Mary Victoria Leiter was born in Chichgo, May 29, 1870, at the Leiter homestead, which at that time was located oa Michigan Terrace, where the Auditorlum nowstands. Short ly after her birth her father built a home on Calumet avenue, in which the family lived until their removal to Washington in 1880. Up to that timo Mr. Leiter was actively engaged {n business in Chicago, and Mary Vivtorin Leiter was receiving an edu- cation from private tutors and gov- ernesses, When Mr. Leiter withdrew from his Chicago enterprise the family home was removed to Washington, where Miss Leiter grew to young woman- hood. While her childhood was an extremely simple one, her education was acquired from the best instruc- tors, and at anearly age she was proficient in the French and German languages and music, and familiar with art. Up to the time of her for- mal introduction to the soctal world of Washington she led the life of a schoolgirl, They were married April 25, 1895, at St. John’s Church, in Washing- ton. After the wedding Mr. and Mrs, Curzon returned to England and took up their residence in London. Mrs. Curzon has always been prom- inent in the soctal life of her adopt- ed country, butit ts sald that the American girl has infected her hus- band with the fdeas of her native land instead of becoming entirely Anglicised herself. In 1898 Curzon was.made Viceroy of India. Family is Making 50,000 Mile Auto Tour of the World. Philadelphia, July 23.—A 50,000. mile automobile trip of the country more than half completed, George M.

Then the trip back again will be begun through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. He expects to finish the 50,000 miles by next New Year’s eve at Chicago, the original starting point.

Warrensburg Star. Dr. L.C. Miller, of Knob Noster, served with his brother under Quan- trell during the early part of thecivil war and was the oldest member of his command. The Doctor is nowa well preserved man of seventy-seven, amply able to give attention to a large practice, which he has held for many years Quantreil left behind him no more sincere anu earnest ad- mirer than Dr. Miller. He is nota talkative man, but he sometimes telle a good story, which, he says, is illustrative of Quantreli’s devotion to his men and his skill and coolness in action. One of these stories is as follows: “It was ata fight we had near Wellington in the summer of *62. I lets camp about noon and went over to B. A. Keen's, who lived nearby. They were just sitting down to dinner ard asked me to join them, Tremoved my plstol belt and hung it in the hall, my horse having been left hitched near the front gate. We had hardly begun to eat, when a member of the family looked out through the window and exclaimed: ‘Here comes the Federals.’ Sure enough, there they were, galloping night up to the house. I grabbed my pistols and ran out through the back door across a little opening and into a deep ravine, through which I made my escape. When I reached our camp, the first question that arose was as to another horee, as the Federals had captured mine at Keen’s. Somebody said there was a black mare tn the pasture of Jin Roberts, who Iived in the neigh! borhood, but that nobody could ride her. We were expecting a fight in a short time and I determined to take my chances with the black mare. When I called at the house, Mra. Roberts sald I could have her if Ivould ride her, but that she was Gtraid she would break my neck. I éaught her easily enough, puta big atiff bit in her mouth and cinched her up until she almost raised off the ground. Then I put ona pair of sharp spurs, to!d the boys to hold her and I mounted. When I was well seated, I sald ‘Let her go’ and clapped the spurs right into her sides. She jumped like a flying fish and went off like a whirlwind, but I stuck to her and got her into camp. We went out to meet the Federals that afternoon and, after a short skirmish, they started toretreat. As soon as they turned to gallop away, my black mare started after them. I pulled and pulled until her mouth was in a redfoam, butshe wentright on andI saw that she would seon land me in the Federal lines. I pull- ed my revolver and made a resolve to sell ‘my life as dearly as possible, for I supposed they would kill me. Just then I heard some one coming up behind me. I looked and it was Quantrell. He dashed up by my aide and, saying, ‘Old man, where are you going?’ seized the rein of my bridle close to the bit and pulled the head of the mare around and start- ed the other way. She went all right aod ran as fast to join our men as she had to join the Federals. Us was @ handsome act on the part of Quan- trell, donein his usually cool and undemonstrative manner. He was equal to the emergency.” Market Days. The fact that Clinton isto soon have her fires “sale day,” gives especial interest to the following from the last fesue of the Trade Journal: On June the 11th, the merchants at Atwater, Minn., held the first market day, and whata day it was.
