Fernando Wood.
Cincinnati cammercisl


 Erect, angular and freezing was the impression he made on outsiders; but those who have sat at his famous dinner parties tell of jokes and good cheer. For many years his wife has been insane, and Mrs Hickox, relative, took care of the smaller children and kept house for the family. His last wife was Miss Alice Mills. a very beautiful heiress. The policy of Mir. Wood concerning money mutters caused trouble, so have been informed by a friend, and his mother-in-laW, Mrs. Mills, was entirely separated from her daughter, and, while loving her with a passionate tenderness, never would enter Mir. Woods house to see her. So bitter were her feelings to- ward the husband of her child that she even willed her pictures to public gal lerv in order to keep them from adorn- ing his walls. When the longing to know something of the delicate, and, as she thought, miserable girl, whom the venerable man had wooed for her for tune, became too strong to be resisted, Mrs. Mills would take lady friends to her child's door, and sit in the carriage veil ed, while they called, and with tears and eagerness would ask of them as they drove away how Alice looked and what she said: and yet so severe and proud was she that no message was ever car ried from her to Mrs Wood, who never guessed how, in disguise, her mother often waited outside her home. So mis- erable were these two women separated, that Mr.. Woods health dropped, she became melancholy, and a prisoner in her own rich house. Mrs. Mills, restless, unreasonable and morbid, seemed almost beside herself when mention was made of Mir. Wood or his wife. Her life was in gay society, she lived at hotels in Wash ington, but at last, aiter day of weeping for her lost child, she fell, or jumped, from the window of her room, one fourth of July five or six years ago, and died in q few hours. They say Mr. Wood acted very kindly, at the last, came to the dying woman and tried to see her; but with her last breath she begged the bystanders to keep that man away. Since her mothers death, Mrs. Wood has been continuously in an asylum, and probably has no knowledge of her husbands decease.
