FAY TEMPLETON WINS.
She Will Get the Money Left to Her
by Howell Osborn's Will

New York. Jan. 17.-Fay Templeton
will get the s1OO, ,O0O left her by the will
of Howell Osborn.
Judge Freedman. in the supreme
court, has handed down a decision af-
frTning the validity of his will and that
of his mother. Mrs Miriam A Os-
born.
The wills were contested by Mrs. Lei
Ia P. Henriques. Mrs. Mary A Mason
and Henrietta Olive Trowbridge, the
surviving sisters Of Mrs. Osborn. She
left her entire property in trust to her
son Howell, but with the right to leave
only part of it by will. The rest con-
tinued in trust for charities and in be-
quests after his death.
1t was believed at one time that
Howell Osborn and Miss Templeton
were married. That he was willing to
marry her is known, but he would have
lost his income, as well as forfeiting all
interests in his mothers estate had he
done so.
In this dilemma Miss Templeton freed
him from his promise. In his will he
left her $100, 600, all that he could leave
her, and she will now get it. At pres
ent she is in Paris.

WAR 0R pEACE.

Shall it be peace or war? The nation waits with suspense again for the de- nouement which now may be expected on Monday. Meanwhile the prepara- tions for grim-visaged war go on apace. Madrid and Havana are stirred and tumultuous, and the Madrid jour- nals cry for war and demand no com promise. The tension between the two countries makes war not unlikely at any moment. With the Americans in Cuba safely away, one opportunity for an outburst that would surely lead to active hostilities will be removed. There are many who cry "On to Rich mond!" to-day, but the sober judg- ment of the nation says, trust the President. President Mckinley is be- set on many sides, but nobly stands for avoidance of war, if this may be, con- sistent with national honor. Over lures are thought to be pending which may result in our obtaining peace upon our own terms, without resort to arms. Congress and the nation can wait a day or two more. All the time spent in putting the nation in shape for war, if war must come, has been well spent. A few days more will tell the story.

FORLORN CHINA.

Poor China, poor Ii Hung Chang. The big unwieldy empire of the Celes- tials has fallen upon evil days The days of old when barbarian hosts as- sailed it and overran it were evil days indeed in Chinese annals, but to-day, without the use of weapons of war and simply because of the vast nations i'm becility, it loses its big seaports and harbors one by one to foreign aggres- sors, and Is shorn first by one and then by another of the great European powers of the seaport keys to the em- pire. In the scrabble to pick China to pieces, England, after first discounte- nancing such work, falls in with the rest in appropriating what she can in order not to "get left,' and to protect British interests. Russia, France and England all take a hand in the game, and Japan, alert, watchful and deeply concerned, and having also as great need of Chinese seaport as the rest, is not lying wholly idle in the matter. Poor Ii Hung Chang. His grand tour of the great nations of the world was well timed, for the head of this astute, able and progressive statesman and enlightened ruler is now in peril. He came when his fame as ruler was at it's zenith. He has done much for his land but no one man could lift it out of the rut of imbecility in which it has lain for ages, and he sees the glory of the empire fading and it's dismember- ment going on. But perhaps China ing her ports opened to the world of trade and commerce, and in her closer contact with the progressive nations and outside world generally. As to Japan, her mutterings of disapproba- ton over England's appropriation and annexation of Wei-Hai- to the British empire are all fruitless, in view of Englands superiority in battleships, but she bides her time and waits. Meanwhile England, having decided wisely, in this scramble for the pieces of the Chinese empire, to grab one of them instead of fighting to keep off the other nations, has also granted ac- cess to the inland waters of her Chi nese acquisition, and announced that these waters shall be open to the ships of other nations, and has opened three new treaty ports; all of which is agree 1 able news to the United States, and means, in the near future, increased business with China for American ships.

Spring, gentle spring, etherial mild tion can this weather be called spring. Lusty old March seems to have slept during his term of office and to have awakened to carry out his accustomed program in April and he moreover seems determined to atone for his om- ission or negligence. He started in with vigorous young blizzard and has supplemented it with bowling winds and wintry blasts in profusion and the discarded winter overcoat is resumed, the coal trade gets a new start and the sale of spring apparel languishes, the buying of Easter bonnets, alone ex- cepted. Meanwhile the energetic de- mand for gardening tools, seeds and flower beds has received a vigorous setback. The buds on the trees which had started out in April as if summer were at the door are wearing a chilled forlorn and dinmed aspect and the once almost certain hamburger of spring, the spinning of tops and the marble playing of young America have been deferred to 9 more convenient season. Meanwhile, too, the bicyclist regards with eyes dismayed the mud covered country roads and sloppy city thoroughfares and houses his wheel , and takes his daily constitutional on foot. Now ard then an eager young ster essays to make a short journey in town by wheel, but the trip is a slow and painful process, except on the asphalt, and is soon abandoned. No more disgusted New Haven people have been seen lately than a group who ] returned this week from a southern

too pretty to wear. Great muslin hats all frills and crispness, ran with ribbon, big with rosettes and finished with great sash strings of muslin are going to be worn by big sister, and even by mamma this summer, to judge by the samples coming in.
 For her small hat, mamma may go in for bright colors, even though her daughters be grown-ups. Here is bonnet hat was described by its design CT as being for a middle aged matron, yet it was of turquoise blue straw, the front of its brim ornamented with large bow of turquoise blue velvet that held pair of upright white wings. At either side were large punches of fluffy scarlet roses. Of course, if a. large hat were carried out on this color scheme, it would be too showy for middle age, but in homeopathic doses bright shades are all right. Lovely affairs of lace made on hat frames in sailor shape, are trimmed with punches of flowers, vio- lets especially, film of lace having the effect of pushed back veil, giving the final touch. The yelling of bloom is characteristic of this seasons hat fash ions.
 Just the sensation that she wanted to create was brought about by the stylish young woman who appeared with her pompadour f1attened to her forehead just at the temples by a fiilet band of gold ribbon bound about the brows. A jewel caught in the fillet gleamed just above the eyes in the center of the fore head. Below the fillet at the sides of the forehead, the hair was pulled out very loose. The effect was extremely becoming, so much so that some hate ful women whispered that she had bound her garter about her forehead at the last moment to keep her hat from slipping.
