cry make it a comparatively easy matter
for first class mechanic.

The New York Tribune publishes the
following Chautauqua notes which will
be of interest to many persons in this
county.
Mrs. Emma P. Ewing came to Chau-
tauqua from giving daily lectures on
breadmaking at Chicago under the
auspices of the Columbian Association
in the model kitchen of the Women
Building at the Fair. Mrs. Ewing's
work at Chautauqua last year was con-
fined to practical class lessons and the
training of teachers in household
science. Her return to the public plat
form marks the beginning of series of
lectures which are eagerly awaited.
The copioas notes generally taken at
tested the interest of the audience Mrs.
Ewing has an amusing contempt for
bad cooking, and her instruction is en-
livened with witty hits at prevalent
housekeeping practices.
The Orphans Court for Cecil
County has been this week engaged
hearing testimony in the contested will
case OF the late George Carter, the will
being contested on the ground of the
mental condition of Mr.. Carter at the
time he executed his will. The case
is attracting considerable attention in
the upper section of the county, where
a number of those interested reside. Mr..
Carter, who was bachelor, died at the
home of his sister, Mrs. Amanda G..
Reynolds, wife of ex-Sheriff Barclay
Reynolds, near Rising Sun, in May
last. Mr.. Garter had spent the winter
with Layman ckburn, his brother
in-law, who lives IN Lancaster county,
and had been at his sisters only three
weeks when he died. While at Mr..
Blackburn's he executed a will ON
March Is. 1898, which was drawn by
James Wood and witnessed by him and
Layman Blackburn.
In this will Mr.. Carter, bequeathed
$4,000 to his sister, Mrs. Barclay Rey-
nolds; $4,000 to an unmarried sister,
Ruth Ann Carter; $500 to another sister,
Hannah Halingsworth; 81 900 to a
niece, Sophia G, Reynolds; 81 900 to an
other niece, Carrie Blackburn, and 81.
500 to Miss Townsend.
Mr.. Blackburn testified that he did
not think Mr.. Carter was in condition
of mind to make will at the time he
executed this one. The will remaining
unprotected, Mr.. Wood petitioned the
court to order it done. Mr.. Crothers,
who represents Samuel Carter, "a brother
of the decedant, who was not provided
for in the will, and who resides at
Christiana, Pa, opposed the petition
and the court fixed Tuesday as the
time upon which to hear testimony.
There is large number of witnesses.
