A PATHFINDER'S WIDOW
SPENDS HER CLOSING YEARS
IN A COTTAGE.
Mrs. John C. Fremont the Most Notable
KeHhlent of Los Angelo*—Iler First
Appeurwnce In Society A 1.1 fc Full of
Incidents.
One of the points of interest In Los
Angeles, Southern California, is the
^ Fremont cottage, given by the women
of California to Mrs. Jessie Benton
Fremont, widow of Gen. John C. Fre-
mont, known as the Pathfinder because
of the important part he took in the
acquisition and development of Cali-
fornia.
The cottage is surrounded by beau-
tiful grounds, and the interior is
charming with fine old furniture,
1 souvenirs of foreign travel and relics
' belonging to Gen. Fremont. Mrs. Fre-
mont's life has been exceptionally full
of incident, much of it being of his-
torical interest.
Her father was United States sena-
tor for 30 years and until late years
she was associated with the best po-
litical and social circle of Washing-
ton and Europe.
As Miss Benton her first appear-
ance into the really fashionable world

Many a man iu indebted to a jury for
life.
MRS. JOHN C. FREMONT,
occurred wh°n, at 14, she was chosen
one of the eight bridesmaids of the
wedding of an elderly Russian ambas-
sador, Count Bodisco. Count Bodisco's
bride, a girl of 16, was, with Jessie
Benton, being educated at the George-
town seminary.
Among her memories are those of
the great balls and dinners given by
the Prince de Joinville, the son of the
"King of the French," who visited
Washington in 1841, when Tyler was
President and Webster Secretary of
State; also, the functions given in hon-
of Lord and Lady Bulwer (the latter,
it may be remembered, was niece of
the Duke of Wellington), who came
over direct from England in a man-of-
war with a whole legation, only drop-
ping anchor at Potomac.
While in Europe in 1852 and 1853
Mrs. Fremont's life was full of inter-
est, from' her first evening out in Lon-
don at the town house of the Duke of
Northumberland, through a long list
of brilliant functions. In Paris she
witnessed the entrance of Louis Na-
poleon as Emperor.
The culminating point in Fremont's
life was his candidacy for the Presi-
dency in 1856. He was the first Re-
publican candidate for President and
Mrs. Fremont was a prominent factor
in the campaign. When the war came
on and Fremont distinguished himself
by freeing his slaves, Mrs. Fremont
was in sympathy with his action;
when he refused to serve under Pope
she upheld him; when her life was be-
set with poverty and suffering she
shared adversity with patience.
In her old age Mrs. Fremont still re-
tains her interest in the active world,
and many persons of distinction who
visit Los Angeles seldom fail to pay
their respects to her.
A Kiss That Cost a Life.
In Prescott, Wash., one day recently,
Miss Ella Boone remarked at a party
that she had never been kissed. Frank
Sloan heard the remark, and a little
later, whi.e she was blindfolded, he
kissed her in fun. She resented hi3
action and, pulling a hatpin from her
hat, stabbed him in the leg. The pin
was broken off and blood-poi3oning re-
sulted. The1 next day the pain became
so intense that Sloan went to the hos-
pital in Walla Walla. An X-ray ma-
chine failed to locate any sign of the
pin. and Sloan grew worse and died.
A Smooth Verdict.
Some coroner's juries are very con-
siderate of the feelings of people, as
the certificates of death which they
render often show. One of the smooth-
est thus far noted refers to a railway
casualty. It reads that So-and-So "died
from the effects of injuries received aft-
er being run over by a railway train
in motion, owing to a misunderstand-
ing between deceaspd and an engine
driver." Such a statement ought not
hurt the feelings of anyone.

A Cliureli Accepts Parker Statue.
The Kraus statue of Theodore Park-
er, made in 1885, is still a source of
trouble. It was first rejected, with
many protests, by Parker s friends,
and was retired from view, but it has
now been accepted by the FirBt par-
ish (Unitarian) of West Roxbury,
Mass., and will be set up in front of
the church of that congregation.

Women's University < lub.
The Women's University club of New
York is the latest organization among
college graduates. The alumna of the
various colleges have planned an or-
ganization with the object of building
a club house such as those* enjoyed by
men. Seven hundred women gradu-
ates were present at a meeting held,
and the success of the scheme seems
assured.

Lcmos 9150,000 In Raolng.
Mr. Justin McSweeney, formerly on®
of the most prominent owners on the
Australian turf, and a well-known
Sydney citizen and man of business,
has made some revelations of a sensa-
tional character regarding horse rac-
ing In the antipodes. Ho confesses that
he has lost 5150,000 in horse racing,
and that within his limited experi-
ence he has seen about thirty wealthy
men ruined on the turf
Sensible Giving.
Russell A. Gardner, a vehicle manu-
facturer of St. Louis, gave 510,000 to
his employes as a Christmas present,
j When he balanced hl3 books for the
year he found that the company nad
made $10,000 more than had been ex-
pected and more than was necessary
for the business or for personal wants.
The money was distributed among the
employes according to their lengih of
service.

Hundreds of car loads of Perona

the grip epidemic.
Everybody laying in a stock of
this valuable remedy in time to
meet the terrible enemy, the Grip.
The extensive facilities or the
manufacturers taxed to their ut-
most to meet the urgent demand
for Peruna.
Almost everybody has the grip.
Almost everybody must have Pe-
runa.
Taken at the appoaranee of the
first symptoms of the grip, not
only Is Peruna a prompt cure Tor
the grip but It prevents those dis-
astrous after effect* so character-
istic of this dread dlaease.
Peruna not only cures the grip but prevents it.
Taken in time thousands of lives will be saved in this present epi-
demic. , . _
Every family should take the precaution to secure a supply of Pe-
runa at once, for the retail and wholesale stock of the remedy may be
exhausted by the enormous demand for it
It is wisdom to have Peruna in the house even before the grip at-
tacks the household.
It has been ascertained by a reporter that the following people of
national reputation have given public endorsement and testimonials to
Peruna as a remedy for la grippe:
Congressman Howard, of Alabama, says: "I have taken Peruna
for the grip and recommend It as an excellent remedy to all fellow-
sufferers." x _
Congressman White, of North Carolina, says: "I find Peruna to be
an excellent remedy for the grip. I have used it In my family and
they all Join me in recommending it"
Miss Francis M. Anderson, of Washington, D. C., daughter of Judge
Anderson, of Virginia, says: "I was taken very ill with the grip. I
took Peruna and was able to leave my bed In a week."
Mrs. Harrlette A. S. Marsh, President of the Woman's Benevolent
Association of Chicago, writes: "I suffered with grip seven weeks.
Nothing helped me. Tried Peruna and within three weeks I was fully
•estored. Shall never be without it again."
At the appearance of the first symptoms of grip people should stay
Indoors and take Peruna in small doses (teaspoonful every hour) until
the symptoms disappear. This will prevent a long, disastrous sick-
ness and perhaps fatal results.
Princess Henry's Compositions.
It is now some years since Princess
Henry of Battenberg has published
any of her musical compositions. She
has written many songs, and not a
few have achieved popularity. Prin-
ess Henry has lately finished an elabo-
rate baptismal hymn, which is likely
to be heard at many Royal services.
Poverty ! asilkes Meddling Cariosity.
Miss Jane Addams declares that all
people should take an Interest In the
poorer classes as Individuals, with the
personal interest of the friend and well
wisher, rather than of the curious or
the meddling.
