ABANDONS TITLE AND FORTUNE TO WED SHOP GIRL
and of hla decision to give oft the prtn
oees whom he loved and marry the
COUNT HANS FERDINAND VON
HOCHBERG, heir to the duchy
of Rohnatock, playmata snd
companion of the German crown
prlnca, nephew of Prlncea Maria Von
Bexe-Wclmer and coualn of the Grand
Duke Michael von Base-Weimar, has
married a poor shop girl, tha daughter
of common Illiterate parents.
The wedding of tha count and tha
abop girl, Miss Louise Carow, took
place in a boarding-house on Waller ave
nue, Osslntng. New York Tha Rev.
Dr. Mc Williams of tha Oeslnlng Pres
byterian church officiated, and tiere
were no guests but only tha necessary
witnesses.
The wedding, at Oeslning Is tha cli
max of a six-months' fight to avert
the union, and three nattons have
waited anxiously to see' what tha and
of the conflict would be. A princess of
noble birth has been Jilted, a fathers
hopes shattered, and a mother's heart
broken by ehe marriage. Count Ferdi
nand will support his bride by bis own
efforts, as ha was disinherited by hla
father.
In aome respects it la a parallel of
Tolstoi's "Resurrection;" in others it la
beyond parallel even In fiction. It la
atory that has caused the resignation
of the auperintendent of the Royal
Opera In Berlin, that baa agitated tha
German court, that has estranged a
dosVn ancient families, and baa sep
arated a father and bob.
Duty alone destined Count Ferdinand
von Hochberg to marry a woman so
far beneath hla station In Ufa. Louise
Carow waa her name, tha daughter of
a workman, while he waa one in dally
attendance at the Imperial palace as an
officer of the First Regiment of Oer
man Foot, tha Kaiser's personal body
guard. Wat His Duty.
The line of duty that he choose was
beset with many obstructions. First
of all there came the disgrace, for, at
tha time of his decision, ha waa to
have married a princess of one of tha
reigning families. -Then there was hla
father's threat of disinheritance, later
carried out. Lastly there waa dismissal
from the army.
But he was determined In his de
cision. In spite of tha supreme sacrifice
that had to be made. And when thay
sent him to America, hoping that he
would forget, he gave up tha remittance
that came monthly and engaged himself
aa a chauffeur In Tarrytown. Then he
cabled to Louise Carow, , the shopgirl,
and begged her to come out hero to be
his wife. , '
He had .married her morganatlcally
In germ any. but that marriage, at tha
requeat of hla father and hla mother,
waa aat aaida by tha Kaiser. 80 he
married her again yesterday in the
PICTURES OF QUEER DANCING BIRDS
a? st
FRANK M. CHAPMAN, 'the bird
man at the American museum of
natural hiatory, discovered some
new fact and made some new
photographa on hla annual journey Into
hlrdland. He aaw that queer, uncanny
dance of the prairie chlckene of which
ao little la known, though ao many
stories of It are in circulation, and he
photogrephed. at close range tha quaint
little creatures as they danced, aaya
the New Tork Sun.
Among ths sandhills of northwestern
Nebraska Mr. Chapman aet up the old
nttnri which lie used so successfully- In
I the flamingo city right beside tbe pral-
I rle chlckene' ballroom. Trds la alwaya
I a wide, open apace far from any cover,
I because otherwise Br'er Coyote might
I eneak up. The dance begins Just before
dawn and laata till about wo hours
after daylight; and each day for a week
tbe bird man apent theae houra In hla
blind with hla camera.
Prairie chicken society holda dances
only In .nesting time, end Mr. Chapman
aaw only males dancing. Evidently they
were Just showing how good they felt In
courting time, and as they danced they
boomed and fought.
The dance la a queer, amusing little
strutting movement, quite different
from the bird's ordinary walk. Aa they
strut they inflate sacs of skin on
either side of the head till they make
great orange color belle, full of air like
toy be loon a
They expel thle air with force and en
ergy, making tbe mysterious booming,
which Is heard sometimes three miles
away. Then two of the little chapa will
fall to fighting and tbsy fight exactly
like little gamecocks.
2Lr. Chapman now haa the only photo
graphs In existence of this very dis
orderly pralria oMeken dance. In the

On the right is Count Ferdinand Bollto von Hochberg, acion of one of the
nobleat house in Germany, who gave up, riches, fame and love for
duty's sake and who jilted a princess to marry Louise Carow, a poor
shopgirl, whose photo is. shown on the left. 1 The count now has a po
sition in an American automobile
presence of a little daughter that had
bean born to them a week ago.
After the ceremony waa over they
christened tha baby. Her mother "chose

Crown Prince William bestowed a
much coveted honor on hla friend and

uaher at tha wedding and hla choice
waa sanctioned by the kaiser, who had

a handicap in sprinting. It feeds on
lisards.
There are various species of thrash
ers, all nesting among the cactua; tha
Inca doVe, the white winged dove, the
cactua wren, the night hawk, tha verdln,
a species of titmouse, and many othera.
specimens of all these were brought
back, and what waa 'harder In this esse,
specimens of the vegetation barrel cac
tus, prickly pear, candle buah. creosote
bush and others.
Next the bird man Jumped to the
Medicine Bow country In Wyoming to
get material for a aagehen and a golden
eagle group. He found, the eaglea at
Batea Hole and In the Bad Landa re
gion. The next change waa Into the condor
country of southern California. The
California condor, resembles Its more fa
mous South Amerlcsn cousin, having a
wing expanalon of IH feet from tip te
ftp It la the largest and almost the
rsrest of North American birds, living
only In the Coeet range east of Santa
Barbara, and ia almost extinct.
It baa been killed orr in s curious
way. The ground aqulrrele down there
are a nuisance to the ranchmen, who
have killed them off by tbouaanda with
potaoned grain. The condor haa dined
too often and too well on poisoned squir
rels. Mr. Chapman round plenty of them,
but they were Hi a remote and fright
fully broken country, fall of eanyone and
precipices, and inhabited only by an oc
casional prospector or bee farmer. The
only condors be aaw were about a mile
high In the air: but he get the proper

alwaya tajran a great Interest In the
young count. At the wedding reception
the count we 1 member of tbe court
and waa in close proximity to the royal
personages. .
Not long ago the crown prince pre
sented him with an autographed photo
graph of himself and wire a gift that
la treasured the more now since It la
the aole remaining link that blnda him
to the fatherland.
. Why did Count Ferdinand von Hoch
berg give up home, position and the
woman he loved end waa engaged to
marry, for an ignorant little factory
girl that had not even beauty? The
reason was the conscience and high
Ideals of honor of the young count.
The meeting with Louise Carow, now
muntess of Hochberg, took place a
couple of years age at the glove shop
where the young women waa employed.
An acquaintance followed and they met
frequently, but when the count waa
sent to another army post she dropped
out of hla life and mind entirely for
the time. Not ao with Louise Carow,
however; ahe could not forget the
dashing young count who had paid her
attention,
Time passed and a marriage between
the count end a princess of high rank
waa arranged. Shortly after the court
betrothal took place tbe count heard
that Louise Carow waa In delicate
heslth. He told his father of thla fact
bodies of several In the water, and he
found snd talked with the murderer.
Thle was a curious old fellow, half
amphibious, who has apent hie tlfe on
the edge of civilisation, hunting, trap
ping and fishing. Tat this old frontiers
man with patrlarchlal white beard knew
the lateet New Tork price Hate for
feathers aa well as any men In New
Tork. New Tork dealers keep him con
stantly Informed. He discussed the
passing of the grebes with sntlre frank
ness Laat year, he aald, they wen
worth only IS cents apiece and "weren't
worth killing." he said.
This year the prioe had Jumped to 10
cents, snd they were worth killing.
"It Is curious," aald Mr. Chapman,
"to find New Tork bualneas stretching
Ita tentaclee to remote lakes and wild
fastneaaee thousands ef miles away."
However, in thle oaae the feather
trade does not make much difference,
and Lower Klamath and Tule lakee are
to be drained by the government and
the blrda will give way to human In
habitants The- work Is already well
advanced.
OLD CASTLE LEGENDS
Alfonso's Visit to Pyvie Recalls Some
Strange Stories.
The visit of King Alfonso to Fyvie
castle. Lord Lelth'e Aberdeenshire seat,
resells some weird traditions la con
nection with that ancient place. Tbe
castle itself Is regarded ae one of the
finest examples of the Scots baronial
atyle; It haa not been altered In recent
times, and stands Just aa If did hun
dreds of yeera ago. Away hack In the
dim past a visit wes paid to Fyvie
caatle by Thomas the Rhymer, a Scotch
poet and prophet, who was generally
received with the utmost hospitality
wherever he went, for he had a reputa
t Ion of casting , spells over those , who
displeased him. On thle occasion, how
ever. Thomas the Rhymer had dreased
himself ae a beggar, and as auch he
waa . repulsed from the doors of the
caatle. In his wrath ha declared that
no laird of Fyvie would ever have a son
lo succeed him- a prophecy that waa
ridiculed at the moment, for the family
was powerful In numbers as In wsalth
But time was lo shew thai the prophecy
waa correal fee fire that ear la tans
shopgirl. The father tried to fruetrate
hla eon's design in every possible way,
but fee young count waa firm and the
wedding with the prlnoeaa, which waa
to take place In May. waa canceled and
the count departed for America, It be
ing the hope of hla father that travel
would lead him to forget what he called
hla son's quixotic eenae of duty.
In New York.
But ae young man. although he cared
not a whit for the girl, could not bring
himself to abandon her or even consent
to pensioning her. He had come -here
with letters to many prominent persona,
and among several he waa put up at the
Metropolian club. He stsysd In New
Tork at the Empire hotel, et Slxty-elxth
etreet and Broadway.
At laat he threw away the peeudo
nym, "Mr. Oraf," which he had taken
In thla country, an rightfully called
himself Ferdinand von Hochberg. And
he sought employment. Through tha
influence of hie attorney. Oeorge C.
Harrison, of No. 21S Broadway, New
Tork, he obtained a position ae chauf
feur with the Maxwell-Brlacoe com
pany, automobile manufaotursrs, of
Tarrytown.
To the astonishment ef the few who
knew his real identity, he eucoeeded la
the work that he did not know, and, at
last, confident that he could make a
living here In America, he cabled Louise
Carow. the shopgirl, and told her to
come to him.
She escaped the country with diffi
culty, end when the police in Berlin dis
covered she had gone they oebled the
German consul here to prevent her
landing at Ellis Island on the ground
that ahe was an Immoral woman. But
the warning came too .late. The count
and shopgirl had met.
They went to-live In Osslntng. en Wal
ler street but delayed the wedding,
pending the decision of the military
court of honor whloh la to try the young
count aa an officer of the guards. The
court of honor Is to alt. next month and
because an officer of his personal tgjdy
guard Is to be tried, the kaiser himself
will prsatde. The Interests of the count
are being looked after by Mr. Harrison,
who will go to Germany to make trie
defense. Old Count Bolka did every
thing In hie power to prevent hie aon'a
marriage and feela keenly the disgrace
to the family name.
Appealing Letters.
When Count Ferdinand obtained the
position of chauffeur with the Maxwell
Brlacoe Automobile company be took'
up hie residence In Tarrytown In order
to he near hla work. While here came the
cables and letters from the fatherland
begging him to give up Mlaa Carow.
On long letter from Juatlarath Mich
ael is said;
"Berlin. July 11. 106 To Count
Hans Ferdinand von Hochberg, New
Tork City. U. S. A. : Very Honored Mr.

succeeded by his son.
The old caatle haa changed handa many
times, and not very long ago It waa
purchaaed by Lord Lelth, or Alexander
Forbes aa he was then. He had a son
In ths prime of health, and tha ancient
curae was once more laughed at: but
In the South African war that son did,
so thst once again Pvyte waa left with
out a direct heir. Lord Lelth haa a
daughter, who Is married to Captain
Burne, and It la hoped that their little
son will In time be laird of Fyvie, and
thue cause the family curse to become
ancient history. Another Interesting
legend centers about Fyvie caatle. Many
yeara ago there waa employed at tbe
rastls a trumpeter named Andrew Lam
mle, whose duty It was to keep watch
on the battlement and sound his trumpet
at certain hours of the day. Not very
far away there stands the ancient mill
ef Tlftle. now in ruins, but at that time
doing s prosperous trade. The miliar
had a daughter named Annie, who used
to Ml by the stream and listen for the
trumpeter's note." In time they became
lovers, but the match waa not approved
by the girl's fsther and brothers, who
did their 'best to Induce her to give up
her soldier friend. .
Thle she would not do. and rather
than allow her to marry' tbe servant of
the Laird of Fyvie her brothers killed
her. Andrew Lammle was at that mo
ment summoned to the wsrs abroad,
and had no opportunity or learning the
fate of hie sweetheart till he returned
some five years later to Scotland Then
he waa In a concert-room In Edinburgh,
and one of the Items on the program
chanced to be the ballad "Mill o' Tlftle's
Annie." which had become popular The
soldier listened spellbound te ths ballad,
for there was no mistaking to whom It
referred. Then came the last verse,
telling how the girl met her death. On
bearing this the soldier fell In k faint
and was picked up stone dead.

I don't think It la necessary tor
me to give In detail, I don't
think you ever thought of euch a

to consider that such relatione are
shameful everywhere before the social
world and that there can be disagree

of the United States.
I have only to add that on account of
secret telegraphic negotiations about L.

deemed it necessary not to pay In ad

In the future to pay her on the first

that such conclusion will be at least In

Remains Unconvinced.
Still Count Ferdinand waa unconvinced.
Other letters in ths case, received by
a prominent attorney, the New Tork
representative of Juatlarath MJrhaells,
are also at hand. They follow:
"Berlin. July U, 1906. My Respected
Colleague I thank you very much for

CITY DEFIES STATE
St. Joseph's Charter, Under Which
Saloons May Keep Open.
Governor Folk baa encountered a new
and perplexing prrbtem In St. Joaeph.
Missouri, In hie efforts to keep the lid
fsstsned down on Sunday.
For more than a year there waa no
trouble. The saloon-keepers generally
obeyed the law, and those who didn't
snd were found tut had buslneae In ths
police court.
It so happened that a prying and In
dustrious lawysr discovered a clause
In the city charter which provides thet
cltlee of the second claaa In Missouri
have the "exclualve" right to I Ire use,
regulate and auppreas saloons.
A number of yeare ago the legislature
of Missouri framed an assort men ot
charters. Theee are charter for cities
of the-' first, second, third end fourth
claaees. When the city of St. Joseph
found ressons for a new organic law In
llli It adopted the ready-made eharter
for cities of the second class
This IS the only etatutory charter In
the set that gives "exclusive" power
over ea loons, snd St. Joaeph Is the only
city of the second class In the etate.
The lawyer who discovered the pro
vision told It around and In time It got
to the ettorney fot the Saloon-keepers'
aesoclatlnn. The result waa an ordi
nance repealing that section of the ex
isting ordinance which conformed to
the stats law and provided that sa
loons should be closed an Sunday.
In Its stead there waa enacted a sec
tlon providing that saloons eh
open on Sunday between the houra of
