CHARCTER STUDY. . 4——— Sketch of the Leader of the Antl-Taifirhany Movement. T T 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- 1 W. \ RtSgl ’ Wml WILLIAM in Lima.

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 @A PRETTY FACE is the result of a healthy physical condition. “Beau ts ty is but skin deep" . yet it greatly de li pends on a clear . complexion, free 3 from wrinkles and hollow cheeks. Health always /x,brings wealth of 1 beauty. A healthy 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, Mr. Grace’s services as a public official incumbency >i" <1 •>nl .1 i 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. 1 In person Mr. Grace is slightly below ■he medium height. He has the round Kid sturdy build of a man in excellent Balth. He wears a mustache and goatee, Hiich are turning gray. In his carriage Kis erect. His eyes have all the flash ■d fire of youth, and when he talks his. Krds are well chosen and diregßßfcggii a good fighter and posseraes ties which make determined enemies as well as devoted friends. He wears a No. 7i hat. I. D. Marshall. 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, THE tfOMEtTRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY MOBNIJNG, JAAUAEY'd, 18L4. 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 withasmil ■>!' pL ■:iv.• ;:t glllyiß .ftig U .* J s >: l oiti-n id'i:i< i i .1- : . f “The man had a disease of some time ago and was operated upon a physician in Buffalo, who found it nec- remove a part of the chest on Table holo in his chest. some 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. “I have used Salvation Oil for froß'cd feet and backache and found r to be ;he beet remedy and cure for pain ou ph; th.
