General Gaines, who in his youth, and upon

joyed the friendship other father. In his
efforts to leaan from her how he could best
contribute to vindicate her rights, made to
her proposal Of marriage, which were accept.
ed. The evidence and the law were ably
and e~Ioquently summed up and presented to
the Court by her counsel, Grymes, Chinn,
and Peyton, and by Mr.. McHenry on the
part of the defendants. The decree Of the
Court fully sustained the rights of the plaintiff
under the will of 1918, and ordered that the
property sold under the will Of 1911 should
be restored to Myra Clark Gaines. the only
child Of Daniel Clark, and his legitimate and
lawful heiress.
This decree cannot but remind the parties
concerned Of the maxim, that 'God protects

From the Philadelphia U. S. Ga.eite.
PAINFUL CIRCUMSTANCE.

On the Goth Of March last, Mr.. Jacob
May, of Lawrenceville, Illinois, arrived at
Philadelphia, and put up at the Red Lion Ho-
tel, in Market street. Mr.. M. is a partner
in two commercial houses in the West, and
he soon called on his friends in Philadelphia.
He stated incidentally that he had been quite
sick on MS passage hither, once in Cincinnati
and once in Pittsburg, and he had not recov-
cred from those severe bilious attacks. Mr..
Nay added that he had drafts on New York
which he must negotiate himself in that city
after which he should return and attend to
business in Philadelphia.
The friends and correspondents Of Mr..
May in Philadelphia, were subsequently sur
prised that they neither saw nor heard from
him, but of course could take 10 steps direct
" in the matter. The first intimation which
they had Of his arrival in New York was
from one of his partners, Mr.. Mclean, who
had received in illinois the following letter
from Mr.. May, dated, it will be seen three
days after he left Philadelphia:
New York, LIST April, 1910.
Dear Jesse, David and wife:-l got here
on Sunday night, and did not feel so well,
and Monday | was worse, and had to send
for the Doctor; and got a man to obtain a
house for me almost Out of town, (the street
is called Charles street) as the noise in town
almost killed me.
The doctor says that he don't know wheth-
er | shall get well or not, and am fearful
myself ! shall not. He says he can have
me to 60 about he thinks in twenty days,
and if he does, l will 60 to Philadelphia and
stay, as l can have some one 10 call on me
and know the people there. ldon't know
any one here. and they don't take much
care of me. The lady is a good woman, but
the rest don't mind me at all. Yesterday !
had nv drafts sent to Mr.. Crooks, President
of the American Fur Company, to be accep-
