Will.
The Courts Called Upon to
Straighten Out the En-

December.
An Echo Of the South st. Pau
Locomotive Boiler Ex-
ploSion.

The executors of the will of the late
Henry Hale have begun an action
against the city of st. Paul and other
devisees and legatees of the late Henry
Hale i'll which the court is asked to CON
Strue the will for the information Of
Mary f. Hale, William B. Hale, Mat
thew Hale and Charles E. Clark, the
executors, as they have found that a
difference of opinion exists as to the dis
position of the income of the estate. and
the power of sale given by item 21 of the
will. 1t is stated that the estate APP
praised S1,205, 900, of which the real
estate is appraised at ST. %, $50 and the
personal property, aside from the house
hold effects and wearing apparel be-
queathed to the widow, is less
than $4,000. The debts of the estate
amount TO S225. 900. The income of the
estate, after paying taxes and interest
on mortgages for the past year, has
been $50, S77.58. Doubt has arisen as to
the proper disposition of the net in
come, as to whether the debts and be-
quests should be paid from the pTinci
pal or the income. The city of st. Paul
claims that the income should be used
to pay debts and legacieS, while the
legateeS in items Is aud 10 Of the will,
who are several in number, claim that
the net income should be paid to them,
and that the debts and other legacies
should be paid out of the principal of
the personal estate as far as it will go,
and the remainder should be paid by
sale or mortgage of the real estate.
The legatees in items IS and 10 are given
the income OF the estate during life.
Doubts have also arisen as to the lowers
given the executors of the will by item
p thereof, which relates to the sale
of personal and real property and the
payment of debts and legacieS before
''any further deficiency" will arise, as
provided by item 81 of the will. The
court is asked to instruct the executors
in these particulars.
The will creates trust by which the
executors are to dispose of the income
of the estate for twenty-five years in
paying the proceeds to certain legateeS.
At the expiration of that trust half of his
estate is left to the city of st. Paul,
i'll trust to form a free medical dis
pensary for the benefit of the poor and
free library. The half of his estate is
to be divided equally between these two
proposed institutions. This fund is
then to be placed in the hands OF the
mayor, comptroller, probate judge. city
attorney, and oldest member in contill-
uous service of the board of county
commissioners. as trustees for the city.

Housekeeping G Q o q s
come to the front, and the
LINEN ROOM

Is a busy place these days.
Why not?
It's the one month in the
whole year when some lines
of goods are, as we say,
slaughtered. Why Towel
or Napkin or Tablecloth
should be sold today at a
less price than yesterday is
not exactly the question.
How to convert what in the
nature Of things would be a
dull season into one of activ-
ity is about the way we look
at it. To this end many a hot
day in August is spent cut
ting out work for January
sales. We aim to have no
dull seasons.
We have good men and
women. They work for our
interests. They know they
will not be laid off for a dull
season, Winter or Summer.
Better force a trade for
one month, if there ism t
much profit in it. There may
be some glory, and that's al
most as satisfactory to some
people. Perhaps the profit
will come later.

Ginning Cotton by Electricity.

For the first time in the history of the world cotton has just been ginned by electricity at the Agricultural and Me- chanical College of Alabama, at Auburn thus furnishing an entirely new applica- tion of this marvellous form of power For the purpose of illustrating the transmission of power by electricity the class in electrical engineering, under the direction of their professor, A. F. McKissick, connected the generator at inc dynamo room of the college with the motor at the Statum farm by a wire 5000 feet in length, the distance between the college and the farm. By running the dynamo at the college the motor al the farm did the work of the ten horse power engine formerly used. It ground oats and corn for COW feed and ginned cotton. doing the work in simple, ehec- five manner. with a small percentage oi loss.
 This application of electricity not ohiy affords q convenient source ot power but also gives increased exemption from danger Of fire from the use of an engine It is designed that hereafter all work os this character required at the farm shall be doue by eleUtricity,-~cor st' Louis Glnhe,penocrat

Eccentric Hrnihers.

The finding of the body of Daniel Boyer near Reading has brought to light the story of this aged hermit, says an Allentown (Pa.) paper. Boyer was sev- enty-seven years old and for forty-eight years had lived alone in a little stone hut eight feet wide and ten feet long, surrounded by swamp. His sole com panion was dog. He did his own cook ing The principal part of his food con sisted of wild game that he shot in the woods. For half century his only oc- cupation was the making of ax handles, which he carried to town on his back and sold. He rarely wore shoes, even in the coldest weather, and when his body was found in the path leading to the spring from which he got water his feet were entirely naked. He slept on a plank bed. His death was caused by heart disease. A brother of the dead man was also exceedingly eccentric. Neither of them married. The brother always climbed into q tree every day and sat there for hours and played hls violin and sang songs.
