 "No," replied the magnate thus ad- dressed, ''l kin do nothin. No one hero gives passes 'cept the boss. Youn have to wait until he comes in"
 At this juncture one of the clerks re Cosnizcd the caller al Senator Hoar and offered his services.
 "l wish to ascertain" said the Senator 'to whom l owe the price of a meal for which l forgot to pay yesterday, when l left the dining car at Worcester. Somn one had to pay for what I ate and I want to reimburse him."
 "Oh, that's all right, Mr. Hoar." re. turned the clerk T guess We need not bother about that matter"
 'No, it isn't all right and we will bother about it" replied the senator And he made the clerk search the office re- cords with the result that the name of the waiter responsible for the collection of the check was duly ascertalned. Then with as much evid a1t satisfaction as though he had succeeded in getting an importans bill through Congress, the Senator paid the clerk $1.50, to be credited to the walter

STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE.
Stratton's Bank Account .

Brooklyn Eagle.
 Winfield Scott Stratton, who made mil lions through his lucky discovery of gold at Cripple Creek on July 4, 1891, never cared to burden his memory with the de- tails of his bank account. In fact he could at no time, without reference to his clerks, make even an approximate estimate of his cash balance On day Stratton was visited by a man who want ed him to subscribe to a very worthy charity. The object for which the money was desired appealed strongly to the bo- manga king. He nodded approval and smiled as his caller dilated upon the benefits that would accrue to the peopt1 among whom the pl opposed charity was to do it's work. The subscription solicl- tor realizing that Stratton was greatly impressed, ventured to ask for tnous- and dollar check.
 Thus not enough" returned Strat- ton, without hesitation. "I'll give you d check for five times that sum, but only upon one condition"
 And what is thatT'
 "Only that have money enough in the bank to meet the check. Wait till l tel ephone.'
 In a few moments Stratton learned from his bank that he ha l a balance Of $3So, ,O00

Stratton never for got the kindness, and years afterward he returned it by presenting to Tabor s widow, who had lost her fortune, th2 profitable Watchers Mine. Because ot that gift Mrs. Tabor is now rich wo- man.
 His other benefactoT, unlike Tabor, in- voluntarily assisted him to the posses sion of millions. He was the individual who bought the Independence mine from Stratton a few days after it's discovery. He offered the prospector $1O,00O for his claim, and, after paying $10O0 to bind the bargain, became afraid that ne haJ purchased a white elephant, and de- clined to complete his contract. Stratton was not in a position to force full re- cognition of the agreement, and was re- luctantly compelled to resume possession of the Independence. Within three years that mine netted him $3,000,OOO.

ROMANCE OF AN
 AMERICAN WOMAN.
From Europe's Courts to California's Mining Camps, Mrs. Jessie Ben ton Fremont has Showed
 Herself a Queen.

Privations of the Western frontier and
 life at the courts of Europe form the two
 extremes in the romantic career of that remarka ble woman. Mrs. Jessie Benton
 Fremont. now quietly enjoying the clos
 ing years of her life in Los Angeles, Cal
 A Virginian by birth, plunged at IA into
 the brilliant society which gathered about
 her father, Senator Benton, in Washing
 ton, she eloped at 16 with the fascinat-
 ing young lieutenant John c. Fremont.
 Though she returned almost immediate
 ly to her fathers home, she aided and
 abetted the schemes and explorations
 which brought her husband such renown
 as the "Pathtinder;" shared is conquest
 of California, which meant to him not
 only political honors, but the possession
 of gold mines as well returned with him
 to Washington when California sent him
 there as her first Senator, and in the
 heydey of his prosperity and national fame queened it royalty in St. Louis in
 a little court of her own. From this she expected to return to Washington to reign as Mistress of the White House., but General Fremont was defeated by Buchanan in the presidential race, as eV- cry one knows.
 This disappointment was drowned in a foreign trip, made memorable by the high hOnOrs with which General Fremont and his wife were received at the English and European courts. where the beauty and wit of the accomplished Mrs. Ere mont made great impression. A good lnguist, and accustomed from infancy to distinguished and cosmopolitan soci- cty. she made many warm friends, among them the Empress Eugenie, with whom
 she still corresponds.
 Today she has many wonderful memo
 rics to cheer her as she spends her old age in her charming Los Angeles hom5 "a spacious two-Story cottage presented to her by the women of California. But she has more than memories, for at the advanced age of 76 Mrs. Fremont retains mach of the brillancy and beauty which has SD justly made her famous 1t is difficult to think of her as old or even

A GREAT CATTLE RANCH.
Western People Secure 6g,o00 Acres

 St. Johns County is one of the first counties in the State to lead off in the matter of raising cattle on a large scale.
 under fence and with a view of improv- ing the grade and at the same time sup plementing the food of the range with forage grown on the premises. Mir. c. W. Cook, of Quincy, H., accompanied by MT. c. W. Shinn. also of Illinois; John Yelvington, an extensive cattle own CT in the southwest part of the county, and John Hilton, who lives near Cresce1t Lake, arrived here this morning on bus mess connected with the cattle ranch they propose to start. A representative of The Record met MT. Cook and ob- tained the following interview with him:
 "I am here,'' said Mir. Cook, repre- senting a company composed of a num- Der of gentlemen living in Quincy H., including my brother, who resides at Po~ mona in Putnam County, near the tract which we have purchased, and which lies on Dunn or Crescent Lake. and reaches into Volusia, St. Johns and Putnam counties, the major part of which, how ever, is in St. Johns County. It is our purpose to go extensively into the bust- ness of raising cattle of a higher grade than those we find here on the range at present. Thus far. we have titles of 56,- 00O acres of land and have options on oth- CT lands, which. with the few small tracts which are owned by parties not yet located, amount to 5000 or 70,UOO acres There are but few persons living on the tract and we do not wish to dls- turb them in any way, or do anything that will rot be in harmony with the pep pie of this section; we wish to get along with ouc neighbors and have offered 10 purchase their homes"
 Do you intend to tCed the cattle?" was asked. "Of course. we will not depend upon the range. We intend to raise for age crops to supplement what the cattle get on the range, and to give them such care ard attention as will always keep them in condition. Because a COW can bc turned on a range in winter, and may live through it, it is no reason why sine should be obliged to do so. We propose to feed the cattle and care for them the same as we would in the North. Thcr2 it costs much more to care for cattle taan it does here: but it is the only way cattle can b. mad; to pay. While We do not expect to raise as large cattle perhaps. as some grown on some of the Western ranges, we expect to raise as good beef. At present there are about, | judge, 4,O00 or 1000 cattle on the range, and we are informed that the range IS by no means exhausted"

Resented the Imputation.

Sir William Mulock, Postmaster Gen eral of Canada, was recently walking along the Strand in company with q Lon doner who was dilating upon the grow ing fondness of the mother country for her colonies, especially Canada Sir Will liam laughed.
 ''Let us ask the first three persons we meet" he suggested, If they know any thing about Canada"
 The first man accosted knew that Can ada was "a colony across the Atlantic, '' but thought it was not quite so large as the British islands. As to its popula- ton, he knew absolutely nothing. srhe second d laborer, had never even heard of Canada. The third individual ap- preached was flower girl, who appear ed as though she might have passed through a board school. To her the Can adian Minister addressed himself thus;
 My good girl, are you at all familiar with Canada?"
 Familiar with who?" she snapped. You go on about your business, or I'll smack your nasty face"
 Sir Williams companion admitted that the case against him had been fairly well established.

MILLIoN-DoLLAR ORCHARD.
Syndicate Formed to Plant 5000 ! Acres in Laclede County, Mo.


 Kansas City Star.
 The largest apple orchard in the world is soon to be planted in Laclede County Mo, a short distance from the main limo of the Frisco Railroad. The land has already been purchased by syndicate promoted by the residents of Des Moines, Ia., and assisted by the Frisco Railroad. One of the directors in the new enter prise Is a Kansas City man, William C.. Carroll, who has had much experience in fruit raising in the Ozark region Of Missouri.
 The largest orchard in the world to- day is in the Ozark mountains" said MT. Carroll yesterday. Ut has 2,300 acres planted in fruit trees. My company has purchased 5000 acres near Lebanon, Mo. We will plant every acre of 1t with fruit trees. When the apple trees are all bear ing-which will be about six years from no>.-we will have the largest orchard in the world"
 Do you not expect to receive any re- turns from your investment before six years have passed?" was asked.
 IYes, we will plant 250 acres in peach trees. Those will yield within about three years if the seasons are favorable. The crop, and that is why we have decided to plant most of the 5000 acres in apple trees. While the apple trees are grow ing, that Is. during the next three or four years-we will plant small fruits and grain between the rows of apple trees. By that plan our big farm will yield good revenue before we gather the first crop of apples
 Mr. Carroll said the 5000 acres that will be converted into an apple orchard are now covered with wild forest trees.
 We have let the contract for clearing the land" continued Mir Carroll. "Hor.' ticulturists have found that land that is productive of good timber is also good for fruit trees Whenever you see healthy virgin forest that is an indication that the soil and drainage will produce good crops of fruit. We intend to plant fifty trees to the acre. Only Jonathans and Ben Davis will be planted. Most or the orchards in Southern Missouri have trees planted sixty to the acre.
 The capital stock of the new company will be $1,O00.0O0. In order to assist the promoters of the enterprise the Frisco Railway Company has agreed to build a spur of track five miles long, running from the main line near Lebanon through the orchard.
