concert was over or else they were So
well pleased that they did not want to

creditable work quintet 1.-TWO trum-

WILL NOT CONTEST.
TruesdaIe viii is to Stand as Allowed
BY Judge Forbes,

1t is probable that the Margaret Tru-
esdale will case will not be carried to
the supreme court. The late Margaret
Truesdale lived in Northbridge, and
when she died recently she left an es-
tate valued at about $S00O This was
bequeathed entirely to a niece in North
bridge, who had lived in Northbridge
with Mrs. Truesdale. A nephew, in
Newport, r. l., contested the will on
the ground that his aunt was not of
sound and disposing mind, and that I'M
due influence had been exercised by the
niece.
A few days ago notice was filed in
the probate court of intention to appeal
from the decision of Judge Forbes al
lowing the will, and today the time for
filing the appeal expires.
Counsel interested in the case were
seen yesterday and said that the case
would undoubtedly be allowed to rest
and no further proceedings prosecuted

Those students of politics who all
ways find something to worry about,
are now concerned lest Governor Roose-
welt should find his hands tied by a
combine between the Plat and Croker
machines. With timid and half
hearted reformer in Roosevelt's place,
there might be considerable ground for
this fear, but the governor elect has
plenty of force and determination, and
it is safe to assume that he will run
his own administration. Croker will
have nothing to do with it. Plat will
be consulted but Roosevelt will never
allow himself to be placed in any po-
sition where he must obey the boss.
He is too independent for that.

The severity of the blow dealt to free
silver in the last election is not to be
measured by the republican majority
of fourteen in the United States senate,
nor by the combined sound money vote
of both parties in that body, nor yet
by the fact that both house ana senate
are republican and sound money bod
les. More significant than any one of
these conditions is the fact that the
senate will. in all human probability,
continue to be republican and favor
able to sound money for six years to
