JARNDYCE VERSUS JARNDYCE.
A New Move In the Most Famous Inheri-
tance Law Snit I'm Hisfnrx

| A New Move in the Most Famous Inheri-
tance Law Suit in History.
NEW YORK, Sept. H-Among the passen-
gers on the Alaska, which arrived Wednes-
| day, were Nicholas Moody, a London solici-
tor, and Henry Pouchette, of London. Their
errand here is to consult with American
claimants to the estates of Earl Howe. Liti-
CATION over the estates has been in progress
for nearly century. 1t is PROBABLY the
most famous lawsuit in history. Dickens
made it the basis of Jarndyce versus Jarn-
dyce in "Fhe Bleak House." The amount
involved is now estimated variously from
Sl00, ,000, 600 to $50 000, 900.
The case is known in England as the Jen-
mems case: from William Jennens, who died
in l79S. He was the richest commoner in
England. His real estate was seized by
Lady Sophia Charlotte CURSOR, afterward
Baroness Howe, in behalf of her son, George
Augustus William Cursor, who died during
his infancy in 1850. The claimants to the
Jennens property claim that Lady CURSOR
concealed the death of her son and substi-
tuted for him the child OF a village girl
Ann Oakes. This child Lady Cursor named
Richard william Penn Curson and had him
educated according to the manners of the
time as would become the son of tilted peo-
pie When he reached his majority Lady
Cursor bought for him at an immense ex-
pense the title of Earl Howe. which title
had lapsed several years before.
The present Earl Howe is the grandson of
this boy. Throughout the country the de-
scendants of the Jennens family have been
searching for proofs to establish their claim
They assert that in many instances the de-
PENDANTS have mutilated records, and even
defaced gravestones in order to prevent
them from getting the evidence they needed.
Many people, of course, have lost their for
tunes in this litigation. Among them was u
Philadelphil woman. whose share in the
suit cost her $50 600.
In America l3O claimants to share in the
estate have been discovered. Not all of
them have been discouraged, and it is to
meet them that Messrs. Moody and Pouch
ette are here. They have brought the whole
case with them, and it consists of an incred-
ible mass of documents. The present head
claimant is Benjamin Willis, hneal de-
scendant of Jennens. He claims to have
discovered new evidence recently that will
tend to prove that the first two Earls Howe
were aware of the fraud practiSed by Lady
Cursor. This enables them to reopen litiga-
ton, and papers we're served upon the Earl
early last month,

Splendid Scientific Results.
LONDON, Sept. ia dispatch says that
William Astor Chandler's expedition to e1-
plore a region OF Eastern Africa has started
from Zanzibar for Somaliland, q country ex-
tending along the coast of Africa from
Abyssfnia to Cane Guardafui. The expedi-
ton will ascend the Tana river to Mount
Kenia, a constantly snow-clad mountain
$1,000 feet above the level of the sea, a river
descending from which is supposed to flow
to the Victoria Nyanza. Thence the ex-
plorers will proceed for Lake Rudolph,
taking observations and securing much
scientific knowledge OF the country which
they will traverse
Mr.. Chandler, who is young man, left
this city in the early part of J une on his way
to Africa. The English Government gave
him all the facilities necessary for his ex-
ploring expedition in the matter of
anshipment of stores and arms. Much in
terest is manifested in scientific and geo
graphical circles in Mr.. Chandlers expedi-
tion, as there is little doubt, in view of the
experience gained in his previous African
travels and his splendid equipment. that he
will add important achievements in the way
of knowledge gained in hitherto unex-
plOred country.

A GIFT DIVINE.

This gift is given
This gift from heaven
Unto a few.
Through veins with human frailty filed
A glow divine is found distilled.
There's music rare
Played in the air
To such q one,
And measured by its mystic flow
His breathing and his movements 90.
As through the sky
The meteors fly,
So darts his glance,
Or it would seem as though soft hands
Had waved before his face like fans.
By man and beast
From great 70 least
He will be loved;
child will sit upon his knee,
And seek his face confldingIy,
He cannot rest
Without. the best
The world can give.
Our truest thought to him we bring;
Our sweetest song to him we sing.
And If we find,
Like all mankind
He too can sin,
We feel, although we sigh or weep,
His part divine Is but asleep.

Colonel Tom Carter is not a sport, so

run through his veins somewhere. He is In
this respect as well as in other respects in
touch with the world. Just before the Sui
livan-Corbett prize fight, Colonel Carter as
an object of public interest had dwindled to
very small proportions. He had been re-
peatedly told that he was not in it-but he
was. Apparently accepting his retired
situation he attended dinner with several
friends at the Hoffman House. The CONVEX
sation was led into politics occasionally,
but invariably got back to the great tistic
match to come of the next day at New o.
leans. Colonel Carter admitted that his
early training had not been such as to in
terest him in such matters, and that his
subsequent line of study had not made him
a judge OF bruisers and bruising. Neverthe-
less he differed with the other gentlemen
presentowho to man were Sullivan SYM
pathizers.

Tom, 'are as nseful in the physical sciences
as in anything else. Lam inclined to think
