MARQUIS DIES IN A COTTAGE
REDUCED TO POVERTY BY PEACE TREATY. BUDAPEST, Juno 27. The Marquis Slegmund Csaki-Palla-vicini, once one of the richest members of the Hungarian aristocracy, has died in dire poverty in a humble cottage at Tavarnok, a little township now in Slovakia, aged 90. Once a dashing cavalry officer, owner of thousands of acres m Hungary and of splendid palaces in Florence and Venice he was well known as a sportsman in all the European capitals, and spent much of his life in Italy, France, and England. He was a friend of King Edward VII. and of the King of Serbia. The consequences of the Jreaty or Trianon (which dismembered Hungary) deprived him of his former wealth but he was never heard to complain, of pe privations he endured in his latter years. His sprightly and upright bearing did nofc betray his age or nis a widow, formerly Countess Maria Orsini, who share with him the sorrows of his declining years.
