mittee and did excellent service for
his party. Mr.. Mcmillan retained the
office of State Republican chairman
until 1896. His interest in Michlgan's
affairs did not seem to flag at all by
reason of his elevation to the Senate,
and all the time his home In Detroit
as we'll as one in the country near by,
was maintained continuously, although
he had fine residence in Washington
and a summer place on the Massachu-
setts coast. He was chosen to the
United States Senate three times, and
the last term would have ended in 1907.
In the Senate he was particularly we'll
known for his interest in the affairs of
the District of Columbia. He had serv-
ed on several important committees
and was on the naval committee dur
ing the war with Spain.
Senator Mcmillan was possessed OF
great wealth, being several times
| millionaire, and he was free to bestow
his money upon worthy causes. His
home life was ideal and he took the
greatest pleasure at his magnificent
residence in Detroit with his wife &nd
children-three sons and a daughter.

Business Mans Reason for Hating
Former Model Boy.
A well-known business man was
standing at an F street corner talking
with friend the other afternoon, when
a seedy looking chap, with a bloated
countenance and a whining voice Ap-
preached and tackled the business man
for the loan of dollar. The business
man gruf1y declined the shabby chaps
appeal and told him to be on his way in
canter.
This rather puzzled the companion
of the business man, who knew that
the latter was of an extremely charita-
BILE disposition-a man who rarely Ie-
sisted the appeal Of the commonest
street beggar and who made 1t point
never to turn down an appeal for tinan,
cial aid from unfortunate friends OF
former days.
The business man chewed In silence
on the end of his cigar for while and
then he said:
"You no doubt think it odd that

Whose Death Removed Figure Prom

A man of commanding influence In
many important fields Of legislation
and who occupies a notable place in
national affairs passed away in the
death Of United States Senator James
Mcmillan of Michigan.
James Mcmillan was born in Halnil-
ton, Ont, of Scotch parentage, May
10. 1888. He attended the best schools
Of the province, but, rather than at
tend college, he determined to learn
the hardware business and, after lit
tie experience in his home town, went
to Detroit, where he passed two years
in a wholesale house. Then, through
his fathers solicitation, he forsook the
hardware business to begin RAILROAD
ing and was made purchasing agent OF
the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad
In 1864 he began his career as an EN-
ployer and, with three other men, or
ganized the Michigan Car Company
out Of which have sprung three othe
big concerns employing 5000 men. Thi
venture was most successful and pavet

A fur-lined glove worn by Henry VI.
Is still to be seen in the house where
he took shelter after the battle OF
Hexham, in the family Of the Pudseys,
Bolton Hall, Yorkshire, 1854, and is in

In New College, Oxford, William
Wykeham's gloves still exist, and in a

Collectors know their. actual, date by
the form of the glove. The earlier ones
were quite short, and merely covered
the hand. When, in Charles Ills time
sleeves became shorter, gloves grew
longer; they reached almost to the ell

and studded with jewels, and set off
with lace ribbons and fringes. Elab~
