him to leave. He aid SO, saying that she
could "rest assured" that she would not
be disturbed again for at least = week.
She did not "rest assured" but began
preparing hot water for the advent OF the
nekt man. He came about an hour after
the departure OF the first man, but the
fear OF being scalded prevented the pro
gress OF the work. He departed, leaving
the same assurance. as hfs predecessor,
but the lady remained on the alert, and
not until she had driven five man from
her premises did she "rest assured" for
even an hour. She consulted her neigh
bora on the subject, and one told her that
the company could not interfere with
trees. She therefore transplantei plum
tree from her garden to hole which the
electric light men had dug In their sew
eral visits. The latest reports from the
scene state that the lady is now "resting

A BEAUTY AT THE LATHE.
The Prettiest Girl I'm Mount Carmel, Ct,
Working in q Machine Shop.

Prom the New York Sun.
Miss Nellie Paterson, one Of the prettiest
girls in the village of Mount Carmel q few
miles north Of New Haven. Conn. has lust COM
pleted four years apprenticeship TO the
machinists' trade. Today she is working al
her lathe and rise in the factory Of the Mount
Carmel belt company and there isn't me-
chanic in the whole shop who can do better
job or in less time than the fair young work
woman. -Four years ago. when Miss Nellie be-
gan TO think Of the means whereby she must
earn her living she looked over the whole field
Of woman's work. Among the trades or occu-
pations which the pushing women Of this coun-
try had made their own there was none she
especially liked She Was a bright girl with q
great deal of Yankee cleverness and consider
able ingenuity and inyentiyeness. The remark
was made by friend that she Was 90 fond OF
inventions she ought to become a machinist
The seed thus idly sown took root,
and she applied for place a. apprentice. For
the past four years she worked faithfully. and a
few days ago her time expired. and she Is now
a fuii-9edged machlnist. She is able to block
up piece of work on the planer or tnrn up an
arbor on the lathe. She uses the drill or ham
dies file as well as any man in the shop. Her
specially, however. is tool making. and 10 this
she proposes 10 devote herself. She also
draw plans. figure out dimensions, and from the
working drawings she can make anything. She
as not AFRAID OF the grease and CRIME of the
shop. and her beauty Is not in the least married
by long swipe of dirt across her dImpled
cheek. nor spot Of OF on her nose. Her
hands are not white those Of some Of her
sisters. but they are by no means large. though
they are strong. She Is a great fayorite with
her fellow workmen, and is the pride Of the
little country village

THE STEWART ESTATE.
The Settlement That Recognizes All the
Various Heirs.

Following is the settlement agreed on in the
Stewart will case:
First. Judge Hilton retains all that he re-
ceived during Mrs. Stewards life time and all
that he has ever claimed the right to retain.
except that he has released the estate from its
Indebtedness of S9s7.357.
Second All parties interested under the will
will receive what the terms of the will entitie
them to.
Third. The testamentary intentions Of Mrs.
Stewart in respect TO the cathedral at Garden
City receive their full effect by the conveyance
of an additional quantity of land also double
the quantity conveyed 10 it by Mrs. Stewart in
her life time and half a million of dollars in
addition TO the S30O.000 which the cathedral
now holds against the estate. and in addition
of the property upon which Mrs. Stewart ex-
pended upward OF S2,OOO,000 during her life
time.
This gives the estate left by Mrs Stewart,
after the payment OF legacies and of the cathe-
dral endowment, to the persons entitled under
her will in the following proportions: Chas. J.
Chnch takes three-tenths; Sarah y. smith,
three-tenths; the three half-ssters OF Mrs.
Stewart, one-tenth each, and the children Of
OF Mrs. Chas. l.. Butler, one-slXteenth each.
Deeds OF conveyance Of the Stewart interests
in New York. Homestead, Garden City and
Saratoga were executed and filed IN the regis
ters Office under date of January Is. Besides
the conveyance by Judge Hilton as trustee
there is one by which the Garden City cathe-
dral gives quit claim on the Stewart property.
1t is signed by Bishop Littlejohn as presiding
officer and official head. The conveyance of
Judge Hilton and the church trustees to the
heirs embraces 1872 parcels of land The deed

HARVARD ATHLETES.
No Foot Ball, Base Ball or Rowing Out
side of New England.

The athletic committee of Harvard college
makes public a series of resolutions adopted at
its last meeting. The resolutions as adopted
are as follows /. Harvard athletic organiza-
tions hereafter shall engage in intercollegiate
contests only in New England. 2. This rule
shall not apply to the Harvard athletic associa-
ton for the academic year 1SS9-'9O. 3. No one
shall be member of any university team who
is not a candidate for the Al or SB. degree,
or special student in the college or scientific
school.
This will put stop to everything outside of
the New England states with the sole excep-
ton OF the intercollegiate athletic meeting
which will doubtless be held at the Berkeley
Oval, New York. Harvard will now be unable
to play Princeton at base ball or foot ball, I'M
less, as Is altogether improbable, Princeton will
play all games in New England. The cricket
club will not be able to play any championship
contests and the interest i'll all sports will be
concentrated on the games with Yale. The
third resolution is evidently intended to pre-
vent law-school men from taking part in inter-
cOlleQiate contests

A Mothers Terrible Crime.

The wife of James Mcneil, jr., who lives near

yesterday with her four children and shot
three OF them with revolver. Mcneil heard
the report of the revolver and rushing to the
door met his wife chasing her oldest child out
of the room. The woman had forced the child
to drink carbolic acid and had taken some of
the stuff herself. One of the children died in
stantly from the revolver wound and one died
soon afterward. A baby, three weeks old,
was shot through both lungs, but is still alive.
The woman and the little girl to whom she gave
the acid are alive and she may recover. Mrs
Mcneil gives as her reason for the deed that
she was i'll and had no hopes of getting well
and wanted her sufferings ended at once

Jack Dempsey Sick,

Jack Dempsey's illness at San Francisco has
taken serious turn and it is feared that he is
in the first stages of consumption. The Nonpa-
reil has been suffering from a severe cold for
several days and there is no doubt now but
what his fight with Mccarthy will have to be
postponed and perhaps declared off. lie now
weighs only 1874 pounds, twenty pounds less
than his fighting weight. Dempsey has been
in poor health ever since his fight with La
Blanche and it is argued that his defeat is
chiefly responsible for his present condition.
