WILL CoNTasT gLoRnN oE's WILL.
His Brother and Sister Dispute the
Widows Right.

His Brother and Sister Dispute the
Widows Right.
The will of the late actor William ].
Florence, filed for probate last Tuesday,
leaving an estats of $500, 900 to his wife
says the New York Press, with be contested
by the four brothers and sister of the actor,
who received nothing. Their contention is
that codicil. now missing, had been added
to the will which provided for them.
The will, together with securities and
other valuables OF the late Mr.. Florence
was placed in the safe deposit vaults Of the
Second National Bank, under the Fifth
Avenue hotel, where Mr. Florence and his
wife jointly rented box
Upon the actors death no one was al
lowed access to the box until Mrs. Florence
returned from Europe, when she opened it
and placed the viii IA her lawyers hands
for probate. No such codicil as the family
claims was made was found, the only refer
ence 70 them being provision that in case
Mrs. Florence died first the estate was to be
distributed among them.
The contestants of the will are Police In
spactor Peper ]. Conlin, Edward B. Conlin,
John Coplin, who is a paralytic, livingwith
bis wife and four daughters at No. 377 West
Thirty-second street; Benjamin Conlin and
Mrs. Mary ]. Mart OF Washington, a
widow. They claim that Mr.. Florence spoke
Of having made provision for them and also
Of having left his library, valued at SIC, 900,
to the actors fund. They claim that as
Mrs. Florence has been abroad two years
the codicil was very likely written after sho
left.
Edward Conlin, who has charge Of the
case for the contestants, said yesterday that,
while IL had not been absolutely determined,
1t was reasonably sure the will would be
contested.
Mrs. Florence says she knew OF no such
ccdicil as her late husbands relatives speak
Of She is with her sister, Mrs. Barney
Williams, at 148 West Seventy-second
street, and refuses 10 see callers.
With the exception Of Inspector ConIin
all the contestants are In very moderate
circumstances

A MAMMOTH OAK TREE.

The Giant of the Forest That Stands
Sentinel Near Fox Chase.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 20.-A giant oak,
which was king Of the forest at the time
William Penn bought the ground from the
Indians, and which now rivals in size many
of the enormous trees Of California, stands
alone In solemn grandeur ON old Pine road,
about three miles above Fox Chase. This
mammoth white oak is still sound and
healthy, and measures twenty-seven feet
In circumference, OF about nine feet In diam
eter. The first branch which shoots out
from the parent trHnk measures nine feet
six inches In circumference. and extends
out the enormous length OF over seventy
feet.
Tradition says that 1t was beneath the
branches OF thib giant oak that the Indians
held many of thor councils Of war, and OF
late years several camp-meetings have been
held under its shade, while the worshipers
listened to eioquent sermons from many
celebrated divines

The boys black their own boots, and
"catch it" if their boots are not prop.
erly cleaned, and if the blacking brushes
DO not look at all times reasonably re-
spectacle. The monitors and first Gre
clans are not compelled to clean their
own boots, some younger boy is expected
20 perform the operation for them, but
Tor this the younger boy must be paid,
that is according to the rules, and Of
course the rules are obeyed. The cicerone
said that no tagging was practiced. BE
added the saving clause, "so far as ]
know"
To be admitted to the school boy
must not be younger than ten or older
than eleven years. The school is in
tended "for children of persons distin-
guished in literature, science or art, or
in the service of the Crown, or those
who have rendered services to the public
or to Christ's Hospital; for children of
iverymen of certain city companies. !"
Children are also admitted now by COM
petition, 50 that brains, and not poverty,
is an open sesame. Admission is by pre-
sentation of a Governor-there are 300
Governors-or of the Council of al.
monors.
According to the rules, no child shall
be admitted whose parents or relations
do not need assistance toward the educa-
ton and maintenance of such child.

BLUECOAT BOYS.
CHARITY PUPILS OF ONE OF
LONDON'S INSTITUTIONS.
How the Boys Are Dressed-TauSht
to Take Care of Themselves
Their Big Dining Room
Mode of Admission.

Two boys who strobe along the Strand
couple of days ago attracted quite
enoug h attention to satisfy them, per-
haps more. They were dressed alike,
though one was q tall, black haired,
olive complexioned fellow, not bit
English in appearance, while the other
was rather short, had very broad shoul-
ders, red cheeks, and short curly hair,
in color about two shades darker than an
ordinary halo. Neither of them wore
anything but hair upon their heads. As
they strobe along at good swinging
pace the long and loose tailed blue coats
which they wore tapped familiarly about
their yellow.stockinged legs.
The coats were fastened about the
waist by narrow leather belts that re-
sembled old-fashioned skate straps. A
dozen silver buttons-at any rate, they
looked like silver-ran in straight line
from point six inches below the chin
down to the leather belt. A long and
narrow piece of white linen. which COW
cred the top three buttons, repre-
sented a collar and gave the boys a
clerical cut. Their stockings were yel-
Iowa robust shade of canary. Their
shoes were low and large. 1t seemed to
be there was great waste of leather IN
them, but this did not appear to bothor
the boys.
The pair were "Bluecoat" boys from
Christ's Hospital school. Everybody in
London knows the school, and has often
seen the boys. Strangers always look at
them with great interest, ask what they
are, and, having found out, pay visit
to Christ's Hospital and walk over as
much of that interesting aud ancient pile
as the gatekeeper with the black fop hat
with the silver lace band will permit.
Londoners will not see so much of the
boys in future, as the school is to be re.
moved.
The school dates from the reign Of Ed
ward W., and his statue is among the
many interesting features of the great
structure at which one can get a peep
