MRS, CUMMINGS WINS.
The Referee Reports in Favor Of Asa
Packers Daughter in Her Suit.

William Wynne Wister, referee in
the suit of Charles II. Cummings and
Mary Packer Cummings, his wife,
against Elisha p. Wilbur and Charles
Hartshorne, filed his report in
Philadelphia Court yesterday. Mrs.
Cummings was daughter OF Asa
Packer and when she was about to be
Joined in wedlock with Mr.. Cummings
a marriage settlement was made by
which the defendants were made trus-
tees of all her estate and of the
income she might derive from the
estate of her father of which $2oo 600
per annum were to be paid to her.
The question involved in the case
was whether under provision in the
deed of trust if she should not draw
or receive the $4,000 per annum
the deficiency should be regarded as
accumulation of income which she
would thereafter be entitled to re-
ceive, or whether it should be regard
ed as principal Of the estate. Mrs.
Cummings claimed payment under
these circumstances of the accumu-
lated income. This was resisted and
a set-off was claimed of $I53,oa7.So,
debt due the Asa Packer estate by
Mrs. Cummings before the deed of
trust was executed.
The referee decides that this claim
should be charged against the principal
of the estate and not against the
income and that the defendant should
pay out of the accumulated income in
their hands enough TO make Mrs.
Cummings income for 1894 amount
to 100000.

EAST BENTON.

A we'll known person whose name
we are not at liberty to divulge, re-
lates the following interesting exper-
ience with optical deceptions, as re-
fected from large glass plate mirror:
"Moyer Bros. drug store at Blooms
burg" said he, sis large and spacious
room, with counters on either side ; a
large mirror forms a partition in the
middle of the centre aisle, with a gal
vanized or brass washed bar stretched
across the aisle, foot or eighteen
inches from and in front Of the mirror,
and at the same height of the counters,
gives the centre aisle an appearance
of length the entire depth of the build
ing, with no other obstruction to check
a customer from walking the ertire
length of the aisle, except the galvan'
lied bar which is stretched across the
room, of which there appears to be
two-two or three feet apart.
Our informant said, ION entering
the drug store, l walked up the aisle,
and at the same time observed per-
son approaching me from from the
other end of the aisle, whom l sup
posed wished to wait on me. Paying
little attention to him, l walked up
and grabbed with both hands the bar,
and to my astonishment the person
walking down the aisle, in like manner
grabbed with both hands, the bar op-
poste, when l bowed and said, howdy
do, sir. OF course the gentleman
opposite bowed very graciously, but
did not respond to the 'howdy do sir,
when closer inspection revealed the
fact that l was sold. | though it
strange that the gentleman was so
near my size and age, and otherwise
resembled my appearance in form and
dress. l venture the assertion" said
he, "that l am not the only person
that has been fooled by that mirror.
l tell you," said he, II got out of
Bloomsburg as quickly as possible
with a batch of 'Chamberlain's Cough
Syrup and bottle of Mrs. Winslow's
soothing syrup to alleviate my chag-

ABOUT QUEEN VICTORIA.

Three Stories That Arc Interesting Con-

For many year after her husband S
death Queen Victoria would never con-
sent 70 be photographed, save in very
lugubrious trim and with the prince
consort's bust or portrait well in sight.
Much livelier now that she is much old
er, her majesty to-day sits for artists in
grand array as well as everyday clothes,
and some Of her favorite Jewels and
laces have thus become well known to
the public. The severely criticised or

and chest on the jubilee coinage may
be recognized as studies from actual
Sir Edgar Boehm had hard time of il
with outsiders when those coins were
first issued, but he was amply compen.
stated by eulogiums falling from royal
and imperial lips upon the charming
way he had rendered that favorite neck
lace, brooch and earrings.
The queens money from the state is
all paid up in advance to the 31st OF
March next, and so are all the annui
ties that are granted to the prince OF
Wales and the other members of the
royal family, and Coutts', the bankers
are the only persons who know how the
royal accounts stand. The thirty-siz
thousand pounds year allowed for the
children of the prince of Wales remains
at the same amount as it was before the
death of the duke of Clarence, and this
money will continue to be paid till six
months after her majesty's demise.
On each anniversary-or the annua'
celebration of the queens wedding
the beautiful painting of the marriage
of her majesty is brought into the roya.

silk rosettes. In this painting the
