THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: “SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1394 et — et EVANGELIZING THE INDIAN Dr, Bestman Describes the Work Now Being Oarried on Among Them. IS HIMSELF A CHRISTIANIZZD SIOUX Yemptutions to Which His People Are Sub. Jeet—Omaha Clergymen Who Will At tend the n Omala Palpits Today. ‘remont Convocat: Dr. Eastman, the educated Sioux Indian, Who has been sent out by the international committee of the Young Men's Christian as soclation to supervise and encourage th work among the Indians, spoke last night at the Young Men's Christian association hall upon the success and growth of the assoclation among his brethren. Dr. Bast- man is a member of the class of '87 of Dart- mouth college, and Is also a graduate of the Boston Medical college. His home Is in St Paul, but during the last three months he has been traveling through the western agencles, reviewing the work that has already been done. He is a calm, even speaker, with the grave manner usual with Indians, but in bis case this is softened considerably by smiles. Mr. Charles K. Ober, one of the traveling secretaries of the international committee and & brother of Secretary Ober of the Omaha assoclation, prefaced Dr. Bastman's talk with a few remarks regarding the object and the extent of associations. He sald branches ex- fsted in the citics, the colleges and among Fallroad men; among the colored men of the #outh and the Indians of the west., even among different nationalities, These facts fllustrated clearly that the association fur- hished mutual helps, self help and means of helping others to young men of all kinds. He also stated how he was instrumental in organizing the first association among the Indians at the Carlisle school in 1885, and how the movement has spread since then, After the close of his remarks Mr. Ober in- troduced Dr. Eastman, who spoke substan- tially as follows ““There are at present among the Indians thirty-five assoclations. Three of these are at schoals outside the reservations, two in Canada and the rest on the reservations, most of these being in the two Dakotas and Nebraska, and one or two in Montana. Most of them average twenty-five members. The largest one s that at Cherry Creek, Cheyenne River agency, S. D., which contains about 100 young men. It o surprising how the idea sprung up where the conditions were %0 unfavorable. There are no prospects of improvement on the reservations under the present system of governing, but ample scope for retrogression. The Indians are not al- lowed to support themselves, as food Is given them. They have no occupation. Hence, they are given every advantage for #piritual, moral and physical degeneration yet the association sprung up on faith. It must have been faith that urged them to ride fifteen or twenty miles on a pony's back in winter or summer, wet or dry, to attend a simple evening prayer meeting, without organ or solo. “This way Is the only way to save the young. It is not the old Indians who die ast, but the young, because of the new evils hat came from or with the whites. They gannot resist the new temptations, and they must be furnished with something to coun teract this. Education and schools alone do not do it. These are now detriments. but put Christianity at the base of educa- tion and then it will succeed. “Yet, although the idea arose from thelr own thinking, they need assistance and sym- pathy. When they found that I had been sent out among them by the international tommitteo they were much pleased. With yympathy they can do much better. Al- hough they have a good deal of faith, they like recognition, for they have no organiza- tlon, They come together and sing and read the gospel in the Indian tougue. Nothing more, for they have no reading Tooms, bright walls or gymnasium, yet they enjoy It, because they are in earnest. Most of them can scarcely read the bible, and do not understand many passages, yet they glean considerable faith with the help of those who are a little farther advanced They do missionary work as they are abl in @ practical, simple, spontancous wa: They make and sell things and send the proceeds to the missionary fund for work among their less advunced brethren.” Dr. Eastman closed with an urgent plea that his hearers forget the ‘‘pigment of the skin,” and help the Indians by prayer. Temptation is more powerful with them The whites had some good principles, at loast self-respect. Kven this was not al- fowed the Indian under the present system of governing thom. This afternoon the two speakers will ad- dress the men's service, entering more fully upon the topic: “Christlan Lite of Young Indians.” Dr. Eastu and his companion, accom- panied by Secretary Obr, will leave some time next week .to attend a conference to b2 held by the Indian members of the asso- clation at Cherry Creek, Cheyenne River agepcy. This is some 200 miles overland from Plerre. They will camp out for two weeks, and expect to enjoy themselves thoroughly, besides obtaining profitable | struction. Methodlat Conference in Omaha. Bishop Andrews will preside over the meeting of the North Nebraska Methodist conference which convenes at the Seward Street Methodist church in Omaha, October 4, to be in session five days, with an an- ticipated attendance of 175 ministers and delegates from 100 churches, Next Wednesday the first annual Swedish Methodist conference of the states of Towa, Nebraska, Missourl and Kansas will meet at the Swedish Methodist church in this city.

WAS THE HEAD OF THE FREXCH BOURBONS After Hovering at Death's Door for Many Days He Finally Succumbs to Cancer of the St h—Autopsy to Be Held, LONDON, Sept. 8.—The comte de Paris is dead, The comte died at Stowe house, his London residence, at 8.40 o'clock this morning. The disease from which he suffered was given out by the physicians as cancer of the stomach, but it will probably require an autopsy to de- termine the exact cause of his death. The death scene was one of quiet and peace on the part of the comte and of pro- found emotion to the circle relatives about his bedside. During the night the comte several times appeared to have passed away, o feeble was his pulse and so deadly his pallor. Dr. Recomier had the most extreme difficulty frequently in feeling the light beats of the heart and the weakness of the distinguished sufferer during his last hours of sickness was so great that he was unable to_speak, although he succeeded in making it apparent that he desired to utter a few more words of farcwell to those around him. The touching scenes which were wit- nessed at Stowe house on Thursday night when the dying man was not expected to live until Friday morning, were repeated this morning. The family and the old scrvants were all In attendance and to each one the head of the royal house of France feebly said a few additional kind words of farewell, after which the family knelt at his bedside and offered up heartf.lt prayers for the dying. He rarely, however, referred to his approaching death. always trylng to scothe the sorrow of those around him. Now and then a de:p sigh would escape from the sufferer, and he would mutter the phrase he repeated during the past week, “C'est blen long,” equival.nt to saying he was very weary of waiting for death and that his dread majesty was very slow in coming to his relief. This phrase was characteristic of the last illness of the comte de Paris. Death had mark:d him beyond hope for many days past, but the sick man lingered on, hour after hour, day after day, the light of life flickering fainter every moment until at last it gently went out, so gently indeed that some time clapsed before the fatal verdict was rendered by the attending physiclan. Early in the night his mind secmed to be perfectly clear and he had no trouble in recog present to whom he was ever suggesting in mew forms his words uttered when the family gathered at his bedside for the last time, it was then believed, on Thursday evening last. On that evering, which will remain ever memarable to the family of the dead man, he fre- quently and ecarnesily enjoined them to lov each other tenderly, reminding them that united families are always happy families. The utterances of the dying man were o loving, gentle and touching that it was no wonder that they brought forth heart-break- ing sobs from all who heard them. The death scene was most touching. The comtesse de Paris closed her husband's eyes, and all the princes and princesses and in the order of rank stepped forward Sn.d Kissed the hand of the dead man. PUBLISHED TO THE WORLD. After the death of the comte a notice was posted upon the gates of Stowe house as follows: “The comte de Paris gradually sank during last evening and night. He suffered no pain and quictly passed away in the presence of his family, and the princes and princessss at 8:40 {his morn- ing." The remains of the Comte de Paris will be buried at Weybridge, Surrey; the date of in- terment Is not yet definitely decided upon. The last sacrament was administered to the Camte de Paris by Monseigneur Ahulst, rector of the Catholic institution at Paris, whose mother was one of the ladies in wait- ing upon the wife of Louis Philippe. A very large number of messages were dispatched from Stowe house today after the death of Comte de Paris to distant rela- tives and friends. Yesterday a telegraphic message was received from a number of French royalists who met and prayed for the dying man in the old cathedral of Laval, capital of the department of Mayenne, s: ing: “Present to Mgr. Duc @' Orleans and Mume. Comtesse de Paris our re homag The words of this name of the Duc d’ the Comte de P v ot message, Orleans putting the eldest son of ris first, shows, it is claimed that the r lists of France already regard the Duc Orleans as king of France. There are, however, two other pretenders to the throne of France, Don Carlos, duke of Madrid, and General de Bourbon, who styles himself Duc 4" Anjou, and who claims the throne. Their pretensions, it may be added, are ridiculed by the press and public, even among the royalists of France. The bells of Datford church and all those of Buckingham parish, in which Stowe house is situated, were tolled all the morning. It was first expected that the remains of the late head of the house of Orleans would be interred in the mansion of the Orleans family built by Louis Philippe, in the chapel attached to the ancient castle of Dreux, twenty miles from Chartres, in the depart- ment of Eure et Loire, France. But per- mission had first to be obtained from the French government, and it is understood that the matter was discuseed at a meeting of the French cabinet today. In any case, as already stated, the remains will be buried at Weybridge, Surrey. The body of the comte de Paris repose on the bed on which he died. The tri-colored flag, over the triumphal a at the entrance of the park at Stowe house was half-masted shortly after the comte's death. A speclal train will convey the remains to Weybridge on Wednesday or Thursday. At Weybridge there is a Roman Cal church in which the bodies of Louis Philippe and his wife were placed before being trans- ferred to Dreux. It is now believed that the body of the comte will by permission of the French government be eventually trans- ported to Dreux. At Weybridge the remains of the comtesse de Nemours, wife of the Duc Nemours, uncle of the comte de Paris, aer burled. The comtese de Paris is overcome with grief and fatigue. PARIS, Sept. 8.—The news of the death of comte de Paris spread throughout Framncc quickly. The interest taken in the last ill- ness of the Lead of Orleans family was very great in all parts of the country and the news was received with universal sympathy. ’ Spgung from a royal line of ancestors, whosh flats once bespoke open sesame to the servile favors of three nations, he has led a 1ife that in many ways carrted out the proph- ecles of his knightly lineage and yet failed the paramount realization of his heredity. The comte de Paris is descended from Philip, duke of Orleans, the only brother of Louls X1V, and als of course, from Philippe Egalite, whose head rolled under the guillo- tine in 1793. The count's mother was the Princess Helen of Mecklenburg Schwerin, Born at Paris, August 24, 1838, thecount was only 10 years of age when the revolution of 1848 broke out, He remembers the stormy and critical scenes when his heroic mother, leading him by the hand and carrying in her arms his young brother, the duc de Chartres, faced the French Chamber and strove by courage, address and maternal sen- timent to defend her dynasty, but in vain. After that his royal highness was taken to Claremont, where he received his education. fn 1858 his mother died. It was on hi§ return from the United States, after having participated In the civil war, that the comte de Paris married the Princess Marle Isabelle Francoise d'Assise, daughter of the duc de Montpensier. The wedding occurred May 30, 1864, in the Roman Catholic church of St. Raphael at Kingston- on-Thames, and twenty-five years later the royal couple happily celebrated their siiver wedding anniversary at Sheen house, Mort- lake, near the spot where, as cou they were wedded. Three children have sprung from the union—two daughters and a son, Prince Louis Phillippe Robert, now 23 years of age and the heir, through his father, of all the honors and prospects of the great Bourbon line. In 1571 the comte de Paris vas back in France, a member of the nation. assembly upder M, Thiers' prealdency; and in 1872 be | saw the property of his house restored. At Frohedorf, August 6, 1873, he had his inter view with the comté de Chambord, whom he then acknowledged farmally as the chief of the royal house of Wramce. THE COMTR 1S EXILED. Tha comte de Chumbord died in 1| grasping his white fing, save for w the restoration might have come about, and in 1386 the government of France, not without the assistance and assent of (eneral Bou- langer, passcd the expulsion bill, denying the soll of their native dand “to the direct heirs of families that had relgned in France.” Though frequently urged to aid in intrigues which had for their purpose his Installation on tho throne of Pranee, the comte has uni- formly declined to make any move against the French republic. The connections, more or less direct, of the comte de Paris with the reigning families in Burope are of some Interest. Indeed, the French royalists have asserted that France would pos greater authority with the powers if she had the comte in the presiden- tal chair, He was cousin-german to Leopold 11, king of the Be ang, the mother of that monarch having been a daughter of Louis Philippe, and therefore the comte's aunt The comte stood in the same relation to King Leopold's brother and sister, the former being the comte de Flandres (who married a princess of the house of Hohenzollern, the head of which fs the German emperor Wil- m L), and the latter being the Empress arlotte, widow of Maximilian, emperor Mexico. The comte de Paris was also cousin-german and brother-in-law of King Alfonso of Spain, Queen Isabella being aunt to the comtesse de Paris, and both the comte and King Alfonso have married daughters of the duc de Montpensier. The head of the Orleans family was also connected in man: ways with the house of Hapsburg, the reign- ing dynasty in Austria The comte de Paris was allied to the Bour- bons of the two Sicilies through the duchess @'Aumale, the deceased wife of the due, his uncle. By the marriage of his uncle, the du de Nemours, the comte de Paris became re- lated to 'the widely connected house of Saxe-Coburg and Gothia, also to that of Mecklenburg-Schwerin famil his mother being a princess that house. The brother of the em! of Russia is married to the Princess of Mecklenburg. In 1890 the comte de Paris, attended by an elaborate retinue, visited the United States and was made the honored guest of the republic. His visit called forth unstinted encomiume of his gallant conduct during the civil war and his freely avowed sympathy for the United States. Great men flocked to do him homage and the entire country was agog over his coming. The comte's visit to America caused siderable speculation, it being averred that his trip was for a political purpose, but, as expressed by a friend at the time, “He ban- ished politics on his arrival and became a loval citizen and lover of the repub He was simply an officer of the union army who served her with honor and who after- ward came to see his old comrade The next year marked an incident which distinetly showed the comte’s aversion to a policy that would have characterized him as an aspirant for the French throne. DISAPPOINTED HIS FOLLOWERS. A conference of the leaders of the Orlean- ist party was held at the Sheen house, the comte’s residence in England, August 7, 1891, and his royal highness was urged to adopt measures to frustrate the aims of Car- dinal Lavigerie, who sought an alliance be- tween the republic of France and the vatican The count declined. M. de Gourdon, a me| ber of the Freneh Chamber of Deputies, urged that the comte issue a manifesto calling upon the clergy to rally around the standard of the Orleanists, but the prince declar=d he would leave that to an Orleanist bishop. He held that time would show Cardinal Lavige- rie's policy to be an impossibility. “The r public and religion,” he said, ‘‘are opposed to each other, and it is impossible to recon- cile the difference between them." There are doubts In France as to the royal character of the comte de Paris’ ancestry. Evidence is alleged to have been secured showing that King Louts 'Philippe, ho taught a school in America at the beginning of the present century, and afterward reigned as soverelgn of France from 1840 1o 1848, was a changeling... “He was not the son of the regicide, Duk: Philippe d'Orleans, sur- named ‘Egalite,; but was the offspring of the Florentine jailer Chiappini,” says the marquise de Fontenoy. “Not a Bourbon.” As the comte d: Paris Is the grandson of Louis Phillippe, the claim that the latter was not of royal descent led to the remark by Count Maurice d’Atigne at a banquet in the French capital in 1891 that th> comte is “not a Bourbon, but a mere Chiappini, with the blood of a base-born Italian jaller.
