CHICAGO, Oct. ga large number OF
military men from all parts of the
United States met here today to discuss
the representation at the worlds fair OF
the military bodies OF the country.
Many prominent men are present.
Major General Miles stated that he
would like to have grand national en-
campment of one hundred thousand
men at the fair. The European countries
all have gigantic reviews, and the nat
ional guard, if it wishes to become a
great element of strength, must get to-
gether in national convention. General
Miles thought the government should
pay for the transportation of militia
from the different states to Chicago.
Major Ben Truman stated that he
was instructed by the acknowledgement of
California, to say that that state would
send a regiment here, and that perhaps
considerable money would be raised to
defray expenses.
A resolution setting fourth the expe-
diency OF military display at the dedi-
cation Of the exposition, and also that
as the exposition company was to fur
nish shelter and subsistence, the several
states should pay for the transportation
of their own troops, was introduced, but
before any action was taken the conyen-
fion adjourned.

BOYER Again or-the Rack.

HARR1sBuRG, Pa, Oct. 27.-In the
senate, today, the encouragement re-
quested State Treasurer Boyer to be
again placed on the stand. Counsel for
Boyer objected, contending that the
case against Boyer closed Friday. The
encouragement asserted that the case
had been closed without his knowledge.
Boyer was finally called and testified
that he had hot been party to any agree
ment by which interest was paid to any
one, and knew nothing of the payment
OF money to Bardsley by the Keystone
bank, or by Bardsley to Quay. On
cross-examination, Boyer stated that he
never knew Bardsley had state funds in
the Keystone bank till he read it in the
newspapers; that he knew, from the
weekly published statements, that
Bardsley had plenty Of Philadelphia
funds in that bank.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 27.-The boats of
the California Navigation and Improve
ment company now run for eight
months of the year from San Francisco
to Firebaugh, and if canal were built,
they could run right into Fresno. 1.-THE
people of Stockton are going to join in
getting the work DONE" said Manager
Corcoran, of the Navigation and I'm
provement company, today, 'and 1
am now in communication with those
engineering the project in Fresno.
What l would like to see would be a
series OF locks between Stockton and
Fresno. The communication between
that point and San Francisco could be
had by water all the year round. To
build these locks would cost 81 900, 900,
but the difference between a profitable
boat rate and the present railroad rate
would more than pay the cost in twelve
months. The completion of such a
work would be of vast Importance, as it
would open up a waterway for Merced,
Fresno, Tulare and Kern.

stage as on. 1 asked her to tell me
something about the dance for the
benefit of the readers of the HERALD.
oh, there is not much can say.
You see it and that is about all there is
to it. 1t is great fun. but the exercise
is violent and it tires one.
Edith Kenward, an English girl,
was the first one to dance it in New
York, when DIR. Bill was first produc
there. 1t made great hit right away.
Then Louise Allen danced it, succeeding
Miss Kenward, and then l took the
part.

or Gaiety dance. with lots of lace skirts.

is needed in the kangaroo dance

ADJUSTMENTS.

DR.. Bill, the Kangaroo Dance and the
Dancer.
DR.. Bill is billed at the opera house
for season of three nights beginning
next Monday. The play is said to be a
very clever farce. Its distinguishing
feature, according to the posters and
photographs is the Kangaroo dance.
Mr.. Henry L. Merritt, the San Fran
cisco correspondent of the HERALD,
writes as follows of the play, dance and
dancer:
"The Kangaroo dance in DR.. Bill has
created sensation in San Francisco. 1t
has, wherever it has been seen, for that
matter. 1t is as odd conceit as was
ever imagined. 1t is in the nature of
surprise and might be described as a
saltatorial bon-bon.
Zone OF the surprising things about
the dance, in connection with DR.. Bill,
is that it is not dragged in as a specially
but actually introduced as part of the
coherent action of the farce, although
the dance is itself anything but coher-
ent. The scene is the residence of
young physician, recently married and
retired from active practice. The young
doctor is alone. A lady is announced.
She enters, bright-eyed, effervescent
damsel dressed in flaming red, Miss
Fauntleroy, danseuse of the Frivolity
theater, and one of the doctors
former patients. The doctor used
to be gay young dog, and
Miss Fauntleroy asks if he has forgotten
the jolly times they used to have, and if
he remembers the kangaroo dance? 'It
goes like this" she says, Cumming the
tune.)
" No, it goes like this
Z" That's it. Now, I'll dance to YOU
&c No, I'll dance to you>'
"The little red-robed figure is holding
her arms with hands dropping like the
forepaws of kangaroo. She leaps into
the air, then hops thither and thither,
and then with kick towards the cell
ing whirls away in the abandon of the
dance, a dance which is simply inde-
scribable. The members of the DOCTORS
family rush in, and the curtain goes
down with whizz upon scene of wild
confusion. 1t is very exhilarating, a
sort of theatrical cocktail, as it were.
"Belle Stokes is the name Of the young
lady who plays Miss Fauntleroy and de-
lights the blase theater-goer with the
kangaroo dance. She is the daughter of
on old circus manager, and as sparkling
and. vivacious a little woman off the

THE rILDEN TRUST vorD.
The Supreme Court Decides I'm Favor
of the Heirs.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 27.-The court of
appeals rendered decision this morn
ing in the case of George II. Tilden VS..
Andrew E. Green and others, as exec
utors, etc., appellants, and Laura B.
Hazard ct al, respondents, affirming
Judgment with costs to all parties out Of
the estate. This renders the Tilden
trust void, and is in favor of the heirs.
Under the statute of distribution that
regulates the inheritance of the proper
ty at Issue, Mrs. Pelton and Henry A.
Tlden, sister and brother of Governor
Tilden, come in for equal shares Of
$S,O00,O 600. Mrs. William B. Hazard is
the only heir on Mrs. Pelton's side, and
is thus entitled to 100000. The other
$4,000, 900 is subject to division among
Jour children, named George III. Tilden,
s. j. Tilden, Jr., Mrs. William B. Whit
tessey, Mrs. Swan, widow who lives in
New Lebanon, Mrs. Willis s. Payne and
Mrs. Schwartz, of New York city.
Judge Brown in his opinion, says in
substance: "Unles5 within the rules
which control the courts in the const1uc-
tion of wills, we can separate the pro-
vision in reference to the Tilden trust
from the general direction as to the dis
position of testator's residuarys sestate,
contained in the last clause of the thir-
ty-ffth article, and find therein that
preferential right to some or all of such
estate is given to that institution, when
incorporated, and one which the court
at suit of said institution could enforce
within the two lives which limit the
trust, we must declare such provision OF
the will invalid. There is no discretion
to be exercised upon the question
whether the property shall go
to charitable purposes. DiscIe-
tion there is as to the objects
of charity, but none as to the general
disposition of the estate. The object
and purpose of the testator is the devo-
tion of his estate 90 charity"
The Judge goes on to say that the
Tilden trust does not represent any
alternate or primary purpose in the dis
position of the estate, but is simply a
suggested instrument to execute tesla
tors scheme for the disposition of his
property. The Tilden trust takes moth
ing by virtue of will. The residuary
estate is vested in trustees, and it is
solely by their action that it is to be-
come vested in the Tilden trust. Every
expression used in the will indicates the
bestowal of complete discretionary
power to convey or not to convey, and
the creation and bestowal of such power
in executors is wholly opposed to and
fatal to the existence OF executary de-
