A Will That Makes No Bequests.

The will of Edward G. Knight, the
sugar refiner, has been admitted to pro-
bate by Register of Wills Shields and
is somewhat peculiar instrument.
1t makes no bequests to the heirs of the
testator, providing only for the appoint
ment of the executors of the estate. The
large property will therefore be divided
according to the intestate laws. The
exact value of the estate cannot be
known until an inventory is taken, but
it is estimated to be worth nearly &c, ,000,.
900. The widow and son of the de.
cedent, Anna M. Knight and Edward G.
Knight, Jr., are named as the executors.
No disposition is made of the beautiful
park near Collingswood, in Camden, but
the offer of the property as gift to the
city has not been withdrawn. Mr..
Knight spent considerable money in i'm.
proving the grounds, and about four
years ago threw them open as a public
park. Later he offered to give the
grounds to the city of Camden if the
city would agree to care for and main.
tain them, but the necessary legislation
for the acceptance of the gift has never
been obtained. - Philadelphia North

A Giant Human Hand.

Upon the east side Of North Seventh
street, about midway between Poplar
street and Girard avenue, stands a
strikingly curious tree, which attracts
the attention of every passerby. It
stands just in front of a stable yard, and
the employees of the place say that
dozens of people come to them every
week and make remarks or ask ques-
tions about the strange growth. From
the thickness of the trunk at the base
the tree is probably about forty years
old, but its branches and foliage are new
and fresh and look as though they were
but the growth of year or two. The
trunk runs straight from the ground tO
height of about fifteen feet.
Above this for short distance is a
thick globular mass of foliage, the leaves
appearing to grow directly out Of the
the wood. Above this growth run up
three thick stalks or stumps, six OF
eight feet high. also covered with a
dense, close mass Of foliage. When the
tree is viewed from the north side II
presents a startling resemblance to a
giant human hand protruding from the
earth. The three big stumps at the toI
represent the three middle fingers, and
upon either side of these can easily be
seen configurations Of the surrounding
foliage which correspond to the little
finger and thumb.
The explanation of the phenomenon il
a curious one. The tree was once full
grown and vigorous, but was attacked
by blight or some other disease, and tin
dead trunk was pruned down to its pres
ent proportions, whereupon the presen
new growth developed.-Philadel
Inquirer.

Two Lovers at Canonchet.

A story is going the rounds here which
causes considerable amusement. A short
time ago two lovers, who had come out
for a walk in the moonlight, strayed
into Mrs. Sprague's grounds, and their
sweet dream was rudely broken in upon
by the baying Of the hounds, who gave
chase to the intruders. The young lady
stood not upon the order of her going,
but went at the top of her speed, while
her less nimble lover climbed to the top
of haystack, where he remained till 8
o'clock, when he was rescued by Mrs.
Sprague. e.-Canonchet Cor. Baltimore

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The remark
able record of the Fifty-second con-
gress, wherein no bill appropriating
money for the erection of a public
building was able TO run the gauntlet of
economists. is not likely to be repeated
this session. Owing to the ne cessity
for two or three buildings in Washing.
ton for the purposes of the general gov
eminent the committee on public build
ings was delayed in reaching the con.
sideration of proposals for buildings of
merely local Importance. Since it has
been at work upon the minor bills, OF
which there are many, the committee
has made fair record of approvals.
and now has reported to the house in
favor Of the erection of fourteen post
offices and revenue buildings, ranging
in cost from $50, 900 to 500. 600. There
have been introduced this session and
referred to the committee bills for
about $50 public buildings. or for i'm
provements to standing structures. But
small proportion of them have been
confirmed by the com mitiee as yet, and
it is not probable that Chair
man Bankhead will give this
congress an opportunity to equal
the record Of the Fifty-first in which
nearly 100 new government buildings
were started. Or the larger projects
which the committee has acted upon.
the most important is its vote to erect a
new printing Office to succeed the pres
ent dangerous and inadequate. which

gins purchased house and lotand gave

Higgins was about to 90 to work when
Dowd arrived. Mrs. Dowd Higgin s
recognized her first husband at once,
and fell In faint. When she revived,
Dewd told Higgins who he was. The
second husband did not believe the
story until his wife confirmed it.
Both husbands talked the matter over,
which ended in Dowd telling Higgins
that II he had anything around the
house that belonged to him personally
he had better take it and get out. 70
