MORE GAINES LITIGATION.
1--WE Wills of Mrs. HIyra Clark Gaines
Presented for Probate.

Presented Tor Probate
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 21.-The succession of
lMyrs Clark Gaines bids fair to be as fruitful of
litigation as that of her father. The day after
her death two wills were offered for probate,
each purporting to be her last. The first one
MED bore the date of Jan. 8, and was as fol-
lows:
l, Myra Clark Gaines, being OF sound mind,
Dequeath to my excellent friend, Julietta Per-
kins, as token of my esteem and love, that
part OF my estate known as the Fuentes prop
erty, and to my friend, Mrs. Marie p Evans,
one-thlrd OF the remainder of my entire es-
tate, the balance to be equally divided between
my grandchildren. l appoint Mrs. Marie P.
Evans my testamentary executrix and detainer
OF my entire estate, without bond.
This document appears to be in the hand
writing OF Mrs. Gaines, and is accompanied by
q letter, dated Washington last August in
which the deceased writes Mrs. Evans, offer.
ing one-thrd Of her estate and appointing her
executrix and detainer without bond
Tbs other will is filed by William H. Wilder,
an old friend of the deceased, and james L.
Christmas, who are therein named tastamenta-
ry executors without bond. This will is dated
Jan. B, and after directing the payment of just
debts, bequeaths to Mrs. Virginia Davis, at
whose house she died, tract Of 800 acres OF
land on Plaquemne Brustle, st. Landry par
ish. To her daughter, Mrs. Whitney and SON.
in-law, Christmas, and their heirs, she gives
VI 100000 each, together with all real and per-
sonal property not otherwise devised. The
other bequests are as follows: Edmund PEN
dleton Eames, son of her late husband, 1926
600; George Benson, Marietta, Ga; the Rev
John Harmon, Mississippi and her god-child,
Mvrs Mazart, $40, 600 each
This will revokes all previous ones, and bears
the names of five witnesses to the testatrix's
mark, she being too ill to sign her name. The
attorneys, or the parties offering the last
named will, have filed an objection to the pro-
bate OF the first one, alleging that it is not gem
uine, Mrs. Gaines having been too i'll the Cav
before her death to have written the document,
as evidenced by her inability to merely sign
her name three days previous. They there
fore ask that it be thrown out

MIR. Oates Bill 40 Prohibit Aliens and
Foreigners from Acquiring Lands i'm she
United States.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. - Representative
Oates, OF the committee on public lands, has
prepared report on the bill TO prohibit aliens
and foreigners from acquiring or owning lands
within the United States which the commit
tes has reported to the House with a recon-
mendatlon that it shall pass.
Mr.. Oates said: Your committee have as
certalned with q reasonable certainty that
certain noblemen of Europe principally En-
glishmen, have acquired and now own in The
aggregate about 21 900 900 acres of land within
the United States and this alien nonresident
ownership will in the course of time lead to a
system of landloldism incompatible with the
best interests and free institutions of the
United States. The foundation for such a
system is being laid broadly in the Western
States and Territories considerable mum.
Der OF immigrants annually arriving in this
country become tenants and herdsmen on the
vast possessions of these foreign lords under
contracts made and entered into before they
sail for our shores. The ayarice and enterprise
OF European capitalists have caused them to
invest many millions in American railroad and
land bonds covering perhaps 100,000,000 acres,
the greater part of which is under foreclosure
sales and will most likely before many years

possessions. This aggressive foreign capital is

INDIANAPoLIs, Ind, Jan. 21.-On account of
an exclusive contract between the Western
Union Telegraph Company and the Bell Tel
sphone Company, the Telephone Exchange
and Ohio Telegraph Company. A suit was
brought to compel the Telephone Company to
furnish the same facilities to the Baltimore
and Ohio as were furnished to the Western
Union and it has just been decided in favor of
the Baltimore ana Ohio. The South Jersey
Overland Telephone Company, working under
the Baxter system, was served with an injunc-
tion from the Bell Telephone Company yes
terday, issued by the Supreme Court at Tren-
ton, restraining them from further operations.
This morning the city of Bridgton and the
country towns using the instruments of the
South Jersey Overland Telephone Company
were notified that hereafter the instruments
would be disconnected and that business
would be discontinued until arrangements with
the Bell Telephone Company may be effected.

Ten Million Dollar Telescone.

In Harper's Magazine for February Simon
Newcomb has an interesting article on the
great telescope, the largest in the world.
which Avsn Clark & Sons are making for
the Lick Observatory. He states that soma
one interested in this work went to the shop
of Messrs. Clark & Sons with view Of
learning whether it was really possible to
make million dollar telescope. "Suppo,e
we make 'em telescope-charge 'em mil
lion dollars for it--tben they'd have a NIL
lion dollar telescope" was the sententioin
but conclusive reply. The labor already e1-
pended upon this great instrument and tie
time yet to be occupied in its construction
are elements which indicate very clearly
that its cost could not but be immense. Toe
contract was made in 1880, and it was not
till 1854 that the object glass was success
fully moulded. The objective of the tele-
scope is to have thirty-six inches clear aper-
ture. The difficulty at the outset was in the
casting of the crown glass. which was en-
trusted TO Fell of Paris. When the founder
has succeeded in casting his lump of glass.
weighing several hundred pounds, the CLAW
pct in which it is contained is broken awav.
Ing lmpregnsted with the clay and other i'm
purities, have 10 be cut away. This is a
most tedious process. If any ordinary cut-
ting tool were used, the glass would be- ant
to fly to pieces. 1t has to De sawed bv a
wire working in sand and water. The pro-
cess OF cutting away the outside il one.
therefore, involving weeks if not months az
labor. When 1t is done, the mass must be
pressed into the shape of disk, like a yerv
thin grindstone, and in order to do this the
lump must first be heated nearly To the
neiting point, so as 10 become plastic. But
when Fell began to heat his large mass IL
new to pieces. In successive attempts he
took more and more time for the heating.
out broke dozen or more pieces before he
at last succeeded. In February, 1884. he re-
ported that glass was actually moulded
without having been broken, and would
soon ba ready for shipment. The mechan-
ism Tor the direction of the great tube, 90
ieet long, in its work of searching the heay.
ems, is yet TO be constructed, and from Mr..
Newcomb's article 1t appears tha. the plans
for 1t are not wholly complete, nor is the
perfection of the object glass yet assured.
AFTER these matters are decided It will stilI
lake Two years TO finish the telescope.
