She CANDLES, bets,

She's fond of wine,
Goes out to dine

With racing she's delighted.

She's still obscure,
Though traits like these are human.

What to do with a burglar" was
briefly the subject of very nice and
valuable little paper read the other day
before a league of matrons, who keep
house On very nearly a million dollar
scale and gather twice a month TO dis
cuss all the problems of housewifery.
The paper Oh burglars met with in

many a thrilling anecdote of daring
robbery to excite her hearers interest,
and delighted them with an account
of a new improved alarm, invented by
a woman and guaranteed to bring

But it appeared as the author read,
that among the penalties of wealth rich
American women must endure, are
dangers Of theft, not alone from the
man armed with the bulls-eye lantern

her jewels and silver that lie most
heavily on her mind.

There VIII always be widely varying opin-

there can be but one view.
He found Prussia kingdom Of the fourth

CLAIMANTS FROM AFFAIR.
Mrs. Or. Aaron BaIdwiu's Property May
Bring Up Interesting Legal Points

Mrs. DT. aaron BALDWIN Property may
Bring Up Interesting Legal Points
Dr.. Aaron Baldwin. whose wife, Lena
Shay Baldwin, died at Seattle, Wash, last
year, is still finding trouble to secure
control Of the property she left. 1t is
worth 81 900 to $50 900 and is locatedfor
the most part at Mount Pleasant.
Dr. baldwin filed in the probate court
soon after his wife's death statement that
the property she held was put in her name
when they came to this city many years
ago with the distinct understanding that she
would leave it to him by will Later she
went to Seattle to visit her brother and
sister Aurelius n. Shay and Jennie L. Shay.
While there she died, leaving a viii which
gave the property to her brother and sister.
This VIII was brought here to probate and
when offered il was found TO have only one
witness while tie District law requires three
to pass real estate. Dr. Baldwin seemed
likely to secure what he claimed as his own
without further contest.
But on Friday a paper signed by the
Seattle dcvisees was filed, in which 1t is
stated that Mrs. Baldwin had lived two
years in Seattle and was resident there.
Her will was duly made under the laws
there. and should have been filed in the
King county court. An order to that
effect had been made in that court, but
Dr.. Baldwin, knowing of it, had brought
the VIII here. 1t is further stated that
he took possession OF certain personality.
DR.. Baldwin, in his answer. denies that
he knew of the order OF the King county
court and that he received any personality
of such value as claimed. The owner
ship Of the property may depend upon the
decision Of the question OF Mrs. Baldwin's
legal residence. The laws of tho new
state OF Washington have taken quite ad-
vanced ground upon the legal status of
women, and some interesting points in the
settlement of estates in such cases are
likely to arise.
