The Sad Misunderstanding That Occupied
the Mind of "A Farmer Wife.
Up in a little Pennsylvania town
perched on the top Of the Alleghanies
lives a patriarchal negro known as
.'Old Booey." On the first day Of the
week he leads a small flock of his Eel
low countrymen in their devotional e1-
~ercises. ~expounding To them the law,
with many commentaries strictly his
own. The other six days he devotes
70 gathering bones from far and near,
which, after a sufficient quantity has
been accumulated, he conveys 10 a
fertilizer factory in a neighbOring city,
where such wares find "a ready market.
So great has been his diligence in this
good work that the neighborhood long
since became thoroughly picked of it,

Special Telegram 10 tie Register
WAsHINGToN, ID. c., February 25.--
The loss of a day in the Senate to-day
because of the death of Senator Wilson
threatens to make 1t impossible for the
Republicans to carry out their program
OF legislation for the session. They
will now do very well II they can get
the regular appropriation bills through
before noon on the 4th day OF
March. The setting aside Of
tomorrow and Friday in the House for
discussing the subsidy shipping bill
makes it almost certain the measure
will be put through that body. The
Republicans now claim they have a
quorum of their own members here,
and II they have they are in position
TO do what they want, but as the ship
ping bill will be amended in important
particulars before it p sses the House,
this may cause it's failure in the Senate
for lack of time TO DISCUSS it. In fact,
the Senate can hardly complete conSid-
Grafton of the appropriation bills even
by sitting at night before the hour of
final adjournment.
II the Republicans have, as they claim
a quorum of their own here and can
hold all their members until the end OF
the session it is likely they will attempt
TO take up the contested election cases
on the third OF March. They will en-
deavor TO remove Mr. Anderson. OF West
Virginia, and Bullock, of Florida, put
in McGinnisS and Goodrich for the pur-
pose of being able to make them a pres
ent of $4,000 salary for the two years
they have not served in Congress, but
the amount of work still remaining to
be done on the appropriation bills may
prevent any attempt at getting the con-
tested election cases up.

4 Sensational VIII Case

NEW YORK. February 25.-There was
sensation in store for the afternoon
session of the hearing in the contest of
the will Of the leather merchant Fayer-

various colleges. Henry d. Vaughan,
while on the witness stand said that he,
Thomas C.. Ritch and Justice l.. Bulk
lev had Joined in an instrument relin-
gushing any claims to the residuary
estate. As the reSiduary estate was
considered To be- worth from one
million to- million and 4
half to them as Il reSiduary
legatee, the Importance of their action
is apparent. 1t knocks the bottom out
of the main purpose OF the contest.
Prior % this by consent of counsel the
will was admitted to probate. In view
of these concessions and by the will
standing divested Of cOdicils, Ritch and
Bulkley will receive the residue in
trust to divide among the colleges and
hospitals mentioned in the will.
