n Pen Picture OF the Richest Heiress in the
West.

~ ~
West.
BY the death of Francis Palms, one of
tue Oldest and best known citizens of
Detroit, the entire estate Which he had
accumulated descends to two children, n
SON and daughter. The exact value of
this estate, says IL writer in the Philadel-
pima Times, it is impossible to fix with
certainty, but it is believed that it will
not fall below $40, 000, 900 ut the lowest.
Much of it consists in great land tracts
IN Michigan and Wisconsin, covered by
the towering forests for which that
region is famous, and the value of which
IS morally certain to increase as timber
Tor building and other purposes becomes
o scarce. Added to this are bonds
and securities 20 the amount of ali al
most fabulous sum-, and real estate in q
number Of western cities. Always an
economic and thrifty man, Mr.. Palms
made few blundors in the investment of
his capital, the entire sum of which he
hardly knew himself at the time of his
death from general debility. But little
is known of the son, who will probably
share jointly with the daughter in the
distribution of this vast estate, and who
is m offspring of Mr.. Palms's first mar
rlo8c, tho daughter being the fruit of q
second umon Unfortunately, the same
cannot be said for Miss Palms, however,
thanks to the conduct Of a Senator of the
United States. A few years ago Miss
Palms visited Washington for the first
time, and was given a cordial welcome
by the wives Of politicians whom her
father had helped to make. Personally
accomplished and beautiful, she won a
high place in many hearts, and, as sub
scqucnt events proved, completely con-
4uercd the susceptible Senator Jones.
during her visit to the capital the atten-
tons of the Florida statesman became so
frequent and annoying that when Miss
Palms finally left the city it was said she
had done so only to escape her elderly
sultor's prosecutions. In this, it will be
remembered, she wa not successful, as
Senator Jones followed her to her home
III Detroit, refusing to accept an un-
qualified no from the lady in answer to
his oller OF marriage. Physical force
finally succeeded in closing the door of
the Palms mansion against him, but it
has not served to prevent him from re-
naming in the Michigan metropolis nor
from sending constant reminders in the
shape of fruits and flowers to lady who
as constantly returned them without re-
ply. As photographed by the gossips,
Miss Palms is tall and stately, like the
tree whose plural name she bears. A
wealth OF dark and lustrous hair crowns
an unusually shapely head, which itself
IS posed upon a graceful figure of the
mature development of some thirty odd
years.

Never Too Old TO Wed.

That the fires of love sometimes Bum
brightly even in the breasts Of those who
have passed the allotted limit of life is
proven by a marriage which was solemn
lied In Middletown, n. y. recently. Tie
united ages of the contracting parties arc
l44 years, the groom being 20 years old and
the bride four years his senior. The groom
was Sampson Townsend, Il WELT do re-
tired farmer Of Light Street, Columbia
county, Pa, and the BRIDE Mrs. Julia Gil.
lcspic of Middlctown. The wedding took
place ut the residence of the brides dauglI-
ter.

rived the venerable but smiling ard appa.
rcntly very happy couple were escorted TO
their station under a floral bell by the six.
ycar-old grandson and three. ycar-o ole great.
granddaughter of the bride. The ceremony
was performed by the brides pastor, Rev.
Z. NJ. Winchester, and it was noticed That
the contracting couple were as nervous and
rs awkawrd as if this was their first expert
encc in matrimony. About thirty guests
were present, nearly all of them being de-
s~ccndants of the bride. 1t is intimatcd that

4 Queer Judicial Decision.

The laws OF Ohio require all property IL
be listed for taxation at its true value in
money National bank stock is. rs n lulr,
worth in the open market more than 100
cents on the dollar. 1t was assessed last
year at 90 cents on the dollar, and the
banks, admitting il was worth much more
Than the assessment, sought To cnioin tic
collection on so large a valuation. They
founded their right to Il reduction ON die
claim that other property was not valued SO
highly in proportion 10 It's actual value.
Ihts amounted TO II claim that perjury,
being general, should be stamped With tie
approval Of the courts and made universal.
To the amaZcmcnt Of honest folk not ac-
quaintcd with the lore of the law books, Ia"
court decided in favor of this seemingly
absurd claim. The law as ii now stands is
therefore that the banks shall have the gal
right to violate law because others are not
conscientious in listing property for taxa.

Something Abou, santa CLAUS.

Santa Claus YVES one Of the oldest ideas
Of the Celtic West in Pagan times, as he
was of the Pagan East before. In Christian
times he was still regarded with religious
reverence, sitting, as he had sat for ages in
Egypt and elsewhere, in the arms OF his
mother. Santa Claus was, in fact, the
child Jesus in the middle ages, and through.
out that period the festive creed of Ger.
many and all Celtic Europe was that he
visited all family dwellings of good Christ.
ians on the eve of his anniversary, and
brought with him gifts and blessings for
the children. This beautiful tradition is
still to be found lingering in Germany,
though Santa Claus does not seem to be-
specially connected with it by name. The
truth Of this original belief is plainly
enough indicated by the word CLAUS 8
which In the Gothic or ancient German
means ''childP and son" Santa Claus

COTTON BANDITS IN YORK.
Forty Negroes Swear to Kill any One Catching

9oRK, December S.--Thc Meas and Ccu-
1te,' has already published in Il dispatch
from Chester the fact that u young white
boy was found near his home. in York
county, so badly beaten and manglcd that
he soon died. The following are the facts
rs far as can be learned:
ABOUT SHUTDOWN on the evening of the

field of VIM. Il. Good, who lives near
county. a negro boy in the lot fastened
in the direction Of the cry, followed by
Mrs. Good and her little daughter. Pro.
cccding they found the son Of Mr.. Good, II
lad II years old, named John Lee, lying in
Il water furrow in n ScnsclcsS condition, his
skull crushed, his mouth knocked in and
his body bruised. He was carried To the
house and died al 8 o'clock, never recover
ing consciousness, Trial Justice Blair, in
the ncighpOrhOOd, was notified and on
wednesday, acting as coroner, he sum.
moncd a jury and proceeded with the in
quest. After examining a large number of
witnesses the inquest was adjourned and
met again ON Friday, when, after taking
much testimony, nom Of Il conclusive
character: the jury again adjourned till
next Friday.
In the meantime circumstances pointed
to Nose Lipscomb, Dan Roberts, Bailey
Dowdlc and Print Thompson, all colorCd,
as the guilty parties, and they were com
mittcd to Jail. The theory Of the invcsti
CATION was that some of these negroes had
been detected by the murdered boy in the
act of stealing basket of cotton from his
fathers field, and to prevent detection they
killed him, intending to throw his body into
Broad river, only two hundred yards dis
tant but they were thwartcd in this by the
approach OF the people from the house.
The theory proved correct, for this morn
ing Print and Dan made a confession to the
above effect, and also implicated Nose and
Bailey us accessories. They also say that
there is u combination of about forty ne.
grocs in that ncighborhood pledged that if
either one is caught in the act of stealing
they are to kill the person so detecting
them. This admission may lead to a large
number of arrests. There is much excite.

that a confession has been made, your cor.
