Miss Mills, when not 1t school or

first in Sacramento and afterwaxd at
Mlllbrae. The latter was then tho

on the Pacific coast. It comprised tho

Reds successful absorption in his pro-

him heart free. Possibly he had vowed,
with Benedick, that It'll all graces be
in one woman, one woman shall not
come in my grace" The event has
proved that he at last chose one most
happily adapted to his own temper and
career. He had gained prominence
so enviable that any woman
could take pride in sharing his
future. He had risen. through
sheer ability and work, to be the chief
of the powerful and historic Tribune;

Mrs. Reid, formerly Miss Elizabeth
Mills, was born in the city Of New York,
January 6, 1858. and her early life was
divided between the residence of her
grandfather, Mr. James Cunningham,
at Irvington on the Hudson, and those
of her father, Mr. D. 0. Mills, in Sacra-
mento, Cal, and at his country place,
s'Millbrae," seventeen miles south OF
San Francisco. Her grandfather, Mr..
Cunningham, says Harper's Weekly,
was well-known ship-owrer and ship
builder of that day. At the time of her
birth he had largely retired from bust
ness, but was still the owner of many
vessels, one of them being the famous
steamboat The Senator, which was the
first of its kind sent around the Horn to
navigate the Sacramento river after the
discovery of gold.
Miss Mills early training was intrust-
ed to governesses in the family. When
she finally was sent to school, it was in
daughter of her fathers only sister, Mrs.
Easton. This cousin subsequently be-
came the wife Of Col Charles r.
Croker, the first vice president OF the
Central and Southern Pacific railways.
For time Miss Mills was placed in the
school of Nile. Vallette, In Paris. She
afterwards completed the course Of
study in Miss Brackets school in New
York, where she was favorite pupil
of that earnest and distinguished
teacher.
