his pocket, and recently while in an alter

parched nuts to MUNICH He says it al

toothsome morsels, but in this instance
his peanut habit not only failed to clear
the atmosphere Of excitement, but on the
contrary precipitated shooting scrape.
Smith observed Nichols hand reaching

his own gun and beat Nichols over the
head with it, The gun was discharged
in the scufhe, the bullet grazing Nichols

JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, JR
Son of Standard Oil Magnate Goes In
for Money Making and Practical
Theology.
New York Special.

John d. Rockefeller, Jr., already one
of the richest young men on the CONT
nent, will doubtless be the richest when
he inherits his fathers vast fortune.
Young Rockefeller goes in for theology
as a fad. He teaches Sunday school,
breaches now and then, and is also a
good business man, holding responsible
position with the Standard Oil company.
Young Rockefeller is an economical
chap, living simply and saving money.
He was educated at Brown university
and was once accused of plagiarism. He
not only refuted the charge, but forced
the faculty to apologize.
A few Sundays ago he was talking to
his Sunday school class about industry.
"Our industry" he said, with faint
smile, SHOULD not be of such nature
that the remark once applied to a certain
Scot could ever be applied to us.

SENATOR STEWART TO RETIRE
FROM PUBLIC LIFE.
National Capital VIII Soon Lose One
of Its Most Picturesque Figures
Identified with Mining
Interests.
WASHINGTON ID. O. sneeIal.

Senator William Morris Stewart,
probably the most picturesque figure in
the capital, has announced that he will
retire from the senate when his present
term expires, March. Is, 1905. The ven
cradle senator--he will be n years old
in August--has had enough OF public
life and wishes to retire to his farm, in
Nevada, where he has fine estate of
1900 acres and large dairy.
Senator Stewart, with his sweeping
snow-white beard that hides his collar
and necktie and much of his vest, is oft
en- likened to Santa Claus. Despite his
age he is straight and strong and has
fine. rudy complexion. He surprised
his friends in October of last year by
marrying Mrs. May Agnes Cone. a
widow, of Georgia, who is at least 80
years his junior The senator is said
to have been attracted to her when he
first saw her photograph a few months
previous. She was invited to his fine
country place, Ashburn farm, near
Washington, and amid rural surrounds
ings the courtship progressed quickly.
The present Mrs. Stewart Is the sem
ator's second wife.
No man has left a more indelible mark
Of his influence upon the mining inter-
ests OF the Pacific coast than Mr.. Stew
art. He was born in New York state,
but his parents moved to Ohio when he
was small boy. He worked on his
fathers farm until he was 13 years old,
when he was allowed to start in the
world for himself After accommodating
$4S he went to school and managed to
support himself and attend an academy
for three years. He worked during
school vacations and during term times
boarded himself, cooking his own meals
and doing chores to gain pocket money.
Later he went to Lyons IN. W school,
where he worked on neighboring farms
for wages during vacation.
Then he obtained employment as a
teacher and prepared for college, finally
entering Yale college. He remained
there until 1S49, when the entire current
of his life was changed by the discovery

of gold in California When he started
for the Pacific coast via Panama his cap
ital consisted principally of stout
heart, determined spirit and a sound
mind in a sound body. He took up the
in the coyote diggings' of Nevada
county. He was the discoverer of the
celebrated Eureka diggings, which have
been worked continuously ever since.
Later he went to Nevada City and
studied law. He was appointed district
attorney and in 1854 was named attorney
general and moved to San Francisco.
Here he married daughter Of sx-Goy.
Foote, of Mississippi. Becoming wearied
of metropolitan life, he returned to Me-
vada City, and thence removed to Down
ieville, in Sierra county, then one of the
most important and popular mining
camps in the state. There he devoted
himself to the study and practice Of laws
relative to mining, ditch and water
rights. ETC., a most important and lucra-
tive branch Of legal practice.
He continued in this business until
April, 1860, when the great rush to
Washoe" took place, and Mr.. Stewart
was drawn into the maelstrom of surg
Ing humanity which flooded Washoe in
that memorable year. The rival ledge
theories were prolific source Of conten-
ion, while the ignorant or intentional in
accuracy in defining the boundaries of
claims and the neglect to make proper
records or to record locations at all were
equally certain to result in expensive
litigation
1t was no wonder that lawyers fiocked
to Washoe, for the prospect of rich har-
vest was unmistakable. Into this litiga-
ton Mr.. Stewart entered with all the
zeal and earnestness OF his vigorous ma
ture, and he was retained in almost ev-
cry suit OF Importance brought before
the higher courts of the territory and
subsequent state Of Nevada. To his legal
acumen, sagacity and influence is mainly
due the permanent settlement Of title
OF nearly all the mines on the great Com
stock lode. His fees were large and his
surplus funds being invested In the DE-
velment Of the mines, he soon became
one OF the leading operators on the Com
stock.
Mr.. Stewart has served three terms In
the senate.
