AN INTERESTING Will CASE.


a Few Facts Rotating TO a Past Period.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-An interesting
will case, with a flavor OF old-tIme gossip,
is now before the Surrogate. A spinster
who had passed the Psalmlst's limit OF
human life, Miss Catharine Henrietta
Marx, died last February, and by her will
bequeathed her entire property to Rev.
Charles William Morrill,, rector Of the
Ritualistic Church at st. Albans. The

greyhounds, and escorted by the swells Of

city By their wealth and taste; and what
they did for their sex, their brother,
Harry Marx, did for the men. IL was with

Trinity church, where the girls attended.
Admiration spoiled the girls, and they
never married. neither did their brother.
In their old age they became religious
zealOts, and an older sister, who died
about three years since, left the bulk Of
her property 10 a Rituallstic preacher who

in society "a "Dandy" Marx, and his sole

OLEvELANp,s MESSAGE.
Getting tho White House Ready for the
Winter Festivities.

Winter Festivities.
WASHINGTON, Nov 15.-It Is under
stood that the Presidents message, upon
which he has been hard at work for two
weeks, is approaching completion. 1t is
st7ted that he expects to have it com
pleted by Thanksgiving Day. No one
outside OF the White House knows any
thing about its prospective contents. This
fact does not preclude the usual Idle
guessing about them.
THE WHITE HOUSE RENOVATED.
The White House is now in gala dress
and all in order for the winter festivities.
The Eastern rugs are upon the floors Of
the drawing room suite, the draperies Of
lace and damask are at the windows. and
the pictures and bric-a-brac are all In
place. The only change in Arrangement
from that Of last year is the substitution
OF eX-President Arthur's life-size por-
trait by d. Huntington, in the red paror.
for that OF Gen. Grant. The portrait Of
Grant has been given a conspicuous place
In the red corridor. The state dining
room is in order, aud the centre piece and
candelabra have been laid upon the large
table. The conservatory has received the
final touches from the hands OF the head
florist, and the "GrOver Cleveland"
Chrysanthemum, a large, slOOse-petaled
white flower has been given the place or
honor.

RUSSIA FAVORABLE TO BULGARIA.
VIENNA, Nov. l5.-The newspapers
here express the hope that the Servo
Bulgarian war will be localized, but they
admit that Russian interests are opposed
TO those of Austria. Austria. they say, is
cound to support Servia. while Russia is
inclined to ward Bulgaria, as is evident
from the fact that she has permitted the
expectation of 100000 cartridges from
Iula to Bulgaria, having hitherto pro-
hibited their shipment.

NEW CONTINENTAL SUNDAY.

BY new law which has just taken
effect, all trade labor on Sunday in
Vienna is henceforth prohibited, the
object being to give q days recrea-
ton to the industrial classes. No
work is allowed between 6 A. NJ. on
Sunday and the same hour on Mon
day morning, though exceptions
may be granted by the minister of
commerce to trade or business whose
interruption would interfere with the
convenience of the public in traffic
or consumption, and also in cases of
iron-works, mills, etc., in which
serious loss would be entailed by
complete cessation of labor. The
public vehicles, however, are about
as usual, and the coffee houses, res
taurants, and becr-houses are open
and overcrowded by workmen, who
for the first time have their full
Sundays rest. 1t is calculated that
in Vienna about $4,000 people arc
freed from Sunday work by the new
law, the majority of whom on Sun
day go with their families into the
suburbs, where the beer-gardens, as
well as the railways, tramways, and
omnibuses reap an abundant harvest

INTERESTING CLERICAL TALK.
EprCATING CHINESE, LErROsY, AND
INTEEMARRIAGE IN HAWAII.


Rev. w. G. Merritt, president of
the Oahu College, at Honolulu, adj
dressed the Congregational Club
yesterday on the subject of religious
and educational work in the Sand
witch Islands. He declared that the
situation there was not altogether
satisfactory, and said about the only
hope was that some day the islands
might come under the flag of the
Union, and become home missionary
fields. The Hawaiian Government
sustains three kinds of schools
first, the native, where the native
language is taught by poorly educat-
ed natives; second, those in which
the natives are taught by English
teachers, and third, those in which
the children of foreigners are taught
by English-speaking teachers. The
native schools are free, the second
class pay nominal rental and the
English schools, which arc very
good, charge fifty cents u month tut
ton. lie then described the private
schools, of which there are eight or
ten. A large estate, valued at over
hall million dollars, will soon be
available for school purposes.
One great problem to deal with is
intermarriage. The speaker men
toned one. family, in which five dis
tinct races, the Indian, Polynesian,
Hawaiian, Mongolian and English
Cor American) were represented.
The family is remarkably intelli-
gent and well-behaved one. Mar
riagcs between Chinese men and ma
tive women are very common, the
women preferring such husbands,
and the results being the best of any
intermarriages. The Oahu College
has an English and classical course
of study calculated to fit scholars
for any of our Eastern colleges.
The drawbacks to education are
mainly governmental, and the con-
dition of things very discouraging.
Regarding the leprosy, Mr.. Mer-
rift said that it is very widespread
among the natives, who have known
no other climate, and to some extent
among Caucasians who have lived
there many years. Late arrivals
feel no danger.
Professor Morton Kellogg of the
State University, who has just re.
turned from the islands, supported
Mr.. Merritt in saying that the best
authorities differ as to the contag,
iousness of the disease.
The Chinese are crowding the
natives out of the villages, but they
arc preferred on many of the larger

His own Administrators.



Bryant Roberts is II years old, and no
moved to this county In 1877. He has
reared ten children, and there are numer-
GUS grandchildren. The old gentleman
lost his wife last year. and since that TINA
he has been lonely at the old homestead.
Last week he summoned all his children
together and made up an inventory
Of all he owned. It footed up 3d.
900. He divided $4,000 Of his prop
erty INTO ten equal parts, and
each child drew for his or her share. The
old gentleman reserved 81, 1000 tor his own
use for the balance of his lite. The home
stead was included in the property divid-
ed, and the old gentleman will break up
housekeeping and spend the remainder Of
his declining years around among his
children.
Mr.. Roberts has taken this step because
he feels the silken cord has weakened un-
der the weight Of years, and ne prefers TO
be his own administrator. We trust his
children Will make it pleasant for the old
gentleman during the remainder of his So
jOurn with them.
