Special to the Sunday Morning Ncrs
NEWARK, Oct. 20. 1889. Mrs. Frederick
Theresa Price, wife of Colonel e. L. Price
has filed caveat against the will Of her
mother, the late Eva E. Eberhardt. BY
the terms of her mothers win Mrs. Price
is cut off with S., and the remainder of
the estate, valued at So, 600, is given to a
grandson. Mrs. Price claims that her
father died in 1873, leaving all his prop

this will of her father was made under
the influence of her mother, but that she
did not want to disturb the latter as long
as she lived. If Mrs. Price succeeds in
breaking the will of her father, she will
then be entitled to one-half of the estate.

CHAL. L. DICK INTERVIEWED.

The Relief Fund Being Witbheld too Long
Suffering and siekness-Political Pur-
poses Kept the Work From Being Done.
Chal. L. Dick, Esq, was interviewed
Tuesday by Pittsburgh Leader report
er, and we take the following report of
the interview from that paper:
Chal L. Dick, of Johnstown, was in the
city to-day, and was interrogated upon
the condition of the distressed city. He
says that the withdrawal of the State
labor from the district is mistake of
somebody, probably Governor Beaver or
some of his officials. " When the
State did withdraw Its forces from the
work some weeks ago" said he, ''it was
positively known that large number of
bodies of the victims OF the flood still lay
buried amid the debris in the rivers
around the devastated district, and upon
praYerful supplication of majority of
the citizens the work was resumed, and
in short space of time that the State
laborers did work afterward bodies of the
victims were found in great numbers in
the limited space that was worked over
No great work was done during the last
labors of the State, yet among the little
debris that was disarranged during this
time over twenty bodies were found,
showing that the now quiet Conemaugh
and Stonycreek ripple and sing the
requiem of many buried hundreds in un-
known graves. The relief is being with
held too long" continued Mr. Dick.
" The poor man who owns little lot of
ground either is waiting and longing for
the distribution, or has already gone
ahead, and perhaps-if the fund does not
come up to his expectation-put himself
into so deep gulf of debt that nothing
but luck or Providence can pull him out
of it. There will be suffering, there will
be sickness from the exposure that the
little protection the Oklahomas and
Hoover Hughes houses afforded the poor
people that accepted the magnificent
offer of such beggarly, niggardly. grasp
ing and outrageous care afforded them by
those who held the fund and who should

Their blame is a breath butan echo Of death.

LAST YEARS LEAr

Amid the springtime bloom IL lies,
A leaf sere, brown and dead;
Beneath II lie the fragrant flowers,
The birds sing overhead.
The genial sun shi ines warmly down
Soft zephyrs stir the trees,
And Ger the flowers lying near
Wander the busy bees.
Amid the green and the springing life
The leaf lies cold and dead
a relic Of another spring,
spring forever fed.
T. is thus the heart, when Joy is o'er,
And love deserts at last.
Lies like the leaf. relic sad

1t is also to be noted that few of the
same kind of reporters have been lately
sent to Johnstown, and are sending off
dispatches to city papers filed with ap-
palling news of widespread and destruct-

pose from their accounts that epidemlcs
more fatal than yellow fever ever was in
the South, are ravaging Johnstown and
surrounding villages at the rate of scores

compare favorably with that of almost
any section of Western Pennsylvania.

CARRYING concealed deadly weapons
has become custom in this country so
general in its practice that it is not un-
usual for men to regard the possession of
such an article on his person as necessary as
u is to have pocket-knife or q toothpick.
One can scarcely mingle with a crowd of
dozen men on thoroughfare or pub
lie resort without coming in contact with
one or more men secretly armed-for
what? 1t is a question full of vital interest
to peaceable people, and challenge to
the authorities. When q man leaves
his home, says an exchange, with revol-
yer in his pocket merely to pass the time
in the town where he lives or participate
in the pleasures of an entertainment in a
public hall, he has meaning in his &C
ton which premeditates death to some
one, for he who speeds bullet at
another runquestionably intends to kill him.
Such view of carrying deadly weapons
cannot be escaped, when it is considered
in the light of public order and obe-
dience to the laws of the land. Peaceable
people do not need to carry concealed
deadly weapons on their person. If any
emergency occurs justifying man to
carry revolver or rifle, he can do it
openly and in the face of all men, and
whatever is the result of his doing so, he
will have fair chance of receiving a
justification from the courts empowered
to revise his act. 1t is the carrier of the
concealed deadly weapon who always
stands within the shadow of the law, for
the violation Of which he is in constant
risk.

A Grave Mistake.

Yes, repeat it is a grave mistake,
young ladies, TO let men spend SO much
money upon you in various ways. 1t
cheapens you in exact proportion TO
what they pay for you.
Very often they can't afford it; and
not frequently they don't wish to do it,
and only yield to custom and what they
suppose you expect from them.
Girls could often learn a lesson for
themselves by noticing how their bro
theirs talk about the expenses of escort
duty. As they talk to you, SO do your
escorts speak OF you.
1t would be wise and righteous.
measure if society girls would form lea
CUES among themselves to institute n
reform in these things, and bring the
wholesome pleasures of social inter-
course within the honest reach Of men
whose salaries are small.
Don't allow men to give you expen-
sive suppers and expensive flowers and
the like. And as to more personal
things, why "a sense OF delicacy and
personal dignity ought to place i'm
passable barriers between you and gifts

How well | remember the instruction
OF the best woman | ever knew, whose
advice to her daughter was: ''Never
take presents from men or allow them
to spend money upon you; even when
YOU are engaged, limit your lovers

enough for handsome presents when
you are married; and ifanything should
Interfere with your marriage, why, you
will be spared the modification of hav-

Baby and Dog in Wilderness.

A private letter from Fort Supply, in
the Indian Territory, relates pathetic
story of the wandering in the wilder
ness OF mere baby, with onlya little
dog for its faithful guide and compan-
ion. Some twelve miles from the fort
there lives on ranch woman who
supplies the post with dairy products.
She had three small children. The
second Of these, wee, brown-eyed,
fair-haired baby Of two years. had Il
little dog who was her inseparable com
panion. One day neither could be
found. The anxious mother locked up
her two other children, and getting u
cowboy TO accompany her, started forth
on horseback to search for the infant
wanderer. All day long she secured
the country, finding no trace. A search
ing party from the post met with no
better success.
Mrs. Gilman. the wife of one of the
officers was, however, SO strongly inn
pressed with conviction that the
child had not persisted that, in response
to her entreaties, another party was
organized and again set forth to con-
tinue the quest. This time there were
one hundred and fifty men riding in all
directions. On the fifth day of the
search a detachment espied the little
dog crawling out from under a cliif
above a tiny stream. They went to it,
and there, lying on the ground. found
the poor baby. Its little bruised and
swollen feet had wandered full fifteen
miles from home. 1t was still alive,
but died before reaching home.
The poor, faithful dog had chung
to his playfellow all the time and
had led her To the water. Tracing
back the trail over which these small
travellers had wandered it appeared
that they had gone where no foot of
man could tread. In some places they
must have fallen over lodges and fallen
down declivities, and they had crawled
along precipices where the steadiest
head might have grown dizzy.-New

The Cliff DwellerS.

One OF the most attractive portions
of Colorado, if not the entire west, is
that part of the state in which are
found the cliff dwellings of long ex-
tinct race. The district in which
these ruins are located covers an area
of nearly 5000 square miles. chiefly in
Colorado, but which includes narrow
belts in the adjacent Territories OF
New Mexico, Utah and Arizona.
The ruins of this region, like most
others OF the extreme west and south,
are the remnants in great measure of
stone structures. 1t is evident, how
ever. that a great portion of the viii
lagos and dwellings of the lowlands
which comprise this district have been
of material other than stone. frequent
ly, doubtless, of rubble and adobe COM
bined.
The cliff houses conform in shape TO
the floor of the niche or shelf on which
they are built. They are of firm, neat
masonry, and the manner in which
they are attached or cemented to the
cliffs is simply marvellous. Their con-
s,ruction has cost great deal OF labor,
.he rock and mortar of which they are
built having been brought hundreds Of
feet up the most precipitous places.
They have a much more modern look
than the valley and cave remains, and
are probably in general more recent be-
longing rather TO the close than the
earlier parts OF a long period of occu-
patton.
1t seems probable that rich reward
awaits the fortunate archRologist who
shall be able to thoroughly investigate
the historical records that lie buried in
the masses of ruins. the unexplored
caves, and the still mysterious burial
places OF the northwest. But it is
quite improbable that any certain light
will ever be thrown on the origin of
this curious race or their history. Gin

RATS AND POLICEMEN.
Singular Story Of a White Rat at the
City Hall Station.

City Hall Station.
Several years ago the doorman OF the
city hall police station was presented
with n young white rat. For some time
after the officers attached TO the station
objected to the presence Of the animal.
and the poor rodent was driven TO its
wits ends amid IA constant shower of
boots, stray pieces OF soap, loose cart
ridges and innumerable other domestic
articles. But the rat was game and q
remarkable dodger, and instead of fall
ing away before the nocturnal on
slaughts, it thrived, grew stout and
more daring. Its nightly depredations
made rest for the dodgers of the station
impossible, and secret organization
was formed for the purpose of annihilat-
ing the rodent
In one corner OF the dOrmitory il IA
small hole in the floor. Here Mr.. Rat
dwells when not roaming about. For
four nights the entire force OF the sta
ton clustered about the hole awaiting
the advent OF his ratship. But the rat
has much more than its share OF fox
blood in its rich veins and the whole
OF these four nights were spent lat
home" The other evening the organi-
Zation disbanded At midnight Officer
Richard Ganley walked in. Ganley is
one of the best members OF the force,
having saved from drowning no fewer
than twenty-five lives. Ganley's over

the morning he arose and went to his
Overcoat for his fare. 1t was picked to
pieces. and there was plenty of clear
evidence to show that his ratship had
climbed up the back of the chair and
into the well-filled pocket. This was
another black peg into the rats board
OF life, and Ganley renewed his oath Of
revenge. Last night Ganley came
around again with his well-filled pocket.
He got large nail and hammer and
put coat-hanger high up on the wall
where there We're no chairs. This
morning on getting up he went to the
coat, showed his hand into the pocket,
and his hand ran over the soft fur of

the wall into the border of and dropped
down onto the coat, scrambling into
the pocket. 1t was wonderful feat,
the officers think, and now the men
have foresworn their words Of vcnge-
ance. In future the rat will be petted
and fretted.
Rats appear TO have n great fondness
for the guardians OF the peace. At the
