DUKE ROCHEFOUCAULD. MISS mITCHELJ'
Francois Ernest CASTOR, Due de 10
Rochefoucauld, Prince de Marcillac, is an
ex-cavalry officer, and was born April 81,
1853. He succeeded to the title in Decem-
ber, 1879. His family motto is "C'est mon
plaisir."
The elder branch OF the La Rochefou-
cauld family descends from one Foucauld,
a cadet OF the Sires dc Lusignan, who re-
ceived the land de la Roche, in the An
goumois, as an appanage.
Miss Maggie Mitchell, the daughter OF
Senator Mitchell, OF Oregon, is twenty
six years of age, and was one OF the beau
ties and popular young women in Wash
ington society Her gracefully erect fig
ure was always gowned in the latest Pa
sian fashion, and her beautiful face had
winning expression which attracted every
one.
One of her marked attractions is her
beautiful complexion, which is absolutely
pale, yet bctokens health. The radiant
face, with its large brown eyes, is sur
rounded by mass OF wavy hair in which
is tinge OF auburn.
The new duchess il an excellent lin
guist, having acquired proficiency in Eu-
rope, where she has spent two or three
years. No entertainment was complete
without the handsome Oregonian, and
yet no one had more spare time for doing
kindnesses in an unostentatious way than
had this beautiful girl.
She and the duke met six years ago in
Paris and Immediately fell in love with
each other. The dukes mother wanted
him 10 marry his cousin, who has great
wealth and is titled besides, but he re-
fused and insisted on his preference for
the American beauty. Senator Mitchell
also refused his consent. Miss Mitchell
returned to this country and was a Wash
ington belle for some time, but her mother
was in i'll health and physicians ordered
her 20 the interior of France. This soon
brought the lovers together again. They
consulted, and Miss Mitchell wrote her
father that she thought that herself and
the duke were old enough TO decide for
themselves, but that she would not marry
without his consent nor would the duke
without his mothers.
"But" wrote the royal little lady,

This Franco American alliance has Gre
ated unusual interest on account of a
most romantic attachment, and more es-
pecially that a third foreigner has mar
ried an American beauty without a
dowry. Miss Mitchell's social position
and attractions are already well known in
Washington.
The Due de la Rochefoucauld, contrary
to the usual French custom, which calls
for evening dress on such occasions, wore
a frock coat, gray trousers, pale yellow
gloves and gray scarf adorned by pearl
OF unusual size.
His beautiful bride wore lovely graz
costume, with mantle OF the same color
Her dress was OF soft Sicilienne with small
brocaded, figured sleeves, bouffante and
ceinture trimmings OF white satin ribbon.

Mrs. Mitchell wore dress OF rich
brown brocade, trimmed at the waist with
old lace, a cloak covered with sables anr
bonnet to match. At the civil marriage
the deputy mayor, who performed the
ceremony, made the following happy lit
tie speech. He said
"Permit me TO express for the Mayor OF the
arrondissement his profound regrets that alb
sence from town prevents him from officiating
at this marriage. / congratulate myself on
having been asked to replace him, and in be-
ing able to present the compliments OF this
municipality on the occasion OF this union oil

the oldest historical families in France with
the daughter OF a distinguished Senator OF the
United States OF America.
"Thjs alliance gives us another charming
French woman. We wish her a most sincere
and hearty welcome, for she represents new
tie between America and France. We are also
glad to see here such eminent persons assist
ing at this ceremony especially the illustrious
Minister of the great American Republic. We
beg him to accept our best wishes for the gov
ernment he represents and our respectful
homage for himself, whom we shall always
hold in the highest esteem"

Two years ago when county Of
fees were consolidated and sala-
ries reduced the matter was little
over done as far as the Sheriff's of
flee was concerned. For the past
two years the salary has been $75
per month and fees, and the Sheriff
has been allowed $50 a month for a
deputy and janitor. The law now
provides that for the next two years
the Sheriff shall only receive $50
month and fees, and no allow
ance for a deputy. AS the fees of
the Sheriff do not amount to over
$15 a month it will be seen that
the salary is below living figure.
The next legislature should amend
the law so as to give the Sheriff a
fair compensation.

The day was bitterly cold, and the

within a mile and a half of the mill
in Palmyra when Hunt gave out.
Meagher saw light in the cabin

the mill and called for help and
Symonds came and carried him to

Hunt was behind with the horse
and Laughlin started out to find
him. He found him down the road
about mile and half. Hunt was
then alive but was out of his head
and so weak that Laughlin could
not get him on the horse. Laughlin
then returned to the cabin for Sy-
monds and they both went down
and brought Hunt to the house. He
was then dead.
