The case of Mordecai c. Mckinstry, adj
ministrator, VS.. the Western Maryland Col
lege, was heard by the Orphans Court on
Wednesday last.
This suit is TO determine the rights of the
college under certain writing which is con-
tanned in the Bible of Miss Mamie NJ. Nc
Kinstry, late of McKinstry's Mills, this coun-
ty, who graduated from the college in 1879.
After the death of Miss McKinstry, the
following in her hand writing was found upon
the fly leaf of her Bible:
"S5 900 for West. Nd. College-Sl, 900 of
it to be given to the Theological Summary,
81 900 to Ward Hall. The $4,000 to be
given to the main college.
MAMIE McKlNsTRY,
July 1Sth 1888.
The college having learned from Miss Sal
lie McKinstry, the sister of the deeedent, that
the deceased shortly before her death had
shown her the writing in the Bible and ex
pressed her desire that her wishes should be
carried out, offered the writing for probate in
the Orphans Court as the will of Miss Me-
Kinstry, under which it is entitled to the sum
named as legacy from her.
A caveat was filed by Mordecai c. Me-
Kinstry, the Administrator Of Miss Mckin'
stry, obiecting to the probate OF the paper,
claiming that it is not her will and was not
intended by her to operate as such
After hearing arguments by Hon. Charles
B. Roberts on behalf of the caveator, and
Thomas A. Murray, Esq, as counsel for the
College, the court decided in favor of the
caveator, and against the admission of the
paper to probate.
An appeal has been entered by counsel for
the college and the case will be re-argued by
the respective counsel before the Court of
Appeals at the ensuing (October) term.
Ii is understood that the decision OF the
Orphans Court is not considered as affecting
the claims of the college, as it was the desire
and intention of the respective counsel TO
have the Court of Appeals determine the
legal character and effect of this writing.
The case presents novel and interesting
question of testamentary law, resembling
somewhat the well known Hoppe will case.

may imagine that his physical economy
is in salubrous activity, and friends in
the immediate environment protest
that all is well, but incredulity meets
their assurances, and the troubled hearts
refuse to be quiet. 1t will be remem-
bered how the Republicans were
so long distressed about the con-
dition of MIR. TLDEN. They could
not persuade themselves that dis
ease was not eating out his vitals, and
that pail of grief was not to come to
shadow their hearts. Now the people
who think Mr.. HARRISON should have
another term at Washington are in the
sorrowful depths of the BELIEF that Mr..
BLAINE is hopelessly afflicted. They
see an air of mystery all about him, and
diScredit any assurances he may him
self or those about him may give of his
favorable condition. An incurable dis
ease has its fangS upon his receding
vitality, and they became intensely
anxious that no political agitation shall
disturb the peace of his rapidly flowing
passage to the shades. He might write
a letter that would afford great relief.

TROUBLE IN CHURCH.
Reformed Presbyterians Have a
High Old Time.

PITTsBURG, May 29.-The scenes this
morning at the session of the Reformed
Presbyterian church synod were, per-
haps. without parallel in church
history. The very animated pro-
ceedings were introduced by Rev.
David McAllister, moderator of the
PittSburg presbytery, who, after reiter-
ating charges against Rev. j. G. K. Nc
Milligan and J. G. Carson. editor of The
News Letter, the official organ of the
synod. preferred charges of libel against
Rev. n. M. Johnston and Rev. L. s. r.
Milligan. This caused a tremendous
sensation and it is soundly denounced
as Presbyterian and particularly de-
plorable. Rev. McAllIster with
stood the trying onslaught against
him calmly, ana when order had been
restored he began reading from pri
vate letter, written by one of the sus-
pended ministers to friend. just after
the meeting of the Pittsburg preSbytery.
The letter was couched in unministerial
language. Sarcastically referring to the
tribunal which found the writer
guilty of following divisive courses.
A score or more Of indignant min
listers vigorously denounced DR.. Meal
lister for attempting to read the letter,
when it was evident it had its purpose,
and was solely to create feeling
against the accused. Rev. Dr. Carson
offered resolution that the synod ex-
press its diSapproval of the course pur-
sued by DIR. McAllister. 1t was promptly
seconded from all parts of the house.
Finally the moderator referred the ques-
ton, and the point was decided not to
be we'll taken. When this was an
nouncedi Dr.. McA lister, very pale, ,and
trembling in every limb, beat the air
with his arms and cried out: Il will not
stand by and see ministers of this church
disregard every law and rule of
the church. will at all
times, and do, enter my protest
against these elder men leading
our young ministers from the proper
and only course to be followed by min
listers. If am to go down fighting in
this cause, will go down with my col
ors flying. If the church is to be
wrecked by the ACTIONS of few, | want
to be found standing firmly on the rock
upon which the covenanter church
was established" When order had
been restored. several ministers followed
each other in most Scathing remarks OH
DIR. McAlliSter'S unprecedented proceed
ure. The moderator attempted to pass
the matter quietly by, announcing de-
votional exercises, but a cry from all
parts of the house arose, No. nOi We
want to vote on DR.. Carson's resolu-
ton. Don't shut us Off in this man
ner". The moderator then put the
motion that the synod expressed its
disapprobation of Rev. Dr.. McAllister's
action in introducing the trouDle-creat
ing letter. The resolution also proyid
ed that DR.. McAlister be severely CEN
sured for his conduct. Then vote was
taken, the ayes made the church fairly
tremble, while those opposed to the
resolution were very few. After being
thus so forcibly ''sat down upon" DIR.
McAllister retired in confusion.

The sun upon the Weirdlaw hill,
The Ettrick' vale. is sinking sweet;
The Westiand wind is hiIshing STILL
The lake lies sleeping at my feet;
Yet not the landscape to mine eye
Bears those bright hues that once it bore:
Through evening, with her richest dye,
Flames o'er the hills of Ettrick's shore.
With listless look along the plain,
see Tweed s silver current glide
And coldly mark the holy fame
OF Melrose rise in ruin d pride;
The quiet lake, the balmy air
The hill, the stream. the tower, the tree.
Are they still such as once they were,
Or is the dreary change in me?
This is the subject from which the picture
of this magnificent drop curtain was taken.
The curtain is draped at the top and sides
with dark brown plush, or what the artists
term lions name, looped back with cords.

ing inlaid with lace hangings, the whole
combining to make a picture that will be

article upon irrigation in South Dakota

alton and valuable details in regard to
the subject Of artificial watering of
the ground for agricultural purposes.

good deal OF time on the ground gather

slonS, and his facts Will do much to turn
favorable attention to that state. He
speaks only of the region east of the
Missouri river, and finds that aside from
the sections that center at Yankton and
Sioux Falls, the need of irrigation is
general. In the James river valley
there has been an apparently in
ereasing scarcity of moisture at
the critical periods in the growth
OF crops. No country IN the world
has such natural provision for
meeting this need. The entire region
has an available artesian supply. All

MEN WE MEET.

Thomas Foley, the new proprietor Of the
Standard Billiard hail. is a veteran pa
tron OF legitimate sports. He has owned
several famous thoroughb-eds during his
career, but the latter-day tendency towards
converting the race track into a yeritabIe
gambling institution SO thoroughly disguised
him that he has sold his horses and with
drawn his support. There is no longer any
encouragement offered the man who will
breed heet-footed racers he said to a GLoBE
reporter at the Merchants last night The
track is made so completely subservient to
the purposes of the gamblers that the admirer
Of the best pieces of horseiesh are terribly
wearied. Let me explain he pursued, as
several interested parties took seats to listen.
Just as soon as it is demonstrated that q
horse has the mettle and can outfoot a field
he Is weighted down so as to place him on a
betting par with a scrub. Now, this fast
horse is worth, for illustration, a paddock
full of other animals, but they fix him so it is
no certainty that he can win a race The re-
suit Is tn. best of them adopt tricky tactics
They pull their horses and lose pur-
posely in order to have weights
thrown off. Then they go in
and win again. This is not honest but the
owner is absolutely driven to the.guse. Other
wise he would not have fair chance. His
horse is capable of making time close up TO
the record, but he is cheated out of several
seconds by the track rules, and finally he is
broken down and ruined. Trotting and pac-
ing comes nearer being honest sport Yet it
is old fogyish. l would like to see the trot-
ting track rules changed 50 that a race may
be won i'll a single heat. For different ages
different distances could be made The colt,
for instance, could be sent for halt or
three-quarters of a mile, and then graded up
until the old campaigners are sent for two;
three or five miles. Under such conditions
every horse would be sent to win, because no
one would know what the relative speed of
the others were. There would be no combi-
nations, no pockets against the fastest
horse. l think the time will come when the
horse breeders of the country will assert
their rights and become masters of the race
course to the discontinue of the gamblers
