WEDDING SOON
Mime Anna Could and Prince Belle Bave inc BanDs Post
 ed on the Ouler Wall.

Paris, June 20.-The marriage bans of Mme Anna Gould who was formerly the Countess de Castellane and Prince Helie de Sagan, cousin of Madame Goulds first husband were posted on the walls of the offices of the mayors of the sixteenth and sev- enth arrondissements of Paris, in ac- cordance with the law that requires the publication of a marriage in the arrondissement of each contracting party
 The document, which in the case of Madame Gould is preceded by the marriage declaration of & seamstress and followed by that of butcher, reads as follows:
 This publication of an intended marriage between Marie-Pierre-Ca- mille-Louise-Helie- -Boson De Tally rand-Perigord, Prince de Sagan, rent fer, domiciled at No Il rue Sedillot, eldest son of Charles-Guillaume Fred eric-Boson de Talleyrand-Perigord, Duke de Sagan and Talleyrand, with out profession, and Anne Alexandrine Seilliere, deceased, and Anna Gould without profession, domiciled at No 1R6 Avenue Malakoff, daughter of Jay Gould and Helen Miller, deceased, di- vorced from Marie-Paul Boniface, Count de Castellane, of which ac- knowledgment has been drawn up is posted this day on the doors of the mayors office. The document gives the age of Madame Gould as B and Prince de Sagan as 49. The exact place and the date of the wedding have not yet been disclosed but it will be celebrated within a fortnight and very quietly, only a few friends and relatives, including George Gould, being present. It will not be in France. The religious ceremony will be according to the Protestant rite.
 Prince Helie has not renounced his Catholic faith. Count Boni de Cas- tellane has not yet made any legal move and Madame Gould's lawyers do not think he will act until after the marriage. They are confident his efforts to secure possession of his children will be futile.

 This Afternoon.

Mrs Leonie Tetrault, aged 34 years,
 wife of Alexander Tetrault of B East Liberty street, died suddenly last night. She had not been feeling we'll
 for some time past, but so far as the family knew there was nothing alarming in her condition and it was thought that she would be in her us- ual good health after some time Yes- terday morning she felt some worse than usual and Dr Thibault was cail- ed. The physician didn't notice any, thing particularly dangerous in her case and after giving such instruction
 as he thought the patient needed, he
 left, not thinking much of the mat ter. Along toward evening she felt all right, but later she was taken
 with bad spell and passed away very suddenly. Dr Thibault reported the facts to Medical Examiner Crane, who had the body removed to Lunny's morgue and conducted an autopsy to determine the cause of death. The medical examiner said this afternoon
 that there was nothing to give out. There was nothing to it that the public had any right to know and all he intended to do was sim ply report the result of the au- topsy to the coroner The doctor said that there was nothing at all suspicious about the wonlan's deara. Besides her husband she leaves two children, Blanche and 0na, her mother, Mrs Langlairs, and a broth- CT, Joseph, who resides in Canada. and brother, Victor, of siinneapolis.

THE GRAFT FIGHT
President Ro0sevelt's Leller 10 Rudolph SpreckIes Urges
 Him 10 Keep Up Fight
TALKS ABOUT THE MOB

San Francisco, June 20.-The Call to-day prints letter dated June s at the white house from President Roosevelt to Rudolph Spreckles, in which he comments upon the local graft prosecutions and urges the prosecutors to keep up ne fight. " The following is synopsis If the matter contained in the letter: My Dear MT Spreckles:
 Now and then you and Mir Heney and the others who are associated with you must feel downhearted when you see men guilty of atrocious crimes who for some cause or ctner succeed in escaping punishment, and especially when you see men Of wealth, of high business and, in a sense, of high social standing, band- ed together against you.
 My dear sir, I want you to fe"l that your experience is simply tie experience of all of us who are en- gagged in th:s fight. There is no form of slander and wl,x d false hood which will not as a matter of course be employed against all men engaged in such struggle.
 Now 1 do hope that you and your colleagues will treat all this bitter ness with entire disregard. It Is of small consequence to you or to any of us personally; but it is of very great consequence that we should do the work without flinching, on the one hand, and, on the other hands, without losing our good humored common sense, without being angered and to a degre that will in any way cause us to lose our heads.
 Tt is just as bad to be ruled by a plutocracy as by mob. It is pro- foundly an-American, and in social sense profoundly immoral to stand for or against given man, not be- cause he is not a brave, upright and able man, but because he does or does not belong to labor union, or does or does not represent the big business interests. In their essence, down at the foundation of things, the ties thdt dlC dil tdhJ die thooS lhdt knit honest men. brave men, square dealing men together, and it is a mighty poor substitute if we replace these ties by those that bind men to- gether, whether they are good or bad, simply because they follow particu- lar business and have given social standing or belong to particular or ganization.
 You have heart-breaking difficult ties with which to contend. You have to fight not only the banded powers of evil, but, alas, that 1t should be said, the supineness and in- difference of many good men, whose jealous support you had right to feel that you could rely upon. Do not be discouraged; don't finch. You are in a fight for plain decency, for the plain democracy of the people who believe in honesty and in fair dealing as between man and man. Do not become disheartened. Keep up the fight.
 Very sincerely yours,
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Rudolph Spreckels,
