THE WIDENER RESIDENCE.

thropic plans which he and Mrs. Widen
er had many times talked over Another
reason which probably prompted him to
make public his intended benefactions
is the fact that he has political ambi-
tions. Mr.. Widener aspires to be the
Republican candidate for governor Of
Pennsylvania at the next election. His
canvass has already begun, in fact, for
some OF his friends are distributing
campaign buttons of solid gold, which,
it is said, cost So apiece. How many
have been made | do not know, but |
imagine they will not be quite so COM
mon as the ordinary campaign button.
There should be little doubt but that
Mr. Widcncr will henceforth be rcck-
oned as one Of phiIalelphia's greatest
bcncfactors, for his gifts are almost un-
rarallecd III generosity. The mansion
which he is to give up as q home for a
memorial branch Of the free public
library is one Of the finest houses in
Philadelphia and is probably worth
5000, COO. 1t has frontage ef- .i53 feet
on North Broad street and extends along
Girard aycnu" for distance of 1I4
feet. Externally it is an imposing and
stately structure, but from within these
characteristics are still more marked
Thcrc are no more than 20 rooms on all
Of the fUur floors, Lut those are i'm
mcrSr at least for Il city house The
largest is tie banquet hail, which is ly
far the largest to be tUnnd in any pri-

That Mr.. Midcncr intends to devote
much Of his time Us well as money to
furthoring the public interests Of his
native city is shown by the fact that he
has accepted the post of president Of
the Philadelphia Exposition association

WAS A BUTCHER BOY.
NOW p. A. 3. WIDENER IS ABLE TO
GIVE AWAY MILLIONS.

The Philadelphia Traction Magnate Gives
HE PalstiaI Home For . Free Library
A. . Memorial to His Dead Wife-Other
Donations In Prospect.
A million and half dollars in
lump sum is big sum to be given to o
city by private citizen, but this is the
aggregate of the projected donations OF
Peter A. B. Widener to Philadelphia.
The man who is distributing public
benefactions with such princely hand
began life in that city less than 40
years ago as a small salaried assistant
in the shop of a mutton butcher. He
had genius for making money, how
ever. He knew how to save his pennies
and invest his dollars From a small
beginning he built up working capi-
tai, doubled this many times in various
enterprises, and finally became one OF
the founders Of that great traction syn
dicate which has gained control Of the
street car business in several Of the
largest cities in the country. Today
Mr.. Widener is still known as trac-
tion magnate, but for several years he
has been practically out Of the active
management Of the syndicate, having
been replaced by his son, George d.
Widener.
MIR. Widener is now a multimillion-
aire Of 64 years, with enough leisure on
his hands to devote considerable time
to the spending Of some Of his surplus
dollars. Even in the later days of his
business activity he seemed to enjo the
good things of life to their full meas
ure. He built for himself the magniti-
cent city residence which he is to turn
over to tho city as free public library.
He filled it with fine paintings and rare
and valuable objects Of art. He had
built for him 200 foot steel yacht
which is veritable floating palace. He
made ono Of the notable art collections
of this country, and he entertained on a
lavish scale.
Two years ago his wife, Mrs. Joseph
inc Widener, died. She was found dead
in her stateroom on the new yacht while
off Bar Harbor on summer cruise, bav-
ing been stricken by heart failure Since
then Mr.. Widener has been contemplate

A Chinese Bride.

On the day following Chinese we'd
ding, at least in certain provinces, tho
brides youngest brother goes to inquire
after her and to take present from her
mother Of a bottle of hair oil. This is
Il custom SO ancient that none knows the
origin thereof.
No further communications take place
between the bride and her family for
three months, when her mother sends a
sedan chair and an invitation to visit
her. If there has been neither birth
nor death in her husbands or in her
mother s house for 100 days, she goes
and makes short stay at her old home.
This visit over, GLe cannot see her
mother again until after her first child
is born, and not then should the child
be girl Even then, if thurc has been
a death in either family, the visit can
not ln made, and tAnrc have tcCu many
