a demonstration in favor OF the old form

SIX years sfterward IN 1886, Wilcox

killed was Charles l.. Carter. who had

ever have brought Mr.. Rogers up all
standing.
The prospective president OF the Ana
conda Copper Mining Company is now 81
years old He does not look to be past 10.
He is well preserved stalwart, and his
bearing is like that of man trained in
military school. While he is courteous
and affable in his social relations, he is
hard taskmaster and a bitter and relent-
less foe. There is lot of bulldog in the
man; he is fearless. combative. energetic
and tireless. He also is stubborn; once
convinced. he is Interchangeable.
Mr.. Rogers has been married twice. His
first wife, by whom he has three daugh-
tiers and son, was Abbie It. Clifford. of
Fairhaven Conn. She died In 1898. On
June 4, 1896, Mr.. Rogers. then SO years old,
married Emelle Augusta Randel, daugh-
ter of a diamond merchant in New York.
She was then As, and IL was her second
venture in the matrimonial way. Her
first had been unhappy, and she had been
divorced from her first husband Lucius
r. Hart, a metal broker, only short
time when she accepted Mr.. Rogers.
The Rogers town house is on Fifth ave-
nue.. New York, corner of Fifty-eighth
street. The country house IS at Fairha-
ven. and is one of the show places of New
England. Mr.. Rogers has spent more
than 100000 in identifying the place,
and he has spent almost as much more
for the benefit of the town that was his
home when he was a poor boy. He paid
for new town hall, founded a library,
built a fine schoolhouse and was instru-
mental in securing the place a pure water
supply and good sewerage. A church
which cost $4,000 stands in the prettiest
part of the town, memorial to his first
wife. An enthusiastic wheelman, Mr..
Rogers caused himself to be elected SUI
