Wife Of West Virginias Representative IN the
Ssnate-It Shows Her Noble Character and
Forttude When Duty Bsck)ned-HapEily
Anticipated Results Did Not Fol-

Special TELEGRAM 10 the sunday Re0lster.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-An incident in the
life of the late Mrs Senator Faulkner,
which forcibly illustrates her frmness and
nobility Of character, has since her death
been commented upon no little By many Of
her friends in Washington to whom it was
known Mrs Faulkner was well informed
in politics, and took a olive interest in the
fight last session on the Force Bill. She
understood and appreciated fully the nee
ce ,sity which kept every Democratic men,
ber of the Senate in his place during that
contest On the mOrnng before Senator
Faulkner made his twelve hours speech
on that bill, he told her on leaving home
that that night the duty would probably
devolve upon him 10 take the floor and hold
il for number of hours, and that con
sequently she might not.eXpect him home
until the next day. Towards evening his
youngest daughter, lovely little child, and
the pride of the house, was taken sud
denly and dangerously i'll, and in Z short
time her condition became extremely
alarming
The Senator having been told early in
the evening that his little daughter was
| slightly indispOsed. while not dreaming
that il was more than a slight cold, yet
wished his mind set at rest before he took
the floor TO hold il all night, and asked his
| Secretary TO step over TO the house, which
is near the Capitol, and bring him word
how she was. Upon Mr.. Syme's arrival
he found the child in the hands of two
doctors, who were even then taking
the most heroic efforts to save a
life which hung trembling in the balance.
Recognizing that the child was almost at
deaths door, he asked Mrs. Faulkner
whether he should tell the Senator the con-
dition in which she was lying. Mrs Faux
ner, after inquiring of MIN the exact con-
dition of affairs in the Senate, said simply,
tell him not 10 give himself the slightest
uneasiness about Sallie." Mr. Syme,
knowing that il was purely "a matter Of
chance whether or not the child would
live through the night, was almost un-
willing to deliver the message, and
asked bv whose authority he must
deliver it. Her answer was worthy of &
Roman matron; with a frmness that left NO
room for hesitation. she said: MIR Faux
ners duty is TO be at his post in the Senate
tonight; TO tell him of his daughters con
diton might unnerve him for the ordeal
! before him. Take the message TO him upon
my authority, and mine alone"
Through the long vigils of the night she
only left the bedside of the child TO look
out through the darkness to where she
could see the flag floating above the Senate
in the light reflected from the Chamber,
hoping eacn time she looked TO see that the
| flag was down. and the SenaJe adjourned
BY morning the balance had turned in the
cnild's favor, and it was not until the
senator returned that afternoon tn At be
was informed how near the Angel of Death
had been the night before.

JUDGE CAMOEN'5 WILL.

Probabilities of Its Being Contes ted.
Prominent Counsel Mentioned.
Special Telegrsia to the Sunday Register.
CLARKsBURG. w. VA, May 2.-The will
of the late Judge G. D. Camden has not
been probated, and, from the present out
look, may never be. 1t, however, has been
read, and its contents are the constant
topic of conversation. 1t contains but few
provisions, bequeathing five hundred dol
lars each to Mrs. Sommers and Mrs Rams
burg, his daughters; five hundred dollars
each to Genevieve Boggess and Wilson
Camden, his grandchildren, and five hun
dred dollars each TO HOrner Davis and
Eddie Davis, his step-children; one hun
dred thousand dollars TO Myra Camden,
his second wife, in pursuance of marriage
contract. and all the residue of his estate,
personal and real, estimated by those who
are competent to Judge at "A quarter of a
million dollars, to his second wife, Myra
Camden.
The will is the subject of considerable
criticism, and the opinion generally is that
it is harsh will, especially as it virtually
disinherits those of his own blood. 1t Is
conceded that there will be a contest, and
it is rumored that John Basel, John A.
Hutchinson, n. Goff and Alpheus Hay
mond, prominent lawyers, have been re
tanned for the contestants.
