lr would appear from the simple
statement of facts that there was
Z little contest for places on the state
ticket, at Boise, most of the nomi-
naCions having been made by ac-
clamation. Such, however, was
not the csse. There was the keen
est kind of rivalry, especially for
governor and congressman. Ex-
Governor Mcconnell pressed Hon.
John t. Morrison hard for the
nomination for congress and was
in the race until 80 minutes before
the nomination was made, but
finding he was beaten, pulled out
OF the race. For governor, also,
the fight was close between Ramsey
and Standrod, and the friends of
each worked night and day, but
Standrod won out and Ramsey
pulled out, just before the con.
vention assem- bled. 1t was
friendly fight in each case, and no
sore spots are left.

The writer hereof was a delegate
TO the Republican state convention.
He was former silver republican
and desires to state that as such he
found himself very much at home
in the Boise convention. In the
convention were 40 former silver
republicans as delegates, while there
were only 50 silver repu bican del
egates at Pocatello-but three more
than at Boise, with this difference
that the credentials of at least
h llf the delegates to Pocatello were
bogus, having been elected in many

For the first time in many years
Kootenai county had harmonious
delegation to the Republican state
convention. OF the II delegates
selected by the county convention,
9 were present in person, and the
three proxies were held by persons
from the county other than the
regular delegates, so that Kootenai
had II representatives On the floor.
Mr.. Hoffman was chairman of the
convention; J. F. Yost, chairman
of the delegation and member of
the committee on platform; w. A.
Hart was selected on the committee
on permanent organization; An
drew Christensen on credentials;
and 5. d. Taylor member Of the
new state central committee.

KooTENAI COUNTY had the honor
of furnishing the permanent chair
man of the state convention at
Boise. And in passing, it is but
simple justice to note that Hon
G. l.. Hoffman was one of the most
influential men in that COZ vention,
convention that probably con-
tanned more brains, ability and
responsibility than any like
body that ever assembled in
Idaho. Not only was Mr. Hoffman
fine presiding officer but his coun-
sci was sought on all important
matters, and his leadership was de-
sired as chairman of the new state
GENITAL committee, which position
he was forced to decline, owing to
the sacrifice it would be to his ex-
tensive law practice, as he would
be compelled to reside in Boise, at
least during the campaign. The
delegates from Kootenai were
proud of their leader.

again in the panic which followed the Cooke failure in 1873. l formed partnership with John P. Bell in Philadelphia after that, and the express terms of our agreement were that the firm should not speculate for it. self. We made good deal of our money out of the spectators instead of speculat- ing ourselvs. A good portion of it, how ever, we made in business, tradinf for bus mess men.
 I have been asked how made my money If didn't speculate.
 I didn't begin life as the typical barefoot boy on the towpath. I had some money when I started-not a great deal but some. I began as note broker in the days when Philadelphia merchants used to receive from their customers for goods they sold.

The Impossible

Justin Mccarthy in Chambers Journal.
 My late friend, Richard Power-or, as he was more commonly called in the House of Commons, "Dick" Power-was one of the wittiest and most popular men of his time. He was one of our band of Irish National ists members, but he was liked as much by English. Scotch and Welch members as by his own countrymen, and that is saying a great deal. He rode splendidly to hounds --Parnell and he had the reputation of be- ing the two boldest riders in Ireland, and although he was not fond of making speeches, he could make a capital speech whenever it became necessary to take part in debate. When speaking one evening at a public dinner, he made allusion to Thackeray's famous saying about the bril- liant repartees that one makes when driv- ing home alone at night in ones handsom cab. Then he went on to say: "I can assure this assembly that not Pitt, nor Fox, nor Bright nor Glads tone has ever made such eloquent speeches in the House of Com mons as some which I have not made thAge.'

In appearance she is very prepossessing, tall and with a fine figure.
 Hetty Green, the richest woman in the United States, though over sixty years of age, is as spry as a young girl. In fact, her vitality counts in a measure for her success in handling her vast properties. Of Quaker stock, she was born in Rhode Island. Her s5O,OO0,OO0, more or less, was largely inherited, although by her own shrewd methods she added much to 1t.
 She believes now, and has for years, in fact, that she is being robbed. If it's not a suit against the executors of Will, It's an action against some big railroad company She seems to be fond of litigation, which must cost her an enormous sum every year. son and daughter will inherit her mon ey. Her husband Is never much in eVl- denee, as he is sort of invalid, ana hkes the retirement of an easy chair and some thing to read.
 For years Mrs Green has attired herself in a plainly made black dress and faded bonnet to match. Thus armed she couIu go to trust company, draw $l,OOOOOO Tn 10000 bills and carry 1t in an old satchel without the slightest fear of being robbed.
 Her daughter, Sylvia, is good-looking young woman with great deal of common sense. She has been courted great deal by ambitious young men, but has cared TOT none of them. Mrs. Green some time ago announced that the successful man must De poor put honest, ana as a result aDOut 800 applications for preferment were re- ceived by her. It is needless to add that none of them received any encouragement to speak of.
 Hetty Green lives so simply and does so many queer things that she is now regard ed as eccentric. She washes her handker- chiefs and makes a cup of tea over the gas if she likes, and above all, hates to te stared at Her meals are taken at some dairy restaurant, and she never goes to any place of amusement. Her life Is one long business entanglement apparently, and if her great wealth brings her happiness she doesn't seem to show it.
 The talented young woman of this sex tette Is Miss Rockefeller, who is a brilliant musician. She can play anything from an accordion to a piano, but the harp is her favorte. Miss Rockefeller has recently en- tered society but she doesn't let her fond ness for the gay world interfere with her Christian duties, and with all of her many engagements finds time for great deal of church work

 The man who worries over his work can't succeed.
 The successful man must take his work easy.
 If he worries, he will break down and be forced to retire.

 have had several hobbies in my time nonsenical or otherwise.
 Just now 1t Is pictures. When I was younger 1t was raising fish, and had a complete hatchery fitted up in my house.
 1 repeat I am all through with specula- tion, although 1t must have been born in me, for the first business deal ever made was a speculation pure and simple.
 It was when I was boy at home. There was an auction store in the town and used to go there sometimes and listen to the auctioneer One day I noticed lot or soap It was the same kind of soap we used at home and we bought 1t from a grocer around the corner. It occurred to me that I might be able to make some money out of that soap. 1 wen. around to the grocer and asked him how much he paid for that kind of soap. He told me nine cents a pound. l asked him if he would buy some from me for eight, and he said he would. So 1 hung around the auction room until the soap was put up. There was considerable bidding, and I finally bought the lot of it for six cents a pound. After they had asked my name and l had sung out with my boylsh voice, was very much frightened I ran around the corner and, all out of breath, recalled the promise to buy at eight cents to the grocer. He stuck to the bargain, and I delivered the soap over to him without holding it myself and pocketed the profits just the same as the speculator in stocks.
 But that was many years ago. nave made the bulk of my fortune out of street railways, as I suppose everybody knows. It is a business I have been in nearly all of of the few things I understand I had my frs interest in 1860 and have had holdings in them almost ever since.
 When I start out on plan of action l usually continue 1t.
 I like my work.
 When l consider a proposition now, 1t is not to figure out how much money there IS to be made in it, but whether or not there is a possibility of a loss, and whether 1t IS a good thing to do.
 1 do not care much about making money, but I admit do not like to lose any. don't lose very often.
 I figure things out carefully before I go in and keep at 1t until it pays. l see my name mentioned frequently in connection

was Goyenechea. For generations not only her family, but that of her husband had owned vast tracts of land. In her father S lifetime, even, the fortunes of the two lat- ter had increased enormously in value. | Mines were developed upon their property, and wealth flowed in upon them. When her father died, Sonora Couslno then, as her fathers only child, inherited all his wealth. Her husband died a short time afterwards, and with two great es- tates to manage, Sonora Cousino became . business woman. She did wonderfully we'll with her property, and maintains three es- tablishments at Santiago, Macul and Lota. The first is her town house and the two latter are country estates
 Sonora Cousino lives and spends her mon- ey without regard to public opinion, which, however, is not supposed to be censorio2s in Chilli, especially to one so generous She would think little of giving away a million to anyone she might fancy.
 She Is fond of bright young men, and has always about her a small court of clev- CT youngsters. When the American fleet was at Valparaiso some years ago she in- vited Admiral Upshur and his officers to visit her. She sent special train for them. They had a royal time, and the whole city was at theeir disposal. They could pay for nothing In shops and restaurants and the theaters were thrown open to them. Car riages and horses too, were likewise free; the Sonora paid the bill.
 Her houses are finer than anyy palaces anywhere, and she is really queen with out assuming to be one Her coal lands alone pay her $80, 900 a month, or nearly million year.
 Miss Helen Gould possesses a fortune which is so large that she is unable to ftg- ure how large it is. She lives In solemn grandeur in magnificent house on Fifth avenue, In New York. The residence Is magpifcently furnished, and a big conser- vatory is one of the features. An army of and French chef looks out for toothsome dainties for Miss Gould. The money she possesses was made in the railroad busi- ness
 Miss Gould is a student and a business woman-as well, strange as this may seem. She is fond of clever persons and the re- captions she and her youngest brother, Frank, give are features of Gotham society. She is a Greek and Latin scholar versed in law and a skilful hand at embroidery
 Charity is with her almost hobby, and a large part of her great income Is devoted to charitable work and to the alleviation of the woes of the unfortunate.
 Few Americans living abroad are as pop ular as the beautiful Mrs George Law, who makes her home in Paris, Nice and London, according to the social seasons. She possesses indisputably more money Tn her own right than any woman in French society. Her house in Paris is a marvel in elegance, and is the scene of many lavish entertainments. Every day is a gala one with her, and every notable person In the country worth knowing has been her guest. She is a great patron of the arts, and has brought many struggling artist or writer to the front.
