GRACE A ROMAN CATHOLIC
T
Interesting Career of One of
New York’s Foremost
Citizens.
New York, Jan. 2. —It was not until
arrer newas 43 years of age that William
R. Grace, the head and front of the pres
ent anti-Taihmauy anti-Hill movement
among New York Democrats, entered ac
tive political life. He had already made
his fortune and felt that he could there
after afford to devote time, money and
energy to tha' service of the public.
When therefore, it was proposed to him
that he should remove from Brooklyn,
then his place of'residence, to New York
and rnn for mayor, he accepted the prop
osition. The flight was one of the most
bitter in the ailnals of this town. Mr.
Grace was and th a Catholic and a Demo
crat. /
The Republicans nominated William
Dowd, president of the Bank of North
America and a Protestant, and the re
ligion of the two candidates became at
once the live and leading issue in the
campaign. Protestants and Catholics
■were arrayed against each other in most
hostile fashion, and party lines, while not
•obliterated or forgotten, were for the time
largely ignored. Mr. Grace triumphed
at the polls, securing a majority of 3,000
over his opponent. No subsequent mu
nicipal election has been won in New
York by so narrow a margin, nor has
this city had a Republican mayor since
that time.
Love Overcame All.
Mr. Grace is a pronounced Roman
Catholic, but he married a Protestant
Mrs. Grace was born Gilchrist.
Her father was a Maine sea captain, and
he brought up his daughter in the strict
est Baptist faith. Mr. Grace was not
married until past 36—he was born in
1882 and married in 1857 or 1858. He
became acquainted with Captain Gil-

living son, is in his senior yearatColunß
bia college and will probably one day be
the head of the commercial business now
conducted by his father; Richard is pre
paring for others are still

A His Children.
In his home and among his children
Mr. Grace is a boy grown gray. To his
boys he is like an elder brother. With
his girls he is a chum to whom they can
go with all their troubles and perplexi
ties, no matter how seemingly trivial,
sure of as careful consideration as if the
matter were an important question in
politics or business. With them all he
has his frolics, and when a home enter
tainment is to be got up he enters into
the arrangements with all the ardor of
the most youthful, taking quite as act
ive a part in home masquerades or the
atricals or concerts as any of the family.
Yet for this boyish, fun loving, Sympa
thetic father the junior Graces have a
most decided respect.
Though his home rule is conducted
with a velvet hand, it is none the less
thorough. Among the lessons that have
been effectively impressed upon the chil
dren of this family is the value of money.
Their father is so well to do in this
world’s goods (he is said to be five times
a millionaire) that they are denied noth
ing that will conduce to their comfort
or their happiness, but they have been
well taught the folly;. of extravagance

Instate of the system
<< comes with Doctor
J Pierce’s Favorite
™ Prescription. It’s a
medicine prepared
for woman’s. ail
ments — It cures those derangements and weak
nesses which make woman’s life miserable.
A woman who neglects to take proper ex
ercise is particularly prone to excessive con
gestion, debility and a sluggish circulation.
This is the time we advise the “ Prescription.”
In all derangements and displacements of the
special organs which result in “signs of in
flammation," in catarrhal discharges from
the lining membranes, and in distressing
Irregularities this medicine is guaranteed’
so benefit or cure, or the money is returned.
ana tnat parsimomousness is as much to I
be avoided as undue lavishness in ex
penditure.
Mr. Grace has two homes—one at,
Great Neck, N. Y., and the other at the
corner pf Seventy-ninth street and Lex
ington avenue, near Central park, in
New York city. He is especially fond >
of his country place. The residence was •
built fully a century ago, but has been
added to and remodeled so many times
since then that it would scarcely be rec
ognized now by its original owner. It
is surrounded by large grounds on which
a vast amount of time and money and
thought have been laid out, the result
being a complete triumph of the land
scape gardener’s art. Attached is a large
ind well cultivated farm, and to the flue
herd of Jerseys which he has got togeth
er he is so devoted that their care may
properly be said to be his fad, if he has
one outside of his business and politics.
Mr. Grace’s Winter Home.
Mr. Grace’s ■winter home in New York
is a handsome mansion for ■which he
paid $150,000. His stable cost $30,000,
and there he keeps the choicest of his 20
blooded horses during the cold season.
Mr. Grace is himself an accomplished
horseman. Although Mr. i..... -.ir.->.
Grace do not belong to that ultra fash
ionable set of New’ Yorkers ’who are
called by the grace of McAllister the
Four Hundred, they are prominent mem
bers of society, and their home is every
winter the scene of many “functions" of
note. Yet they are not at all exclusive
•in the offensive sense of the term. One
need not be rich nor noted to secure the
friendship of Mrs. Grace. Much time
and attention are devoted by Mrs. Grace
to practical charity.
In business Mr. Grace is systematic
and, as he expresses it, “without senti
ment.” The conduct of 3. commercial
enterprise, he holds, must lie absolutely
cold blooded in order to insure success.
The house of William R. Grace & Co.
invariably declines to subscribe to any
charitable object, no matter how deserv
ing, for its head maintains “this house
is in business, not charity.” But with
William R. Grace the man it is quite
another matter. The subscription that
may be turned away by the concern may
receive the signature of W. R. Grace set
opposite figures representing a very sub
stantial sum. A great proportion of the
money he gives passes through the chari
table organizations of the Roman Catho
lic church, notably the St. Vincent de
Paul society, of which he is an officer.
His Public Services,

Chwelaud's siuv -s.
For some reason,
professes not to understand, he is not at
present persona grata to the administra
tion. His qualities as an organizer in
politics, as in business, are of the highest
order, and his friends predict that his
I movement against Tammany will be a
| potent factor next fall. Mr. Grace, being
[by birth an Irishman, is naturally great
fcly interested in the home rule movement
Rind has in times past contributed liber
ally to its cause.

BIMETALLISM IN ENGLAND.
Lord Salisbury’s Recent Speech and What
It Is Thought to Forecast.
Lord Salisbury’s speech in the upper
house during the debate on Indian finance
is regarded as a definite pronouncement
in favor of international bimetallism. It
is possibly destined to have momentous
consequences. Sanguine bimetallists pre
dict the early inclusion of their currency
scheme as a plank of the orthodox Tory
platform, but that is scarcely probable
until the numerous Tory monometallists
have been converted.
The subject acquired considerable
prominence in the Accrington election
contests, but that is scarcely to be won
dered at, because Lancashire has long
been the stronghold of bimetallism.
Even the Liberal newspapers of that
county are compelled, owing to the .pres
sure of local opinion, to keep an open
mind on currency matters, and some of
them at present are giving considerable
space to the discussion of the silver prob
lem.
The Liverpool Post, an influential Lib
eral organ, gave prominence the other
day to a letter advocating the adoption
by England and her dependencies and the
United States of a second, or silver, in
ternational standard, without relation to
the first, or gold, standard, “all contracts '
made through gold currency being set- ,
tied by gold currency and all contracts
made by the international dollar cur
rency being settled by the international
dollar currency, the latter being the sil
ver dollar divisible into 100 cents.”—New
York Sun’s London Letter.
Women always show more taste in
adorning others than themselves, and
the reason is that their persons are like
their hearts—they read another's.hetter
than they can their own.—Jean Paul.
Woman is like the reed which bends
to every breeze, but breaks not in the
tempest. —Whately.
Woman’s function is a guiding, not
a determining, one.—Ruskin,

A CHAMPION HUNTER. I
It Was Better for Packs, Than the Best >
Retriever.
[Special Correspondence.]
NoyaC, N. Y., Dec. 28. —A week or two
since I happened to be at Noyac, which
is on the Little Peconic bay, and dropped
in on some old friends, who kindly in
vited me to remain for the kind of old
fashioned first class dinner peculiar to
this dear old out of the way place.
“I notice, Sam, that the wild ducks
are pretty plentiful already,” I said after
I had seated myself.
“Do you call them thick?” replied Sam
with a smile. “Why, there are not enough
yet to make it worth while going out.
There are just enough for sportsmen who
like to knock around for their health all
day. But down here we don’t notice
them until we can gather them in l as-,
kets.”
“How in the world do you manage
that?”
“Well,” replied Sam, who is the cham
pion duck hunter of Noyac, “that can
only be done when the ducks are very
thick. I have seen them so thick that
they were standjpg on the shore three
deep in layers. When they are as thick
as this, we go out at night and fire a
gun off, and then the ducks get panic
stricken and fly in every zigzag way you
can think of. Os course they bunk into
each other and lots of them fall to the
ground dead. Then we send the boy out I
early in the morning with a basket, and ■
he gathers them like mushrooms.”
I saw the champion hunter was on his
favorite subject, so said nothing to turn
his thoughts into a different channel.
“But the hunting is not what it used
to be when I was a boy,” resumed the
gunner as he stroked his mustache and
smiled in childish glee, “for I go back
before breeshlpaders. - -JYlExat one time
the rabbits were so thick around here
that they would come into the kitchen
and fall asleep in the rocking chair. You
never saw such tame rabbits. They
would go into the hennery, and the little
chickens would crawl under them to get
warm. Why, they were so tame that I
have often stepped on them in the dark
when going out for a pail of water. But
I’ll never forget poor old J. Henry Cae
sar.”
“Who was he?” I asked.
“My trained snapping turtle. I had
him trained to catch wild ducks when I
didn’t feel well enough to go out.”
“How in the world did the turtle ever
catch the ducks?” 1 asked, sorely puz
zled at so absurd a i'liug. . __
“Why, very simply,” replied

“The man had a disease of

a physician in Buffalo, who found it nec-

Table holo

coveringof skin over
thr .1 could not have the
action of the heart is observable, and one
can put his hand through the opening in i
the chest and feel the heart at work.”
The professor was unwilling to say i
much about the case, which he said was
of special interest only to medical men.
He said it was an extraordinary case
and was worthy of being made the sub
ject of a medical treatise. He under
stood that the man was traveling about
the country exhibiting himself to physi
cians for a small consideration.
“He came to me,” he added, “and I
examined him and gave him a small
sum. He then went away, and Ido not
know where he is now.”
Another physician said that the hole
was about 3 inches square and that three
ribs had been cut in the operation. He
said also that an opening similar to the
one in the chest existed in the man’s
back, under the heart.—New York Sun.
