MIR. Berghs Society.
Miss Carrie Weiton, the lady whose
sad death upon Longs Peak attracted
80 much attention recently, has left her
fortune, amounting, it is stated, to be-
tween 100000 and $4,000, to the Soci-
ETY. for the Prevention of Cruelty to An
imals. Henry Bergh, the president OF
the society, said yesterday to New
York reporter: "The matter is deli
cate one, on which feel much hesitation
in speaking, as the will has not yet
been opened. Exactly what its contents
are cannot say and l have taken pains
not to learn, as | am the sole executor
and at the same time the person most
interested in the disposition which Miss
Welton has made of her property. l
have always, however, been warm
personal friend and admirer of Miss
Welton and have long kno II what her
intentions were with regard to her for
tune. She was extremely fond of all
animals, but especially of horses. She
was most graceful and intrepid horse
woman, and delighted in equestrian cN-
erclse. Last week | made visit to
Waterbury, Miss Weltons's home, and
made arrangements with her surviving
relatives for the reading of the will,
which Will probably take place some
day during the present week."
"a bout how large is the estate?'
"As | tell you, have taken pains not
to inform myself of tho contents of the
will, but have good ground tor beliey-
ing that our society will receive nearly
$250,0O0. This is the largest sum that we
have ever received, although far
larger amount will soon come to us
from another will. OF this, however, l
am not at liberty to speak now"
ado you expect that the will will be
contested?"
II earnestly hope not, and have good
reasons for believing that we shall be
spared all litigation. The mother is the
only heir-at-law, and although at one
time l feared a possible contest, my
fears have now been removed"

to ram down fresh cartridge on top of

Finally the green soldier discovers
that he is not hurt, and that everybody

To the veteran it is far different. He
