LAW EATS UP AN ESTATE.
Money Left Henry George Swallowed
Up in Fight Over the Will.

Camden, N. J., Feb. 13.-The case of
Henry George against John T. Woodruff,
in the Camden civil courts, was settled
to-day, when Lawyer Woodruff paid over
about 800 in his possession.
Henry George, the plaintiff, is the we'll
known single tax advocate and the au-
thor of the book Progress and Poverty"
Some years ago George Bowers, an &C.
centric old resident of Ancora, Camden
county, died, leaving about $4,000 or
S2O, 900, the greater part of which he
willed to Mr. George for the dissemina-
tion of his books.
RELATIVES MAKE A FIGHT.
The western relatives of the deceased
objected to the money going for such
purpose and went into the court of chan
Gerry to prevent the bequest, claiming that
as the book to be thus observation-disclosures
at exchange law, the money could not be
devoted to that purpose. Vice-Chancel-
lor Bird decided in favor of the opponents
of Henry George, but the latter carried
the case to the court of last resort, where
the decision was reversed.
SWALLOWED UP BY THE LAW.
In the meantime the original fortune of
$40, 600 was reduced by court and counsel
fees to less than half that amount. Then
other tedious litigations arose, which
further shrunk the sum to few hundred,
until it finally reached the Camden circuit
court with but 5000 left.
The widow of the man who left Mr..
George the money not being able to OBJ
tain even her own dover was obliged to
go to the county alms-house, where she
died of a broken heart some months ago
During the progress of the litigation, Mr.
George offered to let the widow have a
generous amount of the legacy, but the
other heirs were unwilling to agree to
such charitable use of any portion of
the moneV

FREE STAINED GLASS.
Catholic Prelates to Have the Tariff
Bill Amended.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The most dis
tinguished Catholic prelates Of the coun-
try, including Cordinal Gibbons and
Archbishop Carrigan, Of New York, are
endeavoriDg to secure a change in the
phraseology Of section CSC OF the tariff bill
relating to free art. Under this provision
of the bill, pictorial painting on glass,
"lmported expressly for presentation"
TO national institutions, religious aud
other societies, is admitted free.
What the memorialists desire is that
this qualification should be stricken from
the paragraph so that glass OF the fore
going character may not.be dutiable under
any circumstances. 1t is expected that
the Senate finance committee will recast
the paragraph and place stained glass in
section 603, which admits free regalia and
statuary where imported in good faith
for the use of any educational, literary or
religious society,"

Mixed Feeds.

Roots come in as a fixed ingredient of
mixed feeds. The experiments at
Rothamstead, England, have proved
that there are two cardinal principles in
feeding mixed feeds. One is that mixed
feeds are by far superior to plain food
for sheep, and the other principle is that
all of the elements of the mixture must
be fed every day in about the same pro-
portion and not once a week or once in
two or three days. The first principle
is easily illustrated. While eight pounds
of peas or six pounds of oilcake meal
will make pound of live weight, the
same amount of gain will be obtained
from Az pounds when the two are
mixed together.
The mixture increased by cut roots
would even be improved, and better re-
suits are obtained from wheat straw
and turnips mixed together than from
good timothy hay, although the latter
would be more expensive. By judicious-
ly studying such mixtures money is ac-
tually saved to the farmer, and the in
crease in the weight of the sheep keeps
up steadily. The necessity of feeding
all of the elements in the mixture every
day is apparent. The system becomes
accustomed to them and expects the
different elements each twenty-four
hours.-American Cultivator.

The tragic ending of the career of the
Dalton gang shows anew that crime does
not pay. They were all three young
the eldest only thirty-strong, bright,
capable men. The world had never used
them i'll, consequently they could have
had no grudge ageinst it. They might,
with their opportunities, have become
wealthy and respected men-leaders in
their community. But one thing pre-
vented all this, and that was the devil
try born in them. Pure cussedness, and
nothing else, drove them to rob and
murder. 1t is the only way of ac-
counting for them. Coffeyville, Kan,
is to be congratulated on putting them
out of the way. The three brave men
who gave up their lives to rid the earth
of these monsters will be remembered
and honored as martyrs to the cause Of
public safety and order.

"Is the tar all righty" demanded q
sepulchral voice that issued from slit
In q white handkerchif. The handker-
chief yelled mans head and face.
"It is" was the answer, no less sepul-
chral, from slit in another white hand
kerchief.
"Be the feathers thereY'
"They be-"
"Then let us proceed to business"
In fifteen minutes a man from the
godly town of Stamford, Conn.,, was
transformed from a white man into a
monster feathered biped. His crime was
that he had been calling too frequently
on pretty widow at Long Ridge when
he had wife and two daughters at
home in Stamford. 1t was the neighbors
who found it out. When the strange
man brought the pretty widow home to
Long Ridge from visit to Stamford,
the Long Ridge neighbors Immediately
began to take the usual kindly interest
in their affairs. Believing ever that
knowledge is power, they set on foot in
quiries which resulted in the triumphant
discovery that Wars Albin's married
man." Oh, how much we owe to the
neighbors for keeping us in the right
track! What monsters of wickedness
would crop up in every village only for
fear of the eagle eye of the neighbors!
Tho ,rnnI ly,nl nhhorc cot 1,Ayo on
the watch then to observe the "kerryins
ON" of the pretty widow. More than
once the man accompanied her home
from Stamford. The boys kept faithful
watch and ward. With a thrill of
triumph at length it was reported that
the couple had taken walks in the woods,
and the towheaded boy behind log had
seen the man kiss the widow, likewise
pass his arm around her waist. That
was enough. One evening as the two
sat in the front room" of the widows
mothers home rap came at the door,
and outraged virtue, in the form OF fif-
teen men with handkerchiefs tied over
their faces, pulled the man outdoors and
changed him from human TO feathered
biped in the forceful manner mentioned.
After the operation was over he walked
back home to his wife, and she sat up
all the rest of the night helping him
scrape the tar off. Furthermore she
propounded this problem in ethics to a
reporter who sought to interview her,
