Peculiar. Nasal Appendages Prov.
Heirs to the Kipp Estate.
RondOut, N. T., Nov. 27.-Mrs. Nettie
R. v. Peabody and George F. L. Kipp, of
California, have established their identity
as the children of James Brown Kipp, a
former resident Of Saugerties, n. T., and
have proved themselves rightful heirs to
half of large estate left by their uncle,
Andrew Kipp, of saugerties, who some
years ago died intestate.
James Brown Kipp when a boy ran away
from home after being severely whipped
by his father for breaking jug of rum
which his brother William had broken and
lied about. He went to California early in
40: He was snever seen or heard Of agaiu by
his family until his children. on the death
of their uncle, appeared and claimed a
shere in his property.
The cfaifn was contested by William
E. Kipp,n aii btily living brother of Andre W
Kipp, wil6 declared the Californians Were
impostors. Finally, by means Of peculiarly
shaped noses of the brother and sister, 1t
was proven that they were really the chill
dren of the late James Brown Kipp. The
Kipp nose is one of enormous size, and Is
a striking characteristic of the family. No
one else but member of that family ever
had such peculiarly shaped nose, and by
theis noses alone the identity of the Califor.
mans was esta blished. They had no pa

1t IL agreeable TO pass from these threat
enings of cannon and carna ge 10 contempla-
tion of the Christian spirit of forgiveness
which Boss Thomas C. Platt is beginning
TO show TO his late Republican opponents
in the New York election. What the Sen

is harmony with himself as the solo per
former upon the harinonica. So, now h..
announces. in concert with Quigg, that the
doors are open again, and that every Re-
may have thrown at the machine in the
past, may come in and be forgiven. The
beauty 1f the thing is that Platt seems to
take this course seriously, and to DE
acter. His excuse for disnmuntiug from
his eminence, and his willingness to eX-
tend the glad hand Is. that the Results OF
the election show the growing power OF
ful orrow to all good gold bugs, unless
they can come together, and under ths
black plume of the Easy Boss, line up fol
another battle royal against the hosts of
the people. Such. however, is the wick
edness OF human nature, that the Citizens
Union following appear to he taking the
invitation as huge joke, irstead OF ac
ceptihg :t with JOY and tears. Probably
the truth is that when Boss rlatt made
his trade with Boss Croker, he Knocked
hole in his machine, which not even his
current ou:burst OF forgiveness can repair.
