in the army was cut short by fortu-
nate marriage with the daughter Of
Major Deere. He inherited from the
major the fine estate on which he lived
for almost a century, and on which
he died. Mrs. Salmon died at the age
Of Is years in 1858.
Until short time before his death
the patriarch Of Penllyn court was we'll
in health. He ate we'll, slept we'll and
felt hale and hearty" He rose at
noon, dined at 6, and retired at 9. He
used tobacco until he was so, and then
gave it up. But he never gave up his
port. of which he drank two glasses
daily. He was compelled to abandon
his drives over his beautiful estate in
his Tooth year. On his last birthday
he received congratulations from Mr..
Gladstone, who expressed sincere
wishes for him here and hereafter.
DR.. Salmon outlived all his contem-
poraries. His old friends. who knew
him intimately, all passed away long,
long ago. His children. with the ex-
ception of one daughter, are all dead,
although he left many grandchildren
who, to him, seemed to belong to an
other world. Up to the last DIR. Sal

sight was bad, but his hearing was
only slightly affected. His memory
was clear in ancient matters, but poor

Marion Mckeever. OF New York. Her
cast of features Is essentially Ameri-
can. She Is tall and dark. and she
brushes her soft hair of from her white
brow. The modelling OF her figure Is
suave and beautiful; her carriage grace
full. She made her debut last winter
at the first Patriarch ball. When she
entered the ball room she was the cyno-
sure Of all eyes. She was exquisitely
gowned. and from that night she has
been great belle, and she is considered
one of the handsomest women who have
ever made their debut in America.
Miss Mekeever is daughter OF Chaun-
cey Mckeever, a prominent club man
In New York. Her brother married
last winter the charming daughter Of
the eminent DIR. Draper.
