ment has been reached among the

go his plan to return to Paris this
week, and the insistence of Nine
Gould upon her right to decide for her
self are said to have broken down the
opposition to the engagement, so that
all except George Gould have consent
ed to it, The latter is the custodian
of his sisters property.
Mrs. George Gould is credited with
having exercised the tact of diplo-
mat in effecting reconciliation be-
tween Nine. Gould and her relatives.

was to be disagreement over the
prince. Mrs. Gould went on a visit to
Hot Springs, Va. Returning from
that place. she found Nine. Gould at
the apartments Of her friends, Mr.. and
Mrs. Tyler Morse, at the St.
Regis, while her relatives we're still

Utter misery of every sort was
found at Purvis, Miss, by relief par
ties. Despite the fact that of the
$500 Inhabitants which this little
town boosted. there were only 900
today, still there were not sufficient
accommodations in the wrecked vii
lage for even the wounded. Negro
mammies and little black children
lay wounded and helpless under the
brOiling Southern sun. Some had
broken bones, some were partly
crushed and others had been wound
ed by sticks and splinters. These
unfortunates were lucky if they had
a blanket or wrecked couch upon
which to rest. There was not enough
shelter in the town to protect them
from the sun.
The conditions that prevail at
Purvis are the same which many

region find themselves in today.
While the loss of life was great
among the negroes, still many white
