
yet served two. If he resigned the
governorship he would not have to
return to Trenton between speaking
| tours. The question for DR.. w.
| to determine, his managers decla. e.
/ is whether he can reconcile his Pc
riodical absences from Trenton during
the campaign with a realization Of the
duty he owes the people of New Jer-
sey who called him to the governor
ship. 1t is recalled that the late Gro
yer Cleveland did not resign the gov
ernorship of New York when he was
nominated for president in 1854, but
worked away at his desk most Of the
time
