New York. Oct. is - Mrs. L. A..
| Webster Ross, who has fought
! in the courts in this city and in
| Rhode Island for several years to prove
her claim that she Is tho only heir to the
| william ii. King estate, valued at several
million dollars, was in this city yester-
day preparing her ammunition TO con-
! tinue the struggle here. she was armed
with deposition and "a photograph,
which she hopes will establish hor claim
that the man who left the fortune was
not William IL King, but her uncle, who,
she al eges, took the name Of King in
China. 1he photograph is that OF tho
millionaire. IL was taken at Saratoga
shortly after he returned from China, in
1860 with his fortune. 1t represents a
large, plw.rful man with black, curly
hair.
The deposition is that of Bishop Alex
ander Burgess, OF Peoria, III. 1t was
taken at Portland Me-, in July last.
The Bishop testified that he was a
classmate of William ii. King, OF New
port, r. l. at Brown University. in the
class of '3S; that King, who was abont
twenty years old when he was graduated,
was then slight, delicate and weak
minded man, with light straight hair,
and that 20 likeness or resemblance to
tnat King can be traced in the photograph
Bishop Burgess added, that although
he had not seen his classmate in fifty
nine years. he remembered his features
well.
he also testified that he heard some
time previous at class reunion, held in
1SiS that the King he had known had
become i'm mbeoile and had "been taken
care of, )" and that the matter of his men,
tai weakness had been spoken of as
thing that was generally known. at that
class reunion.
Mrs. Ross told mo that her lawyer,
Judge Jere Wilson, OF Washington, will
testify that United States Minister TO
Russia Lathrop told him that the New
port William II. King was in an asylum
near Brown University in lSiS. and that
Lathrop's deposition found the witness
dead.
All the parties to the suit admit that
the William III. King whose sfortune is
now being fought for was IN China for
several years prior to and until 1850. One
of the suits, tnat brought to enjoin Mrs
Ross forever from making "a claim upon
the estate, will bo tried in the Supreme
Court, this city, in q few days.

shows, however, the ease with which
bad conduct may be justified on
high moral ground. Mr.. Buchanan,
afterwards President of the United
States. and man whose personal
character has never been censured,
a religious man, a lover of Amerl-
can institutions, said in the Mani
festo that the United States could
not secure Cuba without the con-
sent of Spain, UNLESS justified by
the great law of self preservation, .
and that 1--WE (the United States
must preserve our own conscious
rectitude and our own self respect"
in dealing with Spain. He and his
associates, having saturated them
selves with the sweet perfume Oh
conscious rectitude, and proclaimed
to mankind how pleasant it was to
contemplate the beauty OF holt
ness, then proceeded to business
details, and informed mankind that
if Spain refused to sell Cuba, and
her continued possession of the
Island endangered our internal
peace and the existence of oul
cherished Union," then Cuba should
be promptly seized, ''on the princi;
pie, (they said), that would JUST
fly an individual in tearing down a
house of his neighbor if there were
no other means of preventing the
flames from destroying his own
house." They then stated that they
believed that the time had come
for action.

Back in prehistoric times our ances-
tors probably knew fear as constant
feeling, says Our Animal Friends.
They fought to defend their lives and
homes from one another. With the
beginning of agriculture and the do
mestication of animals, fighting ceased
to be the chief object of existence
gentler feelings had chance to grow,
and fear was not so common a state
of mind. But we are not in the condi-
ton of savage tribes. We do not live
in fear ourselves, and We understand
that the animals we have domesticated
must be treated with uniform kind
ness: The horse is exceedingly nerv-
Gus; while cattle do not appear 60
nervous, any dairyman will tell tytJn
that the utmost gentleness is necessary
in caring for them. Wee reason
away most of our feary;; neither the
wild nor the domestic animals can do
so much. The one way to teach an
animal to conquer .ear is to let him
feel that he may trust us. 1t is the
true and only way.
