To the right OF this staircase is a slab
OF highly polished marble supported by
carved sides, forming bcnchlike table
fashioned after the famous table in the
house of Rufus OF Pompeii. On it are
curious old Roman silver salvers and n
golden urn of Florentine workmanship.
High back arm chairs OF gilt. with uphol-
STEERING OF peach colored satin and ruby
velvet, relieve what might be the
som breness of the tapestry hung walls.
Just off this hallway is the red drawing
room where MilleJ's wonderful canvas
The Sower' hangs in full view and
almost forms part of the decoration of
this magnificent hail.
Austin Corbin owns the old James G..
Bennett house on the corner of Fifth ave-

it. The hallway, with its fittings of rose
wood, has been chan sed into a marvel of
rose color white and gold The winding
staircase of white marble is carpcted in
rose colored velvet, and heavy cord OF
the same material is looped with gilt
chains to the sides of the wainscoated
walls The newell column is entwined
with wreaths of Id, and holds on its
capital an exquisite vase vase OF delicate
rose -colored pottery.
The walls, with their iuted .wainscoat-
ing of white enamel and bead molding of
gold are broken az three places by high
arched doorways, one opening into the
beautiful drawing room, another into
the dainty reception room, while the
third, at the end of the hall, leads into
the dining room, beyond which is seen
vista of green waving palms and delicate
orchids in the little conservatory.
These doorways have hangings of heavy
mulberry plush, which fall in rich folds
and are looped back by thick coris. Over
them are lambrequins of the same stuff
overlaid with Florentine applique work OF
pearl satin, couched with siken cords
caught down with threads of silver.

Eggs Are the Fad

says the New York World. It has become
common sight at leading ladies' restau-
rants in the shopping districts to see
whole regiments of women file past the
man at the counter busy breaking eggs in
wine glasses. The beverage is then
tossed down in single swallow. The
eggs are mostly taken Straight" but
sometimes they are seasoned with salt and
pepper, which gives them just about the
taste of nice fat oyster.
This new fad has at least the merit OF
being sensible. Raw eggs are well known
to be nourishing and healthful. AS a
tonic they are unequalled, and undoubt-
edly it is for this reason that they have
won the appreciation of the shopping
woman.

winds through the center of the house,

trade to the roof is draped with costly
tapestries or old Medici hangings of
Florcntine applique on dark red velvet,
completely concealing all of the wood

ot the hallway to the magnificent stained
glass window at the roof, this wonderful

THE POULTNEY MILLIONS.
A CORPORATION TO BE FORMED
TO CARRY ON THE LITI-
CATION.
PROMINENT ATTORNEYS OF This
CITY AND New YORK HAVE
THE CASE.

A thoroughly organized effort is to be
made to secure the Sir William Poultney
millions.
Instead of being 100000 as first esti.
mated, the estate is considered to be worth
in coin and land at least $50, 000,0 900. A
portion of the estate is in England and
several millions in land are located in New
York, Vermont and Virginia.
Josiah Poultney, the direct though not
the sole surviving heir, as at first stated by
his friends, has given his case into the
charge OF w. A. Richardson, prominent
attorney OF this City. Mr.. Richardson
will conduct the case in connection with
the well-known and prominent firm of
Hummell & Howe of New York and
George E. Duncan, 1875 Broadway, of the
same city.
Ex-Attorney-Gene Hart had charge Of
the case for some time, but the Blythe
estate prevented his giving it the attention
it deserved. The matter has now been
taken up with renewed vigor, and a corpo-
ration, it is said, will be formed with an
abundance OF capital to carry on the neces-
sary litigation. Some OF those interested
in the estate in New York have claimed
that it aggregated S75, 100000.
Josiah Poultney, who is bringing the
suit, is the grandson of William Poultney,
Earl of Bath (obit July Z, 1904, to whose
memory monument was erected in
Westminster Abbey by his brother, the
Hon. Harry Poultney, general of his Ma
iesty's forces, 1867. During his lifetime Sir
William Poultney owned large estates in
Middlesex, England, and also acquired a
large tract of land in Virginia. He also
owned a township in Vermont, the central
settlement of which was named after him
-Poultney Town. In Rochester, N. Y,
he bought 160 acres of land for 10 cents an
acre. Rochester is at present one of the
most prosperous and wealthy cities in the
cents an acre has long since been multi
piled to the millions.
The estates in Scotland are not estimated
by the heir al law in his statement. The
100000 acres in Steuben and Genessee
counties, New York State, were acquired
at the rate OF 10 cents al acre.
Henrietta Laura Johnston, widow of Sir
William Poultney, died interstate about
1905 or 1906, leaving only Rebecca Ward
her survivor. The latter died in 1909 leav-
ing no decedents. Prior to her death it is
asserted she went to the West Indies with
Sir Charles Williamson to claim some
property which Sir William Poultney was
possessed of there. She, it is claimed, died
OF poisoning at the instance of William
son.
And so goes the story. There are any,
where's between thirty and seventy-fiVe
millions of property and coin waiting for
some claimant in this country and Eng
land and Josiah Poultney says he is the
man. Others think as he does and will
back their opinions with money incident
to the formation OF q corporation to carry
on the litigation.

Clinton, being Democrats, were allowed to
flock by themselves.
Neither Babcock nor Stone developed
su1nclent strength at the caucus to insure
an election by Republican votes alone, so
the matter went over to the contest in open
board meeting.
Charles S. Young is entered in the con-
test Oh the score of his being the nominee
iof the place on the Republican ticket at
the last election. Moulder, the Demo-
cratic candidate, defeated him.
:. Inc Republican members will go into
tne meeting to-day unpledged by anything
that occurred at Monday afternoons
caucus. This leaves an open, free field for
al the candidates, as the most strenuous
efforts were without avail at that time to
commit the caucus on majority vote.
1t IS expected that the question will be
decided to-day on the third ballot, the
hrst ballot exhausting the complimentary
vote and the second ballot developing the
Juggling strength of the leaders in the
contest
