The Beuexlict Property.

It is thought that the late Charles H. Ben- edict, of Waterbury died intestate he left no will with his attorney, and none has been found among his private. papers Various reports placed his wealth at almost any fig ure between $60o, 600 and $4, 900, 900, but it is probably unknown at present, by any, how much cash value is represented by the nu- merous sources of income which he owned or controlled in life. It is more than probable that his property will inventory within few thousands of $70O, 900; this the law will dis tribute equally between his remaining daugh- ters, excepting the ''third, " of which his widow will have the use during her life.

A Lucky ParsOn.

L The Rev. DR.. N. w. Conkling, pas
tor of the Rutgers Presbyterian. Church,
New York City, has recently arrived in
San Francisco to enjoy season of rest
and recreation. His lines seem to have
fallen in unusually pleasant places. After
a very successful pastorate in the Arch
Street Church, Philadelphia, hewas called,
twelve years ago, to the Rutger Street
Church, where he at once became i'm
mensely popular not only with his own
congregation, but with other .denomina-
tons. A wealthy Episcopalian widow,
who became interested in his preaching,
has been very bountiful to him and his
family. She sent him, his wife, and
daughter to Europe, paying all the ex-
penses of the trip. On his return he
found that she had bought and fur
nished mansion for him at a cost of
$4,000, and not content with that, She
presented Mrs. Conkling, who is said to
be not one bit jealous, 500, 900 in Gov.
eminent bonds.-San Francisco Chron.

Dancing Pilgrims of Germany.

Not far from those places of rendez.
vous for all nations of the civilized
world a spectacle has been attracting
the curiosity of thousands, which leads
US back to the depths of the Middle
Ages, although it is repeated year by
year. l am speaking of the village Of
Echternach and its far-famed dancing
procession. I..fr.......... ....,.a y
From 15,000to 10000 pilgrims assem-
Bile onsome meadows within Prussian ter
ritory, but close to the confines of the
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The in
habitants of different villages men and
women apart-collect behind their cler
gyman, and a band of musicians is
placed in the front. AS the clock strikes
i've on Tuesday morning in Whitsuntide
priest walks up the steps of rude
wooden pulpit, and thence addresses the
multitude, then already swollen to an
incredible extent by sight-seers, who
| come by special trains and every mag
Unable vehicle to be present at the per-
formances.
The community which happens to be
nearest the road stands forth, preceded
by their priest who, however, does not
dance. Two men or two women hop
away first, two steps in advance, and
then one backward, the band playing a
most monotonous tune. "Abraham
had seven sons, seven sons; seven sons
had Abraham are the words of this
terrible melody, which each successive
set, as they join the procession, take
up with increasing vigor. Hour after
hour passes away before the last people
have started on their miles of way to
the foot of the Church of st. Willebrod,
when they go up fifty steps, round and
round the altar, and finally descend the
fifty steps. ....-.
Nothing can exceed the excitement
and exhaustion among the dancers, old
and young. Great are the numbers Of
those who, in spite of an occasional
draught of water offered by charitable
bystanders, sink down on the grass or on
the dusty road not to rise for hours.
The question is naturally asked: What
does all this mean? The answer is
1t is intended to perpetuate the remem-
brance of frightful epidemic of ST..
Vitus' Dance, which carried off hun
dreds of victims in the neighborhood re-
ferred to sometime during the fifteenth
century; to offer up prayers and VOWS
to the patron saints; to recognize a
miraculous cessation of the epidemic,
and it is ful6llment of vows there made
that, in gratitude, there should be yearly
dances performed-two hops forward
and one backward, as closely resem bling
the visitation from which Heaven had
delivered them as rhythm and good
taste would allow.
During the French occupation in 1898
the procession was forbidden, but the
easy-going Dutch Government of Lux.
embourg have allowed it to be revived.
