HosTETTER's FORTUNE.
Two of the Bitters Makers Sisters War
 to Share His Estate.

Two of the Bitters Makers Sisters Want
 to Share His Estate.
 The orphans court in Pittsburg recently issued decree distributing the funds and securities of the estate of the late David Hos letter of "bitters" fame. The amount was $5,S91 ,549. After the death of Dr. David in the courts decree, two sisters of Dr. David Hostetter, Mrs. Stoner of Alleghany and Mrs. Smay of Lancaster, Pa., widow with five children, find~ no share in their brothers estate. The two sisters have en- gagged counsel, and will make vigorous ef fort to secure an equal share with the heirs of their deceased brother David. The claim upon which they have based their contest is that in 1885 their father transferred his busi- ness to their brother without valuable con sideration of any kind, that at the time of the transfer their father was incompetent to transact business, and that, therefore, the transfer was illegal, and they are entitled each to one-third interest in their fathers estate.

When the Sun Goes Down. Though the morning may be dreary

And the day be long and weary, Though the clouds may darkly lower And the tempest hercely frown, We shall quite forget the shadows That have fingered in the meadows If there be a golden hour
 When the sun goes down. What though fate our hope opposes, What thoug. tn orns shut out the roses, And the cross is borne in sorrow That we carry to the crown. By and by we'll cease to wander And we'll rest forever yonder If there dawns bright tomorrow When ife's sun goes down.

Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1890-08-26

In recent issue Of The Louis
vile Courier Journal is a judgment
of Secretary Blaine and his recip-
rocity policy, from which we repro
duoe the following extract:
Too much significance cannot be at
tached to Mr.. Blaines recent argument
for reciprocity between this country and
the nations of Latin America. Mr.
Blaine, Is without question, the keenest
intellect in the Republican party. BY
force of brains, brilliance and experience
he Is easily first among Republican
leaders. and he owes this premiership
chiefly TO the acuteness and swiftness
with which he perceives public sentiment,
and the promptness and adriotness with
which he springs forward as its champ
ion.
To no one in the least acquainted with
the character of this political leader
could there be more striking evidence
of the growing demand for free trade
than Mr.. Blaine's sudden advocacy Of
reciprocity. That the man who but a
short time ago so dramatically flashed
across the sea his definance to President
Cleveland when the latter placed himself
at the head of hetariff reformers, is now
the man to step forth and command his
party TO halt and turn back from the
very road toward which he directed it,
Is at once another manifestation of Mr..
Blaine's sagacity and another proof that
the tide has set irresistibly against the
barriers which have walled our shores
and which have made US, commercially,
a dependent province instead Of a
sovereign power.
But if the fact of Mr.. Blaine's argu-
ment is significant, the method oft is more
so. He not only forsakes the insulated
ground of the Protectionist, that free
trade is our greatest foe, but he insists
that free trade with Latin America is
thing to be coveted, and coveted so
strongly that II we can't get it in any
other way we should barter for it.

THE Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Morning Herald
says: s'Senator German has de-
monstrated his right to political
leadership. He has won the biggest
partisan battle of this Congress.
When the force bill passed the
House the Democrats were disheart-
ened and dismayed. They say that
partisanship was running wild and
that in obedience to its dictates and
in the hope of retaining power there
was q determined movement on
foot to strike at the material inter-
ial interests OF the South. While
others despaired Senator German
counseled organized, determined OPP

der, and it was we'll understood by
the Maryland Senator Is well as By
others that upon the result of the
canvass he was then preparing, de-
pended his future political fame.
But, without hesitation and with q
