today received news that he was heir
to New York estate Of -, 900. 600. by
will Of Ansel White, for whom search
had been in progress 20 long. For
many years Ansel White resided alone
On ranch adjoining the father Of r.
n Troy in Clallam county. White
WIS bachelor and lived in log cabin
on his ranch for twenty years. May
IS, 1888. he died at the age Of rs
years, and was buried in the land ON
which he lived 20 long. White took
fancy to young Troy. and made q will
making him sole heir and legatee. Just
prior 70 his death, however, he sold
his ranch for nominal price, retain
ing life interest. and 1t the time Of
his death was supposed TO have quite
lot Of money in his possession. Yet
none was ever found, although search
Was made high and low. His neigh
bos believe he buried the money some-
where ON the ranch
White was extremely eccentric, and
seldom held Communication with any
one except the Troy family. Before
coming to Washington he made some
money in California Seven hundred
dollars Of this he handed to q woman
in San Francisco as he was about to
leave. telling her to keep it for him
until he called for it He left no word
in San Francisco regarding his destins-
ton. and this fact has for fifteen years
baked those searching for him to in
form him Of his having fallen heir to
the estate in New York. It was sup
posed that Ansel Whites WAS one Of
those unknown bodies found floating in
the San Francisco harbor. yet during
the past two years W. Pierpont White.
son of Ansel Whites nephew, has
been searching for the lost heir or for
conclusive evidences Of his death He
was traced to California. Advertising
led to the identity Of the old rancher as
the missing heir for whom long search
had been made. At the time of max
ing the will there is little probability
that the old man was aware that the
New York estate WAS his. This, how
ever, does not affect the will made 1t

and the witnesses are still living.
Among Whites former neighbors in

The Fish andlGame Association Holds Annual
Meeting at Waterville.

Watcrville, Feb. S.-(Special). What
weather is severe enough to spoil the fun
of a true sportsman? None The real
sportsman will have as much enjoyment
casting his hook in pouring rain as
when the skies are clear. What Is true in
summer is also true in winter, and this
was seen here tonight, for in spite OF the
storm, over IS sat down at the fourth an

When the storm clouds hung low, Fri
day morning, it was feared that the event
must be postponed. But Landlord Ju;-

and it was out of the question to think OF
n postponement. And it proved unneces-
sary. too, for as the afternoon trains came
in they brought goodly number OF the

Clergymcn today need big hearts and
sound nerves to accomplish all the
good they intend.
1t isn't merely the fact of preaching
once q week that makes the life of the
minister of today so wearing on nerves
and brain. Their every day labor is
round of exacting duties that tax heavily
their nervous strength.
The modern minister, must keep up his
enthusiasm, his hopefulness and his gen
uine love of his work He must feel
strongly, think deeply and have conf
dence in his labor and in himself.
But all this taxes heart and brain to
their uttermost. 1t calls for IA tremendous
outlay of nervous energy seven days in
the week and 365 every year. Many clergy
men break down utterly under the ner-
vous strain.
Rev l. p. Quimby. the well known
Boston preacher has been saved from ncr-
vous prostration.
In publication of his Sunday school
he has recently published the following
open letter:
