In paper describing perilous ascent of
Pixies Peak Lieut., John P. Finlay, United
States signal service, says that the ascent
was made in April, when the snow was the
deepest of all the months of the year, and the
lieutenant was accompanied by the sergeant
of the station. The ascent was accomplished
on mule back until zone of deep snow was
reached, and then the animals were taken
back to the half way house below. Into this
snow they sometimes sank up to their arm
pits and saved themselves from plunging
deeper by spreading out their arms. At one
time they crossed frozen crust in shape of a
turtles back, where a foothold had to be cut
at every step, and whore a misstep would
have sent them thousands Of feet down the
mountain. Electric storms sometimes were
witnessed there when each snowflake, charged
with electricity, discharged a spark as it
touched mules back in its fall. Electric
sparks streamed from the finger tips of up
raised hands. In their ascent they encount-
cred storm Of sleet that cut their faces SO as
to draw blood. The last five miles was a
fight for life against wind, sleet, cold and
rarified air

Varied Career of Woman Who WA
Once a Prominent Society Belle.

Varied Career of Woman Who Was
Once Prominent Society Belle.
NEW York, May @, = The Worlds
Kansas City special reports the death, in
sickness and poverty, of woman whose
wild career in various cities had made
her name notorious, though she was
connected with reputable family. She
was the daughter of Samuel Dobson, of
Peekslzill, N. Y, a wealthy man, who
reared her in every luxury and refine
ment. She was married in 1873 to
William H. Livingstone, of the well
known New York family.
Three years later her husband procured
a divorce, several officers and men of
prominence in London and Brussels
being named as correspondents. Her
parents disOwned her and she began a
dissipated life in New York, drifting
thence to Baltimore and later to Wash
ington, where she married DIR. Fletcher,
a military man. Fletcher soon after
wards died, leaving her a large amount
of property, which she soon squandered.
She went to Chicago, where she became
notorious, and to Washington, where
she was an effective lobbyist, and was
said to be connected with the DeGolier
scandal pavement.
She finally ran off to San Francisco
with clothing merchant who soon de-
serted her, and she took to drink, falling
rapidly to be the companion of the most
degraded. She died of fever and pneu-
monia, due to her dissipated habits, and
was buried in q paupers grave. She
was only 80 years old at the time of her
death, and still retained some traces of
the remarkable beauty which she pos
sessed in her happier days.

Young Men in Politics.

The Herald is making unrelenting
war on the fossil machine politician

ence in Tennessee politics, and talks
about the young men coming to the
front. That all may be well enough;
we want young man for governor
not so young in years and expert
ence, but young in a progressive
way, vigorous and strong in intel,
lect, decisive and courageous in pur-
pose, who knows the right and will
do it regardless of consequences a
man who understands the wants of
the people, the condition OF the
State, and has a policy of his own
which he is not afraid to declare,
looking to economy and progress,
placing the State on a high financial
basis and on the road to general pros
perity. But we don't want any
shallow-pated, wiry young man de-
pendent on somebody else for his
policy. The Democracy has tried
this young man business and the
penitentiary ring policy prevailed all
the same.

inst Mr. Brande, having made the mo-
ton, intended to let the matter be decided
without argument, but after hearing the
counsel for the proponent, concluded to
traverse the same and did so in the afternoon.
The objections charged were that there is
no library scheme deliberately set out in the
will, and that unless this were done under
the restrictive statutes of Wisconsin as to
uses, the bequest is void. In answer to the
first objection, it was shown that if true.
(which it is not) the case is expressly pro-
vided for by Sec. 1927 Revised Statutes
desirable and proper where the design of
the testator is to be carried into immediate
effect. Yet it must be evident that no def
mite scheme to take effect upon the falling

case after the lapse of twenty years could
have we'll effectuated the design of the tes-
tatrix -consequently it was left in the first
instance to the discretion of the trustee.
