FOUR BROTHERS TO DIVIDE BIG ENGLISH FoF

FOUR BROTHERS TO DIVIDE BIG ENGLISH FOR
TUNE.
A Chicago special to the New York Herald
says: -Four brothers named Falquet, three of
whom reside in the west, are on the point of
dividing among themselves an English fortune
amounting to about 100000. The story of the
inheritance is a romantic one.
Alexander Falquet, an Englishman. who ar
rived in Cincinnati about thirtv-eiSht wears
ago, married Miss Harriet S. Collins but after
four sons had been born to them deserted his
wife and went to France. The wife became a
lunatic. but the sons grew up. and are doing
well. For many years they were separated,
but recently they were brought together again.
They are Eugene S. Falquet, of this city: Barry
Falquet, of Cincinnati: Charles Falquet of FIRE.
mont. Ohio, and a brother now residing in
Switzerland.
The estate to which the boys will succeed
was formerly unimproved property on the out
skirts of London, England 1t was converted
into money by the crown, the then owner, Car
oline Grove, leaving no will and no known
heirs. Before the English statute of limita-
tions ran against the recovery of any part of the
estate by any of the heirs it was discovered
that Caroline Grove was granddaughter of
one Mark Thormaquay and the daughter of one
of the Fglquets. The discovery inS8 rested Huoh
Pugh, of Cincinnati who had learned some
thing of the American familyof that name, and
after short time he was able to show that the
members of it were in reality the rightful heirs
of the Grove estate In the meantime two
brothers, claiming to be the descendants of one
of the daughters of Thormaquay, nearly estab-
lished claim to the property. On the trial.
however, the case went against them. This was
last August. They took an appeal. and the
higher court has just sustained the decision of

A Cabinet Size Audience,

FROM the New 1OrE Grapnlc.
The latest story about Senator William N.
Evarts. whose dry wit is proverbial, is told by
Ex-Governor Van Zandt, of Rhode Island. who
is at the Fifth Avenue hotel. The governor
was one OF the party that accompanied Presi-
dent Hayes on his famous tour into the south.
Cincinnati was the starting point of the trip
and Nashville was the principal objective point
Mr.. Hayes liked to have the train stop at every
station SO that he could make little speech
He went by a circuitous route in order to mingle
with the people, as he expressed it. Senator
Evarts, who was his secretary of state. was one
of the party. He was sitting in a rear car en-
joying a quiet smoke with Governor Van Zandt
when the train drew up at station. which the
governor declares was like nothing so much as
Charles Dickens description of the town of
Eden in Martin Chuzzlewit' There were
twenty or thirty lank and dirty-looking males
and twice as many women. The latter had no
other clothing than blue jean dresses which
barely fell below their knees. Their ankles
and feet were bare of covering. The entire
populace looked as if shaken to pieces by ague
Postmaster General Key came hastily into the
car, almost before Evarts and Van Zandt had
taken this inventory of the town. Addressing
himself to MIR. Evarts, he said: THE President
would like to have you come out and speak to
the people," Mr.. Evarts set his peculiar silk
hat firmer on the back of his head until it
crushed the lobes of his ears, heaved a sigh
and got up to obey the request, as he said.

BOSTON'S LATEST ISM.
Prominent Disciples of Culture Preach
Standardization of Labor
Letter TO the New York Press

Boston Letter to the New York Press
Under the general subhead of ''cranks" may
be taken that coterie of eminent Bostonians
who have formed a club to spread the ideas
they have found in a novel. And they are
nightly in earnest, too. The book itself is a
queer thing. 1t is the story of a young Bos-
tonian who awakens from trance still in his
beloved Boston, of course, to find that it is the
year 1000. Naturally he finds things some
what changed. People know even more in
Boston than when he fell asleep. Wonderful
has been the progress of invention, wonderful
the growth of the city. Electricity does every
thing for man. When he wants anything he
has practically but to press the corresponding
knob and 1t Is his. Here are some instances:
The family is in the parlor in the evening.
Does the guest wish music9 There is a pro-
gram from which he can choose-organ re-
cltatlve, soprano solo, full orchestra, DC. He
makes his choice, knob is touched and the
room is flooded with melody-all by telephone.
In the same way he can hear any lecturer or
any preacher he Wills and can shut them off
when he gets tired. A telephone continuance

But the social system, too. has undergone
considerable change. Men and women work
only from the time they become eighteen until
they become forty-five. Each person receives
equal share of the entire production of the
country for year. This is nontransferable,
and he can use it up when he sees fit. Law,
labor and the machinery of production are con-
trolled by the government. Every man is as
sured an opportunity for work and every man s
reward for his work is equal. There are no
old men saving up millions; there are no little
children starved in body and soul. The broth
erhood of man has been realized.
This strange book-and it has romance, for
the awakened hero marries his old fiance'S
great-granddaughter- called Looking Back
ward, and is the work of Edward Bethany,
who lives in Chicopee, Mass. Published here
in Boston it has had wide sale. and now a
queer result. People who were impressed by
the Utopian picture it presented have formed
a club, the Nationalist club, and are zealously
spreading the doctrines set forth by Mr.. Bel
lamy. Some of these were somewhat staggered
when they were told the plain unadorned name
of Mr.. Bellamy's doctrine, but it made no diff
ference to the majority. The club has held
but four meetings, but men and women of ma
tional fame have subs cribed to it's doctrines
and others announce themselves as on the
anxious seat. Rev. Edward Everett Hale is one
of the former; Thomas Wentworth Higginson
is one of the latter. score of such names
might be given, but these two. will show the

Firing the Dynamite Gun.

From the New York Tribune of Sunday
The trial of the new Zalinski dynamite gun
came off yesterday afternoon at Fort Lafayette
in the presence of large number of army Off
GERS, newspaper men, and the general public
1t had been intended that the gun should be
subjected to six distinct tests at ranges varying
from mile to 200 yards, but owing to a leak
age in one Of the valves and consequent loss of
some Of the air pressure by means of which
the gun is worked, only two trials were made
The range was at LOO yards. The projectile
feet long 10 inches in diameter, charged with
200 pounds of explosive gelatine and dynamite.
was lifted onto the table of the gun and moved
into position by a small crane. Captain Zalin-
ski touched a small hand lever by his side. A
huge object whizzed through the air, a great
jet of water spouted up to about the altitude of
high church steeple, and the spectator was
informed that the proiectile had struck its
point and exploded below the surface like a
torpedo. For the second shot there was an
1l-foot shell laden with 500 pounds of explosive
matter. The shot took an erratic course. al
though striking well under the water 1t was
then discovered that a leakage existed in the
new firing valve, and Captain Zalinski decided
to defer the remainder of the tests for a few
days. The air pressure was for the first shot
$50 pounds, and for the second 924 pounds per
square inch. Commander Goodrich. Lieuten-
ant b. A. Fiske, and Lieutenant Schroeder are
the board appointed by the navy to report on
the experiments.

Ale Versus Pie.

Practical Young Christians,

EFFORTS OF YALE's MISSIONARY STUDENTS TO
BRING OUTSIDERS INTO THE CHURCH.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph
Students in the Yale theological seminary
are engaged i'll an extensive city missionary en-
terprise. About fifty of them have thoroughly
canvassed New Haven to ascertain how MANY
families are not connected with any church
and the religious standing of those who are A
meeting will be held at the seminary to-lnor-
row evening, when the reports will be read
and measures for bringing outsiders into the
church will be considered. The students at the
seminary take great interest in religious work
among those who are outside of church in
huence, acting III harmony with CITY Mission
airy Mossman. and their example has aroused
the churches to more active missionary work.
In the academical department there are
many strong church workers. Stage the
pitcher, who graduated in 1888, but is taking
course IN mental science, is the leading relig-
ious man in the college. He is at the head of
the College Young Mems Christian association
and Is first on the delegation that will try to
convert Meriden next Sunday. Stage always
prays for success before he enters the pitchers
box while few and short are the PRAYERS of his
opponents after they strike unavailingly at his
curves. In his mission work Stage devotes
himself particularly TO the BOYS acting in the
line of philosophy which prompts him to do his
best work at the very beginning of base ball
game. Newsboys, bootblachs. all street gam
ins, loafers. young and old. flock to the meet
lngs where Stage Is expected to preach" and
they listen to him with respect that would
not be accorded to the most noted preachers of
the world.
When the boys. as they sometimes do. give
way to their nature and become bosterous. the
giant athlete. Corbin, strolls down the aisle
and the restoration of quiet is accomplished.
COrbin. by the way. is not exceeded bv Stagg
in religious zeal. He is exceedingly conscien-
tious. and his restraining influence on the crew
last season won for him the sobriquet of ..chap-
erOn." Corbin is very fine singer and his
voice, with that of his popular cousin. Griggs.
and others of the glee club, attract many. par
ticulariy ladies. to the missions
The spirit of these men permeates all the
college, and there is little immortality and no
ruffianism among the students of to-day.
Freshmen who enter college with plenty of
money, comparatively little refinement. and
a mistaken idea of what college life is. some
times display an exuberance of animal spirits.
and they are largely responsible for the quite
common idea of college wickedIiess Yale men
have not lost their love of fun. but they have
learned to discriminate, and they do not in

predecessor. pays great attention to the moral
interests of the students. There is no fast set

Bellows Nemesis Insane.

MISS COFFIN MUST GO TO AN ASYLUM.
The New York Tribune says: Kyrle Bellows
Nemesis, Miss Harriet L. Coffin. will probably
go to an insane asylum in few days. She is
now at Bellevue hospital, in ward 8, and DR..
Douglas, who examined her Saturday, says
that her mind is so seriously affected that she
must be committed. Her mother called to
see the doctor in the afternoon and agreed with
him that a few months confinement in an asy-
llm would be the best possible thing for her
daughter. Ii Mrs. Coffin does not see that she
Is so confined, the state will have to DO it.
Should she manage to evade the asylum she
must go TO court. as she is still under arrest
for disOrderly conduct and carving concealed
weapons. Miss Collins trial at the Jefferson
market police court in the morning was cut
short by Justice Patterson, who, after hearing
the complaint of Treasurer Howard Perry, of
Palmers theater. said: Il will commit this
young woman to the care of the commissioners
OF charities and correction for examination as
to her mental condition" The prisoner was
inclined TO be noisy, but subsidized when an
ambulance took her to Bellevue. At the hos
pital she behaved with propriety
Antony Kyrle Bellew is having a harder time
off the stage than on it, First Miss Coffin
chased him half way across the country about
year ago, either to tell him the story of her
love or to put bullet through him. Then
Pierre Lorillard elected him from Tuxedo park
and refused TO apologize when Kyrle talked of
death and destruction. And now Miss Coffin
has bobbed up again with uncomfortable love
or hate in her heart and loaded revolver in
her pocket. Within the last few months she
has twice tried to make a forcible impression
on Mr.. Bellew with pistol bullet, has beaten
respectable merchant over the head and had
him arrested for the alleged making of i'm
proper advances to her in a 5th avenue stage
and has generally earned and gained a good
deal of notoriety. She was adjudged insane,
but managed to get over to Jersey and for
some time past has keptreasonably quiet Ever
since kyrle has been presenting his ideal of
Antony at Palmer's theater Miss Coffin Aas

ment. But she is out of the way at last. and
