who congratulated himself upon having. as
be said, discovered me after much searching,
and, without moments warning, and before

cab, upon which were two travelling trunk s,
and directed the coachman to drive to King 5

The TiLden VIII.

The courts are to determine whether
MIR. Tilden's large estate is to go to
trustees for the purpose which he
intended it or TO the heirs. The
heirs do not contest the Will, and
hence will not lose the legacies left
them il the will should be declared valid.
The courts are simply asked to decide
whether under the law the Will is valid
MIR. Tilden's ability to make a will is not
called into question. 1t is admitted that
he was of sound mind, but it is denied
that the law permits sucn a trust as be
provided for in his will. 1t is claimed
that while a testatOr can make specific
requests in any direction that may
suit him, ne cannot vest in his
executors such discretionary powers as
can be exercised properly only by HIM
self. 1t seems that the amount OF the
estate is nearer $i5 100000 than $1,000,
600. The executors say That they do not
doubt that the decision will be in their
favor. The point that has been raised
was considered, they say, by Mr.. Tilden
and his lawyers before the will was
drawn. The fact that the property is to
be used for the public good can hardly be
without its influence with the court.
While the law Will be adhered to, the dis.
position, doubtless, will be TO construe il
with as great liberality as possible in
favor OF the will.

Last Thursday Mr.. Comstock waited at

The snake story season is in the sere and

at hand. The latter starts out, too, with q

O.ony OF bees a honey stOrehOu.e, was the
first to make its appearance. The insects
had found their way into the vegeta BILE
through a crack in its side, and when the
owner OF the pumpkin made an investigation
he found that the bees had accumulated eight
pounds of honey. The circumstance IS being
quoted by the California papers as anoi her
result of the glorious climate Of that State
where pumpkins and honey can he raised on
the same vine. OF a different character
was a pumpkin OF Connecticut, which grew to
enormous proportions only TO explode when

pounds. This Jumbo of pumpkins was fed on
milk. One of its roots was allowed 10 rest in
u basin OF milk, and II drank a pint each dav.
We 10 not think that New orkers generally
raise their pumpkins on milk in this manner,
rs the process is rather too expensive and
troub esome for general adoption. Dut the
story shows what vcracOus New York cor
respondent can do when he tries. And II
must be borne IN mind that the pumpkin story
season Is only Just opening.

The death OF Fred Archer, the cele-
brated English jockey, is regarded, both
in this country and England, as an event
of more than passing interest. Many
turfmen considered him to be the greatest
jockey that ever lived. lie certainly pos
sessed wonderful qualities for his occu-
patton. His career was remarkable
one. He began very humbly as an APP
prentice, but he quickly showed that he
possessed extraordinary judgment with
respect to horses, aud as a jockey he soon
took his place in tho front rank. He Oh.
tanned enormous fees and magnificent
presents, and at the time OF his death pos
sessed a fortune OF $3.50 600. He was only
about 30 years old when his career closed.
He was, in fact, in the very zenith OF his
powers and fame.
The disease from which he was suffer-
ing at the time he took his life was brought
on by dieting process to which he had
subjected himself TO reduce his weight.
When In good condition for riding he
weighed about eighty-hve pounds. skin
and courage he possessed in a wonderful
degree. In race at the start be generally
got the lead, and at the finish DE had the
ability 10 make bis horse put forth all It's
powers. He seldom or never lost a race.
ais success was phenomenal IL will be
a long time. doubtless, before the Eng
llsh turf Will see bis equal.
