JESSIE BENTON FREMONT.
The brilliant wife OF the Once
Famous Pathfinder

Washington CIR. Lewiston Journal
1 had q talk with the famous Jessie Ere
mont the other day. 1t Is very easy to see at
Il glance that she was a very handsome girl.
Her good looks, however, have not entirely
departed. Rather, beauty has changed to
stateliness. She is large and stout, and
combs her luxuriant hair straight back. She
is TO all appearances as happy and contented
as when a girl. Notwithstanding age has
changed her looks, | am told it has not
changed her manner in the least. She still
grnces the drawing-room with as much ease
and composure as ever, and talks with tho
same brilliancy.
She is a daughter OF the noted Thomas
Benton, of Missouri, for many years United
States senator from that state. She met
Fremont in Washington, whereupon the lat
ter became frantically in love with her. Her
father and mother were much aveise to tire
match, and did everything to break it. The
young couple, however, were determined,
and were married by a Catholic priest, no
Protestant Clergyman co%nsentins 10 perform
the ceremony. Although Senate and Mrs
Benton were very angry, II reconciliation
soon took place.
Mrs. Fremont was Il woman of remarkable
courage and fortitude. She Joined her hus-
band in many Of his journeys in the west
until they finally settled in California. In
the early days Of California IA struggle en-
sued as TO whether slavery should exist there.
The pro-slavery party, so tho story goes,
labored with the women of the state, telling
them that unless they kept slaves they would
be slaves themselves. Mrs. Fremont was APP
preached, whereupon she stoutly replied:
moi Rather than have slavery in Califor-
mia, III do my own work. / have done IL So
far; and III do it still!7 Slavery WASH
recognized in California after that.
In the summer Of 1896 Fremont was
chosen as the Republican nominee for presi-
dent. A glance at the fl es of newspapers of
the time conviuccs one of the bitterness OF
the contest. and OF the important part Ms,
Fremont played in the campaign. Her name
was In e~verybody's mouth, and was the sub
ject Of campaign songs. But Gen. Fremont
was defeated, and Jessie never entered the
White House as the presidents wife,
ayes, we have lived IN New York ever
since the war; she said, "and are as
happy as ever in our old age. The general
is as young and vigorous as any OF you, if he
is Il years of age. He has never worn
glasses in his life-Iever had IL tooth filled
and very seldom has had anything to do with
doctors. No, of course, ne uoes no business
TO speak of, but lives II very quiet and happy
life
Should Mr.. and Mrs. Fremont be spare
two or three years longer, they will cele-
brate their golden wedding.

A GOOD ENDING.

The sudden and satisfactory end of the
strike of employees on the lines of the
Union Pacific Railway company is indeed
a pleasure to the people living along
those lines, as well as to the employees
themselves. A prolonged strike meant
hard times in many places and much dis
tress and suffering among the majority of
the strikers. But happily the calamity
has been sverted and all is now as serene
as it Was before the order of Manager
Clark went forth. OF one thing the EN-
ployes of the Union Pacific may be
proud, and that is, the fine record they
made during the strike. There was not
the semblance of violence offered or
threatened. The company property was
left in excellent condition, the workmen
simply leaving their places as il leaving
of work for a holiday. But there was
that quiet determination, sober, earnest
thought of the strikers, which toretold
strong and intelligent resistance. So that
when the resembling order came the boys
were all ready to return to work with a
consciousness of having done nothing to
be ashamed of or to regret.

Thursday issue the .SUa published this
paragraph of news. The subject had al

lished in The LEADER on April -. If
the san wished to work up a reputation
for veracity it might have mentioned the
fact that one single column of itS ycster-
days issue contained at least six items Of
new that had been published in TIN

~viously. Dragging about what We have

that may accrue from working the br,g

The fact hat a strike ON the Union

OF n clerical error in the indoysement of
the returns from one of the counties of
