‘End Was Hastencd by the Death of
the Duchesse d’Alencon.
HIS LONG CAREER OF HONOR.
He Was the Son of King Louis Philippe
of France and \Von Fame as Soldier,
Author and Statesman—A Royal-
ist, Though a. Patriot.
Paris, May 8.—-News was received
here today that the Due d’Aumale died
at Zucco, Sicily, from the shock conse-
quent upon learning of the death of
the Duchesse d’Alencon in the Paris
fire. He was 75 years of age.
Sketch of the Due d’Aumale.
Henri Eugene Philippe d’Orleans,
Duc d’Aumale, prince of the family of
Orleans, was born .in Paris on Jan. 16,
1822, and was the fourth son of the late
King Louis Philippe and Queen Marie
Amelie. He was educated for the
army, and in 1840 he accompanied his
brother, the Due d’Orleans, to Algeria.
and took .part in the campaign which
followed. From 1842 to 1843 he was
the subdivision of Medeah, .he conduct-
ed one of the most brilliant campaigns
of the war, capturing the camp and all
the correspondence of the famous Arab
leader, Abd el Kader, together with
3,‘600 prisoners and an immense amount
of treasure, for which he was made a
lieutenant general and was appointed
to the command of the province of Con—
stantine. He directed the Expedition
against Biskara in 1844., and in the same
year married Marie Caroline Auguste
de Bourbon, daughter of Prince Leo-
pold of Salerno. She died at Twicken—
ham, England, in 18639..
The Duc d’Aumale, in 1847, succeeded
Marshal Bugeaud as governor general
of Algeria. On receiving the news of
the revolution of February, 1848, ,he re—
signed his command and joined the ex-
royal family in England. With his
brother, the Prince de Joinville, he pro-
tested against the decree banishing his
family from France, and afterward're-
sided chiefly in England, devoting him-
‘self to literary pursuits.
A pamphlet addressed by him to
Prince Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, at
the beginning of 1861, caused a great
sensation and led to a political prose-
cution by the French authorities, who
condemned the printer and publisher
of the pamphlet to a fine and impris—
onment. The duke also challenged
Prince Napoleon to fight a duel, and
the latter’s refusal to meet him excited
great indignation in France.
Bowed to National \Vill.
Shortly before the elections for the
national assembly in February, 1871,
the duke who, during the Franco-Ger-
man war had in vain sought permission
to serve in the French army, addressed
from London a. proclamation to the
electors of the department of the Oise,
in which, while declaring his prefer-
ence for a constitutional monarchy, he
stated his willingness to bow to the na-
tional will if a liberal republic were
adopted as the form of government. He
was succeszul in his candidature, but
did not return to France until after the
law banishing the members of the or-
leans family was repealed on June 8 of
the same year. He took his seat in the
assembly on Dec. 19, 1871.
He was elected a. member of the
French academy on Dec. 30, 1871, and
was nominated a general of division on
March 10, 1872. In this capacity he pre-
sided over the council of war before
which Marshal Bazaine was arraigned
for surrendering Metz to the Germans.
At the elections for the assembly in
February, 1876, he declined to come for-
ward again as a. candidate, in order
that he might devote his undivided at-
tention to his military duties.
After the passing of the bill of ex-
the name of the Due d’Aumale was
struck off the French army list by the
then minister of war,'General Bou-
langer, and he withdrew from France.
Soon after he had-left the country it
was discovered that he had given his
beautiful Chauteau de Chantilly, with
all the priceless treasures it contained,
to the Institute of France in trust for
the French nation. The decree of ban-
ishment was revoked in March, 1889,
and he returned to Chantilly, in which
self. Duriing the same month he was
elected president of the French Acad-
emy for three months. He was elected
a. member of the Academy of Fine Arts
in 1880 and in 1891 received the degree
of D. C. L. from Oxford. The first two
volumes of his “History of the Princes
of the House of Conde” appeared in
1869, and the fifth volume appeared in
1889.
