POINT PLEASANT, W. Va, January IS.
One of the most remarkable cases in
the jurisprudence of this State has just
been concluded In the Circuit Court for
this district. Henry J. Fisher, ST., was
wealthy man of this place, and when he
died left property, real and personal,
valued at $500, 200. Mr.. Fisher had one
son, named for himself. Young Fisher
in his youth became wild, and, to an ex-
tent reckless lie went into the Con-
federate army and was brave soldier,
being promoted for bravery on the field.
His father was dspleased with his
course, and before his death executed u
will In which the sons prerogatye
as heir was entirely disregarded.
The testator had endeayored TO entail the
estate in accumuating trust before the
investing of the entirety to a period be-
yond which the law allows. Henry j..
Fisher, Jr., now lawyer practicing at
the bar and residing at Chicago, where he
is greatly respected, brought suit to de-
clare the will void as TO the disposition
made Of the property. The trustees of
the estate, as well as the plaintiff, were
represented by the best legal talent of the
State. The case was stubbornly fought,
but at last was decided in favor of Fisher,
VINO has just taken possession OF his
great fortune.

Malaria, my dear madam" explained

animals are frequently afflicted with it
as well. 1t is disease that-that is
pretty generally understood in the pro-
fession toto he durable. if taken in
time, but if treatment is delayed it oc-
casionally proves serious If not fatal.
Like most diseases to which the human
frame is heir, the longer II is neglected
the more dangerous it becomes, particu-
larry in its advanced stage. The origin
of malaria" went on the learned doe
tor, declining seat, lean be traced to
the climate, or--to excessive dieting, or
excessive eating, as the case may be. or
to defective water pipes. Ii is generally
found in marshy districts, where the at
mosphere is moist. and in high localities.
where the atmosphere is dry. Some
people suffer more from il than others,
while some people suffer less than
others. Its nature is a peculiar one.
What may be malaria is often some
thing else, and what is evidently some
thing else may often be malaria, but in
any case no time should be lost in con-
sultng a physician. This, my dear
madam, is the clearest definition of ma
laria that can give without making
use of technical terms which you, OF
course, would not comprehend. 1t is
only within the past few years that
medical science has been able to cope
with it intelligently. If your daughter
should express desire for water let her
have all she wants; if she doesn't care
for water do not under any circum-
stances give it to her. Good morning"

An Exciting Scene In "A Church.

FALL RIVER, MASS, January %.
There was trouble at the Church of
Notre Dame DE Lourdes'to-day. The regu-
ar church choir refused to sing at serv-
ices at which Father McGcc olliciated. A
new choir was extemporized for mass in
the morning. In the afternoon the old
choir secured possession of the organ
loft, barricaded the door, and prevented
the new choir from entering. An exciting
scene ensued, during which Father Nc
Gee sent for the police. The difficulty
was finally settled without any arrests
being made.
