Mrs. Fayerweather to Contest
Her Husband Will.

New YORK, Dec. 12-It is by no means
certain that the University of Virginia and
twenty colleges, which hope to benefit
altogether to the extent of g, 900 under
the terms of the will of the late Daniel b.
Fayerweather, will fully enjoy their sup
posed good fortune. Lucy Fayerweather,
the widow of the deceased lumber mer-
chant, got leave from Surrogate Ransom
today to withdraw her consent to the pro-
bate of the WILL and she will contest the
instrument. She thinks too much was left
to the executors, who are practically made
residuary legatees. 1t seems to be pretty
well understood that Mrs. Fayerweather
has no objections to the colleges receiving
the money that has been lett left to them,
but she has decided objection to the rest
of the money being handed to MesSrs Ritch,
Vaughan and Buckley.
BY the terms of the will proper the resid-
nary estate was to be divided among the
colleges, but codicil revoked this, giving
it to the executors, share and share alike.
The beqnest TO the University of Virginia
is 800, 0CO.

the Advisory Board.
Especial Dispatch to tie Baltimore Sun

Especial Dispatch to tie Baltimore Sun. ]
New YORK, Dec. 1.-the Sun cores
pendent learns on the most reliable au-
thOrity that the long-expected plan for
the funding of the debt OF the State OF
Virginia, under the act of March 3, 1890,
creating the debt commission, has at last
been placed before the advisory board,
consisting of Grover Cleveland, Thomas
+. BAyard. Edward j. Phelps, George S.
Coe and George G.. Williams. Two weeks
ago the bOndholders' committee, Messrs.
T. P. Olcott, VIM. L. Bull, Henry Bulge,
Charles D.. Dickey, Jr., II. r. Garden and
John Gill, met in this city and had con-
terence with Mr.. Howard Potter, repre-
senting the London firm of Brown, SIMPLY
& Co., the ieposltary of Tire European
bondholders. For several days they gave
to the subject the careful consideration 1t
REQUIRED, and sevolved what, in their
! Judgment, was the best possible plan oil
settlement to be laid before the advisory
board. Mr.. Hugh r. Garden, of the bond
holders committee, was invited by the
advisory board to present to them full
explanation of the situation OF the debt
and how the proposed plan would effect
/ Its settlement. Inc 1ull DOaru WAS pIcScH'
at his explanation, which was most ex-
haustive aud minute. Two days were
spent last week in this investigation, con-
ference and discussion. On Its conclusion
the ADVISORY boaId gave unanimous and
cordial approval TO the plans submitted
by the bondholders' committee, which
have also been approved of by the most
influential of the bondholders here and
in Europe. 1t will be remembered that
the agreement of May II, 1890, under
which the bondholders' committee have
been at work, provided that the advisory
committee should unanimously ratify all
their plans of adjustment. Due notice of
this step will now be formally given to
the parties in interest, and the bondhold=
ers' committee will then be prepared to
communicate with the debt commission
appointed by the State of Virginia. The
members of the bondholders committee
are assured by the progress they have
made at this critical stage of the negotia-
lions that the further details to crown
their efforts with entire success Will be
easy of accomplishment.

An Interview With Major Mann
Page.
lie SAYS THAT ALLIANCE AND LABOR LEAD
Frs WILL CONFER.
[ Richmond State, Dec. II. ]


Mai. Mann Page. one of the prominent
officers of the Grand Lodge of Masons
after travelling night and day, arrived
here last night from Ocala, Fla, whesC
he had been attending the convention OF
the National Alliance.
Maj. Page was seen by State reporter
this morning, aud when asked "What
will the Alliance do 10 the presidential
contest of 1892 ?" said;
"1hat is not yet determined, for the
reason that the Alliance has made no
third party. 1t has, though, made its
platform of principles and demands, and
the members have pledged Themselves to
support no candidate who will not stand
on their platform"
"Will the Alliance vote with the labor
organizations F"
"There is as yet no plan perfected but
there is however, an arrangement pro
posed looking towards sort of confer
ence with all labor organizations, to see II
they can't mite IN the support OF the
principles which they have adopted as
their platform. There is to be confer
ence of all the presidents of the Farmers
Alliances of each State, with the presi-
dent Of the National Alliance, to be held
in the next sixty days, with view OF
adopting measures to carry into eiltct the
demands of the National Alliance
"Who will the Farmers Alliance be
like to favor for President ~
"They have expressed no choice. They
are for principles, not men. and their
chief objects will be to carry ont the
principles of their organization the chiel
of which are the free coinage of silver
and the enactment Of proper railroad
laws"
At this point the interview was inter
rupted by Maj. Page being called off to
attend a meeting Of a committee OF the
Grand Lodge of Masons.

That Little TICKLING

In your throat, which makes you congh
once in a while and keeps you constantly
clearing your throat, arises from catarrh,
and as catarrh is a constitutional disease
the ordinary cough medicines all fail to
hit the spot. What you need is con-
stitutional remedy like Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Many people who have taken this
medicine for scrofull, dyspepsia, loss of
appetite, and other troubles, have been
surprised that 1t should cure this trouble
some cough Bot to know the actual cause
of the coggh Is to solve the mystery. Many
cases of consumption can be traced back
to the neglect of some such slight affection
as this. Consumption can be controlled
in its early stages, and the effect of
Hoods Sarsaparilla in purifying the
blood, building up the general health,
and expellng the scrofulous faint
which is the cause of catarrh and con-
sumption, has restored to perfect health
many persons on whom this dreaded dis
case seemed to have a firm hold.

The laws of health are taught in the
schools but not in a way to be of much
practical benefit and ale never illustrated
by living examples, which in many cases
might easily be done. If some scholar,
who had Just contracted a cold, was
brought before the school, so that all
could hear the dry, loud cough and know
its significance see the thin white coat
ing on the tongue and later, as the cold
developed, see the profGse watery ex-
pectoratiOn and thin watery discharge
from the nose, not one of them would
ever forget what the first symptoms Of a
cold were. The scholar should then be
given Chamberlam's Cough Remedy free
", that all nigh see that even asevere
cold would be cured in one or two days,
or at least greatly mitigated, when prop
erly treated as soon as the first symptoms
appear. This remedy is famous for its
cures of coughs, colds and Group. 1t is
made especially for these diseases and IS
the most prompt and most reliable medi-
cine known for the purpose. 30 cent

der in the first degree, was before Judge
Elliot, who overrule1 the motion for a
new trial, and sentenced to be hanged on
Thursday, January 30. The Judge then
stated that he never would sentence a

lowing dispatch, dated Fort Yates. N

The Democrats keep up continuous
clatter about what they call their great

strength which brought about Republi

drawn between the two great PARTIES
There was no defined policy presented
which antagonized Republican principles.
Local influences, novel notions and eX-
perments, and a general don't care-it l.
do" spirit effected the political revolution,
most of which was to Democratic adj
vantage, because it was the largest
organization opposed to the Republicans,
OF rather the party in power. Two years
hence, it will be found that a greater re-
volt against modern Democracy VIII be
recorded than the apparent rebuke this
wear of the Republicans. Public feeling
will have toned down-the impulse to hit
something, regardless of con- cquences,
will have abated, and the second sober
thought of the people will be in force ana
the country be in a frame to recognize the
principles and policies of the Republican
party as best conducive to the progress
and wealth of the nation. The Republi-
can party will have been cured of bosses,
end it will be judged by the fruits of its
policies, and the prosperity it has brought
to the nation. The result of November
the 4th will baye the effect to discipline
the Republicans, and put them in trim to
claim and command public confidence, if
for no other reason than that the Demo-
cratic party cannot be trusted with the

The Lottery Company's Last Hope
A SUIT WHICH WILL DETERMINE WHETHER
ITS CHARTER SHALL BE EXTENDED
p YEARS.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. -. Application
was made to-day to the District Court at
Baton Rouge by Mr.. John A. Morris. head
of the Louisiana Lottery Company, for a
mandamus to compel the Secretary of
State to publish the lottery amendment
to the Constitution passed at the late
session of the Legislature. On the de-
cision hangs the question whether the
charter Of the Louisiana Lottery Com
pany shall be extended twenty-five years.
Wien the constitutional amendment
was submitted to the Legislature it re-
celved exactly the necessary two-thirds
majority in both Houses, G6 out of %
member of the Assembly and "a out of 80
Senators. The Governor vetoed the amend
ment. 1t was passed over his veto in the
House, and an attempt was made to pass
it in the Senate, but it failed. 1t was then
claimed that the Governor could not veto
a constitutional amendment. Here the
question has remained ever since, the
lottery people claiming that the amend
ment was properly passed by the Legls-
lature, and the Governors veto Is of no
account, and the antl-lottery people argu-
ing that the amendment is dead and can
not be submitted to the people. The
Secretary of State appears to have taken
this view of tho matter, for he has pro-
mulgatcd all the other acts of the legisla-
ture except this, and as the law requires
ITS PRONUNCIATION before it can be voted on,
the lottery company Las been compelled to
appeal to the courts to determine its
status.
The case will 60 at once to the Supreme
Court. Ii the lottery company wins, the
question of an extension of its charter
will be submitted to the popular vote in
1872, the indications being now that it
will win the fight in this election. Ii the
case is lost it will put an end to the lot
terry in Louisiana. The suit, therefore
covers the entire lottery question so
iiercely fought oyer in Louisiana.

intention OF contesting the seat Of Hon.
John W. Lawson, the Democrat elected
to succeed him in the Fiity-second Con-

Lawson had been defeated by $500 votes
To establish all his assertions of fraud,
he SAID, would require him to see about
six or seven thousand voters in his dis
trict, and he could not do this in the forty
days allowed him by law, Beside this
1t would cost him about $4,000.
