hts WIFE TWO DAYS ONLY
Nevertheless Mr.. Reynolds Left All
His Money to Mrs. Norton.
Romance Surrounding the VIII of
Lucius Reynolds Filed Yester-
day for Probate.

There are peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the making of the will of the
iate Lncius Reynolds, which was filed
yesterday for probate.
MIR. keynolos was eighty years old when
he died in New York the 21st If lastmonth,
and had only been welded two days.
Notwithstanding this fact he many months
before made a Will, in which he left half
of his estate to his wife, neglecting TO men
ton who his Wife was, or would be.
A romance surrounds his Courtship of
Mrs. Mary A. Norton, Washington wiGow,
whom he subsequently married, and the
interesting fact connected with his will
adds much to tie story already printed
regarding his wedding in New York.
Both were members OF the First Con-
gregational Church OF this city. and they
resided at 926 K street northwest. Mrs.
Norton was past the middle age of life
and had been a widow for several years.
year ago Mr.. Reynolds lived at 2O3
Thirdstreet nOrthea ST, put soon after he III ct
Mrs. Norton he clangedd his abode to the
clearinghouse on X street.
Mrs. Norton had relatives in New York,
and Mr.. Reynolds often found / convenient
to transact business there. The week of
their marriage they both found themselves
inthe Metropolis, andth old gentleman sum
moned up courage to press his suit. They
had talked over this many times before
In fact Mr.. Reynolds must have expected
the nuptials to take place some time, be-
cause IN his Will he had anticipated such
an event ever since last May.
AT last the widow consented and a mar
riage license was procured. On the / 9th OF
October they were welded by Rev. Charles
b. Chaplin. Their friends were notified OF
their marriage, and many congratulations
were received.
Unfortunately Mr.. Reynolds was taken
suddenly i'll. a severe cold contracted a
few days before his wedding developed into
pneumonia, and two days after his mar
riage he died. The funeral took place next
day, ,andthe deccas sed was interredat Wood
lawn Cemetery, New York,
a strange circumstance was that the
newspaper announcement OF wedding and
death were published together in the same
paper and within one inch of each other
1t is understood that Mrs. Reynolds, nee
Norton, has returned to Washington. and
having found the will among her husbands
effects, has filed 1t for probate.

"A GENUINE GIRL"
Latest Production From the Pen of
Mrs, I, G. Lincoln,

Among the women of Washington's eX-
elusive set who have distinguished them
selves in the world of fiction is Mrs. Jeanne
Gould Lincoln, whose latest work. "a Gen
uine Girl" has been announced by Hough-
ton, Aiiffln & Co. as ready for issue next
week.
Readers Of Mrs. Lincoln's first book,
''Marjorie's Quest" one of the most pop
ular and wholesome stories OF its time,
will welcome "a Genuine Girl" which is.
in some sense, scuuel to it, though en-
tircly complete in itself.
Marjorie herself reappears as the wife
Of the boy lover of the former story and
mother OF the heroine of this
The husband is a United States Senator,
who lives up to the noble ideals that We're
but aspirations of the boy hero in Mar
jorieS Quest and the introduction of
scenes from Washington army life,
Yale ball game, and a New London boat
race necessitate a number of other inter-
esung characters, including lovers, of
course.
The book is said to display real power,
and the same true aptitude for romance
writing that made 'Marjorie's Quest one
Of the most readable books of its day.
Mrs. Lincoln is the daughter OF Judge
George Gould, of Troy, N Y, and the wife
of DR.. Nathan s. Lincoln, Of this city.

SHE LAYS ON HANDS.
Marvellous Healing Powers of a New
York Woman.

Albany, N. Y, Nov. 14.--Mrs. James B.
Clark, who resides at West Chazy, Clinton
county, has recently given evidence OF
great healing powers, which she does by
the laying on OF hands. Since the discov-
cry, eighty persons, sInostly among her
friends and neighbors, have been treated
and found relief.
The strangest part of Mrs. Clark's pho
nomenal success in healing is that cures
are effected simply by this laying on OF
hands, and, whether the patient is be-
lever or an unbellever, the curative cf-
feet appears to be the same. Among those
who have been treated are the Rev. l.. L.
Lawrence, pastor OF the NJ. E. Church. for
rheumatism; Mrs. Garry Merrihew, for
rheumatism, and l.. d. Hay, for neuralgia.
The most remarkable cure, perhaps, thus
far effected was that of Barney Wilson,
whose address is Ghamplain. Mr.. Wilson
had been for some time afflicted with palsy,
his nerves being in such a condition that
he hac lost control of his hands, not being
able to dress or undress himself for many
months.
One treatment from Mrs. Clark resulted
in almost instantaneous relief, and he was
able to dress himself and get down stairs
next morning without assistance of any
kind.

The Lounger.

TORoNTo, according to II. S. Strahey,
resident OF that city, who Is u
guest at the Shoreham, is just re-
covering from great business depresslon'
which has lasted for ten years or more.
AS in. many other cities of Canada and
the United States, boom was started
there about fifteen years ago, when land
brought higher prices than anywhere else
in Canada. Everything was done by those
interested in the boom to raise prices and
place a fictitious value on property. Rows
upon rows OF houses were built, fake sales
were made and every known trick or the
real estate business was resurted to.
OF course, prices went away up and the
town attained an abnormaleXtenSlon Whicn
it would not have accomplished under ordi-
nary conditions in many years. These
forced values held for about five years,
when the bottom dropped completely out
OF Toronto property and improved lots

that time prices have been slowly recov-
ering, but even So late as a month ago
house which cost 1000 TO build brought
only $4,000 under the hammer.
Another example OF forced growth, in
Mr.. Strahey's opinion, are the manufac-
lures which heretofore have thriven
greatly under the high tariff of the con-
servative party. But now that the Lib
erals for the the first time in eighteen
years are in power, this policy is likely to
be reversed and the factories are cor
respondingly in a fnghtful state Of de-
preston. With the success OF the Liberal
party. however. Mr.. Suahey sees better
times ahead for Canada, and predicts a
great business revival In the near future.

.HE study Of OPTICS and the advn

the one subject upon which DR..
Hopper Fleischle. OF San Francisco, who is
a guest at the Ebbit House, grows enthusias-
tic.
He claims that the knowledge and treat
ment OF eye troubles, which is his own
speciality, has made more progress in
modern times than any other branch OF the
study of medicine. Besides this, it has been
the most useful to humanity at large. To
prove this, one only has to look at the
number of persons on the streets who wear
glasses, and compare them with the num-
Der who wore them fifty years ago.
Each OF these persons is being relieved
from the most intense kind Of pIin through
the skill OF the Oculist, and fully 10 per
cent are rescued thereby from ultimate
blindness. Furthermore, the science of
late years has made such rapid strides
that today there is scarcely n disease of the
eye which cannot be permanently cured by
medical treatment The method OF renoy-
ing cataract is a good example of the
progress made in this branch.
