Some Odd Wills

One of the oldest documents of the
will kind was that of Queen Aus
trigilda, consort of King Goutram of
Burgundy. The dying princess enjoined
who attended her. Another will was that
of husband who forbade his wife's mar
rying on pain of his returning to haunt
her. This is quite different from that of
a woman who instructed her executors
to seek out "some nice, good, pretty girl,
who would make an affectionate second
wife to her spouse" 1t is fact, interest
ing in this connection, that the first Ma
pOleOn actually bequeathed 10000 francs
to a fellow named Cantillon, who had
been tried for attempting the assassina-
ton of the Duke of Wellington.

WHEN LAW TAKES EFFECT.
Important Point Raised by the Treasury
Department..

Department.
Washington, d. c., July 24.-The
question of the day and hour when the
new tariff law will go into operation If
signed by the President before II o'clock
tonight has been raised at the treasury
department. Information has been re-
ceived that a vessel laden with sugar has
been sighted off the Capes and probably
will enter the harbOr at Philadelphia
during the afternoon. Another vessel
with a cargo of wool is in Boston harbor
and other vessels similarly laden are eX-
pected to arrive during the day.
Hitherto the customs Offices on the At
lantic coast have been practically closed
at noon ON Saturdays. nearly all of the
employees being permitted to leave.
Secretary Gage, however, has decided
to keep the offices open today until
o'clock, the usual hour for closing on
other week days, and Assistant Secretary
Howell has sent the following telegram
to the collectors:
Department. instructions to you on
June 3, 1890, regarding hours of closing
on Saturdays, were as follows:
Such deputies, clerks and other en-
ployeS as are necessary TO transact such
current business as may arrive before
the usual closing hour of each working
day, must remain ut their posts for that
purpose
you will follow the above instruc-
tons at the present time
The instructions. however. do not affect
the question Of the time the tariff act
goes into operation The question is
new one so far as tariff acts are con-
cerned, and consequently never has been
directly passed upon by the courts.
"The Mckinley tariff act went into eff
feet by its own terms on October 8, five
days after it received the Presidents sig
nature. The Wilson bill became a law
by reason of the lapse of ten days al
lowed to the President by the constitu-
tion for the consideration Of bills passed
by Congress.
The matter has been we'll considered
by the treasury officials and it is very
probable that they viii hold that the new
act went into effect at - o'clock last
night The department. however. has
ten days before final liquidation in which
