is to marry Miss Anna Gould,
Madame The Marquise De Castel-
ano and their son arrived on the
La Champagne from Havre today.
AS the big ship moved up the bay,
the party stood at the rail and
viewed the harbor and its sur
roundings. The Narquise was al
ready admiring the view when re-
porter boarded the ship at Quaran-
tine.
"What wonderful sight this u.s."
said the Marquise, speaking
French. The Marquise and the
younger count speak English, but
the Marquise, though understand
ing it, does not venture to speak 1T.
"a fine harbor," said the younger
man.
AS the uninteresting docks drifted
by with tantalizing slowness to
those whose friends were awaiting
them, the Marquise wondered at
the lofty buildings rising in ter
races along the river. The three
members of the titled family made
little party in corner Of the din
ing saloon, where they took their
meals in company with M. Gl9n-
Ter and his wife, sister Of the Mar
quise De Choiseuil, who is on
visit to her relatives in this city.
The Castellanos divided the atten-
ton of the passengers with Mile.
Rejane, the actress, and NJ. Du-
quesne, who has the distinction Of
calling himself the best living fac
simile Of Napoleon Bonaparte. A
little coincidence marked the APP
pearance Of the last book written
by Duquesne, who is the author OF
several works, entitled ale Nouveau
Temps" (The New Temps, which
came out the day the author left
for America. He had some copies
with him and, with the authors
pride over a new work, passed
them around among those on
board. AS the French flag at the
pier head came into sight the three
looked eagerly at the distant faces.
1--WE are all proud of our son." said
the Marquise, referring to the COM
ing marriage. "Proud and happy,
very happy" he added with en-
phasis. The Marquise said moth
ing but strained her eyes toward
the groups that added bits of color
to the wharf.
cit is not he" said the Marquise,
addressing his wife, "Yes, yes" she
replied, never lifting her eyes from
the dock.
1.-THE intimation that every
body was wishing the young
couple a happy future, the Mar
quis said: "IU ought to be so. 1 be-
lieve that the union of French add
American blood ought to give
good results"
"There is one mistake about es-
tates," said the Marquis, "they are
placed at Longeles instead OF at
st. Patrice. Also, see that the
name Of my son who is to marry,
Is often called Count Jean. His
name is Count Boniface De Cas-
tellano."
The steamer was half way to
her ship when young mans
slight form pushed its way through
the crowd along the gang plank
entrance. "Ah he is there" cried
the Marquis, as he waved one
hand frantically, ait is he."
When the gang plank was let
down and the impatient patents
reached the young man he greeted
them tenderly, shook his brothers
hands and then introduced them
to Raoul Duval, who is to be of the
wedding party and who had driven
with the count in the Gould car
riage. The formalities of eXamin-
ing the baggage annoyed the young
Count Boniface. Finally he made
up his mind he had waited long
enough, so taking his brother and
mother under his protection he
started through the line of GUS
toms officers, which he got safely
past. Unluckily he had a small
satchel in his hand. An inspector
spied it and called to him.
at is nothing" said the count.
"Well, let us see," said the officer,
and the three were called back.
The count was at first angry, but
cooled down. They entered the car
riage and were driven to the resi-
dence Of George Gould. A valet
was left in charge Of the baggage,
which followed three hours later.
1t was stated by a customs official
that $1,000 duties was paid on their
effects which we're packed in fifteen
trunks.
