Walsh Has a New Auto.

It was with something of a shock that
the public learned that Thomas T. Walsh
is having a magnificent road wagon built
for his daughter, Miss Evelyn. One
last summer the very thought of an auto
would prove narrowing, and that nothing
short of miracle could induce them to
enter one again But they are starting
out afresh, with one of the most luxuri-
Gus. complete and costly machines ever
built in this country. Miss Evelyn is re-
covering, but slowly. and it is desired to
give her air without the resulting pub
licity Of a rolling chair. So that auto is
constructed with a reclining lounge fully
six feet long and about four feet in
breadth, or the size of a cOmmOdiOus
couch. Books are arranged about the
sides and there are toilet articles, nu-
merOus and dainty as those of her bou-
doir. Equipped with this wonderful con-
venience, the Washes will, after suf-
ficientIy testing the machine, start west
ward. Mr.. Walsh has signed year 5
lease of Senator WOlcOttS magnificent eS-
tate lust outside of Denver. This place,
WOIlhurst, consists of a grand mansion
containing some sixty rooms, and about
1000 acres of land, with a model farm,
dairy, hunting lodge and all the acces-
series of an English country seat Mr..
Walsh as frequently stated, is the sub
iect of as much sOlicitude as is Miss
Evelyn 1t is hoped that he will become
interested in farming. The family, ex.

Wife Is an American.
Madame George Bakhmetieff, wife of
the recently appointed Russian ambas-
sadOr to Japan. is visiting her sister,
Mrs. John r. Mclean. This lady, with
her brother. came in for the lions share
Of the Beale fortune, and Mrs Mclean
got only $4,000. on the plea that her hus-
band was such rich man. Marvellous to
saw the three are still on speaking terms
and this shows that the wife Of the Gin
cinnati man is the fine woman her
friends know her to be. Bakhmetieff
owes much of his success as diplomat
TO his wife whom he met when secre-
tary to the Russian legation at Washing
ton, and whom he married in Vienna
while her father, General EDWARD r
Reale of California. was American min
lister to Austria in the '1Os. Nine Bakh-
