ECCENTRIC MISS CARTER.
Her Gifts to Wilmington, Mass,
and Her Dislike OF Dogs and

and Her Dislike of Dogs and
Tobacco.
Boston Special.
Miss Sabra Carter, the eccentric spin
ster who made queer gifts to the town
of Wilmington, Mass, died Saturday,
Oct. IA, aged seventy. About two years
ago Miss Carter gave to the town fifty
shares of stock paying about 10 per cent
interest.
She was to have the interest on the
stock while she lived, and after her
death the income of ten shares, pur-
chased of the Lombard Investment COM
pany, for which she paid 81 .030, was to
be used for the painting of the houses
in Wilmington for those who should
apply for it-One or two each year. The
conditions were that the applicants
should not have kept dog for two
years. They were also to be members
of temperance society for the same
time. and not to be addicted TO the use
of tobacco.
If these conditions were too severe,
and if there were no applications for
coats of paint gratis, the income was to
be used, one-half for ornamenting the
town common and the other to beautify
the cemetery. Miss Carter also made
several conditions regarding the dis
bursement of the income of twenty
shares of the Howard State Bank
| of Kansas. These, she said, might
be worth about $4,000. One-fourth
of the Income of these shares she set
apart for renovating the headstones in
the cemetery. An eighth was to be
used in keeping the family lot in good
order. A fourth was to be expended in
planting trees by the wayside. where
travellers might rest. At tue meeting
the town considered the gift, and fnf i
ly voted to accept 1t.

UNITED PRESS IN TROUBLE.
SUIT BROUGHT FOB THE APPOINTMENT
OF A RECEIVER.
DETn OFF NEWS COMPLAINANT

A Company With a Capital of
$1,OOO,OOO Formed From a
Company With a Capital of
Observation-Disclosures of the
Old Company Kick-No Divi-
Lends for the Past Two Y ears.
NEW YORK. Oct. 24.-Suit was brought
IN the New York supreme court against
the United Press for the appointment
of a receiver and an accounting. The
action runs against the United Press,
Charles A. Dana, William M. Laffan,
John S. Walsh, Walter P. Phillips and
hasf-doZen other directors. The COM
plainant is the Evening News associa-
ton, of Detroit, Mich. 1t is charged
that the United Press was organized
under the laws of New York in 1882,
and was reorganiZed in 1884. The COM
plainanu held five shares of founders
stock. For some years all went we'll,
but some time about 1857 the officers
formed syndicate among themselves
for the organization of a new company
under the laws of Illinois, to take the
business of gathering and collecting
news Off the hands of the original COM
pany. The original company had
CAPITAL STOCK OF $4,000.
hut the new company is capitalized for
fifty times as much, that is for s1,000,-
600. On this basis some of the stock
holders of the New York company were
permitted to exchange their shares in
that company for the new issue by the
Illinois company, receiving fifty shares
of the new stock for every share
they held of the old. This deal COM
pleted, contract was drawn up be-
tween the old company and the new,
whereby the million-dolIar corporation
undertook to take charge of the news
business and guaranteed an annual
dividend of per cent to the twenty
thousand-dollar company. 1t proved a
profitable deal for the favored stock
holders, who were accorded the privi-
alege of exchange of stock, for the new
company began forthwith to pay annual
dividends of 4 per cent, sho wing that
the same business would have yielded
200 PER CENT.
dividends to the stockholders of the old
company. The stockholders OF the New
York company who were not given a
chance to go into the Illinois company
were soon startled to find that for a
guarantee of 6 per cent they had given
away 200 per cent. For two years past
no dividends have been paid, but the
complainant in the suit instituted today
expects to establish the fact that the
stockholders of the United Press Of
New \ ork were defrauded out of a con-
siderable profit during the four or five
years when the United Press of Illinois
was making money. There are also GER
tain valuable telegraph contracts which
the complainant maintains should be
used for the benefit of the New York
company alone, and an effort will be
made to prevent what is claimed to be
the unlawful and fraudulent use of
these by the Illinois company. -

You ought to be able to do so if you

A celebrated writer says that q good
Ornithologist should be able to know
birds by their air as we'll as by their
colors and shape; on the ground as we'll
as on the wing, and in the bush as we'll
as in the hand. For though every kind
of a bird has not manner peculiar to
itself, there is certain something about
almost all of them by which you can
tell them under almost any circum-
stances.
In the country you may see kites and
buzzards. They sail around in circles,
with wings spread. but still. From this
habit of gliding they are called "gleadS"
In the north of England.
Owls move in buoyant manner, as if
lighter than the air. Ravens when on
the wing spend much time striking each
other, and often turn Oh their backs
with loud croak and seem to be falling

birds fly by jerks, rising and falling as
they advance. and most of these hop:

rise and fall as they sing. WOODLANDS

Philip d. Armour is a short-set,
broad-built, rosperous-looking man,
with a ruddy, open face and dark side
whiskers. He is severely self-made.
Six-and-forty years ago he drove a mule
team across the plains of California,
and invested with little capital he had
in the grain business in Milwaukee.
Then he bought an interest in pork

fortune is estimated at something like
S50,000,0 600. He now. perhaps, is the
most conspicuous of all Chicago's multi
millionaires, and is as modest as the
proverbial schoolboy ever was, aud is
one of the plainest and most quiet-going
of men both as TO manner and mode of
life.
Of late his health has obliged him to
restrict his diet to bread and milk. This
would be sad afflictlon to some rich
men, but Mr.. Armour has never culIl-
waited his palate to an appreciation of
