Mrs. Gwin's Dream of Empire,

The death of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Gwiu
at San Francisco a few DAYS ago ended
the career of woman which was of as
surprising an interest as that OF any
heroine OF fiction. Mrs. Gwin was S.
years of age and the widow OF Senator
William NJ. Gwin. famous ante -bellum
politician.
Mrs. Gwin was Mary Elizabeth Hamp-

she was a brilliant social leader, and was
often gratefully mentioned by Adelina
Patti as having been one of the first to
recognize her genius and introduce her
to the Washington public. When the
war broke out Senator Gwin espoused the
Confederate cause In 1854 Il was sus-
pected that Mrs. Gwin was conveying In
formation and qulnne through the lines.
Al the advice of her friends and per-
haps DIR. Gwin, she went TO Paris where
her home became Confederate headquar-
ters In France.
The most remarkable part OF the Gwin
story Is that connected with their dream
OF colonizing the state of Sonora. in
Mexico. with dissatisfied southerners af-
ter the Civil war This scheme well
htted TO be almost parallel to Aaron
Burr's wild dreams of empire, was
thought out In Paris In the years lss4-S5.

him with troops, etc, when the empire
