Fortzae for scfenee,

The full text of the will of the late
Alfred Noble, the distinguished chemist
and inventor of dynamite, has now
been made public. With the exception
of a few private requests, his fortune,
estimated at $40, 0O0, 900, has been be-
queathed forthe advancementof science
throughout the world, or, in the tesla
tors words, it is to constitute a fund,
the income of which shall be distribut-
cd yearly among those who ''during
the preceding year shall have render
ed the NEST eminent services to hui
manity.' The income is to be divided
into five equal prizes, to be respective
ly awarded to the four persons who
shall have made the most important
discovery in the domain of physics, OF
chemistry and of medicine. and who
shall have produced the greatestwork,
in an ideal sense, in the domain of let
ters. and to the person who shall have
exerted the greatest or the best action

suppression or diminution of permanent
armies, and for the formation or
spreading of peace congresses. AS
these prizes will amount to $50, 600 a
year each, they are, without doubt, the
largest of their kind that were ever es-
tablished, and offer great encourage
ment to discoveries, scientists, in
ventors, authors and philanthropists
in many fields of human research and
activity. 1t seems strange, however,
that the inventor of explosives which
figure SO much in modern warfare
should desire to have the fortune that
he thus made devoted to the bringing
about of universal peace His offer is
open to the whole world, and it would
not be surprising if some of the stu
dents and scholars of our own country
would find wealth and fame from this
generous offer.-Philadephia In

Reflections of a Bachelor.

The more some men fail the more
they think they've succeeded.
The average woman's idea of econ
omy is never to throw away sour milk.
If a woman can't glorify strength in
a man she will glorify his weakness.
Women are like some kind of vituals
the more we love them the less they
agree with US.
There's nothing so aggravating as a
man with irregular habits, unless it's
a women with regular ones.
a man is a good deal more apt to
take his wife to a French ball than to
take the woman he intends to marry.

LEGACY FOR JUDGE ORR.
Judge TyyOhy Insisted On C0mDIi-
eating the Michae{a Case.


eating the MichaeIa Case.
Leon Michaels, the proprietor of the
Berlin Art company, recently arrested
by Constable Quint and subsequently
discharged upon motion of City AttOr-
ney Earragh, was arrested on a state
warrant yesterday despite the effort Of
Mr. Darragh to circumVent such pro-
ceedings, and arraigned in the police
court on the charge Of assault and bat
terry. Michaels pleaded not guilty tc
the charge lodged against him by
young Percy Hagen and secured 4
continuance until March 4.
When Michaels was brought into
court, Judge McCaferty, his attorney,
urged Judge TWOhy to try it at once,
but the court stated that he preferred
the case to be heard in it's regular
course. This. however, it appears, viii
give rise to another complication, as
the matter will now come up before
Judge err, as Judge TWohy will be
occupied in the civil branch of the
municipal court on March 4. In this
connection it was stated that, if the
case should be dismissed before Judge
Orr upon motion Of City Attorney Oar
ragh, as has been done before Judge
TWOhy, the latter, if not satisfied with
the disposition, might, next month,
have Michaels rearrested. To ObViate
this contingency Judge TWOhy stated
that, should Judge Orr dismiss the case,
that would end the matter The open
question now appears to be who Will
prosecute the case when it comes up.
The prosecution, it is said, lies within
the province Of either the city attorney
or the county attorney but on ac-
count Of the forced issue more COM
pHcauons may arise from this source

FOR SCHOOL INSPECTORS.
Doran Names E. o. Zimmerman and
Bernard Zimm hermann.

DOran Names E. o. Zimmerman and
Bernard zimmerman.
Edward o. Zimmerman, of the Sec
ond ward, and Bernard Zimmerman,
of the Fifth ward, were yesterday ap-
pointed members of the school board
to succeed E. j. Abbott and Richard S.
McNamee. The appointment Of Bar
ney" Zimmerman, Of the Fifth ward,
was one that had been expected as the
Il o b e last week told the fact that
the mayor had given it out that he
was favorably inclined to the gentle
man from the Fifth ward. The ap-
pointment of the other Zimmerman
was something in the nature of a sur
prise. 1t was expected that Charles
Il. Mailer would be the second APP
pointee, but as Mr.. Mailer is now in
the South and Is not expected back
for couple Of months, the Second ward
statesman was selected. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Mailer will be given
the next vacancy which occurs in the
beard. Then Mn Zimmerman wanted
a position on the board of public works,
but these have both been promised.
Bernard Zimmerman is a business
man and has been connected with the
Peoples Ice company for number of
years. He is prominent in Fifth ward
politics, and this, it is claimed, gave
him the call with the mayor in making
the selection.
Edward O. Zimmerman was mem
Der of the reform board Of aldermen,
which was ushered in with the Wright
reign in 1892. He was a candidate for
reelection in 1894, but fell by the way
side, Charles Kartak securing the cleo
ton by a close vote. He has been a
resident of the city for a number Of
years and is said to have been strong
&c
being the only one the mayor had at
his disposal, it Was given to him.

week from tonight, probably at the

the church may reorganize and hire :,
pastor again. This church at one time
had one of the largest congregations
in the city, and, with Dr. Vail as pas
tor, the meetings in the theater in
which they were held were attended
by large gatherings each Sunday An
excellent choir, some Of the members
Of which have since won fame ana
success, was in attendance at each
service, and the church seemed to be
thriving. But hard times and inLebt
edness had their way and the crganiZa-
ton went the way Of many others.
