American city. His present name, as
m4uy Of your readers know, a. w. ID.
Lowe, q name assumed By him on bis
Erfival in Uruguay. ] do not Femem-
Der ever to have heard Of 3 more In
tereeting and romantic career than
his. WlnsloW was dropped out Of the
navy in 1859, having served a. q chap
lain from 1884. His newspaper and
ether enterprises IN BostOn, which
were cut short BY the discovery Of
large forgefies, occupied him for three
OF four years, and bis present career
dates, believe, from about the year
1875 or 1875. Since his arrival in
Buenos Ayres fortune seems 20 have
smiled on his every sndeavor, and
although his former record Il well
known, he is treated Is q reputable
person, and is regarded as one Of the
most successful men Of that place.
Almost Immediately on his arrival in
BuenOs Ayres he succeeded in boz
rowing money sufficient 10 establish
his newspaper, the Daily Herald.
This has been a success from the start,
and Is now published IN French and
Spanish as well as In English. There
is q Sunday paper a. well as q daily,
and Mr.. WinslOwis religious hOmilies
in his Sunday edition are said 70 be as
good reading as the latitude Of BuenOs
Ayres affords. He has become the
owner Of q fine block Of buildings,
drives the best pair Of horses in BuenOs
AyFes, which by the way, Il q city Of
800, 900 people, and lives In q hand
some quinta on the outskirts. He
has q telephone from his business
olilce 10 his residence and does most
Of his editing there. Soon after his
arrival In BuenOs Ayres he succeeded
in marrying q young woman and
went TO England on q wedding trip,
but remained there but q short time
for fear Of an application from the
United States for his eXtraditiOn. Ny
informant says since be has been In
Buenos Ayres ne has been TO Europe
twice on important missions for the
government OF that country;
that he has the entree 10 the presl-
dents house, where be even takes
precedence OF the presidents minis
terial advisers, who are obliged to
wait until bis business IL done before
they 90 in 10 do theirs. He ls 50
powerful that be would have no diff
Guilty IN breaking down any person
who should undertake 10 expose or
oppose him, and no one cares 20 do II.
He Is q member Of the principal club
Of the place, and is personally Intimate
with the American minister. He has
experienced only rebuff since his
residence In that country began,
which was his expulsion from the
church on account Of the disclosure OF
his base treatment Of bis first wife,
whom be abandoned 10 penury IN
Massachusetts,. IL is said that he has
not manifested any disposition to pay
of the amount realized out Of his
fOrReries in Boston. His credit In
Buenos AyFes lie said 10 be exceeding
" good, and prominent merchants are
always ready to lend him all the
money he wants. II this is not q
remarkable career, then never heard
Of one.
