For months laughing boy has been
the bone of contention In a famous
New York law suit. A husband and
wife had parted. They viewed each
other as strangers across a trial table
in court room. There was no doubt
about their love for the boy. 1t was
pure gold. 1t should have made wo-
man more tolerant, a man more forgiv-
ing. Happy married folks can't IN
derstand how the mothers and faith
ers Of children can ever separate and
learn to hate. In thfs case there was q
great deal of money on one side. 1t
meant fine clothing for baby, and
nurses, rich food, carriage drives and
costly toys. Some day 1t would mean
a yacht, a valet private car-all of
the things that can be had for money.
On the other side-the mother s-there
was much love and very little money.
1t was possible that her son would
be compelled to work some day, and
that he would be denied all sorts Of
comforts and luxuries that 60 with
great incomes. What a problem for
the Judge! This Judge, whose name
is Hickey, has some strange ideas. He
thinks that when married folks are
foolish enough to break up a relation
that should mean peace and content
ment, 1t is the business OF the court
to place the welfare of the children
above every other condition That
doesn't mean money always. Listen to
the modern solomon: The boy needs
the personal attention and the loving
care of his mother more than he needs
the money of his father, If the father
has the affection for the child he pro-
fesses he will see that his boy is
clothed and fed wherever he is" In
other words, a mother is closer to her
children than father, and, for once,
the law has recognized It. The idea
of the superior claim of a father to
his children has received an official set
back. Where no question of morals is
involved and when love and money are
antagonists, Justice should throw her
influence on the side Of hearts as
against gold Because 1t is best for the
children.

Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt, Jr, sur
vive. The eldest son. James, died de-
cade ago. In San Francisco young
Fairs free use of money gained him a
large following and he ran the gamut
Of dissipation.
One day there blew into San Francis
co a theatrical troupe, the most beau
tiful Of whose members was girl who
called herself Maud Nelson. She had
other stage names. Her right name
was Caroline d. Smith and she was the
daughter of William Smith, of New
Market N. j., who drove a wagon for
a tailor named Rogers. When her
fathes married for second time CaS)-
line packed up her belongings and
faced the world for a living, ultimate
ly becoming an actress. When as Maud
Nelson she reached San Francisco she
attracted the attention of young Fair
and they were finally married.
OF course the marriage offended Mr..
Fair and the other members of the

family. The bride was persona non
grata and always remained so. Yet
she effected some change In her hus-
band, and he was able to satisfy the
executors of his mothers will-under
which he was to receive 100000 If he
remained sober two years-that he had
lived up to its conditions.
1t is needless here to enter into the
history of the contest over the will of
the late Senator Fair in which the
three children took part as also did
certain Mrs. Nettie Craven, who
claimed to be the widow of the dead
millionaire Senator A few months ago
the will contest was decided and each
OF the then three surviving children re-
ceived between $7,00O,OOO and $S,00O,-
600.
Fair had one fad that developed into
a passion and ultimately led to his
tragic end. He was an automobile
fiend. He owned the first automobile
on the Pacific Coast and was an en-.
thusiastic speed breaker. When he and
his wife left San Francisco last May
for Paris it was for the purpose Of buy
Ing an automobile faster than the one
he owned, although the latter was ca
pable of making 72 miles an hour. In
Paris he bought another machine and
1t was while riding in this that death
came to him and his WIFE According
to the story of the tragedy the automo-
bile was travelling at the rate of so
miles an hour when one of the tires
burst. The machine turned a somer-
sault and Mr.. and Mrs. Fair were
buried beneath it, their heads being
crushed In. The chauffeur accompany-
ing them was dangerously injured.
A singular coincidence of the acct
dent is that several years ago John w.
Mackay, Jr.. son of Senator Fairs old
partner. John w. Mackay, who died re-
Gently, was also killed near Paris by a
fall from horse. Senator Fairs other
partners in the Comstock lode were

WHERE QUEEN VICTORIA DIED.
osborne House, Which Edward Pre-
sented to the British Nation.

osborne House, Which Edward Pre-
sented to the British Nation.
Famous Osborne House, one Of the
favorite residences of the late Queen
Victoria, which was presented to the
British nation by King Edward VII. on
Coronation day, is one of the most mag
nificent Of the several homes Of Eng
lish royalty. The gift is peculiarly graf
flying to the British public as Osborne
Is sacred to the memory Of the late
Queen and Will ever be inseparably con-
nected with incidents in the life Of that
beloved sovereign.
AS 1t will be necessary for King Ed
ward to spend considerable part Of
the year In London and in its neighbor-
hood, at Windsor, and having also
strong home ties In the county Of Nor
folk, he felt that he would be unable to
make adequate use Of Osborne House
as a royal residence, and he therefore,
offered the property as a gift to the ma
ton. 1t Is the Kings desire that the
house be devoted to national purposes
and converted into q convalescent
home for officers Of the army and navy
whose health has been impaired In the
service of their country.
1t was at Osborne House, Isle Of
Wight, that Queen Victoria died, Jan
uary %, 1901. 1t is situated In Whip
bingham Parish, not far from Cowes.
The house can only be reached by cross
Ing the ferry to East Cowes and ascend
Ing steep hill, the view from every
part Of which is a delightful one-wood-
Land, valley, town, river and sea being
visible. Queen Victoria used to spend
most of the winter months at Osborne,
which was her favorite residence next
to Balmoral Scotland. She liked Wind
sor Castle little, and Buckingham Pal
ace, London, least Of all. While the
Queen was at Osborne the grounds
were jealousy guarded, but when she
was absent visitors were allowed to
inspect them. The gardens, with their
terraces, their myrtle and rose trees,
and their many rare exotics, are among
the finest In the south of England. The
climate of the Isle of Wight Is consid-
erably warner than that Of the main
land. and every visitor to that Garden
Of England" as it Is called, will have
remarked the luxuriant manner in
which flowers grow there.
