Death of the DUO de Nemours.

Paris, June 26.-The Duo de Nemours
died at Versailles yesterday. Louis
Charles Philippe Raphael d'Orleans,
Due de Nemours, one of the Orleans
princes, was the second son Of King
Louis Philippe, and was born in Paris
4ips 121A.s He was elected King of the
Belgians in 1881, but his royal father
declined this offer of the national con-
gress on his behalf, as he did also at
later period a similar offer of the crown
Of Greece. After the revolution Of Feb
ruary, 1848, the Due de Nemours quilted
France and did not return until after the
downfall of the empire in 1870. He has
since played very insignificant part in
rOyalist affairs.

About two weeks ago the surveyors
reported to General Superintendent Law
that the mine was Squeezing and that
unless steps were Immediately taken to
timber it cavern or fall might be
looked for. Supt. Law lost no time,
and at once put number of men at
work to brace the falling roof. The
squeeze continued, however, and Sat
urday the situation became alarming.
In the afternoon a slight fall occurred,
and the men who were at work had to
retreat before it. A consultation Of
mine officials was then held, and it was
decided that heroic measures would have
to be resorted to to prevent heavy dam
age to the mine.
Inside Supt. Langan gave instructions
that the most experienced miners should
be secured. Expert timbermen put in an
appearance at that hour and were soon
lowered into the workings. They made
their way to Red Ash vein, 1900 feet
down the slope. The work of propping
proceeded rapidly until II O'Clock, when
another fall occurred. 1t made a low,
rumbling noise, and the flying debris
drove the men back. Then the squeeze
ceased again and the men thought it was
safe to resume work. They labored on
until 800 o'clock when, SO it is presumed,
the roof fell in without warning, making
q tremendous crash.

In the.village- Of Eyack, on the Cop
per river, in Alaska, up beyond the
trading post of Nutchuck, there lived
a Chilkat Indian girl known to the
white traders as Jennie. This girl
found favor in the eyes of Ole Oleson,

a small steamer that trades on the
Copper river and along the coast, OLE

that he didn't think it necessary to go

Eyack had who had taken native wives.
These men didn't like blossoms way.
ind they manifested their displeasure
They were not particular as to what
sort Of ceremony it was, but they de-
manded some sort Of public declaration
from the big Swede. It is customary
on such occasions for the man to give
a potlach to the grin parents. The
presents are usually numerous, and
there ought 10 be a bonus of from 5000

he wanted to avoid the din, that he
crawled under d big pile Of blankets

pounded and blew until they got tired,
and then they went inside and dragged
Qleson out from under the blankets.
He was ready, he said, to go through
