Disputing the validity of a will because it
was written on the fly leaf of a Bible sounds
unreasonable, especially since the testator
was a woman. But the document was Ger
tainly a trifie vague, and the Maryland
court officers will probably have some diff
ficulty in deciding its legality. 1t was an
unique instrument, bestowing $4,000 in just
four lines. Wonderful brevity for a

Many English politicians think that the
announcement of Parneli that he has been
married to Miss O'Shea is merely a Gun
ningly devised plot on his part to show that
his attentions we're to the daughter instead
of the mother. In order to do that it would
be necessary TO sacrifice the mother and the
daughter to his personal interests. Were
they unselfish enough to permit it the supTo-
sition is beyond credence that he could be
so heartlessly selfish as to accept such a sac
rifice

THOMAS A. EDISON and 100 of his employees

almost immediately. the cessation of the light
