THE STEWART WILL CASE ENDED.
Millions Probably For the Contestants |
and Half Million For the lawyers.

Millions Probably For the Contsstauts
and Half Million For the lawyers.
The fight over the Stewart millions 10
practically at an end. The contestants, Il
Is believed, will have big slice from the
Sls,OO0,0O0 which Mr.. Hilton finally OBJ
tanned from the 81 ,00O, 900 left him by A. T.
Stewart, as they will be satisfied with ne
small amount. ~
The lawyers are all high priced men, and
will come In for big fees. Joseph II. Choate
might be reasonably expecsed to derive
Sl50,OO0 for services actually rendered to his
clients in the prosecution of the case, COM
bined with his services to the other side In
settling 1t out of court. This would make
the round sum of half a million dollars Q
fair estimate ofthe total payments to the
distinguished lawyers and In legal OK
penses on both sides.
or counsel for the contestants was Roscoe
Conkling, who rendered important services
in its preparation. He was In attendance
when the probate court opened on the 18th
day of March, 1883, when the fight may be
said to have actually begun. That was the
famous "blizzard day" and 1t was ex-
posure encountered In breasting that storm
which cost the great lawyer his life. 1t
will be interesting to note the apprsisement
of Mr.. Conkling's service in this case, &C.
cording to the settlement arranged between
Judge Hilton and the surviving lawyers
in 1t.
hu1OUI tne otuST "ycAS oh
that side were Mr.. Joseph ii. Choate, ex-
Judge william G. Choate, Mr.. Michael
Devine and Frederick II. Coudert. The
most noted lawyers on Judge HiltOn's side
were ex-Surrogate Rollins, Mr.. Elihu
Root, ex-Attorney General Leslie w. Rus
sell and Jasper W. Gilbert, ex-judge ofthe
supreme court In Brooklyn.
The litigation in which Mr.. Hilton had a
vital interest was that brought to set aside
the transfer made to him by Mrs. Stewart
soon after her husbands death, of all A. T.
Stewards business interests. The property
here involved was estimated at $l2, 600, 900.
II Mr.. Hilton had lost that suit, with the
accumulated interest, he would have been
rendered comparatively. .penniless. That
suit was brought by Mrs. Sarah Smith
through the firm of Martin d Smith, Mr..
Frederick w. Coudert being counsel in the
case.

l have seen and handled a pair of
tame rats belonging to some young
friends, and prettier, moro playful
and moro intelligent pets could not be
imagined. They were accustomed TO
run about the table at meal times.
They never stole food; but when any
thing was offered them they sat up on
their hind legs, held the morsels be-
tween the fore paws, and ate daintily.
They were fond Of q game which /
saw them play. The rats were put
into the boys cap, which was hung
on the hatstand in the hall. The boy
and his sister then went to the top of
house and whistled. At the sound of
the whistle the rats jumped out Of the
cap, scrambled to the floor, and then
ran upstairs and perched on their
owners shoulders.
The general idea of the rat is that it
is an i'll savored animal, dirty in its
person and revolving in its diet,
whereas it is ~delicatefy clean in per-
son and equally dainty in its food. 1t
is ever washing itself and eve eats

Capt. William Jameson, of Friend
ship, Me-, is called the Paul Revere of
the Meduncook. He received the name
in the following way: 1t was during
mufHed oars and under cover of dark
ness, were trying to reach and burn
the little fleet Of fishing schooners at
the head Of the Meduncook river,
hoping also to gather in some chickens,
eggs, etc, from the settlers along the
route. Jameson, then a boy OF IA,
mounted his horse and rode through
the town, giving the alarm at every
house. He then returned home, jumped
from his horse, and catching up his
little flint lock rifle, with twenty-four
rounds of cartridges, started off on the
run across lots to join his neighbors at
Bradford's Point. The British soon
found that they were discovered, and
hastened back to their hip.-Brooklyn

A story Is told of Washington making
a famous jump for a wife during his
youth. He was riding, 30 the story
goes, along the Potomac above George
town, when he came to the house of a
large estate, and seeing a crowd on the
lawn. he asked the cause of the gather
ing. He was told that n jumping match
was in progress, and the prize was the
hand of the farmers daughter. He
looked on for n time at the different
jumps, and finally asked If he might
not also try his skill. The host con-
sented, and Washington jumped farther
than the farthest. AS he did so he noted
that the countenance of the maiden fell,
and that she looked rather woefully at
the face Of his leading competitor, who
had made the next best jump, and who
was evidently her lover. He resigned
his claim to the lady's hand in his rivals
