"A SUIT FOR CONSTRUCTION.

Made Necessary by the Peraliar r
Terms of George L. Sheriff's VIII.
Attorney Randall Hagner and Wyman l..
Cole, assignees OF George R. Sheriff, have
filed a bill in equity against the asSignor
and forty other individuals and firms, ask
ing for construction of the deed of assign
ment and for technical instructions from
the court Mr.. Sheriff was trustee for
the estate OF his father the late George
l.. Sheriff, and continued to conduct the
wood and coal business begun in this city
by the elder Sheriff. When he made an
assignment recently be did it, both in bis
capacity as trustee and individually.
Glenn I. Jones was at first associated
with George K. Sheriff as trustee. He later
resigned and the son continued in the po-
sitioR alone. It was the intention of the
elder Sheriff that none of his real property
should be used In the payment OF his debts,
but the trustees soon found it impractica-
BILE to satisfy all claimsin this manner and
the court gave them leave to borrow S15,

ment February "a. The aSsignees immetli-
ateiy took charge of affairs, bat they are
now at sea as TO Just what their rights,
duties and liabilities are.
Because of the peculiar wording of Mr..
Sheriff's will, they say, banks and other
corporations will not extend credit TO the
estate. The assignees want the court to
construe the will. The estate is worth
about $50 900, it is said

THE DETECTIVES EXCLUDED.
Presidents Body-Guard Denied Ad-
mission to CaDttol POrfico,

Capitol Detective Sinott had charge OF
tie east portico OF the Capitol. from which
President Mckinley delivered his inau-
gural address on Thursday. He had
strict and imperative orders to pass only
the President and Vice President elect,
and certain other distinguished guests,
whose names had been furnished him.
When the Presidential party arrived Mr..
sinott found Mr.. Mckinley surrounded by
six shrewd-looklng fellows, who attempted
to reach the speakers stand with him.
The Capitol detective and his assistants
interposed themselves, and told the six
shrewd-looking fellows that as their names
were not on his list, they could not go on
the stand.
But said one OF the half-dozen, whis-
pering in Sinott's ear, I'VE are the de
tectives, specially engaged, who accom-
panied Mr.. Mckinley from Canton, and
our orders are TO guard him until. he is
safely ensconsed in the White House after
the inaugural ceremonies"
Il cannot help that" replied Sinott;
Il have here a list of persons who are
entitled to admission to the stand. Your
names are not on it, and l cannot pass
yoa."
Protests on the part OF the six fly cops
constituting Mr.. McKinley's body-guard
were unavailmg, and the six detectives
from Canton had TO stand back in the
crowd until the ceremonies at the Capitol
were concluded.

VISITORS GONE FROM TOWN

Probably Nine-tepths, of the Crowd
That ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Have Returned Home.

| The gloomy, inclement weather that has
prevailed ever since the morning follow.
| ing Inauguration has had the effect OF
| hurrying many sIghtseers away who would
undoubtedly have remained in the city for
several days longer. The Avenue presents
a deserted appearance as compared with
| Thursday, and the MOTEL Hobbies are once
more beginning to assume normal con-
dition. The only people who have remained
are those who expect TO catch a few OF
the crumbs that are expected to fall from
the Presidential table.
The Ebbitt and Arlington Hotels, where
most OF the party leaders are making their
headquarters, seem to be the rendezvous
of the office-seekers. Both of these hos
telries are still crowded, and will prob
ably remain SO for several days 60 come.
The other up-to VII hotels, however, are en-
tertaining but few visitors.
The hotel men, as q rule, express much
disappointment over the manner in which
the crowd hurried away from the city
and unhesitatingly pronounce the last IN
auguration dismal failure as compared
with previous affairs OF that sort
The railroads all made special arrange
ments for taking care of the departing
guests, and one has only to take a glance
at the denuded appearance OF the city
to realize how well they accomplished their
work. But few OF the military or civic
organizations that took part in the great
pageant have remained In the city, most
Of them having taken their departure I'M
mediately after the disbandment of the
parade.
A number of notable men. including the
governors of several States, who were
present on the bright occasion have Joined
in the great exodus Governor Schofield,
OF Wisconsin, left this morning, accom-
panied by the members of his staff Gov
erhor Tanner, of Illinois, was also one of
those who left the city today ,accompa MED
by his wife and several OF his staff The
party have gone to New York, where they

to the Prairie State. Among the other
State executives WHO have taken their
departure are Governor Griggs, OF New
Jersey, and staff, Governor q rout, or
Vermont, Governor Black. of the Empire
State, and Governor Lowndes, of Mary
land.
ten. Daniel SickIes and Hon Frederick
R. Coudert, a member of the Venezuelan
Commission, are no longer noticed in the
crowd that has filled the Arlington lobby
for several day past. 1t would be a hard
matter, however, to enumerate all those
who have already left the city, but it is
safe to assume that nine-tenthsof of the people
who came to the National Capital to wit
ness Mr.. McKinley's induction into office
have left for their homes.

on Smith, Fitzsimmons and Hawkins are
quoted at TO 5: 5:smith, Fiaherty and Fitz-
simmons, 10 5, and on Corbett. Hawkins

to rough his man, or else damage his hand,
which he injured over Con DoyIe's head
recently.
DR.. John Woodbury., who has been Fitz-
simmons ph ysician for number of years,
today SAYS that he has been in constant

Kearney can safely back him to stand

Billy Brady. Brady says that jim Is In
fine trim, and cannot see, barring acci-
dents, how he can lose. Brady also says
that he is getting part of his $4,000 down

ON the strength of this Gilmore placed
500 to $50 on Jim three times, and is
ready to do the same again any number OF
times. Larry McCarty,. a Boston sport,

more.

Attorney Kicks was defending Harry

Judge, Il see good many strangers in

Menamin, Hampton. Ya.-Dear Sir: We
have your esteemed favor of the 28th, and
in reply to your inquiry as TO the ingred
tents, will say that we are willing to stake
every penny we can get together that
Postum not only does not contain coffee,
but that 1t is composed strictly and en-
trely of pure cereals of the field, the
greater portion being the various parts OF
wheat. 1t took Us nearly year OF expert
mendug to produce Postum, the health
coffee. 1t is an easy matter to make a
weak sort of drink from Drowned rye,
wheat or malt, bit TO produce liquid from
the cereals that has the color, taste and
nourishing properties OF our present pro-
duct, taxed our best energies and that OF
one of the most. expert analytical chemists
in America.
We felt a desire TO demonstrate the
principle that mans drink at meals should
be made from grains, without any sort OF
adulteration or chemical preparation, aside
from simple cooking. 1t may be furtherex-
planned. that in order to produce Postum
the cereals are cooked in different ways
and the final mixing of the proper pro-
portions is what gives Us che desired result.
There is no. possible argument that can
be brought forward that will raise the
question for a moment regarding the fixed
fact OF the healthful, nourishing and fatten-
ing properties of the. cereals furnished by
The alI-wise creator for mans natural use.

Agreement.

In giving the 50 rate Doctor Nc
Coy reserved TO himself the right
to withdraw it TO new patients
at any time by giving due notice
in the public prints Doctor Mccoy
finds that the time has come to ex-
ercise rhat right, the number OF

to very soon exceed the possibility
of personal care and attention. He
therefore announces that it Will be-
impossible to continue the rate after
April L, except to those patients al
ready under regular treatment, who
are, OF course, entitled Co tt until
cured. Until April 1 all patients
applying for treatment or renewing
treatment Will be treated unt1l
cured at the rate of S3 "a month.
There will be, however, no further
extension of the rate, and it win
