A Curious WIN Contest.

A curious will contest, according to
Paris papers, is about to be tried in the
Seine courts. Five years ago Russian
princess died, leaving large fortune.
There was great surprise among her rel
atives when the testament was opened.
BY one Of its clauses she left 5000, 900
francs to the person who would remain
year in the chapel to be erected above
her grave in the Pere la Chaise. The
body Of tho princess, according to the
legendary report, lies In crystal coffin
in wonderful state Of preservation. No
one Of her relatives has been able to re-
main longer than two or three days In
the chapel. What viii become of the
5000, 900 francs is the question.

THEY CON VEEE.


4 49, @tkNA4tI &1N0M0AMf
The Marion county white teachers
association met Saturday morning in
the Ocala Graded school building.
About twenty-five persons were pres
ent. President Turner, Of the Antho-
ny school, presided, ard Miss Alfred,
Of the Ocala Graded school, acted as
ecretary.
The president read an address full OF
good suggestions and timely advice,
on the relations the teacher bears to
his profession, who was followed BY
Mr.. earn, of the Glennwood school, on
the OBJECTS and aims of the associa-
ton. He treated Of the necessity Of
uniformity Of text books in all the
counties In the state. That the teach,
ers should have a voice in determining
what those books should be. In this
connection the state should have d
competent committee, whoshould con,
firm the series; that these schools
books should not be changed oftenel
OAttiA OuCC III ten years.
He related how every grammar diff.
fered in naming and classifying Ger,
tain parts of speech, which was very
confusing to pupils. He favored q
grammar that would be uniform and
coextensive with the United States
He also favored school books, especi
ally histories written by southern
authors, and instanced the rank injus
tice done by the Misrepresentation OF
perversion of facts, regarding slavery
and incidents of the civic war. He
advocated the grading of studies in all
schools, and the retention of teachers
for the same schools for longer terms
nor did he forget the presen school
law, noting its defects, ETC., etc.
Mr.. earns paper provoked many
comments, in which Profs. Earle
Bonner, Washburn and others, joined
in, the main sustaining the views ex.
pressed by Mr.. earn.
A committee was appointed, con-
sisting of Profs. Earle, Turner, and
Miss Alfred, to thoroughly study the
present school law and note all defects
and recommend their corrections,
which, OH adoption at a subsequent
meeting, would go before the state
teachers association at Orlando on
December 3Ist.
Mr.. w. B. Moon and Mr.. Anthony
Smith, being absent, Miss NJ. Jeanette
Alfred, the accomplished secretary,
was called on to read paper on "Ver.
tical vs.. Sloping Writing" In mCst
interesting and instructive facts she
traced the history of this system COM
pared it witt the spencerian style, the
one taught by her in the Ocala school
and showed its superiority.
The question of teachers certificates
was also fully discussed. The session
was most interesting one, and after
some further routine work the meet
ing adjourned to meet at Fellowship
in December.

IT LOOKS LIKE A SCHEME.
The N1ldwinter Fair to BE Used to Circum
vent the Chinese Exclusion Acts.

The Afldwinter Fair to BE Used to Circum-
vent the Chinese Exclusion Acts.
The Chinese village that is to be con-
structed and maintained at the Midwin-
ter fair may prove of interest to visitors
from abroad. but the Chinese who are
back of the enterprise did not originate
it for that purpose, but in order to get
another opportunity to aad several hum
dred coolies to the present population Of
this country.
The Chinese believe that the resolu-
ton passed by congress granting to the
Midwinter fair the same privileges that
had been granted to the Columbian ex-
position-namely, the entry of foreign
goods free and permitting to enter the
country the laborers, artists and others
of foreign nations connected with the
exhibits of those nations-will offer them
an opportunity to land some more Of
their countrymen.
They have placed the matter in the
hands of their attorneys, and from the
expressions of certain prominent Chi
nese it appears that they have received
advice that comedies with their wishes
in the matter.
Like all the schemes that the Six Com
panies go into, it viii be making
money, and the plan they will pursue III
this instance became public at the GUS
tom house yesterday.
Already the scheme has been put in
operation, and negotiations have been
opened with coolies in China who desire
ito become residents of the United States.
Little Pete, on behalf of the Six Com
panies and other Chinese interested, is in
charge of the affair and will see that it
is made q financial success.
Little Pete is the go between in all
cases where money is used for the illegal
landing of Chinese, and he is considered
one of the shrewdest s'fixers" doing bust
ness at the custom house. He has been
given instructions to arrange for the i'm
portation of another gang of supposed
actors, and for several weeks he has
been in correspondence with those who
are to assist him in China.
Letters haye been forwarded to China
announcing that all who desire to come
to the United States and avoid the trou-
BILE that the exclusion acts present can
do SO by becoming members of the Chi
nese village that is to be imported for
the Midwinter fair.
Under the resolution passed by con-
gress, if it will apply in this case, the
number that will be permitted to land in
order to participate in the fair is not
limited, and how many will be desig-
mated by Little Pete and his associates
has not been made known. 1t is expect
ed, however, that fully 800 will avail
themselves Of the excellent opportunity
that viii be presented, and for that priv
ilege each one must pay $500. San Fran.
