tives of one of the principals. 1t is only
necessary to recapilulate young Mr.. Fairs
standing.
Charles Lewis Fair is the second son of
ex-senator James G. Fair of Nevada, the
well-known millionaire.
Charles l.. Fair, to the sorrow Of his
parents, proved wild. He early con-
tracted habits of intemperance. and in
spite of all his fathers care continued his
dissipated course. At one time Mr.. Fair
placed him at Dwights and on another
occasion at Los Gatos to undergo the So
called ''gold cure" but without permanent
avail. The young man inevitably relapsed
into his dissipated courses. At one time
he was sent on tour through Europe, but
he was accompanied by several boon COM
panions, one of whom was the woman who
is now his wife. and he returned little
benefited by the change.
The young mans financial standing and
prospects were unusually good. He re-
ceived an income of $1,000 month and was
understood to stand an excellent chance OF
inheriling share of his fathers millions.
When his mother died a few years
ago she left an estate valued at upward OF
81. .000,0 900. and of this S500,000 went to the
elder son and like sum to Charles. The
elder boy succumbed to heart disease about
one year ago and his share reverted to
Charles. This million will become due
when the young man reaches the age of 80,
or in about three years time.
The latest expedient for keeping his son
out of mischief was for ex-senator Fair to
send him East with valuable string OF
horses. There he entered for many big
races, but his fortune was bad and it was
said that owing to lax management and
constant dissipation the Fair racing stable
rapidly deprecated. Mr.. Fair had de-
puted Gus Sheehy, a Quas-fTiend OF his
son, TO look after him. bnt his influence, II
any, was not strong enough to change the
young mans inveterate habits.
Recently Mr.. Fair had reason to believe
that Maud Nelson was trying to inveigle
his son into marriage. and the ex-senator
is said to have taken legal steps to tie up
his sons property. so that it cannot be

WHAT THE FATHER SAID.

When ex-senator Fair was divorced
from his wife she kept the two daughters
and he the two boys. The elder boy.
James, who died a year ago, wss said to
have been his fathers favorite, but all his
affection after the loss of his first born
seemed to have been given 70 the
younger. His care of Charles and con-
slant endeavors to reform him have long
been matters of public notoriety.
When the ex-senator was informed yes
terday of the step taken by his son, he
Immediately asked tie woman's name.
He was told the name was Caroline d.
Smith.

the ex-senator. Now, if you told me it
was Maud Nelson. l should not be sur

"But what would be the good of my dis

him all the time; and whenever he got

SOMETHING OF THE BRIDE.

Maud Nelson is the name by which
Charles l.. Fairs wife has always been
known in the city, and that was the name
she used in the East before she came here,
six or seven years ago. She is a handsome
blonde, with rather too much embonpoint
to be graceful, but with classical, regular
features. She is perhaps 80 years OF age.
or even more. although the marriage
license says 27.
When Miss Nelson or Smith first came
to this city from Chicago she was even
handsomer than she is at present. She
was smart woman, too, one who knew
how TO talk and how to dress. Conse-
quently she became very we'll known in
the half-world, and at various times the
names of several very prominent men in
this city were connected with hers.
Soon after she became proprietress of
a clearinghouse on Stockton street
Charlie Fair became smitteD with her, and
together they journeyed to Europe, spend
ing several months in London and on the
Continent Gus Sheehy, young Fairs
friend, was with them. After his return
Fair took the Keeley cure and for a time
touched nothing of an intoxicating nature.
He was pointed out to every body as won
derful example of the efficacy of the treat
ment. Although he spent the greater
portion of his time in saloons with people
who were constantly drinking he remained
strictly sober.
Then he relapsed into his old habits. and
there are people who say Miss Nelson,
alias Smith. was responsible for it. At
any rate, they went East together last
summer, and were seen in each other S
company on all of the principal race
tracks. His horses were disappointment,
and it was matter of common gossip that
he devoted so much of his time to Miss
Nelson that the horses got along as best
they could.
Since returning to the city Charles L.
Fair has been with the woman most of the
time. Rumors of his approaching mar
riage to her were frequent and common.
but, outside of their circle of intimate
friends, could not be verified.
Last week the woman disposed of her
establishment, and it Is on the programme
that the newly married couple will start
for the East and Europe on Monday night.

The Poor Robbed.

Some unknown persons broke open and
robbed the poor-boxes of the Yglesia de
Nuestra Sonora de Guadalupe. on Broad
way. near Mason street, yesterday.
Rev. A. M. Santandreu, the rector OF the
church, was greatly incensed at the rob-
berry.
".There was nothing to gain by so bold
faced conduct" he said to a reporter.
"The principal loss was the repairing of
the broken boxes. which cost 50 so. There
could not have been more than fifty cents
in the boxes when they were pried open,
for on week days contributions are always
small; but would like to find the loafers
who desecrated my church, and l would
have them punished to the full extent oi
