PEOPLE OF THE DAY.
A campaign of philanthropy Is ome
thing new In politics, but that la prac
tically what Pennsylvania in experienc
ing just now. Mr. P. A. B. Widener,
tho groat street oar magnate of Phila
delphia, is uaid to bo a candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor,
and he Is making a bid for popularity
by scattering pnblio benefactions with a
princely hand.
Mr. Widener recently began his cam
paign by announcing that he intended
to give his magnificent city residence,
valued at 1600,000, to Philadelphia to
to tifled as a branoh of the free library

P, A. B. WIDKNEB.
systora. lie further stated that he was
prepared to spend 1400,000 in fitting it
up for the purpose and hanging fine
works of art on the walls. He is to turn
the building over to the library trus
tees within a year after his new country
house is completed.
This generous gift Mr. Widener fol
lows with the statement that he is to be
one of fonr men who are to give $30, -000
each toward the construction of a
suitable building for a museum of art
and that when it is built he will donate
his collection of art treasures, valued at
(500,000, to the prospective museum.
Victoria Woodhull Again.
The announcement that Victoria
Woodhull-Martin is soon to revisit this
country and the accompanying rumor
that she is to marry a rich western
mine owner recalls the wonderfully in
teresting career of this remarkable wo
man. It was nearly 30 years ago that
the Claflin sisters, Victoria and Tennes
see, or "Teunie" as she is more famil
iarly known, began to attract attention.
Chicago knew them "before the fire."
Later they appeared in New York. Vic
toria had thon had two husbands and
: : I,
VICTORIA WOODHCLL-MARTIN.
had married Mr. Woodhull, who figures
but inconspicuously in her history. The
sisters astonished the publio by opening
a broker's office in Wall street and pub
Jiihing a newspaper. Victoria became a
famous lecturer and startled society by
advocating woman's rights, social re
form and a sort of free love theory. They
prospered for a time, but finally went
to England. There the sisters began a
still more brilliant career and ended by
marrying rich men. Victoria became
the wife of John Biddulph Martin, a
wealthy banker, and Tennie wedded Sir
Francis Cook. Since then both have
been prominent in philanthropic enter
prises.. Mr. Martin died last March,
lowing all his fortune to his wife.
