SKETCH OF NINE.
De LAFAYETTE
MARRIED WHEN FIFTEEN YEARS
OF AGE.
In Her Life Was Compressed More
Romance. PathOs and Tradegy
Than Is Contained in the Life of
Thousand Ordinary Women.

All Americans are familiar with
the career of the Marquis de Lafay-
cite, but the life story of his beautiful
wife. Adrienne, is not so well known
Nine. de Layfette was born in Paris
100 years ago today and died on
Christmas day, 1907 In the forty
eight years of her existence were
compressed more romance. pathos
and tradegy than is contained in the
lives OF a thousand ordinary women.
Born OF noble parents in the days
when the nobility were all powerfUl
in France, Adrienne spent q happ.
sirlhood. and became the wife Of Ii,
Marquis de Lafayette when she was
less than fifteen and her husband On
ly nineteen years of age. When only
sixteen her first child was born. and
She WAS named Henriette for tie
proud grandmother After the birth
of ner child Adrienne wished only to
remain with her. and after few
hours of gayety at the Littre Tria-
non with the court she would hurry
back to Paris to her baby.
Then Benjamin Franklin arrived at
Paris, seeking aid for the struggling
colonies. All Paris went mad with en-
Franklin was the rage, and
there We're hats a Ia Franklin. Frank
lin canes, Franklin scarfs, Lafayette
caught the fever. for he had pas
sionate love and belief in liberty
He told Franklin that at the first
news OF our quarrel his heart was
enrolled in ii.
Child as she was and entirely de-
voted to him, Adrienne gave Lafay-
cite her full permission to come to
America. In the long weary period
before letters could reach her, she
was brave and cheerful in public. but
she wept sadly when alone. Then
long, loving letters began to come,
the first written on board ship; then
the letters from Charlestown. which
Lafayette said was one of the best
built, most handsome and agreeable
cities that he had ever seen.
Strangely enough, none of Nine
de Lafayette's letters reached him. So
he did not know that little Henriette
died six months after he sailed;
neither did he know that a second
child had been born TO them
1t was two years before the mar
quis came home. The day he arrived
Adrienne was at fete at the palace.
News was brought her that Lafayette
awaited her Marie Antoinette in

Nine de Lafayette had to restrain
herself till the proper thanks and the
ceremony of farewell were over and
the queen had driven away. Then
she fairly flew up the stairway, be-

standing three or four blocks on Court
street, below Main street.
Court street from Cottonwood
street, west, will be reserved for the
public and from 1880 until after the
parade no vehicles of any kind will be
allowed in these three or four blocks.
This is for the protection of the pub
lie. This order or such orders as the
police department decide upon will be
enforced by them.
The parade will contain any amount
of novelties in the formation and
march that is usually not found in pa
rades. The committee who have this
in charge have made every endeavor
to have everything pertaining to this
parade contain nothing of the usual
or ordinary features.
The parade will start promptly at
7:45, formation taking place in front
of the courthouse. McElroy's band
will leave the pavilion at 1880 prompt
ly, marching in ali unusual form, and
the music will be altogether different
than what you will expect to find in
this line of march from the pavilion
in front of the courthouse where they
will form, and will head the parade.
Following the band will be an emble-
matte float, which will be followed by
the parade in squads or unusual
shapes and sizes, and positions. The
marchers will halt in front of the

Tomorrow Afternoon.
PRESIDENT RISKS LIFE
IN DEATH DEFYING AUTOS

Spokane, Sept. 2S.-If President
Taft is not smashed IN an auto wreck
before his western trip is completed
he will be the luckiest man that ever
lived In half of the towns visited
he is whirled over bad streets and
worse roads at death defying speed
and it is a miracle that he has thus
far escaped serious injury from skid
ding wheels or breaking of the ma
chine. No president before ever
faced this danger. In Roosevelts
famous trip he rode in carriages
drawn by horses. Taft likes autos
and the finest and best are placed at
his disposal everywhere. Speed laws
are forgotten and the chauffeur hits
the high places. Those accompanying
Taft are thankful when every ride is
| ended.

Troublesome Pair Skip Out.

Helen HargroVe and Grover fdr-

latter is charged with assault and bat
terry. while the former, if caught, will
be compelled to face a charge OF
selling liquor in violation of the To-
cal option law. The woman has been
conducting the Columbia lodging
house in this city for several months
and in the course Of that time her
place has been raided by the police
no less than three or four times. All
the way from one to four persons
have been arrested as the result OF
each raid. Some time ago Farmer
was ordered to leave town, but when
Chief Of Police Gurdane raided the
place again Sunday morning 1t was
found he had returned TO town. He
was arrested and locked up but re-
leased on bail. Some time later when
he was sought on a more serious
charge It was found ne and the wo-

the operator at the Pendleton station

the beginning of the wireless signal,
and the arc lights will remain dimmed
for five or ten minutes during the
transmission of the wireless message.
