The Millionaire Mother Of Il Socialist.

One of the richest women in the
world--the Duchess Of Galliera died
in Paris. Her grace was the daughter
and heiress Of the Marquis de Brignole
Sale, q rich Genoesa nobleman. She,
years ago, married the Duke de Gal
liera, who was very wealthy, but THEN
fortune was enormously increased by
iudicious speculations. Some idea OF
the Duchess of Galliara's riches and
benevolenca can be formed when it is
said that her husband gave 1000, 900
to the city of Genoa to enlarge the
port, and the Duchess e2,O00,O0O to
build a new hospital the most mag
nificent in Europa-to enlarge five
streets, and to restore churches and
charitable institutions She also pre-
sented to her native city her palace
the celebrated Palace Kosso. with it's
superb collection Of Vandykes and
other pictures by the great masters.
In Paris she endowed museum of art,
an orphanage, and other charitable in
situations, and she is we'll known also
to have purchased back a good deal of
the Spanish estates OF the Due de
Montpensier, which she presented to
him many years ago. The only son
and heir of this lady, Sienor Ferrari -
he refuses the title of Duke-is we'll
known socialist, whereas the Duchess
herself was an extrome Royalist.-

then attempted suicide at Liberty Church,

Mann was made insanely jealous by seeing
her in company with Hensley at school

cises were over he called young Hensley
from the crowd and shot him. The ball
struck him in the right breast and penetra-

thinking he had killed his rival, instantly
turned the pistol upon himself and fired
two shots. The latter was fatally wounded

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The conferees
on the territorial admission bill held d
-two-hour session this morning, during
which time the whole situation was gone
over thoroughly, but without any result.
The committee adjourned to meet again
tomorrow. 1t was apparent, it is said,
that an earnest effort would be made to
agree on bill that could be reported
unanimously, but this will have to include
New Mexico if the house conferees are
to support the measure. They are re-
ported to be willing to withdraw
the other objections to the division of
Dakota, if this is conceded them. The
outspokan sentiment in the senate repub-
lican caucus in favor of the admission of
New Mexico may induce the senatorial
conference to agree to such a compro-
mise.

"The group of five mines belonging to

The entire five locations are now being
developed by one tunnel. The property
is the west extension OF the Jay Gould
mine. There is also cross cut tunnel
1,5O0 feet long, driven with Burleigh
drills. The tunnel has already cut one
valuable vein six feet In width, It is ex-
pected that the tunnel will cut The main
Jay Gould vein within the next $50 feet.
Several hundred feet of drifts have also
been run in the mine and the new own
ers intend to largely increase the present
working force and push the development
as rapidly as possible. The Jay Hawk
company includes, besides the original
owners, syndicate of London mining
men. The mines have an air shaft sunk
1856 feet deep, to connect with the tunnel,
and consequently have pure air."
