Mrs. watson VIII Not Make Further
Contest.

Contest.

Maud Watson of Hartford, this state, i'm
the John Anderson will case out of which
Mrs. Watson derived a handsome sum, de-
MES the statement of the New York Sun
that she will now institute further proceed
ings in the case by beginning a contest for
a One-tifth interest in the Plaza Hotel
property. Judge Curtis says: at is not
true that Mary Maud Watson has COM
menced, or authorized her father to COM
mence, suit against the New York Life In
surance company. She settled her suit in
1887 in manner satisfactory to herself,
and she is at the present time perfectly
content with that settlement. She does
not need any person to bring suit for her,
because she is an adult and the mother of
a family. All stories about such litigation
are simply imaginative. | succeeded in
breaking the Anderson will in 1887 by get
ting verdict from the jury, and soon after
the case was settled. The sum that Mrs.
Watson got was satisfactory to her The
sum | received as counsel was entirely
known to her and entirely satisfactory to
me. My present social and professional
relations with Mrs. Watson are of the most
pleasant character"

where Bismarck Lives.

An hour distant from Hamburg is the
castle of FREDERICKSBURG, the residence of
the Prince and Princess Bismarck, writes
the Countess Whilhclmina in sketch of the
home life of the Bismarck, in the Ladies
Home journal. II is situated in dense
forest. burdered by a river, hedge and wall
which render it invisible alike to road and
rail passengers. Originally built for
hunting lodge 10y Count Frederick of
Lppe-Sternherg in 1868, it was converted
later into an inn raScati,' as it was
called-whther the inhabitants of Ham
burg went on holidays, and where they
held their picnicS and carnivals. In ISL,
when William |. presented the estate to
Bismarck, the house proper consisted OF a
twO-stOred yellow painted structure. 1t
has remained the main building although
considerably enlarged and altered since
that time. The effect within is bare
and plain. Walls and ceilings are white
washed, the furniture is scanty and UNI
comfortable, and ornaments are few. 4
large portrait of the Emperor William, in
the enormous dining room, and photo
graphs of various members of the Bis
marck family, and of several of the prince S
colleagues, comprise the only art specimens
that the castle contains. Its grounds are
extensive and beautiful, dense woods a
winding river and handsome shrubbery
combining to secure this effect. They
were, in former years, open to the public;
but the flowers and trees were so mutilated
by visitors in quest of ''sourenirS de Erie
drichsruhe," that it was found necessary
to close the gates The life at the castle
is one of rural simplicity; possessing but
few neighbors, its inmates rely for enter
tainment upon themselves and the guests
with whom the house is always crowded.
Extensive entertaining is also the rule at
Varzin, and at the ancestral home OF
"Schonhausen, the two other estates of
the eX-chancellor.
