One Of the famous legal complications
which Boston has witnessed managed to
Involve in its intricacies quite u number Of
notable men, For many years one Of the
law Offices in the old Joy building was oc-
cupied by a veteran lawyer known as
Jerry Brown. Quite late in life this old
gentleman was married to one of his
clients, who not long after died. When
her will was opened it was found TO have
been made shortly before her marriage
BY it she bequeathed practically all her
property to her Intended husband, giving
small requests To her relatives and 10 pub
lie charities and also remembering her
husbands nephew, j. @. A. Brackett,
whom She ngmed, with him, as executor.
The viii wastyitnessed by Albert +. Pills
bury.
The hcirs-at-law Immediately set up an
attempt to break the will, on the ground
Of undue influence. The documents they
filed stated that among the property was a
house on the Back bay and large amount
OF land in Kansas They retained as coun-
sci John ID. Long and Stllman b. Allen.
The executors retained Charles r. Train
aud j. o. Tecle The win was allowed In
the probate court and an appeal taken 70
the supreme court. There the will was set
aside. Then the executors appealed 20 the
full bench ON exceptions, but before the
case reached trial il was settled.
The reason IL was settled was this: BY
the laws Of Kansas, when there is no will
the property Of n wife all goes to her hus-
band. The heirs were therefore fighting
to break a will which, if broken, would
have left them nothing for their pains,
while the legatee under the will was fight
ing to preserve it intact, when he was sure
to get more by having the will broken.
The consequence was that he settled with
the natural heirs on his own terms.
Uncle Jerry lived number of years
to relate with satisfaction the story of his
triumph. There was no such contest over
his will, for he made none, the ex-governor
being his only heir and the administrator
of his estate.-Boston Traveller.

AL orange Mlthin an oranee.

A correspondent from Mahanoy City
Pa, sends an orange from the topof which
another small orange is growing and asks
for an explanation.
1t is not easy to explain this unless one
understands something of the science OF
vegetable morphology. With a little
knowledge Of this the explanation is very
simple. In a brief way it may be said that
nature makes one part of a plant out Of
what might have been some other part,
and so on down to leaf blade. The orange
fruit is made up out Of transformed leaves,
or what might have been leaves or flowers.
Now IL we can imagine ten flowers around
a stem, and the stem prevented from
elongsting so as to form another set Of ten
flowers, and then further imagine the ten
flowers changed in character 50 as to unite
together, become pulpy and seem like one
homogeneous mass, the result would be
very much like what occurs in the forma-
tion Of an orange
Now imagine further that the stem in
stead of being wholly suppressed tries TO
90 forward and make another weak set Of
flowers, but is promptly arrested and
forced to form another small fruit instead,
again we get at nearly what really occurs
We may say that an orange is a suppressed
and changed branch-the orange within
the orange is the growth Of u not wholly
suppressed branch.
This viii not be very clear to many, but
it is the best that can be done in brief
way.
The navel orange is to be explained in
the same way Meehan's Monthly.

A few days ago / found myself in n cab
riding along an avenue Of this city, which
shall be unnamed. l had been for some
time trying to realize that it was Chicago.
II was much more like the lowest and most
uncivilized portion Of foreign city. Shops
and homes were all mixed together, and
there were just as many families taking
comfort on the sidewalks and pavementg
as there were in the rooms over the stores.
The faces, costumes, names and signs were
all foreign, and there was not even a Chi
cago bluecoat in sight
Suddenly a man jumped out from some
where, fired "A revolver at n man on an ~
press wagon and ran into an alley. The
expressman stopped his horse, clambered
over the wheel, drew revolver from his
hip pocket. started down the alley after the
man and commenced a fusilade Of shots
In en- instant a crowd Of men, women and
children blocked the street and alley. Ny
cabman stopped his horse and said:
81 really behave there thryin to hit
somebody. Do We think we bether go on,
mum, or wait a bity"
With all respect 20 cabby's curiosity,
thought we better go on. As we drove
away we could hear the firing of the re
volvers and see people running from all di-
rections, but not policeman came within
our vision, nor have l seen a mention of
the circumstance in any of the newspa-
pers. Was it n common, everyday occur
renee over there and not reckoned as news,
or were the two men just playing tag?-

What then happened was told by the

Refinement looks ever with disapproval
upon needless waste and needless cxtrava-
gance. She carefully counts the cost and
makes the most of all material brought to
her hand. Consideration for others has
made her watchful, and nothing in her
charge is squandered or wantonly con
sumed.
To vulgar ostentation she firmly refuses
the radiant light of her countenance, but
seeks instead the quiet hooks, the retired
haunts where dwell those who know her
true worth. The spirit of refinement lives
even with those whose tastes are simple
and pure; who make no pretenses; whose
faith in humanity is strong and real. To
those endowed with kindly tact and genial
wit, who employ all means Of good within
their command, whose hearts are touched
by the grief and misery around them and
who are quick to see and respond 10 others

fused TO open the door An hour passed
and It dawned upon Gawthrop's mind
that his wife was in earnest. It Is said
that he spent the remainder Of the night
looking at the city
The next morning they continued their
wedding journey, and that night the
wife again refused TO be in the same
room with her husband Then they
came home and their friends were
amazed
AS Gawthrop had built a house es-
pecially for his future wife he was
naturally much chagrned at the turn of
affairs. He pleaded IN vain with the girl,
She would not live with him and would
not leave her home Il was said that she
would scarcely see her husband when he
went 90 her fathers home.
Then Gawthrop applied for divorce

Things were going as rapidly as they do

seemed 10 be an utter ostrangement

Recently Gawthrop withdrew the suit

clipped an entire second from the record
made by Sunol at Stockton, Cal, last year,
and ~ seconds from Maud SIS previous
record Of 2;0Ssi. When Sunol reduced the
record of Maud S half second on the kite
shaped track at Stockton, many horsemen
declared that the time was really no bet
ter than that Of Maud, for the reason that
the kite shaped track, with its two turns,
was at least half a second faster than the
circular course, with its four turns, over
which Maud made her world famous mile.
This argument cannot be used TO dctract
from the merit of Nancy Hanks perform
ance, for the gallant little mare followed
the example Of Maud 5 in making a new
record on the old style course. Had she
equalcd Sunol's 2;0Sl4 her performance
would have been considered remarkable;
had she lowered the kite track record by
one-quarter of a second horsemen would
have been amazed, but when she made a
regulation track mile without a skip in
2:07il J. = seconds below Maud SIS honored
mark, they were thunderstruck. Nancy
drew pneumatic tired sulky, and this
racing vehicle, like the kite track is I'M
doubleday potent factor in record break
ing Robert Bonner, the famous horseman
who owns both Maud 5 and Suuol, and
Trainer Charles Marvin, who drove Sunol
in her record breaking performance last
year, both declare that the new sulky is
two or three seconds faster than the one
heretofore in use.

HANKS, 9:O7H.

This estimate is probably somewhat ex-
aggerated, but admitting that the pneu-
matte sulky is a second faster Nancy
Hanks feat still stamps her as a modern
trotting marvel. Mr.. Bonner does not
think that Nancy Hanks is any faster than
Sunol, and he is reported to have declared
that "the new sulky did it," This is per
haps not n wholly unprecedented opinion,
and the comparative merits Of Electioneer's
famous daughter and Nancy Hanks must
remain unknown until the two great trot-
ters meet in race-an event not at all
likely to Occur-or until Sunol, equipped
with pneumatic sulky, goes at the mile
record on a circular course. In a few
weeks Sunol will probably make an effort
10 regain her crown as queen. Nancy was
trained for her great feat by Budd Doble
She weighed SO pounds and pulled Doble,
who weighed $50 pounds, and the 62lS-
pound pneumatic sulky. The sulky Maud
S used in 1855, when she made her record
OF 2:0ssl, weighed only - pounds, but the
pneumatic tire was unknown then.
Nancy Hanks is q brown mare G years
old. She was bred near Lexington, Ky,
by farmer named H. Boswell. Her sire
was the famous Happy Medium, by Rys-
dyk's Hambletonian. and her dam was a
well bred mare named Nancy Lee, by Die
tator, full brother Of Dexter, 2l7H, at
one time king Of all trotters. Nancy Hanks
was first heard Of in 1889, when as a 3-year-
old she defeated good field and closed the
season with a record Of 2:24j(. In 1891 she
defeated Margaret S, Allerton, the ex.
stallion king and Belle Hamlin, and re-.
tired with mark Of 300 Many horsemen
believed that 1892 would see her reigning
rs queen, an opinion that was well founded.
She is now tho property Of J. Malcolm
Forbes, of Boston, who is reported to have
paid between 5000 and $4,000 for the
Blue Grass wonder.
