she lived there for some years in
peace. But all her efforts to obtai
honorable burial for her martyred IA
ther were futile. After the mob had
dragged his body through the streets
the government issued an edict that
the dead man was to be hanged in the
place of execution. 1t was 1899 be-
fore it was possible to bury the ad-
rniral in his home in Chatillon.
Wife of william of Orange.
In 1888 Louise married again. Her
second husband was the great William
of Orange. Once more she went
through years of war and terror for
her faith. Bravely she remained by
the side of her brave husband. And
again it was her lot to see her be-
loved killed before her eyes, when the
Infamous BalthaZar Gerard asSassi-
mated him to win the reward offered
by the Spaniards.
William and Louise had a son,
Frederick Henry. His daughter, Louise
Henrietta of Orange Nassau, became
the wife of Frederick William, Elector
of Brandenburg, surnamed the Great
Elector.
1t was his father, the Elector George
William, who initiated the policy of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT territory which has
raised the house of Hohenzollern to it's
present commanding and unique posi-
ton.
The Great Elector obtained the
Duchy of Prussia from the King of
Poland and finally he annexed Magde-
burg, Minden, and great part of Pom
merania.
While the Kaiser is justified in be-
ing as proud as he is of having the
Admiral de Coligny for an ancestor
he may be equally proud of having
Louise de Coligny for ancestress.
There have been many famous states
men who were not as wise and able
as she was.
1t was she who brought about the
final declaration of peace and friend
ship between the Duke of Bouillon
and Henry ", a work which gave
Europe much needed peace at a criti-
cal time.
1t was Louise de Coligny who
achieved the establishment of a
twelve-year armistice between the arm
ed Netherlands and Spain.
She inherited the love of peace and
federation from her great father But
despite all her work, she lived to have
hel sat years embittered as her early
ones had been, for feud and war ragged
around her when she died at the age of
Sc in Fontainebleau.
In 164S Chatillon was raised to a
uutcny III favor OF the nephew OF Lou
ise's brother, Franz This nephew bore
his brave ancestors name of Gaspard
de Coligny but he had only one son.
who died without issue. So, in 1857, the
male line of the Colignys persisted and
Chatillon fell to the Montmorencys.
The Coligny castle did not belong to
the family until 14S7, when Katherine
de Saligny brought the castle into the
Coligny family as her dowry when she
married William II of Coligny.
The Colignys were native to the east
of France, close to the boundaries of
Savoy. They were a branch of the
Dukes of Burgundy so the Kaiser
could no doubt get heralds to find for
him that he is permitted to display the
Burgundian eagle in the red field. in
addition to his other arms.

MOBILE AND OHIO RATES
Considered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.

Considered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day decided
the case involving the rates and prac-
tees of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
Company in the transportation of
grain to Vicksburg. Miss, shipped from
or through St. Louis and East st.
Louis, Ill. 1t is held that a published
tariff regulation. permitting grain to
be shipped through from point of origin
to final destination, with a stop-over
privilege in East st. Louis for clean
ing, sacking or other legitimate pur-
pose. the shipment covering a proper
tional or balance of a through rate
from East st. Louis, is not shown to
be Objectionable in this case.
The shipment, however, of grain to
East st. Louis on a local rate, and
forwarding from there as a new ship
ment on a II cents proportional rate
to Vicksburg, and common points, is
objected to by the commission, as it
disregards the higher 10 cents local
rate from East st. Louis to those des-
tinations.
