no little attention to themselves here in
Paris by the announcement of the ex-
tension of the act of partnership. which
expires September 80 of this year, to
1905. The Paris branch of the famous
family, is quite large. The adowager
Baroness Rotbschild, who lives in the
family mansion in the Rue Latte, had
five children-Baroness Alphonse, who
is at this date at the head of the family;
Baron Solomon, who died q long time
ago; Baron Gustave, Baron Edmond
and the Baroness Nathaniel Rothschild.
The venerable dowager is veritable
fountain of charity. She gives away
hundreds of thousands of francs every
year. In the summer she lives in
splendid country house at B0ulogne,
where apartments for each of her sons
and daughters are kept constantly in
ortler.s Baron and Baroness Alphonse
Rothschild live in the old mansion in
the Rue St. Florentine, where Tally
rand once resided. They are gay and
are extremely fond of society and arc
seen everywhere in the monde; tho
Baroness is one of the most accomp-
lished equestriennes who frequent the
BOis the Bologne. Her husband is an
enthusiastic patron of the turf. He has
stables 1T Meantrif and Chantilly, and
lavishes millions on them. Solomon
ROthschild was q delicate-minded man,
fond of conversation, books, pictures
and society. His widow has daugh-
tor who will, it is said, be the richest
heiress in the Paris family. Baron Gus
tave Is the only one who has married
outside tho family. One of tho sons of
the late Nathaniel Rothschild has Just
purchased the mansion of Count POistol,
in the Avenue de Friedland; and another
named Arthur, spends his life in collect
ing books. 1t is said that no one else
in France except tho duke dAumale,
possesses such inestimable treasures of
rare editions and luxurious binding as
this young Rothschild. One Of the latest
additions to the delegates to Paris of
this phenomenally rich family is Baron
Adolphe Rothschild. of Naples. who has
closed out his business and retired with
the serenity of conscience promoted by
the knowledge of the possession of 3
fortune of 18O. 600, 900 francs He may
be seen now and then in the BOis, lOll-
ing negiigently in the blue carriage.
which is one of the peculiarities of the
house. He is great collector, and
will spend hundreds of thousands of
francs upon any trifle which he happens
to consider he must have. There is but
ono Catholic in the family, and that is
the young Duchess of Grammont, who.
1t will be remembered. was the daughter
of Baron Rothschild OF Frankfort -on-the
Main, one of the richest members of
the group. s..,s5-i,.,i

Washington Monument.

At the last session of Congress an act
was passed appropriating $4,000 to
erect q monument to the memory, of
George Washington at his birthplace in
Virgins. just before Secretary Evarts
retired from the State Department, a
design for the proposed monument was
submitted to the department by Messrs.
Howe & Dodd, the Boston architects.
but no action was taken until recent
ly, when Secretary Blaine authorized
the architect to prepare working draw
ings, and estimates of the cost OF erec-
tion.5 If it is found that the estimates
will admit of the erection of the monu-
ment for the sum appropriated, the de-
sign, as submitted, will probably be ac-
cepted by the State Department, under
whose supervision the work Is to ba
done. Mr.. Howe will leave soon to visit

Hedrick and j. w. Stevens, in which
the latter shot the former in the breast
with derringer pistol. causing almost
instant death. The shooting occurred
on the little Potlatch, about % miles
north of this place. The facts which
led to the killing, as narrated to me,
are about as follows: Stevens had
bargained with Hedrick for a land
claim, paying him bonus to bind the
bargain. II. relinquished the claim,
and S. ,hersupon fled upon it. The
balance of the purchase money was to
be paid to-day, when Stevens called
upon Hedrick, and the matter to be
settled provoked quarrel. They then
started for neighbours house. three
miles distant, on horseback. About
half way they resumed the difficulty,
which terminated in tie fatal shooting

CUSTER COUNTY ITEMS.
BcNANzA, May 9. 1881


There has not been much news Of
any kind since my last. | receive the
WORLD regularly now, and like it very
much.
The weather continues warm and
the snow is rapidly disappearing
from the mountains. Prospectors pre-
dict good weather and are preparing
for the summers campaign among the
great mineral mountains of the Salm-
on river country.
The Custer Company keeps up its
lick, turning out OH an average $50,
600 per week. 1t is expected that the
bullion product will be increased in a
month or two.
The Montana mine is turning out
better than could be expected. A
large body of ore going into the thou
sands has been struck. James Hoop
er, the Superintendent, is now in town
employing few more men, who will
be put to work in the slopes.
All of the prospects being worked on
are developing into frst-class mines.
The Badger mine has enough ore above
their tunnel now, to keep 20-stamp mill
running six months.
That famous mine. the Charles Dickens,
Is hanger. The shaft started at Morton's
house, short time ago, is being put down
as fast as possible, and the ore is increas-
ing in richness with depth, and the vein
widening. Your readers will remember
that stated in a former letter that cross
cut had been run in the lower tunnel,
which is 260 feet below the surface, to the
hanging wall, showing the mine at that
depth to be 40 feet wide, of good ore.
Since then cross-cut has been run through
what was supposed to be the foot-wall. 1t
is now in 30 feet and stringers of very
rich ore are coming in thick, indicating
another large body of high grade ore south
OF the main tunnel The Charles Dickens
can now be classed as the greatest wonder
among the mines of the Pacific Coast, or
even of the world. The ore body will
warrant 5Ostamp mill, which we would
all like to see, as it would give the Yankee
Fork great send-off, and make it famil-
lar with the monied men of The world.
We all look for something to turn up to
bring this district out.

More About Henry Mcdonald.
Democrat

Passing by all wild rumors afoat
during Sunday and Monday, on Tues
day morning we called al the resi-
dence of VIM. James, in whose family
Mrs. Mcdonald, wife of the murderer,
has been stopping since her arrival
from Kelton, two weeks ago. In the
presence of her husband and family
and Mrs. Mcdonald, Mrs. James made
a statement, the substance of which is
as follows:
had been visiting on Saturday
evening, and afterwards went to the
shop to see Will (Mr. James, as usu.
al. Arriving home about nine o'clock
my little girl met me at the gate and
said: INA, Henry Mcdonald is here"
| turned and fastened back to the
shop, and taking Will in the back
room said: "Will, Henry Mcdonald
is at the house" Will said in reply:
"You go back home and tell him to
leave the place, quick, attend to your
own business, and nobody will harm
you" | went home again and found
that Mcdonald was at the back door
talking with his wife. Opening the
door told him to go right away, that
| did not wish to see or talk with him.
Mcdonald then left. Ny husband
came home about ten o'clock, and of
course did not see Mcdonald at all, as
he had gone. The only persons who
saw him were Mrs. Mcdonald, my old
est daughter and myself
Mrs. Mcdonald informs US that hav-
ing occasion to go out into the back
yard she was alarmed by the voice of
her husband, who called her by name
and approached She said: my
God, Mcdonald, why are you here?
Go right away, or you will be caught"
| could not leave without seeing you,"
was McDonald's reply. when did
you get QUIT" Il got out when Jerry
was gone after milk, about seven
O'Clock, and hid in the yard until dark,
and then came on out here" Mrs.
Mcdonald says that during the inter-
view her heart beat SO hard that it
came near displaclng her backbone
through fears that her husband would
be captured. Mcdonald also told his
wife that he would not be missed un-
til eight o'clock the next morning.
Mr.. James informed US that Nc
Donald took pony, saddle and bride
from the stable, which belonged to his
son, Charley James; that he must have
returned after they were all abed and
stolen the horse. He did not know
the horse was gone until Sunday af-
| ternoon.
Mrs Mcdonald says her husband
will not be taken alive; that he will
kill himself first.
