To Prefer Charges Against Castleman and Coutt_s, Editors The Central Labor union dclegates learned last evening that they had been able to get rid of David Couits and William Castleman, publishers of the Unionist, a labor paper, whom they publicly censured for making charges of graft against the officers of the Central Labor body. At he meeting two weeks ago they passed a resolution asking the unions sending Coutts and Castleman as delegates to withdraw them. Last night a communication was brought before the body, in which the stonecutters refused to withdraw Coutts as a declegate. After a stormy debate, in which charges of railroad- ing and gag rule were passed the or- ganization decided that the only way in which they could rid themselves of the offending members was to offer them a trial before a committee of the organization and the secretary, John Polian, was directed to prefer charges against Coutts and Castle- man, based on the articles which an- peared in the Unionist, charging graft m connection with the Labor day pro. gram.

Pretender to Throne 0f Serbia Waiter On _a_D_ining Car (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press ) were per and des- Vienna, Aug. 5.—One of the illegiti- mate sons of the late King Milan of Serbia, known as the Christich brothers, who have been pretenders to the ¢ an throne, is now a waiter in a dining car running hetween Vienna and Budapest, according to an alleged discovery of a newspa man who formerly knew the Christich brothers When King Milan dicd he entrusted one of these boys, whose mother was the beautiful Artemesia, to his life- long friend, Caunt Eugen Zichy of Budapest. The latter for years treat- cd him as an own son, supplied him plentifully with all material things; and then died without remembering him in his will or without making any provision for him. Thus falling sud- denly from comparative affluence to per poverty, the man Jropped out of sight completely. His present discoverer, who making a trip from Budapest to Vienna, and who knew the Christ ich brothers in the old days when Count Zichy was alive, was surprised to find that the waiter who served him <o noiselessly and competently was no other than one of the Christ- ich boys. The latter with some re- luctance told him that he had tried to make a living in one of the state ministries, but had failed because he possessed no qualification; had tried the stage but had been ruled off by the police because he had billed him- self as a prince; and finally had turned to waiting-on-table, because he knew of nothing else he could do efficiently. I'he foregoing is of interest particu- larly because of 3 story from Rome recently copied in this country to the effect that one of these illegitimate sons of the late Milan had Dbeen proclaimed King of Serbia at Bel- grade, by the Austrian and German authorities.
