property now sufficiently taxed, which
would abolish entirely the state taxes of our

time, give revenue for the support of our
free public schools of round million Of

LILLIAN MoRpucA A WIDOW
Can She Claim Letters Of Admins
tration on Her Husbands Property?


The Providence special to the Boston
Record referring to the suit by Nine.
Lillian Nordica the prima-dona-formerly
known as Lillian Norton of Maine-for
letters of administration on her husbands
property says that NINE Nordica's husband
who was f. A. Cover, who commenced
life as commercial reporter in providence
and who went up in a balloon and was
never heard from afterwards-gave his
brother absolute power of attorney in his
affairs. Cover had been living on grand
scale. After he disappeared his brother
went abroad, but singularly enough could
not find trace of Fred's money o. valuables.
The widow was close on his Leels. but was
equally unsuccessful. G. l.. Cover re-
turned to this country. and went to Washing
ton Territory to live. He invested over
$4,000 in Tacoma real estate, and this
property, which is now worth 100000, is
the bone of contention. Mrs. +. A. Cover,
the tuneful widow, insists that the money
came from her late husbands funds, and
rightfully belongs to her.
She has retained CASTOR g. Whitney of
Boston to push her claim, who will doubt
less accept Oscar Lapham of Providence. as
referee in the taking of testimony.
There is one question of fact. and one
question of law to be determined. Is she a
widow? Nobody knows. Her husband has
never been heard from, after starting on the
balloon trip Also, can she claim letters of
administration, before the expiration of the
seven years that must elapse after a persons
disappearance. before testamentary letter
can be granted.

Of the week the seventy men draw lots for a
watch valued at $40. The winner pulls out
of the pool. The next week the remaining
sixty-nine men pool in $780, and one of the
number draws watch. The third week the
remaining sixty-eight members draw for a
watch, having pooled In SOS. and so the
the racket goes on until thirty-fve of the
seventy men have draw thirty-fve watches.
The remaining thirty-fve members receive a
watch each, without putting up any more
money. twill be seen that while each of
the last thirty-five me has paid $35 apiece
for his watch, the first man of the seventy
paid but one dollar for his, the second two
dollars, and so on up to the thirty-hf The
watches are what are called filed watches,
and jsweller says he would be glad to con.
tract to sell them for eighteen dollars apiece,
The total amount paid in is $3.50, making
the cost of each watch $26.S5 81. If eighteen
dollars is a fair price for each watch the con.
tractor gets $500 profit.
