today filed his answer to the caveat of
William j. BealI, nephew of the de-
ceased, recorded some time ago In the
office of the Register of Wills for the
District of Columbia. He denies the al
legations of the caveator and says that
according to his best knowledge the pa
per bearing date of April s, 1898, purport-
ing to be the last will and testament of
Robert Beall, and recorded in the office
of the Register of Wills as such, is in
fact, the last will of the deceased, tes-
tator and is executed in proper form of
law He also declares that at the time
of the filing of the said will the testator,

ing mind, and capable of executing a

used in having the deceased execute his
| will and to name Mary p. Brown as his
| sole legatee.
He also says that he is unable either t
affirm or deny the degree of Relationship
| between the testator and caveator. II
conclusion he prays that issues will b'
| framed and the validity of the alleged will
tested and decided by jury.
| Charles S. Wilson, who, at the reques
of the legatee, Mary p. Brown, was ap
| pointed her guardian ad litem. in answer
saws he cannot either affirm or deny tn
| claim of the caveator as to his relation
| ship to the deceased, Robert Beall.

One of the bucket shop keepers said
two days ago: If a man will sell Sugar

make thirty points in a few days"
Since that time Sugar has gone
up and Tobacco has gonevplqSyxvx
up and Tobacco down. There is,
of course, no assurance that they
will continue in this way, but the
futility of following the advice of the
bucketshop man was aptly illustrated by
the remark, and what Immediately fol-
lowed. Tobacco was weak today, and
lost in the morning hours a considerable
part of the gain made during the recent
rally. The Street has almost ceased to
