HER HEIRS SADDENEO.
Find the Late Mrs. EImendorf's "Dfa-
mOndso Are Paste.

Find the Late Mrs. EImendorf's "Dia-
monds" Are Paste.
The fact that all is not gold that gilt
tiers and that all stones that sparkle
are not diamonds has just been brought
home with unpleasant emphasis to the
heirs of Mrs. Nancy Elmendorf, an &C.
centric but cultured woman who died
in New Brunswick, n. j., few months
ago. Mrs. Elmendorf was at one time
wealthy, or at least her husband, Fred
erick Frelinghuysen Elmendorf, was,
and she was noted among her society
friends for her handsome jewelry.
Much of this was given away during her
widowhood, but enough remained at
her death to make the heirs believe
they would receive many valuable heir
looms. Their hopes have just been shat
tered by a local jeweler, who, after ex-
aiming several of the finest "dia-
monds," has pronounced them nothing
but French paste. Mrs. Elmendorf's
husband was a nephew of the late The
'odore Frelinghuysen, at one time pres
ident of Rutgers college, and made a
fortune as a grain broker in Chicago,
where he lived for many years.

undermines the supports that hold up the
bridge of life and yearly precipitates untold

will act in time.

TALKS OF HIS AIRSHIP.

Professor Barnard Gives Particulars
Regarding His Second Trip.
Prof. Arthur Barnard's airship is
again quartered at the exposition
grounds and the now famous inventor
is being besieged by newspaper men
for interviews of his second trip, which
he made the other evening.
After leaving the centennial grounds
Prof. Barnard sailed in southeast
wardly direction, landing in q wheat
field IL miles from the city, where he
secured an express wagon and returned
home with his ship. Prof. Barnard
claims he sailed the IL miles in 80 min
utes, the latter portion of the route
being traversed at the rate of a mile in
two minutes. A second voyage demon
strated to the satisfaction of the pro-
fessor that he was able to manipulate
the ship from right to left even in a
stiff wind. 1t also showed that he was
unable to go directly against the wind,
but that he was able to hold his own in
an eight-mile-an-hour wind. By cut
ting across obliquely and lacking the
navigator expresses his ability to make
rapid progress in the direction desired
with the present power. Prof. Barnard
says he is more than satisfied with the
two experiments and states that he has
in process of perfection additional ap-
paratus which will increase the motive
power of the shin.

MATCHED IN A DISTILLERY.
Eggs Turned Into Chicks in a Big
Heated Whisky Warehouse.

Cheswick, ID miles from Pittsburgh,
Pa, has the largest incubator in the
world at present, though it has never
yet been tested to its full capacity. The
incubator is the bonded warehouse of
the Penwick Distilling company, $50
by $50, in which are stored 5000 bar
rels of whisky. The temperature of
this building is seldom below 95 de-
grees, and some weeks ago Manager
Charles Bowers, a poultry enthusiast,
conceived the idea of Matching eggs by
placing them in the warehouse. He
placed 20 eggs on Stats and treated
them incubator fashion. On the morn
ing of. the twenty-second day he found
several of the shells Clipped" and in
six hours more he had a dozen strong
looking chickens. He at once fixed up
a corner of the warehouse as a hatch
cry and has now 200 eggs on the Stats.

FINER TOMB FOR DAVIS.
southerner Proposes to Guido the
Grant Monument.

SOutherner Proposes to OutdO the
Grant Monument.
An ambitious southerner has mapped
out a plan which has been approved
and Endorsed by many ex-confederates
whereby he thinks 100000 can be
raised to erect the Jefferson Davis mon
ument in Richmond, Va. His name is
P. S. Boisseau, former tobacconist
and now sheriff of Danu6le, Va.
He is pleading with his former COM
rades in the confederate service and
with the southern people generally to
exert themselves to make the Davis
monument grander in It's magniicence
and more costly than the tomb of
Grant. Boisseau has a plan which he
thinks can be worked successfully. He
offers to head list of Virginians to
give 800 each. He thinks 100 more
can be found who would give $50 each,
and so down to the IS class.
He estimates that 100000 could be
raised in Virginia by compact organiza-
ton, and that if the plan is tried in each
of the other southern states, which he
believes will be done, $1,000,000 could
be secured outside OF the money con-
tributed directly to the Davis Monument
association. Boisseau thinksif the south
ern people can be made to realize that
in very short time they could dedicate
in Richmond a monument to Davis
grander and more magnificent than
Grants tomb the scheme would easily
succeed. 1t is his wish and purpose to
try to fire their hearts with enthusiasm
in this work.
The Davis monument is to be erected
in Monroe park, in Richmond. The cor
ner stone was laid last July. Consider
able money already has been raised. j.
Taylor Ellison, one of the leading DEM
ocratic candidates for governor of Vir-
ginia, is the president of the monu-

that both of them had been with her
until Wednesday afternoon, after which
each charged the other having her i'm

HAS FORGOTTEN THE TRAGEDY.
Mystery i'm the Fort Wayne Sensation Is
Deeper Than Ever.

Fort WAYNE, Ind, March 22.-The
condition of Miss Mae Hall is one of
great improveiEs.1t. Although phvsi-
cally she is recovering from the ehects
Of the poisoning, there is hiatus In her
mind covering the period of time when
the tragedy took place. No questions
have yet been asked for, and what
little she says but deepens the mystery.
She imagines Will Colerick is still alive
and well. and she constantly wonders
WHY he does not come to her. She wrote
him a long letter yesterday morning,
asking that a special delivery stamp be
mt on II. A bunch of violets sent TO
the hospital by a friend without a card
she declared came from Will. The best
evidence that she really does not know
and is not concealing anything Is that
she is happy and contented, singing ana
chatting with her friends. The pubic
Is more mystified than ever by the fact
that the girl seems honestly endeavor-
ing to explain things. and does not even
know that her lover was In the house
with her on the night of the Tragedy
much less that he is dead and buried.

within the constitutional prohibition,
but that officers in cities, appointive or
elective, under laws of the state which
impose duties in relation to state az
fairs. may be said to hold office under
the state.
The language of the state constitu-
ton on this subject is as follows: mo
member of congress nor any person
holding office under the United States
or this state shall execute the office OF
governor"
The court says: I'VE do not recall
case or a reason that has been given
that will satisfactorily explain why
mayor of a city can hold the executive
Office of governor, when an incumbent
of the lowest township office Is prohib-
tied therefrom."
On the question of incompatibility
the supreme court says: 1T Is uni
versaI rule that when incompatibility
exists in the latter office Ii vacates the
first office For violation of some OF the
duties of mayor that officer might be
removed by the governor. We have
been unable to find any decision TO the
effect that one person may hold two
offices in one OF which he is clothed
with power to remove the person hold
ing the other"
JJpon the contention which was urged
that the approval of the people (Which
is law) was evident in the tremendous
majority which Pingree received as
governor, the court says: I'm law the
effect of the election of Mr.. Pingree
and his acceptance of the office of gov
error, operated to vacate the office o1
| mayor. a court that would weigh ma
| jorities which expressed the will of peo'
| pie before so declaring, would deserve
| impeachment and contumely."
