told wealth can procure, brought to her
doors from the ports of Europe, Asia
and Africa by her own steamships.

the finest plantation in Chilli
Her vineyard ut Macul has upon it n
single cellar 500 feet long by 100 wide
which is kept constantly full of wine,
and supplies the markets of all Chill.
She has another large estate about
thirty miles from Santiago, also great
town house in that city built mostly of
red cedar brought from California. This
house is decorated by Partisan artists;
it is said, by those who have seen it, to
be finer than any residence in New
York city.
The income of Sonora Cousino is put
at s25, 100000 year, and South Amer
leans say her estate would realize not
less than 5000, 900 900. This would make
her not only the richest woman but the
richest person in the world.

Paul Bococll in the St Louis Republic,

traces her ancestry back to the days Of
the Spanish conquest. She has been a
widow for about ten years; but even
during her husbands lifetime she man
aged her own property, worth many
millions which came from her ancestral
estates.
The Cousino estate-now represent

cities of Santiago and Valparaiso, of

From her coal mines alone Sonora
COusino is said to have an income of

Ware, in lIcrtfordshire, near London.
Charles llanllin, owner of thrashing
machine with engine, made an average
of s. a day, but he let his four children
go for days without morscl of food
compelling them to beg their bread from
door to door. He would beat them with
an ash cane and raise stripes and
bruises all over their bodies, hurl them
about and against any objcct-thc
boiler, even the iircplace-and would
often lock them ont of the house over
night. The culprit was sentenced to
twenty-cight days hard labor without
the option of Il fine. But the report
does not say what, if anything, was done
for the poor childr"n.

Thomas H. Carter the Man.

NEw YORE, July l7.-After a lengthy
consideration Of the merits Of the various
persons suggested for the position. Thos. H.
Carter, Of Montana, was on Saturday made
chairman Of the Republican National
Committee, TO serve instead of ". J..
Campbell, ofIllinois, resigned. The meeting
was held in the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
although the informal selection Of Mr..
Carter was made while the members of the
Executive Committee were at lunch.
Mr.. Carter was one Of the i've persons
originally suggested for the place by Pres
ident Harrison, but he al the time declin d
to serve. Although but thirty-eight years
old, M Carter mas had an exceptionally
brilliant career. He is lawyer of marked
ability and has twice represented his district
in Congress. He was selected as secretary Of
the National Committee a very responsible
position at the time Of the election of Mr.
Clarkson to the Craftsmanship. At present
he is Commissioner of the General Land
Office at Washington, but this position he
will Immediately resign.
The Executive Committee appointed a
Temporary secretary in Mr.. Carier's place,
but LEFT him the privilege Of selecting
permanent one at his leisure. It's believed
tba: either McComas, of Maryland, C. L.
Msgee, Of Pittsburg, or William O'BTadley,
Of Kentucky, VIII be given the position.

WASHINGTON, May l7.-As the first
session Of the Fifty-second congress draws
to an end feyerish haste and activity begin
to characterize the proceedings, and this
may naturally be expected 10 wax warmer
and iercer as the week runs on. In both
houses everything must give way to the
appropriation bills, for the word has game
out that the sess ion will end as soon as
these are disposed of, and everybody is
anxious to get away from the capitol. The
common expectation is that the session will
end next Saturday, or the following Monday,

one of these is already in The conference
stage, and the Others viii reach it before the
middle of the week. The points Of difference
are more numerous than broad in the case

Honest Money.

The President is now engaged in endeavoI-
ing to bring about monetary conference
among the great commercial nations of the
world, with q view Of reaching. if possible,
some agreement regarding the freer use Of
silver, and corrected ratio between it and
gold.
He says on the subject of honest money:
Il am one of those that believe that these
men from your shops, these farmers remote
from money centers, have the largest interest
OF all the people in the world in having a
dollar that is worth one hundred cents every
day in the year, and only such II by any
chance We should fall into condition where
one dollar is not so good as another ven
ture the assertion that the poorer dollar will
do its first errand in paying some poor labor
er for his work. Therefore, in the conduct OF
our public affairs, feel pledged, for one,
that all the influences Of the government
should be on the side of giving the people
only good money and just as much of that
kind as We can get" President Harrisoa's s
Platform
