Old Maids.

Max O'Rell, the volumnious French es-
sayist. SAYS: 'Old Maids are the wallhow-
ers Of that great dancing party which is
called Life"
Is that true7 think not. It cannot be
true unless all our comfort and happiness
IS bound I'D in the rearing of children,
which often affiict their mothers with anX-
iety from the cradle TO the grave, or I'M
less all womanly satisfaction is confined
to humoring and bearing with the fads
and whims OF an exacting husband and
the various restraints OF such family
cares.
1 think old maids have splendid oppor-
tunities and royal times, when they can
enjoy their nephews and nieces and also
WHEN they can pick up a grip and go for
a visit whenever their hearts are set that
way.
Old maid sisters and aunts are the very
salt OF the earth. They are mainstays in
times OF sickness and bereavement.
As a rule they are moEt unselfsh and
their hearts are tender to the younger
ones. who are glad to make confidants Of
these loving aunts. whose love comes
next to their mothers.
Asking a friend some days ago about
a family that knew in my girlhood, she
answered: THE eldest daughter took her
mothers place, when the latter died. and
II ever there was en- angel of blessing in
a household, she calling her by nance is
that angel Of self-sacrihce and benefac-
ton. I do believe she Is the best woman
I ever knew, because she has raised her
brothers and sisters in great credit and
she Is never weary in well-doing."
Mother loYe is implanted in every wo-
mans breast feel sure, because the baby
girl will mother her doll babies as natur-
ally as she will iirt a fan or primp her
hair, but the love of an older sister for
the younger ones Is as much like real
mother love as you may ever expect to
find a parallel in this world.
nave in my minds eye a sweet faced
elder sister who has not only raised her
young brothers and a sister until they
were all grown and married, but she has
made a most comfortable home for her
widowed father who is trusted and hon
ored in the highest degree.
Her mission is a noble one, and as I
recall her sweet, cheerful face. I feel
convinced that her life mission was quite
as nobly fulfilled Gs II she had married
some sutton and spent the time in raising
anather family Of children that might
have called her rpother.

daughters 10 MI the mothers place so well
and satisfactorily. He owes too much to

them.

united the houses of York and Lancaster;
and ended the war of the roses. Wash
ington Irving says of this chapel: ION
entering the eye is astonished by the
pomp of architecture, and the elaborate
beauty of sculptural detail. The very
walls are wrought into universal orna-
ment, encrusted with tracery, and scooped
into inches crowded with the statues of
saints and martyrs Stone seems by the
cunning labor of the chisel to have been
robbed of its weight and density, suspen-
ded aloft as If by magic and the fretted
room achieved with the wonderful minute
ness and airy security of a coburb. In this
chapel are Lady Mayant Douglas, Mary
Queen of Scots. beheaded in 1881; George
Monk, the maker of kings; King Charles
3D. William and Mary; Queen Anne and
Prince George Of Denmark. The nave Of
the chapel contains the vault of King
Henry 7th and his wife; George the Sd
occupies the same vault; George I'd is here
buried without monument; here too rests
the remains of Queen Elizabeth. In this
chapel are sarcophagi in the form of era
dies where rest some royal children. Mary,
daughter of James LIST, who died when
two years old; and Edward 5th and his
brother, the Duke Of York, murdered in
the tower.
The chapel Of Edward the Confessor
contains rich monuments of Henry III.
and Queen Eleanor, wife of Edward l.,
Edward ILL.,, Richard IL, Edward 1. and
Edward the Confessor. In this chapel are
kept two great curiosities, one the old
coronation chair of Scottish kings, con-
tanning the "stone of scorn." said to be
the stone on which Jacob rested his head
at Bethel In this chair Edward VII. will
sit when crowned in August. Then there
is the new coronation chair, made for
Queen Mary. in which Alexandra will
take her seat.
A platform will be erected n the great
nave, upon which these chairs will be
placed. At 10 o'clock a. m. Edward VII
will leave Buckingham palace and come
to the church and be met at the west
door by the highest OF the nobility. From
the robing room near the entrance the
king will be escorted to the place prepared
for him. The bishop of London will preach
a sermon. Inc archbishop of Canterbury
will do the amounting; a liturgy will be
said, communion taken and prayers Of
feren. Then comes the worship, bowling
and kissing of hands. then medals mot
coins as of old will be scattered among
the people, and Edward will be just what
he was before. King of England and en-
peror of India. OF him it may be said that
he rose by his own unaided efforts from
being heir apparent to the throne to the
throne itself.

Mrs. Mackay has done as much as her
husband to keep the Bonanza name be-
fore the public-of late years she has
probably done more. She is a woman Of
great social ambitions. Not finding field

tensibly to superintend the education Of
her children.
Mackay bought a fine house in Paris for
$3.50 coo and gave his wife 100000 in
United States government bonds. The
house was magnificently furnished, and

The 5onynge Fued.
OF all the domestic affairs Of the Mac
kays which furnished food for gossip
abroad, there was none which aroused
such interest or caused so much laughter
as that known as the Bonynge feud. For
a lon9stine stories had been floating about
in London and Paris that Mrs. Mackay
had been a Washerwoman and that her
father, who was supposed to have been
in the United States army, was really
barber in San Francisco. a number Of
English newspapers printed this story,
and Mrs. Mackay sued one Of them for
libel and got verdict.
Before the newspapers printed the sto-
ries some one was telling them Indus
triously in London society. The Mackays
suspected the Bonynge family. Mr.. Bon
ynge was an Englishman who had gone
as Mr.. Mackay's broker and made few
millions. Then he went back to London,
taking his family with him, and pro-
ceeded to cut a figure in society. The two
families were jealous of each other.
A newspaper warfare was kept up for
months. Matters reached such pass af-
ter a while that it was understood that

BONANZA KING JOHN w. MACKAY
WAS A MONTE CRISTO IN REAL LIFE

when he made the hardest and most sue
cessful fight of his life. At one time it
seemed certain that the Nevada Bank
must go under
After Mr.. Fair left the bank George L.
Brander was made vice president and put
in full control by Mr.. Mackay. who had
absolute confidence in him. Mr.. BrandeT
was very bright young Scotchman, who
had received his business training in Edin-
buTgh.
1t was not long after Mr.. Fair left the
bank that the course pursued by Mr..
Brander began to cause gossip. 1t seemed
that the young man, with two or three
brokers, OWNED that a European war, or
some other manifestation of Providence,
would make wheat very dear. He began
to loan money on wheat. First half a
million went, and then millions went after
it in order to sustain the market.
Mr.. Brander was in position to do
just as he saw fit. He plunged into spec
ulation boldly. 1t was always denied that
the bank itself was directly interested in
the speculatiGns. The surmise that the
Nevada Bank was booming wheat in Chi
cago remained a surmise only.
Confidential agents did Mr.. Branders
work The deal was begun in San Fran
cisco. The bank picked out two wheat
brokers worth $25O,00O each as agents.
These agents made advances on wheat to
the extent of IS. OOOeOO or $1O.OOO,OOO They
kept whooping things up until wheat
touched S2.17 1-2.
Then the bottom fell out and there was
a crash.
Mr. Nacl1ay was in London all this time.
He learned of what was going on through
an idle remark of his London banker. He
came to this country Immediately. When
he arrived in San Francisco he learned
that the bank was buying the wheat crop
of California at about 80 cents above the
market value.
Mr.. Mackay started in to straighten the
affairs of the bank. The straits to which
IL had been reduced for ready cash We're
SORE All the property owned by Mr..
Flood and Mr.. Mackay was offered for
sale. Even the bank building was placed
upon the market. The money could not
be raised.
Mr.. Mackay saw ruin ahead Of him.
And 1t meant not only ruin to him but
great financial depression all along the
Pacific slope. There was only one man in
San Francisco who had the cash neces-
sary to keep the bank from going under.
Not long before that Mr.. Fair had sold
$4,000 worth of bonds to the government.
Mr. Mackay went to him. The old quarrel
was patched up, Mr.. Fair put up the ne
cessary money and returned to the bank
as its president That was the only time

each family had an agent in the United
States to keep the scandals moving along
The thing which drove the Bonynges to
desperation was what purported to be
history of them which was published in
weekly paper in New York, and which was
sent, with the story carefully marked, to
prominent people in London society. This
broke of an engagement between Miss
Virginia Daniel-Bonynge and the then
Viscount Cantelupe, now Earl OF De La
War; The article said that the young
woman was the child of a man named
Daniel, who had been a prisoner In q
California penitentiary.
Then a book was published against the
Bonynges, It was alleged. at the fpstiga-
ton of the Mackays. This book was called
Mrs. Jonathan Abroad" and purported to
give information about American women
who had achieved social prominence IN
Europe Tt contained venomous attack
upon the Bonynges.
The affair eliminated in a fight between
John w. Mackay and the elder eBonynge
in the Nevada bank in San Francisco
on January IS, 1891. Mr.. Mackay explained
that he had secured proof that Mr.. Bon
ynge rad been circulating scandalous sto-
ries about Mrs. Mackay and that he had
decided 10 punish the Englishman at the
first opportunity He did so then and
there.
Shot by Crank.
Mr.. Mackay was shot by a crank
named Rippi in San Francisco February
q, 1893, and came near dying. Rippi mad
been ,crazed by poverty, and he believed
Mr. MacfSay was the cause of his misforr
tunes, He killed himself after shooting
Mr.. Mackay.
OF late years Mr.. Maclxay spent much
of his time in Europe, but was also n
New York a good deal.
His fortune has been variously estimat-
ed at between 900 and $100,0OO,0o0.
In appearance he was tall and well
made. His hair, once very light, had
turned nearly white. He was shy and re-
served in speech, but quick to act once
he made Up his mind nothing could swerve
him.
He was a good friend to have and ter
rible enemy to provoke.

But we must do the best we can with all
these pests. My old-time chickens ate
whatever they could find. and we could
always raise Irish potatoes and 1 never

years ago.
1t is true, we had a harder kind OF
chickens IN those days, and the Irish po-

MIR. BRYAN
 GOES TOO FAR.

The democratic press of the country is growing very tired of hearing MT. Bryan denounce everybody as political traitors who believe it wise policy to leave the Kansas City platform in the scrape pile where it was consigned in 1900. The press has long kept si- lent concerning MT. Bryan's vicious assaults on all who differ with him on matters of party policy, but it is plain now that the democratic press of the country will not remain silent any longer if MT. Bryan persists in his announced determination to eliminate everybody from the democratic party who opposes the endorsement of his free silver platform on which he was twice defeated for the presidency.
 Since the democratic party was or ganized over a hundred years ago no man has been big enough to lay down the law as to who should be called democrats or who should be nomina- ted for office.
 Unless the reorganizers and disor- sanize-s learn to show more respect for the party and less for their own vanity, their experiences as political advisers may end before 1904, in com plete loss of influence in democratic counsels.
 The history of the past four years shows plainly how the democratic par " is constructed. Its origin is in the people; its power is in the people; its policy at any time is in the wish of the people. There are no successful die tators among the individuals who as- pire to leadership. When they come to follow they cease to lead. They cannot read each other out of the party, and cannot maintain a one man or two-man test, invented to push rivals. imaginary or real, out of the road to the favor of voters.

 The gathering together and training of the Greene and Packard string sf racehorses in Phoenix is a matter of considerable interest and no small i'm portance, says the Republican In the first place it is providing market for some of the good stock raised herea- bouts and in that way encouraging the raising of more good stock Then too it is or will later, give this valley considerable advertising in that line of business, for it is. the avowed inten- ton of Messrs Greene and Packard to some day own the fastest string of race horses in the country.
