THREE ESTABLISHMENTS.
Sonora Cousino maintains three
splendid ablishments-at Santi-
ago, Macul and Lota The first is
her town house and the latter two
are surrounded by vast estates.
Sonora Cousino lives and spends
her money without much regard to
public opinion, which, however, is
not inclined to be censorious in Chill,
especially to one so generous. She
presented park of a hundred acres
| and a race course to the city of
Santiago, and would think little of
making a present of similar value
! to a private person.
She is very fond of bright, happy
young men. She always surrounds
| herself with a crowd of them, some
] times entertaining as many as thirty
or forty at time. To those who
! please her, according to the report
! of an American who visited her at
! Santiago, she gives all the money
/ they can spend.
When the American fleet was at
Valparaiso some years ago. she in
vited Admiral Upshur and all his
| officers to visit her at Macul and at
Santiago. About twenty of them ac-
| cepted. She sent a special train to
fetch them. They had little or no
knowledge of her, and when they
! met her were somewhat beWildered
by their reception.
The whole city of Santiago was at
/ their disposal. They could pay for
! nothing in shops and restaurants
/ and theaters. Sonora Cousino had
| sent orders to the tradespeople that
everything should be charged to her.
| Carriages and horses in unlimited
numbers were supplied to them.
Never before had they 50 fully
| realized that familiar expression,
Owning the town" Some Ameri-
cans who did not happen to be young
naval officers characterized the af-
fair as an orgie, but that may have
been envy The polite Spaniard,
when you admire anything that is
his, always remarks that il is "at
your disposal" but when the sonora
used the expression of the city of
Santiag 90 she meant it
FLEET OF STEAMSHIPS.
Sonora Cousino was always addict
ed TO this wholesale hospitality
Many well-known Europeans, as well
as Americans, have enjoyed it or
been overwhelmed by it, as the case
may have been. Lady Brassey, in
her journal Of her voyage around
/ the world in the Sunbeam, speaks of
! Sonora Cousino's magnificence-
She fitted out one Of her fleet of
| ocean steamships with all possible
luxury and invited a party of fifty
men and women to make trip with
| her. She took an orchestra, enough
| champagne TO make a little river,
and everything else III proportion.
The ship first visited Juan Fer
nandez, the island where the original
Robinson Crusoe was cast away.
Then the voyage was continued
down the coast as far as Terra del
Fuego, where the party was landed
in a most charming locality.
There a stay of several days was
made, and the sonora employed all
TO make her friends merry. The
/ freedom from restraint, distance
from civilization and abundance of

good cheer co-operated in the most
effective manner, and il is safe to
say that the storytelling personages
Of the Decameron did not find one
another's society more congenial
than did Sonora Cousino's guests.
Sonora Cousino buys whatever she
wants. Diamonds are among the
things that she is in the habit of
wanting. She has an enormously
valuable collection Of them, and
sometimes appears loaded down with
them. Usually, however, her dress
is simple, and, although she has
fine dresses, she seldom wears them.
It has been a matter Of wonder
that she did not remarry The ex-
PLANTATION may be that no one had the
courage to ask her. a more likely
one is that she had no need of a
husband

both clever and attractive, have

The town house at Santiago at
he off
handsome marble building of great ex-
tent in the heart of the city. Il is only
two stories in height and is built
around large courtyard. It was fur
nlshed and decorated in a luxurious
manner by Partisan house which
was authorized to employ the best art
lists and, OF course, to spend unlimited
money The portieres alone are said
10 have cost $3.50. 900. The house con-
talns fine picture gallery. which is one
Of the show places Of Santiago.
Macul is the most ma gnifieent Of her
country estates. 1t stretches from The
boundaries Of Santiago into the Cor
dilleras, whose peaks are covered with
snow perpetually. Thus her guests
may enjoy every variety OF climate
without leaving her property.
Many hundreds of men are enl1jlova0
here, the mansion and its immediate
surroundings requiring the care OF
about eighty. The vineyards Of Macul
supply wine to a large part Of the
Gillian population.
In addition TO the great quantity of
cattle kept ca the estate for general
agricultural and commercial purposes,
she has a stock farm and a large
stable of thoroughbred English horses.
Her husband began the work OF i'm
porting blooded stock from England
and carried it On at great expense anu
with some success.
His widow appears to have been evef.
more fortunate. She not only sells
large numbers of fine horses and cattle
but has had much success on the race

The BIenheim Spaniel Is an Ex-
pensive Little Midget Beloved
by the Fair.
The dog considered most desirable as
a pet for q woman Is at present the
Blenheim spaniel a tiny ten-pound
midget, with long fluffy ears and paws
fringed with white. He is ali lemon
and white, and much prettier than the
black and tan varieties Of his family.
He is worth all the way from S125 to
$500 to the man who raised him. The
Japanese spaniel was a favorite this
winter, and would be still if he could
be persuaded to live long enough, but
the climate or the food or something
in this country disagrees with him, and
his owner seldom has the pleasure of
his society longer than two or three
months. This little foreigner is small
er, if anything, than his English cous-
in, and is all black and white. and has
a supreme advantage over the King
Charles, the Prince Charles, and the
rest OF them in the matter Of his tail
which is beautiful and long, and cuTls
over his back.
The closer a japanese spaniel's tail
clings to his back the better the pe6i-
gree" said the dog fancier, stroking
one of these pets approVingly. He
eats only fish and rice in his own coun-
try, and some people think that it is
because his food is not prepared to
suit him that he cannot live here. Be
that as il may, l have known a num-
Der of people to use the greatest care
in looking after his welfare. only TO
meet with disappointment in the end.
Perhaps some lucky fellow may be able
to hit on a specific for keeping him
alive, after while, and then he will
make a fortune. l sold a Blenheim to
a woman last week who would have
been glad TO pay q higher price for
japanese if l could have guaranteed
that he would stay with her over three
months"

A MOVING WALL OF WATER.

A Phep omennl Tidal Wave Strikes the
Southern Shore of Lake Superior.
From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
Water rose four feet above high-water
mark all along the southern shore of Lake
Superior yesterday. doing considerable dam
age and rendering some Of the beach wagon
roads impossible. 1t came quickly, like a
tidal wave, and caught several teams and
drivers along the Chequamegon bay beach
road, and it was with difficulty that the
teams reached higher ground.
The current was so strong that telephone
poles were pulled from their places four feet
in the earth. Logging booms were broken
and legs flcated far up on the ground.
At Washburn the c., st. p, NJ and O. rail-
read elevator sustained considerable dam
age. Water flowed into the wheat pit and
also entered the furnace, putting out the
fires.
The water receded nearly as quickly as it
came up, falling to the usual level again in
about an hour. The cause of the phenome-
ron is still question of conjecture.
N. E. SearleS, one OF those caught with a
team by the wave, says:
THE bay was perfectly calm. 1t had been
raining during the greater part of the day.
The wind was in the east, just moderate
breeze. We were driving along the turnpike
known as the Ashland-Washburn road,
when one of the men said: See that wall of
water
'tOut in the bay we saw big wall of water
extending right across the bay approaching.
1t looked like dam that had broken. We
stopped the team and watched 1t until it
reached the shore. Before we could antici-
pate the whole road was lifted up. 1t was a
corduroy turnpike, and the water rushed
right over. The next thing we knew the
water was up into our wagon box and our
horses were down. We got out, and for two
hours We had hard struggle to save our
horses from drowning. A good share of the
time the water was up to our armpits. In
about an hour the water had subsidized a
couple of feet and we were able to get out"
At Ashland and WaShburn the flood was
noticeable. Water came clear into the fire
holes at the Keystone Lumber Company's
mill. While tides are not unusual In Che
quamegon bay, in fact there are two tides
of from six to twelve inches per day, such a
height of water has never been known at
any previous time.
