WAITED UPON The
SLAIN ARCHDUKE
Herman Herzendorfer, New
Harper Employe, Knew the
Heir to Austrian Throne.
WORKED IN A VIENNA CAFE
Often Called Upon to Carry Food to
the castle-Francls Ferdinand
Loved by His People.

Herman Herzendorfer, who is EN-
ployed as waiter in the New Harper
cafe, has the honor OF having known
the late Archduke Francis Ferdinand
and his wife. the duchess of Hohen
berg, who were assassinated Sunday
at Sarajevo. Herzendorfer was en-
ployed as waiter at the Sudbahnhof
cafe in Vienna. He was employed at
leading eating houses in Austria, from
1905 to 1910, and it was while work
ing there he saw the archduke almost
daily. He waited at the table OF the
archduke many times, and frequently
when the latter brought his wife and
three children, Herzendorfer also met
them in a business way. as the wait
ers always spoke 10 the frequenters OF
this eating house.
The archduke's castle was only one
block and one-half from the Sudbahn-
hof, and many times Herzendorfer car
ried the officials favorite dishes to
the castle. The heir to the throne
was especially fond of game, such as
roast duck and fish.
Herzendorfer also waited on Arch
duke Charles Francis, who is now heir
to the Austrian throne. numerous
times. Emperor Francis Joseph never
visited this restaurant, but Herzen-
dorfer saw him often in the street.
Was Noted Hunter.
In speaking OF the late archduke's
hf bits, Herzendorfer stated that he al
ways carried himself proudly in pub
lie. as caste is strictly observed in
that country, but when hunting or out
with his fellow officers he was very APP
proachable. The archduke was known
over Europe for his prowess as a hunt !
er. The Hungarians and Austrians |
loved and respected the archduke and |
his family, but he was not well liked |
by the Bohemians, Turks. Albanians |
an Servians in the province where he !
was killed.
Herzendorfer came to this country
n 1910, and has been employed at the
New Harper for about a year and a
half He is an unusually bright
7oung fellow. and is a most efficient
waiter. Herzendorfer was born in
Vienna and lived there up until the
ime he came 10 this country.

PARCEL POST is
MAKING ADVANCE
Believed, However, 1t Should
Get a Still Greater Share

while the parcel post feature OF
the mail service shows a steady growth

master Simpson this morning, the
government is not getting the proper
ton of business that should be right.
ly coming to, it. This may be due
in part to the fact that people regard
parcel post as still in experimental
stages. and are waiting.
In this view of the matter, / fear
that people do not realize the state
OF perfection already reached, and the
Improvement that is being made e.
cry day. Furthermore, / think the
people do not all take into considera-
ton the fact that they owe the gov
eminent a debt of gratitude for what
il has done in bringing down the ex-
press rates. Parcel post has in this
respect proved the leveler in the mat
ter of exorbitant express rates just
as the inland waterways have in
checking the railroads in freight
charges.
THE efforts the express companies
are making now to meet the conven-
fences of the parcel post, the prompt
they give to business, and
the solicitation they show for bust
ness, is significant. One express COM
pany has already retired. and the 9TH
ers are fighting for what is left.
Meanwhile, the parcel post Is daily
its own, and is making such
advances that II is only a question OF
time when 1t will get the bulk of the
business that IT is empowered TO
handle.
There is no complaint to be made
by the Rock Island postoffice. but
