BLESSED WITH CHILDREN.

Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris had three
children, two daughters and a son.
The son, who bears his fathers name,
Algernon, was for time an officer in
the United States army and saw some
service in the Philippines, but his
health compelled the abandonment of
military career. During the past
few years he has travelled extensively,
and some months ago was married to
a very beautiful young woman in
Paris. The eldest daughter, Vivian,
was married a year or two since, but
the younger daughter, Rosemary, the
beauty Of the family, is still unmarried.
Some months since much discussion
was precipitated when it was rumored
that she was engaged to the son of
one Of the Confederate generals who
fought against General Grant in the
campaigns of the Civil War.
Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris is q
woman who has always been held in
high esteem by large circle of fem
mime friends. From her school days
she has seemed to inspire the regard
of members of her own sex, and some
idea of her popularity may be formed
from the fact that on the occasion of
her wedding she was attended by
eighteen bridesmaids, all gowned alike.
Mrs. Sartoris is several years younger
than her famous brother, Gen. Fred
D. Grant, of the United States Army,
but her birthday was three years ear
lier than that of Jesse Grant, the
youngest member of this famous fam
lily.

NELLIE GRANT SARTORIS.
SKETCH OF THE LOVELY WHITE
HOUSE BRIDE OF THE DAYS
OF GENERAL GRANT.

She Met AIgernon Sartoris, Her
Future Husband, on Shipboard ON
Return European TRIPS Mother
OF Three Children.
No American girl, not even President
Roosevelt's daughter, ever had more
brilliant wedding than Nellie Grant,
the beloved child of the great Civil
War hero; yet of late years the public,
which has always taken kindly inter-
est in Gen. Grants family, has heard
comparatively little of his only daugh-
ter.
When Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, widow
Of the President, was living, her
daughter spent much time with her
mother at the latter's home in the city
of Washington, but since the death of
her mother Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris
can scarcely be said to have had a fixed
residence in any American city. How
ever, she has always been very fond
of st. Louis, and she made her home in
the Missouri metropolis during most of
the time the recent Worlds Fair was
in progress there,
Possibly the liking of Mrs. Sartoris
for st. Louis is to be attributed to the
fact that her birth, in August, 1856,
occurred at her Grandfather Dents
country home near St. Louis, the birth
place of her mother. When General
Grant was elected President, and in
deed during the first three years that
he and his wife lived at the White
House, the daughter was at school
Toward the close of President Grants
first term, however, Miss Nellie made
her social debut at the Presidential
mansion, and her cadet brother, home
from West Point, was her escort and
companion.
NET PRINCE CHARMING.
General Grants daughter made q
tour of Europe soon after she formally
entered society, and everywhere re-
ceived the most distinguished atten-
tions from the royal families of Great
Britain and the Continent. On the
way home on the steamer Russia she
who was later to win her heart and
hand. From the moment that the en-
gagement Of Miss Grant was an
nounced the whole American people
manifested an interest in the bride-to-
be which never found parallel save
in the enthusiasm for Alice Roosevelt.
The fact that the lucky man was an
Englishman and not citizen of the
republic, while it was a matter Of deep
regret to many persons, including
President Grant himself, was not al
lowed to cast a damper upon the joyous
occasion. Mr.. .Algernon Sartoris was
but twenty-three years of age and Miss
Grant was only nineteen when, on
Thursday, May 21, 1874, they were

CAPT MOORE IS
 OUT OF COURT

Judge GunuiSon sustained the de- murrer to the complaint in the case of Capt. William Moore against J. Der nard Moore, yesterday, and gave Capt. Moore 90 days in which to file an amended complaint. Until that shall have been done he is out of court. The demurrer was generally and on the ground that the complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action.
 This is a suit that was begun by Capt. Moore against his son for sl0,0O0, alleged to have been due on account of the partnership they entered into many years ago when the townsite of Skagway was first located by J. B, Moore. The latter denies that he owes any such sum, or, in fact, any sum at all. He alleges that be and his father had settled their affairs several times during the partnership, and that there was a tinsl settlement when the part nership was dissolved, at which time he received proper acquittance.
 The friends of J. Bernard Moore says that one who is familiar with his fathers foudness for the courts of law will understand how impossible it would be for the former 10 remain the old mans debtor for these many years without tbis suit having been con- menced long ago. They say the old man would never have consented to a settlement of the differences between .he two hsd he believed himself en- titled to sl0, ,OOO or any other sum from his son.
