Mrs. c. L. Gilbert one of the Heirs to a
Vast Fortune.


On the 18th day of September, 1895,
at Maumee, o., there was gathering of
all the families who are descendants of
Jonathan Carver. He was one of the
early explorers of the headwaters of the
Mississippi river, and during this time
made peace between several tribes of In
dians, and was given tract of land sixty
miles square where st. Paul and Mime
apolis now are. This vast estate still re-
mains unsettled, and the heirs are now
endeavoring to prove their claim.
Among the number are Mrs. Harriet
Gum of Ell Dorado, Kan. Mrs. G. M :.
Fizer of Andrews, Ind. Trainmaster G.
E. Wells, Conductor F. W. Wells, Con-
ductors L. G. Gum and Geo. Gum of
Toledo, o.; and Lucian Gum of Van
Vert, o. Should they succeed in estab-
fishing their claim, each claimant would
undoubtedly be made millionaire.
When Mrs. G. L. Gilbert's' attention
was called to the above she was not in
the least surprised, although she is one
of the heirs. She remembers well when
little girl of hearing her grandfather
say that he would not live to see the
claim settled, but that the children
would. Of the heirs spoken of above
Mrs. Gilbert is the daughter of Mrs. @.
M. FIzer, and sister of G. E. Wells and
F. w. Wells.

>A ouestion Of verac,ty.

A Chinese trial is going on this after
noon at Justice Filloon's court. Tom
Louie owed 10y $16, and was offered $40,
which he took. While following him
up to collect the Sc remaining, an alter
cation arose, resulting in the defendant,
10y, who was also the creditor, striking
Louie over the head with pistol. The
prosecuting witnesses exactly disagree
with the defense, the latter disclaiming
that trouble of any kind occurred. 1t is
a question of veracity, and it is hard
to tell which side is lying outright.
The Chinese have little regard for our
form of oaths. Now if Justice Filloon
would bring in chicken. and have the
witness, as he was called, chop its head
off, no earthly consideration could in
duce him to lie upon the witness stand,
for that is the form of the Chinese oath.

a Lecture to Parents.


The lecture last evening by Rev.
Parker was attended by a large audi
ence, in the main youthful and of the
gentler sex. 1t would have been more
fitting had there been more parents in
attendance, for the lecture was directed
to them; but as a large proportion of
the attendance who, if they are not, will
most probably be parents some time,
they will remember the wise precepts
they haye heard and turn them to ad-
vantage in the future. The labor of
Mr.. Parker is purely philanthropical,
and is calculated to make better men
and women of the little ones now grow
ing up around US. In his opening re-
marks he stated that the work was an
old one, as old as the public school
itself.
The true mother is the one who rears
the child and guides its mental develop
ment with unfaltering care. He has de-
cided the old question as TO which is
the mother of the chick, the hen which
lays the egg, or the hen which matches
it, in favor of the latter. She it Is who
cares for it, feeds it, and watches over
it until it is able to care for itself. The
same rule applies to the human mother,
and there is distinction between off
spring and children. He had known
mothers who administered an opiate to
make their babe sleep till morning so
that they might spend social evening
away from home, unencumbered by it.
With rare beauty of language he pic
tured the delight of the young mother
who, in the joy of seeing her first born
smile up into ker face for the. first time,
calls quickly to her husband: "John,
John, the baby can talkI'
He paid a high tribute to our public
schools, calling them the buIwark of our
liberties, and urged his hearers to pre-
serve them as the most i'm portant insti-.
tuition of this land. He finds that sev-
enty-five per cent of the insane are illit-
serate, and only four per cent OF the
criminals have a high school education.
The greatest source of crime is parental
neglect. Ithas been said that whenever
you build school you close prison.
He has decided that the work of the
teacher is more important than that of
the minister, for two excellent reasons.
He has but fifty-two hours each year to
inculcate morals and education, while
the teacher has 14O0. Then the minis
ter talks to those whose minds have be-
come set and calloused, while the teach
er's audience have plastic minds that
receive and retain the minutest impress
sion. 1t is therefore important that the
teacher have good moral character,
and he believes parents should always be
vigilant over teachers, and if one is dis
covered who lacks in this requirement
to at once make it known to the proper
authority. From this on he pursued
the central thought of his lecture, the
relation of the parent to the teachers
work. and urged that the parent should
work more in harmony with the teacher,
not always to take the child's view OF
the case when it has been chastised, and
to talk over the faults or virtues and
make know to the teacher, as far as pos
Isible, the chiId's characteristics; to

QUEEN wlLHELMINA's JOKE.


Her Majesty Of Holland Has soms Fun ~
the Expense Of Her 0overnsss.
The Figaro tells rather amusing
story about the twelve-year-old young
Queen Wilhelmina Of Holland, prefac-
ing it's narration by the statement that
the alarming news which was circu-
lated concerning the health of her
majesty in August last is quite uncon-
firmed, and saying that the story in
question is proof of the good spirits Of
the young queen. .ar.
The governess OF her majesty, an
English lady, Miss Saxton Winter, had
given the little queen, as an extra task,
the drawing and coloring Of map OF
Europe because she had not known her
lesson in Turkish and Chinese geogra-
ply al well a. the governess deemed
she ought to have, done. The queen
agreed to do the extra task imposed
upon her, saying: "very we'll; I will
do the map, because meant to be obe-
dent. But-you will see."
In due course the map was drawn
and colored and handed to the COVER
ness. The young queen had made the
British Isles very small, about the size
of the Baloarie islands, and had COW
cred them with London fog" colored
paint. But Holland, on the contrary,
was of enormous size, occupying q
large part of that space which in ordi-
nary maps IL aea. This immense tract
of land was glorided in the most bril-
liant colors. Miss Saxton Winter
laughed. The young queen was de-
lighted with her joke and the map was

the czarevitch of the scheme which
promised results so valuable. To the

THE NEW czAR's EDUCATION

N1cnOl2o was C1ro1uuy Trained In Ian.
guages and Liked Best tho French.
Car Nicholas, Paris correspondent
writes, had successfully in youth two
French tutors. They both lived in the
palace, and confined themselves to the
French branch of the czarowitz' educa-
ton. They were professors OF the
French university, and the one who
served last. NJ. Lanson, filled the chair
OF French literature at Toulouse be-
fore he went to Russia. He is now
writing his impressions Of the court of
Russia. They are to come out first in
a reyiew, and then in small volume.
The Figaro has been interviewing him.
NJ. Lanson speaks of the late emperor
as strong, cold, and yet headlong, end
subject to violent Ats of anger that
frightened all those around him. His
SON entirely takes after the empress
dowager. He is thoughtful. nervous,
impressionable, and not strong willed.
The German teachers did not reside in
the palace. Nicholas was taught other
languages with as great care as French,
which he knows thoroughly, and knew
well llbefore he had professor. II he
preferred one French author to an
other it was Victor Hugo or Lamar
tine. It was his teachers business to
explain to him the peculiar character
istics Of the great writer's, whom they
studied after they had read selections
from them, or as they read through
them. He found that his pupil assimi-
lated rapidly, and he certainly was at
tentive. NJ. Lanson will not say that
theyoung prince had marked prefer
ence for French literature, though he
showed strong desire to learn all he
could about France. But he certainly
had q higher opinion of French painters
and sculptors than those Of any foreign

one Of the most Enthusiastically

toms and ways.
..This year l arrived there in the
evening, and was amazed to find the
streets as brilliantly lighted rs Broad

was from swinging horn lantern here
and there. There were clusters Of in
candescent lights strung across the
streets every few yards. The little inn
had q complete installation, and 30 had
the few little shops. l was prepared
to learn that the formerly quiet village
had become fashionable watering
place. But 1t hadn't. It was as quiet
and as slow, antiquated and out Of
date as ever. Later, as wandered
about the Tyrol and Switzerland, I
found the same change everywhere.
s'It is very natural that it should be
SO, too, for in all that region there is
power in superabundance running
waste on every hand. From every
rock leaps q cascade, and over every
cliff roars waterfall; there are
streams that flow evenly with steady,
small power and torrents that thunder
down with tons of force. The village
Of Murren, perched on the edge of q
cliff opposite the Jungfrau, at a height
Of Ave thousand feet above sea level,
has very complete electric lighting
system, and power enough within q
few hundred. yards radius to light half

almost free.
'sThis is, SO far as could learn. the
very first use to which the vast water
power in the Alps has been put. Hith-
erto it has all run idle. Materialistic
