recall none more characteristic of him
than that which occurred on the eve of his
departure for Mexico. A number of his
friends in the Analostan Boat Club gave
him farewell party at the clubs landing
between the Aqueduct and the Chain
bridges, and there Were present many men
distinguished iE social and political life
among them, by the way, Gen. j. A. Will
hanson, who preceded the governor to the
grave by but few days
Upon returning to the boat house we
organized an fmpromptu meeting for toast
giving and brief speeches suitable to the
party when the governor was called on to
respond. He was evidently deeply touched
by the cordial words of those who had pre-
ceded him and spoke with much feeling.
He referred to the criticism and, indeed
accusations which had been visited upon
him and said, But l do not care anything
about that now: | know that in time l will
be justly judged | have lost everything
there is nothing left for me but my heart
and hands, my wife and my children. By
Gods grace, that heart and these hands
and every faculty that | have will work out
a new life and new happiness for those
who, thank God, are spared to me- and
whom | hold so dear. l now have no other
ambition
''As he closed he quietly withdrew from the
room and every man present felt the sim
cerity of his words and of the heart be
hind them. After a brief waiting for his
return two of went to look for him and
found him in the reception room, standing
with his arm against the wall, his head
bent forward upon it, and weeping like
child. The effect upon all, when the Incl
dent became known, may readily be imag
ined, and one of the party. a former con-
gresham who had been a bitter opponent
Of the governor declared that he would
never again believe i'll word of the man
whose nature had so genuinely asserted it
self in a way to touch all hearts

ory and 1 hope the citizens will take this
matter up with vigor.
''It is strange" continued Mr.. Bell, re-
ferrfng to the late Senator Mcmillan of
Michigan, that two men so closely identi-
fled with the growth of Washington should
die within period of few months, the one
identified with the city's past and the other
looking forward to it's Identification in the

His Great Work in Mexico.

His Great Work in Mexico.
Mr.. W. V Cox said
"While mourning the loss of Senator
James Mcmillan, the author Of the park
Improvement plans for the national capital
in Congress, we are called to pay tribute
to Alexander r. Shepherd, the founder of
greater Washington. The work left un-
finished by these two strong. self-relying,
far-sighted business men will have to be
performed by others.
Most of us know what Governor Shep-
herd has done for Washington, but there
are few who realize that in Chihuahua
Mexico, he has accomplished results Of
even as great magnitude as here. Older
WaShngtOnians will recall his eventful
trip in the spring of 1850 from San An
tonic, Texas, to Chihuahua, with his fam
lily, and that it took forty days to make
the journey, through a country filled with
Apaches, then on the warpath.
THE work he has done in developing the
Hacienda, San Miguel, Roncesvalles and
Todos Santo mines, and the marvellous Por-
friO DlaZ tunnel connecting the last two
has been stupendous. In the successful
development of these mines, requiring pre-
eminent ability, and for his sterling quail
ties and as born leader of men, the citi-
Zens of Mexico regard Governor Shepherd
as the greatest American.
The past year has been the most pros
porous in the history of his great mining
enterprises, and during it he has paid off
all of the company's Mexican debt, it's
floating debt, and had expected in Deem
Der to have redeemed all coupons on out
standing mortgage bonds and to retire the
bonds themselves.
has finished his great work in Mexico he
also finished life's work. and the city of
Washington will be deprived of doing him
homage on his expected return here to
make BLEAK House once more his home
1t is sad to think that he could not have
been spared to reap the harvest of the seed

No Reflection on His Integrity.

Gen. H. V. Boynton said: Being one of
the correspondents who was active in the
newspaper work directed toward breaking
down the former District government, it is
a pleasure to say that through it all there
was nothing brought to the attention Of
those correspondents thus engaged that re-
lected. in any degree, upon the personal
integrity Of Governor Shepherd His posi-
ton made him the target for the grave
matters that were developed against vari-
Gus contractors ard the politicians who
preyed on them. At the end Of his work
he had laid deep and strong the fOunda-
tions of a capital worthy of the nation,
which. as all know, ranks among the most
beautiful in the world. But in this hour
of triumph he found himself without for
tune, and left his country to gain one. Just
when he had succeeded, and great people
were waiting to do him honor, death has
ended all under the sorrowful conditions
which sadden our whole population"
Evening star., 1902-09-13
Major Sylvester.

Major Richard Sylvester: 1t was not un-
til 1871 that Washington began to te the
beautiful city that it is today. Is i'm
provement was largely due to Alexander
r. She pherd, of whose death We now learn.
The common saying was that Shepherd
lifted Washington out of the mud 1t is
undoubtedly true that to him belongs the
credit for inaugurating and succe ssfully
continuing the vast Improvement made in
all parts of the city. Governor Shepherd
was a man of indomitable will and saga
cious foresight, and he determined that the
national capital should be a metropolis in
fact as well as in name and an object of
pride to the whole country. To him also it
it due that the scheme for the removal
OF the capital to some western city was
prevented from being carried out.
He was the friend of General Grant and
awakened Congress to an intent on local
affairs. He gained the support of promI-
nent citizens, procured northern capital for
District bonds; graded and paved streets:
reconstructed sidewalks; set out thousands
of trees; developed the parks and circles;
built sewers and improved sanitary condi-
tions Handsome buildings, residences,
churches and schools were erected which
had before appeared only on paper and
gave rise to the remark by an old-time
diplomat Washington is a city of magnifi-
cent distances At that time his good work
was not appreciat ted, but We have lived to
regard 1t as master stroke. 1t is too hard
he had to give up his life so far away
from the field OF his greatest exploits"
Evening star., 1902-09-13
Admired His Sterling Worth.

preme Court of the District of Columbia:
L was not personally acquainted with Gov
ernor Shepherd, but none the less, in COM
mon with all Washingtonians, 1 was a
great admirer of his sterling worth; his
high character and the splendid foresight
and ability he displayed in inaugurating
and carrying out the mammoth improve
it is today.
He was one of those heroic characters
that now and then move to the front in
the mana agement of a big municipality.
Though opposed at the time, he had his
reward finally in the esteem and affection
of the very people who first opposed him
they seeing later on, as he saw at the
start, that in no other way could the work
have been ACCOMPLISHED
Evening star., 1902-09-13
Perry Carson.

Perry Carson, the stalwart colored repub-
lican of the District and janitor at the Dis
trict building, served for a time as messen-
ger to Gov Shepherd. He was messenger
to Gov. Cooke prior to Gov. Shepherds occu-
pancy of the office. and remained as mes
senger to the latter until appointed by him
as janitor at the old city hall, in which the
courts are now located. Carson carried
forth many of the governors important Or
ders and helped TO summon the contractors
and laborers for such of the underta kings
as the demolition of the old Northern Lib
erty market and the railroad tracks in Mis-
souri, avenue.

The Maker of Washington.

A1C AAoASA VI =" tOI
Mr.. Simon Wolf said: "A few years ago
we welcomed back to the city he had
created Alexander R. Shepherd, we gave
him the freedom of the city, and lavished
on him the high esteem and hearty admira-
| tion he so eminently deserved. We all looked
| forward to the time when he would return
! to US, and spend in serene happiness and
| content the winter of his life, made perpet-
ual spring by the love and affection of his
| fellow citizens, but now we must await the
| funeral cortege, and back to US comes the
mortal remains of the foremost citizen of
! the nations capital.
I'm the dark days Of 1S70-74 when
| defamation, malice, envy and ignorance
| surcharged the air, when the petty mousing
| selfshness of few bounded the noble gov
| ernor, thank God I stood by him first and
| last. Felt II an honor to be deemed worthy
| Of his friendship, and shall ever prize it as
! a legacy and heirloom. Time and again 1t
| has been agitated to erect monument, but
| he needs none aside from the city he re-
| created and pushed forward into the grand
| ocean Of achieved possibilities.
Side by side with L'Enfant will forever
| stand Washington's own son. Alexander r.
| Shepherd. But not only as a public spirited,
! farseeing citizen was he great, not only un-
| rivaled In energy and moral courage. but
| as a man and friend he was loyal, true and
| tender. He was indeed the man that
Shakespeare drew, and we will not for
| many generations to come look upon his
| like again.
Broad and deep he laid out the future
| OF our beloved city No cheesesparing Con-
| gress can ever stop its onward march, no
| narrow selfishness stem its progress. On
| the lines laid down by the master mind the
| fellow crafts of the future must follow
| Dear friend, noble man, patriotic American
| great Washingtonian, salute you.''
Should Raise Monument to Him.
'It is difficult to realize the tremendous
amount of good Gov. Shepherd did for the
city of Washington" said Mr. Charles J.
| Bell today. "He has been criticised for
extravaganza and lavish expenditure of
money. This was natural when we con-
slider the man. He had his convictions,
| which were very strong, that work should
/ be done. and should be done thoroughly and
1 quickly. Expense did not enter into his
! calculations No man who. under the con-
| ditions that confronted him, should have
! considered the cost would have undertaken
| to do the work he undertook Washington
should now raise monument to his men,
