Henry Eugene Philippe Louis D'Orleans,
Duke d'Aumale, the fourth son of Louis
Philippe. King of France from 1880 TO 1S4S
was born at Paris January 16. 1892. He
distinguished himself as a student, espe-
ciallv in the school of history, and won
the honors of his class in the Lyceum
Henry ". He entered the army at the
age of is, and saw his first real service as
lieutenant in Algiers in 1840, where he
served with distinction in the operations
against A bd- el-Kader until lS47. gaining
promotion TO a generaship. In l647 he
was appointed Governor General of AL
gIers, i'll which office he remained until
the revolution in Paris in 1S4S lost the
throne to his father.
1t was at this time that he gave such
proof of his patriotism as TO win the
respect and love OF the people of France
which ne ever afterward retained. Being
urged by his friends tc employ the large
force at his command against the revolu-
tionists and reseat his father he replied:
France has willed that the Orleans dy-
nasty should be dethroned. l shall never
seek TO trample upon the national will.
n of
l bow" He rendered his resignation to
the new Government and retired to the
magnificent ancestral seat Of the Condos
at Chantilly, near Paris, where he devoted
himself 10 his books and his horses win
ming iame in both these rather antagonis-
tic lines. The horses OF his fine stud.
whose stables. hundreds OF years old, are
famous for their size and style OF archl-
lecture, won many prizes at the Chanully
and other racing events.
As a student of history he was one OF the
foremost men of his day. In 1867 he pub
lisned a work entitled constitutions Mill
taires de La France" and in 1869 the His
torres des Princes de Condo" These
works attracted much attention in France
and ether European countries and in 1871
he received recognition OF his merit in
being made a member of the French
Academy, OF which be was president for
some years prior to his death.
Though never anything OF a politician
the Duke was elected q member of the
Assembly in the stirring times of 1871 and
rendered patriots service to his country
in her hour of need. At the breaking out
OF the Franco Prussian war be offered his
services to Emperor Napoleon, but that
monarch saw fit TO decline them. He
was, however, made general of division
under the Republic in 1872.
The Duke was man of fine physical
appearance-above the average height,
erect and broad shoudered. OF late
years his so!dierly though pleasant face
has worn rather a sad cast from success
sive bereavements of his dearly beloved
wife, Princess Caroline, of the Bourbon
S Giles, who died in December, 1869. and
other members OF his family.
The Duke leaves two brothers, Prince
CASTOR d'0rleans and The Prince de Join
vile, and one sister, Princess Clementine,
