SUSPECTED OF FORGERY.


SAN FRANCISCO, June 17.-James Has
kns died in August, 1894, leaving will
bequeathing all his estate to his widow,
Elizabeth Haskins. No opposition being
made. the will was duly admitted to pro-
bate last September. When the attorneys
for Charles Fair introduced second will
of James G.. Fair, dated Sept. "a. 1894, three
days later than the stolen will. they stated
that the millionaire had executed this will
in the presence of Miss Nellie Craven
and Mrs. Elizabeth Haskins. 1t is stated
that Mrs. Haskins was skilled in penman-
ship up to a remarkable degree, and IL is
now charged that Mrs. Hasxins forged the
second Fair will, and also that of her hus-
band, a contest for the Haskins estate
having been commenced by his nephew. If
the Haskins will is pronounced forgery
the executors of the Fair trust will also
charge Mrs Haskins with having forged
the second Fair will.

THE KEEL FETES.
How the American Fleet Will He
Decorated with Electric Lights.

HAMBURG, June l7.-There has been an
enormous influx of visitors here TO view
the ceremonies and spectacles incident to
the opening of the Baltic-North sea canal.
at Kiel. The American men-of-war at Kiel
will be illuminated by electricity every
night during their stay at this port. II is
intended that the cruiser New York shall
be provided with two thousand incandes-
cent lights and each of the remaining three
ships will have about 1900, besides the
usual powerful search light The incan-
descent lights will be arranged according
TO brilliant designs, each vessel carrying
around the pilot house an immense shield
representing the American coat or arms,
the red and white bars and the stars on
a blue background being reproduced by
electric bulbs This shield will be sixteen
feet high and will extend back on each
side of the pilot house, twenty-four feet.
Around the stern of each ship will be dis
played it's name in large electric letters
In addition incandescent electric lights will
be strung from each vessers stem and
stern from the water TO the deck and along
the deck rail from end to end on both
sides. The United States men-of-war will
make elaborate displays OF fireworks dur
ing the fetes.
The canal will be opened tomorrow by
Prince Hohenzollern breaking a thread
across the entrance of the canal The water
way opened by the new canal has been
navigable for small vessels for over
hundred years. In 1l14 there was COM
pleted the Elder canal, which forms
waterway between kiel bay and the Baltic
and the town of Tennin. on the North sea
It's depth only seven feet, so that its
utility TO modern navy was nothing. In
1885 the Germans undertook with enthusi-
ssm the present magnificent work with it's
depth of thirty feet and it's breadth of
over 30 feet.
The entry of the British war ships here
to-day was the signal for the continuous
booming of salutes. The harbor illumina-
tions tonight are of the most elaborate
description.

the nation whose people had these as the
foundation OF their lives.
The Cardinal confirmed this idea by re-
lating TO Leo XIII that the President Of
the United States never issued an impor-
tant proclamation to the people without in
voking the blessing of God on the Nation
which he addressed This showed how the
Nation, as whole, whatsoever religious
differences may exist between many of its
people, is one in acknowledging the exist
ence and the authority OF God. Sunday.
continued the Cardinal is observed much
better and with more devotion in the
United States than even in Italy and he
added candidates in the United States would
not all succeed In obtaining the suffrages
Of the people If they proclaimed, as they
do here, even IL IL were known, that such
candidates were atheists.
The health of the Cardinal, far as
one may judge has improved considerably
since his arrival, and he says that he is
very well. Since his arrival the American
College in the Via Dell Umelta, where
he resides, has been constantly visited by
callers on the Cardinal. The large parlor,
so we'll known TO the great majority of
American visitors to Rome-for almost all
OF them find their way to it at some time
or another-is now occupied with groups
of ecclesiastics of many nations and men,
bers of the laity. Italians, French English
and Americans.

The cause of the explosion has not vet

OF the largest presses in the city, and was
operated by the firm OF Frankenbush &
Borland- The structure covered nearly the
entire square, running from South Peters
street to New Levee street Its compress
compartment opens on Terpichore street,
and there are always a dozen or more men
around the huge compress when it is at
work. The boiler room is near the COM
press. and It was owing TO it's close prox-
unity that so many people were injured. At
the time of the explosion the boilers were
being tested by w. j. Hammond, of Kos
ciusko, Miss, representing the firm of
Kelly, Blank x Co. One of the boilers sud-
denly exploded without warning, and in an

boiler room caved In. and those mem who
escaped the hot water were buried i'm the

picked up a few minutes later was found
TO be dead. Mr.. Penrose was a prominent
citizen. He was part owner of the COM
