\ SHOCKING TRAGEDY.
. Minnesota Mothers Terrible Crime.

a Minnesota Mothers Terrible Crime.
\ Farlbault, Mimi, special says: One
of the most shocking tragedies which
has ever occurred in this county took
place Wednesday morning ut the res
ilence OF James Mcneil, jr., near
Cannon Lake. Mcneil arose about
S o'clock ard went into the kitchen
to build a fire. Mrs. Mcneil slipped out
after him and locked the door, and then
went back into the bed room and took q
revolver from the bureau drawer and shot
her three children. Mcneil heard the'shots
and tried to get to the bed room, but could
not get in. He then started around the
house and went in at the front door and met
his wife coming from the kitchen, where
she had chased the Oldest child and made
her take carbollc acid and took some her
self. The little girl evidently struggled
very hard with her mother. as her face and
hands We're covered with acid. One child
was killed Instantly and one died about 10
clock tina. morning. The little baby, 3
weeks old, was shot through both lungs,
but at last reports is still alive. The
woman and the little girl to whom she
gave the acid are also alive and may live.
Mrs. Mcneil gives as a reason for the ter
rible deed that she had been sick and had
no hope Of getting we'll, and wanted to end
her sufferipgs at once. Mrs. Mcneil is q
daughter of Edward Hollister, of Hopkins
Station, MINI. DR.. jackson, the attend
ing physician, says that unless inham-
nation of the stomach sets in the woman
and the little girl will probably live.

Frau Bismarck is famous housewife,
Her dinners have always been the best,
her home has always been model of
neatness and comfort, her children have
been most judiciously reared, and as
hostess there is none in all the empire
that can be compared with her. Expert
with the needle, famous as a cook, an
angel in the nursery and at the fireside,
skilled in all social graces and accom-
plishments, remarkable for her singular
piety, and addicted to benevolent prac-
tices and charitable deeds, this lady is
perhaps the most conspicuous example
of womanly virtue that Germany affords.
When Bismarck speaks OF "woman's
sphere" he has his wife's example in
mind, and the sphere he refers to Ii as
great and as noble as the example Is
illustrious and that wife lovable. - Chi

SHY Manners and Democratic Ways O
John w. Mackay.


SHY Manners and Democratic ways of
john w. Mackay.
The fast express from the West has
just rolled into the Grand Central depot.
There is the usual hurry and hustle and
the wild shouts of the cabmen. One of
the passengers who alights, takes his
vaIse and umbrella in his hand, and goes
along in business like way, is one of
the wealthiest me in the world. 1t is
John w. Mackay, the famous bonanza
king. He has just returned from trip
across the continent and nm inspection of
some of the mines he ia interested in.
He is refreshing sight in these days, Tor
he is millionaire who shuns notoriety.
His fellow passengers never dreamed
" no the quiet unassuming man was who
sat In corner of the car with his head
buried in a newspaper,hour after hour.
When he reached the depot he made
no fuss, but quietly took up his baggage
and hurried away to his hotel. He did
not even take the precaution TO telegraph
in advance for an elaborate suite of rooms.
He went to the hotel where he usually
stops, was assigned to s. a day room
on the Broadway side of the house, and
in few moments was in the large dining
room enjoying a no more expensive
dinner than the average drummer.
He Is as shy as a school girl, makes no
pretense Of wealth, keeps his own coun-
sci, steers clear of reporters. and was
never known to give an interview for
publication. He never answers any of
the thousand begging letters that come
to him in the course Of 3 month, pays no
attention to what his neighbors are do
ing, but rather minds hisuwn business
unique proceeding in this day. How
much money he is worth is still q topic
Of speculation. His fortune is placed
anywhere from $50, 600, 900 TO 5000, ,OO0,-
000 Perhaps the first sum is nearer the
truth. But nobody will ever know until
he dies He has no confidants. He is
really the last of the Big Four who ruled
the mines of the West for so many years.
It may be just as well right here to say
that there is one topic on which Mr..
Mackay talks to his most intimate friends.
That is his wife. He is as much in love
with her to-day as ever. There is moth
ing that delights him quite SO much as
to real of her social success abroad. That
she should have conquered even among
queens in the Old World is no small
feather in the cap of one who was once
a washerwoman in mining camp. Mr..
Mackay is proud of her, but he laughs at
tie newspaper reports Of the ridiculously
large sums she is supposed to squander
on her entertainments abroad. And well
he may, for, while Mrs. Mackay enter
tains lavishly, she is not extravagant. 1t
is not unlikely that she may visit this
country during the summer.-[ Augusta

Going Esop one better.

In crowded street car well dressed

tleman. The poor workingman and
the richly dressed fop both saw the

lifted his silk hat with his gloved hand
and politely requested the woman TO
take his seat. This fable teaches that a
