THE BLYTHE MILLIONS.
The Lawyers viii Get the Largest
share of the Estate.


San Francisco, May 25.-The dismissal
by the United states Supreme Court yester-
day Of the appeal of the gypsy claimants
to the Blythe estate practically ends over
ten years litigation for the possession OF
the four -million-lolIar estate left by the
late Thomas Blythe.
His natural daughter, Florence Blythe
Hinckley, gets what the lawyers have lert
of the big estate. The share OF the lawyers
will be two and three-quarteT millions, thus
leaving Florence only one and quarter
millions.
The lawyer who gets one-third OF the
whole estate is Attorney General Hart. who
took the case on contingency. For six years
he maintained Florence and her relatives
and furnished the money for conducting the
litigation. The estate consists of nearly
an entire block on the north side OF Market
street, between Kearney and Grant avenues,
covered with small buildings. In the pres
ent di!apidated condition the rents amount
20 81 z, 900 per month. 1t is hoped that
Florence and the lawyers can unite TO
erect a large office building on the lots.

The Cuban situation today is without
specially new features. Mr. McMinin has
presented a dilemma TO the Reed Committee
on Rules. If they report on the resolution
filed by the Democratic leader, the fight
will be pTecipltated, and if they ignore
it, which is probable. they will place the
Republican ma jority in the awkward posi-
tion before the country of alliance with
Spain, the Spanish bondholders and the
sugar trust. That position may be en-
tirely satisfactory to Mr. Reed, MI. Ding
ley and few others, already too COM
pletely tsrred with the trust stick to be
affected by anything additional; but IL
will not suit the general run of Repub-
ncan members, who are even now having
q hard time OF il with their constituents,
and who will be unable long to with
stand the pressure Of popular indignation.

Baker, cOi0Ted, whose weight was 452
pounds The side pieces OF the doorway

pallbearers raised it into the biggest
wagon in town, no hearse being large
enough
The casket was 2S inches high and
p inches wide Nancy died of fatty de

had been unable to walk or stand any
length of time, her ankles not being strong
enough to support her immense weight

One OF the Rarest Books.

Among the books Of comparatively
recent date, if the seventeenth century
can be described as such, is, as the FL
zevir collector well knows, the famous
''Patissier Francois, a small duodecimo
printed by Louys and Daniel Elzevir at
Amsterdam in 1866. A faulty and poor
reimpression Of work of little value
issued in Paris two years previously,
this book has become the most sought
after of all he Elzevir works, just be-
cause it is wrongly thought to be the
scarcest. 1t has fetched prices reaching
in France as high as 1900 francs. The
reason for the supposed rarity is Of
course that, instead of being placed ON
its first appearance on the shelves of the
curious or the studious, the little vol.
ume was thumbed to pieces by the
greasy hands Of cooks and kitchen maids.
Genuine enthusiasts in the printers art
have hoped to see the price diminished
in presence of the revelations lately
furnished concerning it. Its market
value, however, shows no signs of dim
mutton, and that one copy, sold in
England during the last seven or eight
years, fetched at Sotheby's on June 10,
1895, the sale being that of the Earl of
Oxford, the preposterous price Of el00.

Must Conquer IL They Want Shelter.

The German soldier, says the London
News, carries his own house ON his back
that is to say, his share of O shelter
tent. The stout pieces Of waterproof
sheeting are joined together 30 as to
form three sides Of square, and the
men are saved from the worst in wind
and rain. The idea of the shelter tent
in sections is no new one. The French
had it many years ago in their tente
d'abri. 1t has many advantages 1t re-
duces the baggage Of the army, and it
enables the soldier to go into lodgings at
once on reaching the scene of the
bivouac.
Troops often suffer miserable discom-
fort in waiting for hours for their heavy
tents. The Germans have no faith in
these cumbrous contrivances. They have
often sent whole armies into the field
without any sort of shelter. Their the.
DRY is that if the men win battle they
will find all they want in the towns and
villages, and that il they lose it they
will have no time to pitch tents. The
shelter tent seems compromise be-.
tween these views.

like holiness, Is a mighty leveler,' says
q distinguished divine. And what may

occasion of his marriage, would wear
something old, something new. some
thing borrowed and something blue.
He urged, therefore, my appearance
next day in pair of socks procured es
pecially by him for me. One was abso
lutely unworn, the other had seen serv
ice and was darned. but they were both
blue. And must borrow them.
Mr.. Telford, l remember, lent me a

of those dear boys were married, when
their time came, in something blue that
was borrowed from me.
