Military School.

In army circles there is considerable in
terest manifested over project which
is reputed to be formed in high official
circles. 1t is nothing less than move
toward the establishment of military
school. a second West Point in the west.
Owing TO the jealousies which would be
aroused between cities anxious to se-
cure the school, should its establishment
be determined upon, the discussion OF
its exact location at the present mo-
mcnt would be unwise; but that a re-
commentator will be made from Of
fetal circles for school of this kind,
its location to be decided after its estab-
ment is agreed on, is more than proba-
BILE. 1t is move in the right direction
and would be simply proper recognition
of the interests of the west.

Miss Melfon,s Will.

As Miss Carrie Welton. the wealthy
young Connecticut lady who was re-
| Gently frozen to death on Pixies Peak,
left a will bequeathing nearly all her
property to the New York Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
her relatives have the strongest reasons
to believe her insane The sisters.
| cousins and aunts who have been made
the recipients of finger rings, old
clothes, wellworn books, pictures, easy
chairs and other mementoes of little
value in secondhand stores think that
their eccentric relative is not preventing
cruelty to animals by giving all her
ready money to public institutions, and
they will contest her viii on the ground
that it is against public policy as well
as that the testator's mind was unsound.
1t must be admitted that the young
lady whose fondness for adventure
led her to climb Pixies Peak without an
escort, save guide previously unknown
to her, gave strong indications of a pc
cular if not a disordered intellect. Miss
WelIon persisted in her foolish exploit
because her companion deserted her
on the mountain. and she was helpless
in the snowstorm then prevailing. Her
relatives were deeply panied by her
death, but the anguish then manifested
was of small account in comparison with
their feelings after reading her will.
The result of an indignation meeting
held soon after the perusal of this impor-
tant document is suit to set aside the
will and devide the property under the
statute. Maiden ladies with large es-
tates who do not want their crotchety
and cranky notions exploited in public
by Borrowing relatives will do we'll to
avoid making such wills as that left by
the Connecticut dame.
