THE ODD WINANS FAMILY. ‘Their Great Wealth, Their Costly Man- sions, and Their Many Peculiarities, From the Chicago Tribune. Forty years ago in Baitimore lived two brothers, ‘Thomas and William Winans. They were both raflroad engineers and both men of natural genius, although far from cuitivated or scientific engi- neers. They had both made money, and they be- gan to foresee the future of railway butkting in Russia, About that time the czar drew that cele- brated pencil-mark across the map from St. Peters- burg to Moscow as a route fora projected railroad. ‘The story 1s well known, but 1s short enough to Tepeat here. After all the engineers had given their views of the best practicable Toute between the two cities before the czar and the council of state, Nicholas took up a drawing a perfectly straight line by it across the map St. Petersburg to Moscow, handed it to them as the final route for the’ railroad. ‘The Russians had recourse toforeign engineers, and the Winans took up the work. ‘The road was successfully lad, and @ great fortune was secured to them, Dut’ it was hot until 1861 that a locomotive was built which was a complete success. In those days Russian locomotives burnt wood altogether, and it was only after seventeen Years of experiments that that the right kindof a locomotive was built, But from then on their fortunes began to be colossal. Thomas had married the daughter of a Russian shopkeeper. She died leaving him two children— Koss Winans, of Baltimore, and Celeste, now mar- Hed to Mr. Hutton, a young ‘Engitehagan 10, the diplomatic service. ’ William had married an Eng- lish Woman of the middle class, and returned to England to enjoy his wealth. Since the tme that, he first crossed the ocean_on his way to Russia in 1844 William Winans has never returned to this country. In both brothers a strain of eccentricity early developed itself, and in William 1t took the form of a nervous dread of crossing the ocean, Never did any American become so thoroughly Weaned from his country. He often says that he Would not cross the Atlantic for a million sterling, nor is he even willing that his two sons, Walter and Louts, shall. Mr. Winan’s manner of enjoying his money ts at least unique. He has but one taste, but_one aj tude, but one employment in the world, and that 1s in building models of steam vessels after original designs. | ‘This propensity in ‘Thomas Winans caused him to be called the “cigar-boat man,” and &@ good many people thought. he was a’ little touched on the subject. He had a conviction that he could build a boat In the shape of a cigar that would distance any and everything afloat, and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in bufiding them. He launched several, and they always turned bottom upward as soon as they touched water, which was exactly what all sclentific men Predicted. But old Thomas was bluff, rich, deter- Mined, and not possessed of any sclontine prin ciples to trouble him, so he rode his hobby up to the day of his death, although he became very sensitive about it. He was devoted to seeing Lydia ‘Thompson in the heyday of her i the Wicked Lydia always introduced a couplet into her songs referring to the wonderful cigar boat, at which he would get up in great wrath and. quit the theater. William, seeing how bis brother became sport for the scientists, has kept his experiments as much in the dark as possible, but he continues, a8 much from the force of habit as anything else, to work every day on this queer model, although his income, according to his own acknowl 1s between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 yearly. This ntic sum, Which makes him, next to the cothsehilds abd the Duke of Westminster, the Tichest_man in England, he spends freely, but neither he nor bis family have any way of spend- ing all this vast amount. His housein Ke Palace Garden is extremely handsome. A noble carriage drive leads up to the door of the engineer prince. ‘The entrance hail 1s lofty, and the two ‘vast drawing rooms are superb. A charming effect is produced by & vast sheet of plate glass separat- ing the two rooms, beside which fs an archway giving communication between the two. ‘The car- pet once laid there had a history. A magnificent one was designed and woven at Axminster ex- pressiy for the main drawing room. After 1t was laid Mr. Winans did not like it, so he had another one made. When the second one came the ques- Yon was what todo with the frst, Mr. Winans thought a moment or two. “Just put it down over the first,” he sald, as if struck with a sudden solution. SoNo 2 Which jad cost hundreds of pounds, was put down with No. 1, which had hundreds of pounds, for a lining; and Mr. Winans, had the most expensive floor covering in’ London. Mrs. Winans is an excellent and unpretending woman who cares but little for society. She prefers her home at Brighton to either the London house or the Scoteh shooting box, as they call their In- verness-shire place, for which they pay $35,000 a year. At Brighton Mrs. Winans has established a School where sixteen girls are educated and pro- vided for, Mrs. Winans takes great interest in them, and after leaving the school she starts them in lifé, and does not lose sight of them. ‘Mr.’ Winans, too, likes Brighton best, and 1s always more dr less bored in London. “They do not entertain a great deal, but during the season give a few dinners and one or two crush entertain ments. favorite method of entertaining with them 4s to have morning concerts at which. they have Patt, and Nilsson, and Albani, and all the highest priced song birds to warble. Mr. Winans protesses to have no taste for anybody's musicexcept Patt's, Ather frst appearance at St. Petersburg he $1,000 for the first choice of boxes, at which a Frenchman remarked that Mr. Winans might have and heard Patel sing a as the case would inevitably be. ‘The elder, Walter, married in opposition to iis father's wishes, who, although to be pres- ent at the ceremony, has long since forgiven the young couple. Mr. Winanshad social ambitiona, ‘and Wanted his children to marry tnto titled fami lea. But the young men, who care more for tures and American trotters than anything declined to oblige him. ‘The deer forest which has so particularly exasperated the press against him, 1s certainly conducted on indefensible principles.

He | professes to be more entertained by the circ hext to Pats sinying, than any other form of ‘amusement.

An Augusta, Me., dispatch to the Boston Globe, dated January 17, says: There resides in this city, na small house on “Sand Hill,” so called, a man by the name of Thomas Steves. He is now about 45 years of age and small of stature. He isacar- penter and 1s at present employed in the car works of the Maine Central railroad in this city. Ordi- narily Mr. Steves would pass th life without attracting any particular attentioh, though he is by no means a man of mediocrity, but is rather above the average in human intelligence, Were it not, however, that he is a first cousin to Mrs, Em- mons, whose spicy sensation is just now attracting universal attention, he might go on in the even tenor of his way hewing timbers and finishing cars without so much as a ‘thought from the outside wor! pena a a ie Ser in the famous wife of Prof. Emmons, and Mr. Steves ‘was discovered and induced to tefl what he knew about his cousin Weltha Ann, which he did in the following interesting manner? MR, STEVES’ STORY. “Mrs Emmons is my own coustn, her mother and my father being brother and sister. Some twenty-six years ago both our families lived near by in the town of Moncton, N. B., just at the head of the Bay of Fundy. Weltha, as we all called her, was but a child then, but she was always a bright, ‘Interesting girl. Everybody liked her and she be- came a great favorite.

Weltha ‘disliked him ‘before inar- Tiage, and afterwards she fairly despised him. “So strong was her dislike for him that, in’ less than two weeks after the wedding she left him and went to New York. There she became ac- quatnted with Mr. Munson, to whom she told the story of her marriage to Tilley. He told her sl should get a divorce from lin when she ‘would jome for tI obtaining v Heo FB hor ae ha MARRIED ANOTHER WOMAN, ‘ndhad gone into the woods where he was en- gaged tn clearing up a farm.

Then she compelled him to sign papers agreeing not to oppose her sult for divorce. he then returned home, and shortly after ob- tained her bill of divorce. “Munson came on from New York and they were married.

Munson came to Portland to meet her and she went there, met him, and they began traveling again.

She is no more insane than you are, and there never has been a Particle of insanity in any of our families on either side. Her people, like my own, were honest, industrious, hard-working folks, but they are all respectable, and not a mean act can be laid to their doors.’ Weltha was the best looking woman I ever saw. She was always a bright, act- ive girl, fond of joking, and was continually’ play- Ang games upon me just for the fun of it.

She appears just like her old self in that story. You may be certain that she is not by any means insane and knows just as well What sheis doing and has done as any person could know.” ——__+e-____ Abolish Child Labor. PROF. ADLER'S TALK ON FACTORY PACES AND THE MO- LOCH OF THR MINES AND MILLS. From the N. ¥. Sun, Jan.17tb. “«In the American coal fields,” Prof. Felix Adler ‘said to the Ethteal Culture society in Chickering hall, “child labor is seen under its worst con- ditions. Boys from 4 to 16 years of age are em- ployed in various duties around the mines. ‘They Pick slate, drive mules, and help adults in the 200.t0 700 feet, doomed to hard labor in a damp, poisonous a8 if they were working ‘Out the penalty tor saute azrtul crime, Prof. Adler contended that such conditions ren- dered work, which, under favorable circumstances, ‘a boon and a pleasure to @ healthy being, a curse and an inhuman injustice.

As machinery and steam applied to manufactures increased the em- ployment of women and children steadily in- creased. Thety labor was found to be available for Uhe purposes, and was a great deal ees In- deed, the wages paid, as compared with old prices, Prot Adler sald, was a pitiful pittance. ‘The certain tendeney of all this would be to destroy human health, family relations, andsociety itself, unless steps were taken promptly to relieve it. Instant remedial legislation was demanded. Frofesaing Christians would belle the principles of thelr faith if they did not bestir themselves to force the enaction of such legislation. Child-labor should be entirely abol ‘and the compulsory education law should be enlarged so that the children taken from the factory should get, benefit of a thorough schooling. ‘This schooling itself should embrace a manual t in the use Of tools, so that the child might acquire the skill that would enable it to earn higher wages when it did go back to Work. Prof. Adler was careful to say that by manual training he did not by any means mean training in specific trades. It would be woful day if the public schools were ever changed to trade schools.

Miss Mary Baker, known as the fasting girl of White county, Ind., who lives with her stepfather, Louls Winter, near the village of Buffalo, has taken nothing into her stomach for twelve weeks. Her fastings began with a relapse from an illness which she had a year ago, from which she never fully recovered. She slept for five days and nights, and since awakening from the long sleep she has rarely been able to retain food or medicine upon her stomach, even water being generally ejected a8 soon as’ swallowed. Her mother and several others who have watched her are confident that nothing has entered her stomach for more than eighty days. Morphine is administered subcuta- neously every four hours and gives immediate re- lle producing at once almost the appearance of pereon in health. Her face has the usual temper- ature of a healthy person, but the warmth of her arms is barely perceptible. ‘The lower part of the body and her legs are exceedingly wasted, At irregular intervals she suffers intense agony from Spasmnodic contractions of the muscles, finding some relief trom a brisk rubbing of the part affected.

About thirty years ago the Rev. Mr. Durham, a Methodist clergyman, went from London, England, as missionary to an Indian tribe near Fort gimpson, British Columbia. ‘This st 1s upon the Pacific, and upon the inlet which vides Columbia from’Alaska, ‘The Indians were then cannibals.

Application has been made by Mr. Durham, who is in Washington, for permission to have the Indians move over into Alaska. Senators Teller and Plumb have advised That they move at once without watting for ofl- cial permission, as they are sure to be given a lace to live.
