It The king of France so the old ballad tells us with 40000 men marched up the and then marched down again And so Prince Louis Philippe Robert due d' Orleans who thinks he has a right be king of France celebrated his twenty-first birthday by marching into Paris and offering to serve as a private soldier as other Frenchmen of that age are required to do But there is a law forbidding any member of any family which claims the throne to re-enter France and so the duke soon found himself in the Conciergerie prison a now the government gives out that will be sentenced for a time after whio President Carnot may pardon him if hli sees fit The duke is the son of that Comte de Paris who with his younger brother served awhile on the staff of Gen Mc-Clellan In those days it was no little amusement to Americans on the staff to observe the extreme deference paid to the count by his younger brother who acted precisely as if his elder were the king of France is matter of common knowl- that "the French princes" they were called soon got tired so democratic country as therjj 'i A They were grandsons of Louis Philippe the last DUC ORLEANS acknowledged king of France and the Comte de Paris took high rank as a scholar and writer In 1867 he married his beautiful and talented cousin Isabella daughter of the Due de Montpensier and this boy was born to them Feb 6 1869 All these are "of the younger branch" for the Comte de Chambord as the direct descendant of Charles is by strict law of descent nearer the throne When however in 1832 the people overthrew Charles they ruled out that line as a finaiity and gave the crown to Louis Philippe who was a son of Philippe Egalite who was a descendant on his mother's side from Louis XIV and on his father's from that king's brother and therefore had concentrated in him a little more of the blood of the original and beloved Bourbon Henry IV than any other claimant In the early days of Jthe republic little attention was paid to these kinglets the more claimants there were of that sort the less likelihood there was of any of them menacing the government the boy the Republicans really dreaded was the prince imperial son of Louis Napoleon Very opportunely he went to South Africa with the British troops and got killed by the Zulus and so his cousin young Victor Napoleon became his heir and that practically ended the imperialists' chances Meanwhile the kinglets had been gaining popular favor and one of them the Due d'Aumale had attained to the high office of division general iu the French army The Comte de Paris' family gradually set up a sort of court in their magnificent mansion in the Faubourg St Germain and the attempt of the so called "Henry or Comte de Chambord of the older branch to assert his claims to the throne of Spain brought on a crisis The expulsion law which was the net result 0f the agitation forbade the re turn to France of any claimant and when therefore the duke presented himself at the Bureau de Recrutement early in the morning and gravely announced his name that he was a citizen of France and had come as a patriotic Frenchmen in compliance with the law to begin his three years' service the officials were completely shaken from their propriety One can but regret that there wasn't a Yankee or an Irishman in control there to have promptly ordered him into barracks with the "toughest" lot of recruits that could be selected one night of such a practical joke would have made him hail the government arrest as a relief The prefect of Paris police arrested him that evening and he spent the night in the Concergerie instead It appeared in the preliminary examination that he entered France by night and in disguise His intimate friend the young Due de Luynes ha been spending some days with him at Lausanne where he was a student in the Swiss Military academy When he announced his intention the Due de Luynes assured him the punishment would be severe Philippe etc declared that imprisonment had no terrors for him France had called her able bodied young patriots to the ranks he was one of them and must go The two friends proceeded to Geneva Philippe who is a blonde concealed his hair with a brown wig and changed his clothes they took the night express and by daylight were in Paris After breakfast with the De Luynes at their elegant mansion he proceeded to "enlist" not for three years but for as many months as the government may think it policy to confine him So strongly do old ideas hold sway in Europe and so strongly (from the American standpoint) do people there reason that journalists and ministers from other nations have dispatched to their journals and anxious monarchs that the government of France "does not appear seriously shaken" People on this side of the water hardly know whether to sneer at a government which can imagine danger in a headstrong boy or laugh at one which boasts of not being "seriously shaken" All Europe agitated by a boy's freak is such a ludicrous comment on recent assurances of "stability" that the American can only fall back on the Calif omian's comment: Is their civilization a failure And is the Caucasian played out? TV PI TT His great hobby is the splendid hotel which bears his name It covers a full block and is one of the best equipped hostelries in the country He is also the head of one of the solid banks of the city that bears his name A couple of years ago Mr Plankinton was much chagrined over some local gossip to the effect that Milwaukeeans had to go from home to secure first class workmen and artisans in many lines of business He fumed and fretted over the matter until he deter mined to prove to his fellow citizens that there were no finer workmen anywhere than right at home With this idea in view he began a couple of years ago the erection of one of the finest houses in the city It was a year in course of erection and cost about $150000 It is built of undressed stone and all of the work was done by the day by Milwaukee workmen It is a beautiful bit of architecture and the interior is a revelation in wood carving and decoration An illustration of this mansion is herewith presented AN EDUCATIONAL MONUMENT It was finally finished and there is probably no more complete establishment in America The stables are the finest the lawns are laid out in flowers and every detail about the place is complete But nobody seems to want it It is entirely closed and there it stands a magnificent monument to this man's public spirit "Let it stand" he said to some one who joked him about the investment "it is a meansof education It will teach people that our workmen are as good as can be found any where George Yenowine GEN SALAMANCA Deala of the Captain General of the Island of Cuba The late captain general of Cuba Manuel de Salamanca Negrete was the a gr a t-grandson of a former governor general of that island who represented the Spanish government a century ago Gen Salamanca was born about 1830 in Andalusia in Spain He was educated in the military school at Toledo and -when he came of age entered Hie Span ish army By aEN- salamanca reason of his birth he was a life senator and while yet a young man achieved distinction as an orator He served with Gen Cordova in Italy with the army intended to defend the temporal power of the pope When the Carlist war came on he was made a brigadier general During that struggle he distinguished himself ahcfrwaBTapjdJyL advanced in (Tank At one period while governor of Malaga he wrested the key of their position from the Carlist forces on the line of the Etbro thus forcing their retreat He was then created a field marshal Later he relieved Tortosa by running a train at full speed over a railroad which had been abandoned for years The expedition was so hazardous that he was obliged to place guards over the engineers to enforce his orders After the war Gen Salamanca took his seat in the senate but he was a natural soldier and gave his attention to the better equipment of the army About a year ago he was appointed governor general of Cuba He soon made himself very popular there though ill health principally on account of wounds received in the Carlist war kept him from paying much attention to society He endeavored to place the island in a perfect state of defense using modern methods including new lines of railway opening rivers before not navigable and strengthening the fortifications Gen Salamanca was a bachelor Howard University's New President The new president of Howard university the Rev Dr Rankin left the pastorate of the Valley church in Orange to assume educational duties as the head of a college He was born in Thornton and is of Scotch descent His education was commenced at South Berwick Me and continued at Chester Vt At 15 he entered the sophomore class at Middle bury college having previously taught school He also rev dr rankin taught while in college and afterwards in New Loudon Conn and Warren county Ky After taking his degree at Middlebury he became a tutor there In 1854 he was graduated at Andover and for two years after preached in a Presbyterian church at Potsdam Then he was settled at St Albans then at Lowell Mass and then at Boston From 1869 to 1884 he preached in Washington The rest of his service has been at Orange Woolea Gloves at I Harris's The hill to It as of a IT He Beffan Life as ft Ordinary Batcher The Educational Monument That Will Commemorate nim HU Magnificent Residence There are few men in the west whose names are better known to the masses than that of John Plankinton Within the recollection of many of his neighbors he began life as an ordinary retail butcher killing his own beef cutting it up for his customers and very frequently delivering the meat himself With his family he lived in a few Binall rooms A year ago he retired from business the possessor of many millions of dollars For many years he was the head of the great packing firm of Plankinton Armour Co of New York Chicago Milwaukee and Kansas City the largest concern of its kind in the world which does a business of $60000080 a year Mr Plankinton's name is a familiar one in commercial circles all over the globe The news that this commercial giant was dangerously ill of incurable diseases has called attention to his career which has been in many respects a remarkable one His painful disorders paralysis and a comphca-tion of other diseases to a man oi his age (70 years renaer me case hopeless JOHN plankinton When he retired from business he was desirous of spend ing the sunset of his life in quiet and ease For years he had been a slave to his many lines of business retiring early rising early and putting in a long full day at his office desk Consequently when he retired and the excitement and strain of his enormous business lessened he broke down in health as many a man had done under similar circumstances be fore him The story of John Plankinton's life is not without elements of public interest He was born amid humble surroundings in a rural district in Delaware on March 11 1820 In 1832 he removed with his father's family to Pittsburg Pa and from that city in 1844 he removed to Milwaukee where he has continuously lived ever since He at once began business as a butcher and retailer of meat a trade he had learned in Pittsburg Before settling in Milwaukee Mr Plankinton had made arrangements to enter into partnership with a young butcher already located but finding upon his arrival that his prospective partner had broken faith with him he resolved with characteristic independence and energy to go into business on his own account On a capital all told of $420 he set up housekeeping and purchased his first stock in trade which consisted of one cow for which he paid after selling it the sum of nine dollars securing as a home a little frame building at a rental of eight dollars per month and renting a vacant lot he erected his first building a frame structure that cost $108 In fourteen days after his arrival in the town he was fully equipped for business opening his little shop in September of the year he arrived Being a hard working economical honest man he soon became the leading butcher of the place his sales for the first year amounting to nearly $12000 His business constantly increasing he was compelled to remove to roomier quarters In 1850 he entered into partnership with Mr Frederick Layton and the firm in addition to an extensive retail trade commenced packing pork for market on a scale limited only by the receipts of hogs at Milwaukee The business of the firm continued to increase until 1861 when it was dissolved Mr Plankinton for the three succeeding years continu- THE RESIDENCE OF JOHN PLANKINTON AND HIS SON ing the business alone In 1864 he formed a partnership with Philip Armour under the name of Plankinton Armour with an immense business in Milwaukee a large house at Kansas City and still another in New York city The firm embraced also one of the largest packing establishments in the world the house of Armour Co of Chicago A few years ago Mr Plankinton announced that he had all the money he wanted and sold out his interest in the big packing firm to his partner Phil Armour retaining only his local branch This he kept until last year when he sold it to the Cudahys who had long been in his employ and who are now rapidly coming to the front as big packers In less than two score years Mr Plankington's $420 has swelled to a fortune of $8000000 or $10000000 and the little one horse butcher became a power in the financial world Whatever Mr Plankinton lacked in education he more than made up in shrewdness In his day he was regarded as one of the boldest and most sagacious operators in the speculative provision markets in the country He is a tall powerfully built man with smooth shaven face and straight dark hir which he invariably wears long His home on Grand avenue is one of the finest in Milwaukee and is a perfect museum of fine pictures and art bric-a-brac He lives very quietly with his wife and daughter his son occupying a magnificent mansion near by He has always been one of the most public spirited men in the city When an exposition was planned he gave $50000 Gloves at I Harris's RAILROAD COMPANY Referring to a proposal for a
