WILL WE'D GOYERNESS
MiIIionaire's Fiancee Was Tutor
 of His Children.
FIRST WIPES TRAGIC DEATH
Met End Trying to Save Little Ones From Fire - Her Family Oppose Brother in laws Marriage to Com panion of Actresses.

New York, March 23.-Philp S. Hen ", multimillionaire and brother-in-law of Jesse Lewisohn, is to wed his chil- dren's governess in spite of repeated denials. It was learned that the cere- mony is to be performed next Wednes- day, but it will be in England and not in New York, as was contemplated when it was first said last fall that the marriage was to take place.
 The bride to be is Miss Annie Hyatt Wolfe, an English girl, who has had the care of MT. Henry's two children since their mother met tragic death in saving them from being burned to death when their house at "A East Fifty sixth street was destroyed in Jan- uary, 1903.
 Will Live In North Carolina.
 Immediately after they are married Mir. Henry and his bride will return to this country and spend the spring and summer on his beautiful estate, Ielan- dia, at Asheville, N. C., which is sec OIG ODlt III Dtdhty io W. Vanderbilt's country estate.
 Mir Henry has said that Miss Wolfe has been a second mother to his chill dren. who have learned to love her as if she were their own mother. Accord ing to report, the marriage would have been performed at least year ago if Mir Henry had had his way, but Miss Wolfe, fearing criticism by the Lewt- sohns. until a short time ago refused to accept his suit.
 Members of the Lewisohn family have been very guarded in their state ments regarding the reported engage ment They intimated that MT. Henry was quite capable of attending to his own business, but no congratulations were forthcoming for publication at any rate.
 Children Inherited $2O,ooo,ooo.
 When Mir Henry's first wife, who was Miss Florine Lewisohn, daugh- ter of the late copper king, lost her life her children, Gladys and Violet, fell heir to her share of the $20,000, 900 estate.
 MT. Henry is not a poor man by any means in his own right, but his lavish expenditures on his Asheville estate and in entertainments brought down on him, it is said, a suggestion from the Lewisohns that the children's inter ests must be carefully guarded. He maintains the finest private stable in Asheville and is one of the chief pro motors of the annual spring horse show held there.

REAL OLD S0UTHERNER DEAD
Colonel Fairfax Was One of Few Sur
 viving AntebeIlum virginians.

Richmond, Va, March 23.-Colonel John Walter Fairfax died at his home, Ieesylvania, Va, in his eightieth year. He was a well known veteran of the civil war, having held the rank of colo mel in the Confederate army. In 1864 he succeeded Colonel Sorrel as rank ing officer on the staff of General Longstreet. Owing to his dash and gallantry Colonel Fairfax had been characterized in history as Long streets fighting aid"
 No parsonage in Virginia perhaps embodied more uniquely the character istics of the old time southerner than did Colonel Fairfax. Typically ere ation of the social conditions that pre- vailed in Virginia three-quarters of a century ago. his quality had never changed through transition to the new order of southern life that followed the abolition of slavery.
 In 1S47. while a student at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, his father died, leaving him one of the largest fortunes of that period. In 1850 he ac- quired the historic country seat of President James Monroe near Aldie, Va. and during his residence there en- tertained many of the most distinguish ed persons of the antebellum period.
 In addition to the Monroe homestead. Colonel Fairfax possessed an estate known as Bellgrove, near Leesburg, Va, and still another. the old home of the Lee family. on the Potomac, Lee sylvania. This latter is famed as the birthplace of the Revolutionary hero, Light Horse Harry Lee.
 Colonel John Walter Fairfax was the son of Captain Henry Fairfax of Dumfries. Va. through marriage with Elizabeth Lindsay. His father served in the war of 1872 with the rank of captain on the stan of Colonel Renno in the Thirty-sixth Virginia regiment.
 Hon. Henry Fairfax. his eldest son and one of the best known men in Nir- ginia. makes his home at the old Mon- roe estate near Aldie. in Loudoun county.
