A WILL WORTH MILLIONS,

The Money Is Said to Have Been LET,

Two Dutch youths, James and Jacob
Cronkheit, or Krankheit, came to this
country to seek their fortune after the
Revolutionary war. Both settled in Dutch
ess county. N. Y. James at Stanfordville
and Jacob near Poughkeepsie, and both be-
came prosperous farmers.
The tradition among the descendants of
these two Cronkheits is that they had a
wealthy brother in Amsterdam. Kasper

in love in early life. had become an irasci-
bic misanthrope, Inc had put his mind

Of prime Holland gin.
Sc disagreeable was he that no one could
live with him. and it was on that account
that his brothers left him. He asked them
to return. but they refused. Then. so
TUES the family tradition. he made a re-
markable will. and when he died sudden
ly. or April 6, 1896, 1t was found that his
entire fortune. estimated at SO. 900 600. was

The original will. left long ago in Hol-
land by Kasper Cronkheit, is Of course
the vital point on which the heirs base
their claims. and researches thus far have
failed to bring it to light. Nor can anything
be definitely learned regarding the fortune
itself. The legal procedure of Holland in
regard to wills and trusts is peculiar. and
II Is difficult to find or trace back old rec
ords.. Nor Is it unreasonable to suppose
that bank officials might not be too closely
interested to remember all about the
matter. An agent for the American heirs
is E.ow at work in Holland and a report
from him is expected soon.

WOMEN JUSTICES OF PEACE
BOSTON HAS SIX, AND THEY FIND
POWERS THEY POSSESS USEFUL.
Miss SiedeberE the First Woman of
New Zealand TO Take the Degree
of NJ. D.-Woman superin-
ndc of Schools.

Boston has six women justices of the
peace n all are interesting, womanly
women.
In 1883 IN act was passed whereby the
governor, with the advice and consent OF
the council. was authorized to appoint
women who We're attorneys at law 10 al
minister oaths, take dispositions and ae-
Acknowledgements of deeds; women SO APP
pointed TO he designated in their COM
missions as special commissioner. June
3. 1886. the office was extended even 10
women who might not be attorneys at
law.
In the list there is but one woman attor-
ney at law, and she is d school teacher
as Well. Miss Mary L. Corbett, who COM
Dimes in her person three important iuhc-
lions, that OF 4 pleader before the courts,
q trainer OF the young idea, and a taker
OF dispositions. is a very remarkable young
woman.
From her brother. Joseph Corbett; a
young lawyer and politician, she gained
her first notion of legal forms and her
first taste for musty Blackstones. Realiz-
er has an assured income, woman as a
lawyer may be poor and briefiess, she re-
solved TO carry on her studies by herself,
while keeping up her school work. This
she did and passed her bar examinations
with distinction last spring.
Almost Immediately she received her
commission. Miss Corbett still pGrsues
says that such is her intention until she
can secure just the kind Of an Office she
wants. Her name. however. Is prominent
with her brothers over the entrance to a
Charlestown law office.
Miss Sethnia Z. Hackett. another of the
six, is still studying law, but has already
received her appointment.
The commissioner in four states Is Miss
Blanche i. Bracket. who is with Charles
Hal Adams, himself q universal commits
sioner, insofar as it is possible for an
American to be. Miss Brackets principal
work is in making out passports and re-
ceiving dispositions.
Miss Halle A. Pickering. formerly a
newspaper woman, had long petitioned
before the "act extending the power to
women not attorneys at law was passed.
She wal the first woman appointed after
the act. Miss Pickering is n legal steno-
graphic reporter and finds the power Of
commissioner invaluable in her work, since
many dispositions come her way.
At first sight 1t is not quite clear why
a woman insurance agent should care to
have the pow er to act as a special COM
missioner. Miss Sarah Hughes finds much
to do, however. and inasmuch as the an
nual returns of insurance corporations
have to be sworn to before a Justice Of
the peace. the explanation Is not difficult.
The sixth and last woman is S. A. Gal
lagher.

1T is A CHARMED STAND.
Romantic That Cling About
n Certain Alliance, o.,
Type Casc.

A certain compositor's stand in the office
of the Alliance (O.) Daily Review is at
present receiving considerable free adver-
tis!nc. 1t seems that the different young
ladies who have had positions at this par
ticular stand during'th past ten or twelve
years have. in every instance, resigned
their positions to set sail on matrimonial
seas. During this time 4 dozen or more
young ladies employed at this desk have
secured life partners.
Colonel W. F. Human, the veteran ed
itor, prompted solely by curiosity, recently
took a sly peep at the charmed desk
through a ragged crack In the door of his
sonctum. and n few days later was sur
prised beyond measure when he received
a telegram announcing the marriage of a
son away dow in "Old Virginny." Natur-
ally, a lively scramble Is now on between
the young lady typcsetters of the Review
fierce as to who shall secure the vacant
desk. but the management. which is anX-
ious TO retain the present force of employ
es. has decided 10 allow II to remain va
