In a case brought to compel a
school board to prohibit the teachers

pupils, the Wisconsin Supreme
Court decided unanimously Tuesday
that as Christians differ on doctrinal
points evolved from the Scriptures,
the reading Of the Bible in the
schools must be considered sectarian
and repugnant to the constitution.

TRUST FOR cnARITY,
Mr.. Fayerweather's Executors Say
HIS money Was Given Them.

New YORK, December 15-The contest
over the will of d. B. Fayerweather, (which
Is to bs made by his widow, Mrs. Lucy Fay
erweather, was placed In new light by the
statement on behalf of the three executors,
j. L. Bulkley, TG. Rtch and 81. B. Vaughan
that they are not to receive one dollar of
personal benefit under the provision of the
will by which they are to take absolutely
the residue of the estate. The residue is to
be put to uses for the good OF the public ac-
cOrding to the wishes Of Mr. Fdyerweather,
which are perfectly understood by the execu-
tvrs.
The executors held consultation at the
office of Armour, RiIch 81 Wood. ord. Alter
1t was over, Mr.. Ritch said. he could say
nothing about the matter, but that MS part
ner, General Woodford, would give all the
information that the executors thought best
should be made public.
"Mr. Fayerwrather," said General Wood
ford, in answer to a question as to whether
the executors were to take the residue under
any conditions or private understanding,
was wise, prudent man, who had definite
purposes that he wished carried out. He
gave mis- residuary estate absolutely to his
executors. He chose three men In whose
honor and good jadgne4t i,e had confidence.
He sought TO avoid suck troubles as have
arisen in the Tilden will. His executors
know his wishes. They propose to carry
them out faIthfully-sO TO use the beQuest to
them as will be for the public good and not
at all for their private advantage. By Mr..
Fayerweather's request IL will be distributed
In their discretion among educational insti-
tutiOns."
The value of the estate could not be told.
Mr.. WoOdford said, until an inventory had
be, n taken. 1t would probably be, however,
between $4, ,0O0, 900 and S5,000,000 1t c0u,d
not be stated when an inventory would be
taken, but if the surrogate should appoint
a temporary administrator, 1t would proba-
bly, be taken by him. If the estate proves
to be- of the value it is estimated at by the
executors, the residuary estate will be be-
tween 81, ,O00, 900 and S2,OO0,000.

the cusrER MASSACRE

advance party Of General Alfred II. Terry's
column. Custer came upon the Indians In
their camp on the Little Big Horn river and
attacked, with the result so we'll known. The
Indians were then pursued nOrthward by
Gen Terry. Sitting Bull, with part Of his
band, made his escape into British territory

IN A MEXICAN PRISON.
The Mate of a 6atn Vessel the VIC
tim of InJu stlce.

SAN FRANCISCO. December 15.-Another
American citizen is reported to be languish-
ing In a Mexican prison. Steamer San
Juan brought the news from Acapulco that
Frank Ford, an American, has been in Drls-
on there for two years. In December, 1888,
Ford, who was third mate ON the schooner
Iudlaua, became involved In quarrel with
the first mate and in ,rlf-defence killed his
adversary. The Indiana hailed from Bath,
Me, the officers and crew being natives Of
the Pine Tree state Tue killing occurred
in the port of Acapulco. and young Ford was
taken ashore by the local authorities and
placed in prison. After a few months his
trial occurred, out the testimony was sent to
the judge in another city and he held the
papers for year when he sent back the
condemnation and sentence of Ford to 20
years imprisonment. When this decision
reached Acapulco, the judge of the tirst in-
stance, who believed FUId innocent of muir
der, allowed him to take his case to the court
of appeals in the City Of Mexico, where the
case has evidently been filed away in a pig
con hole Ford laBguishes in a miserable
Jail at Acapulco and gets scarcely enough
food to keep hin alive. His friends talk of
laying his case before the authorities in
Washington.
