When an agnostic tells you that he
knows nothing of God you may safely
take his words for it. But when he
pretends to argue that you cannot
know anything of a God because he
does not, he simply illustrates the den
sity Of his own ignorance. As reason
ably might Digger Indian on the
Western prairies tell you that you
could not possibly know anything
about the size, distance, or substance
of the sun because the processes by
which information on these subjects il
obtained are utterably beyond his com.

PAYERWBArIEGrS WILL.


a Curious Document-Aiilions Involved In
tho Contest.
New IoES, Dec. l4.-Daniel B. Fayer-
weather, the wealthy leather manufac-
turer who died last month, did not in
tend to give to Justus L. Bulkley,
Thomas G. Rich and Henry B. Vaughan,
his executors, Sl,0000OO each, or any
other sum Tor their personal use not
withstanding the fact that in one of the
codicils OF his will he gives 10 them and
their heirs forever whatever NAV be left
OF his estate after his other bequests are
complied with. He meant it for h con.
ditional gift, but the conditions arc not
named in the will, because Mr.. Fayer.
weather feared that his executors might
encounter the aamo trouble that arose
over the will OF Samuel J. Tilden. Like
Mr.. Tilden he wished his estate to be
used chiefly Tor educational purposes.
1t is almost certain that he exacted a
promise from his executors that they
would hold the same in trust, neyerthe.
less to cell and convert into cash and to
divide the sum equally as provided in
the body OF the will.
In the will Mr.. Fayerweather makes
specific bequests amounting to SPAS.
100, including the S5OoOGO that it will
be necessary to invest to secure the an.
nuity to his wife and sister. It is not
possible to say what the residue Of the
estate amounts to, but it Is not likely
that it Is 100000. Neither OF the three
executors would consent to be inteS.
viewed. to-day, but General Stewart d,
Woodford, the law partner OF Mr.. Ritch,
and his counsel in the contest that ia to
be made over the will, answered some
questions put to Eim by reporter.
To the questian, "What is the value
OF Mr. Fayerweather's estate, and does
Mr.. Ritch think the value of his share
of the estate is Sl,O0OOOO or ANYTHING
