You will remember that Mrs. Drake Mills
fell ftom fourth story window In Washing.
ton few days since, aud was fatally fiDj'r-
ed. Thereby hangs a tale of iutercst.--
Drake Mills was retired merchant OF New
York, wealthy and Of high social position.
She was born 10 Williamstown, Mass, was
connected with the first New England fami-
lies, and after her marriage, bright light
10 society. They bad an only daughter
named Alice, who possessed many OF the
brilliant social qualities of her mother
During the war, to the surprise of her friends
aud the intense disgust Of her mother, she
became enamered with Fernando Wood,
then o widower. 10 time they were mar
ried, and an alienation in the family result
ed. The father took the part of Fernando,
aud when he died he disinberited his only
son, Henry Edward, for his hostility 10
Wood. Henry thereupon bad his name
changed by q legislature act from Drake to
Sutton, the maiden name Of bis mother. -
Neither aud son kept wholly aloot from Mr..
Wood and his wife, and ,steadfastly refused
to recegnizs them. Mrs. Drake spent her
winters at the capital because of her fond
ness for Washington society, but always
ignored Fernando. She possessed q large
property, and up TO her death lived 10 roy
al style. Now comes the remarkable part
of the story. Prior TO her death she made a
will, which contains the following provis.
ions:
l. 1t stipulates that the portraits and
paintings of every description shali be Civ
en- to an institution in Washington, in or der
that they may not be desecrated by the
hands of Fer nando Wood.
2. She bequeathed one gold dollar to be
daughter, Mrs. Wood, and Que TO each o
her children.
3. The interes: on oil her property Is to
be given TO her con Edward during bis life
time.
4. Upon Edwards death onesfourth o
ber property is TO be given to her lawyer,
one.feurth to son OF Mr.. Mills by former
wife, and one.fourth to Williams College,
Massac cbusetts, all in full possession.
.. Finally, her executors are enjoined by
the will 10 be published in full in the New
York Herald as an advertisement.
