sMeRIcA's RICHEST WIDOW.
She Maintains n Private Chapel Costing
Seventy THOUSAND Dollars.

She Maintains n frivate Chapel Costing
Seventy 1housaDI Dollars.
Never has there been such universal
the present season. | saw o lady in
black step out OF handsome mourning
carriage in front OF St Thomas church,
last Wednesday afternoon, and some
one told me that it was Mrs. Moses
Taylor who with Mrs. w. II. Wander
bilt, shares the honor OF being the rich
est widow in America. She is q men,
Der of the Presbyterian church, but is
subject to no bigotries and finds pleas
ure in occasional attendance upon SER
vices in Episcopal churches. Church.
going is one OF her favorite pursuits at
all times, and down at Long Branch she
has a private chapel and chaplain
OF her own, who ministers TO
her spiritual needs during her
summer sojourn. This chapel cost
her $40, 600 is attended by quite
a large congregation OF tho local Pres
byterians and is the center through
which she distributes her many beauti-
full and lavish charities. 1t was great
surprise to her, upon her husbands
death, to find herself so rich woman,
for he never talked to her about his
business, and though she knew he was
a wealthy man, she had formed no cal
culation as to the amount he was worth;
no one, indeed, not even his executors,
had credited old Taylor with more than
half dozen millions at the most, and
the surprise of the latter was great on
the appointed day when they and tho
widow went to open tho doors OF tho
particularly-solid vault which the old
man had built into the wall of his Office.
The innermost compartment was large
enough to hold certificates OF stock and
and tho like securities withoat folding.
There was great stack of these papers
lying neatly on top OF each other, un-
wrinkled and increased. They repre-
sented Taylor's investments in railroads,
banks and insurance companies, deeds
OF real estate and every sort OF sound
financial venture. The widow did not
comprehend the full meaning OF this
great pile of documents, but the execu-
tors looked at each other with pleased
Significance, and set about making an
inventory. jotting down figures on the
back Of a card, and announcing in awed
tones to the widow, when this pleasing
task was done, that she was the sole
possessor OF fortune amounting to
$40 OOo' 600. She bore it with thatmeek
and gentle resignation OF which even
the worst OF us would bo capable under
similar circumstances, and many un-
iortunates have since had reason to be
grateful that this great sum fell into
such discreet and charitable hands.
Mrs Vanderbilt is also faithful
church-goer, haTing pews in several diff
ferent churches, one OF her fayorite
places oil worship being old Trinity

Mr.. Bourland claims to have let
ter pledging the support OF Esq. Nj
d. Davie, of Beverly, a late Demo
cratic candidate for county judge and
until recently member of the Dem
ocratic County Committee. We haye
been unable to see Esq. Davie, but
put no faith in the claim that Sc
staunch and consistent Democrat as
he has been will desert his party to
support an independent candidate
In the Democratic primary election
last January Esq. Davie received
more than 700 votes and he would
surely take DO. step now to make these
supporters regret their action.

The Owensboro Messenger says:
Sometime ago the McLean County
farmers and labcrers' Uuion, in the
county meeting, adopted resolution
calling on the two candidates for con-
gress to define their respective. posi-
tons on the questions that are now
50 prominently before the farmers in
all parts of the country. MrnGhas
Noel prominent member Of the
wheel, was delegated TO write to each
of the candidates aud put to them
the questions dictated by the county
Union. a list of questions were sub
mitted to Mr.. Bourland, but he treat
ed them with silent contempt, return
ing no answer whatever. The same
questions were propounded to Hon. w.
It. Ellis, and he gave the Uuion
prompt and satisfactory answers.
This shows tho difference between
the two men. Ellis has opinions that
he is not ashamed of and is running
on platform that is in the Interest
of the whole people. If Mr.. Bour
land has any political principles ex
cept desire for Office he has no
made them known, although calle,

Mr.. Bourland is confronted with 9
very serious charge in Hopkins coun-

violator of the prohibition law of that

for the prohibition law and then him
self violated it was published in the

1t was shown by the affidavit OF Sam

first batsmen were disposed OF for next to

stand. The batting Of Mr.. White was
really very pretty. After a fine display Of

still Mr.. Skeoch remained steady having
been Joined by Mr.. Dubois. The hopes of
