ONE of the most remarkable wills
ever filed in the courts of Pennsyl-
vania came up before Judge Arch
bald while in Towandn, presiding
over the courts of Bradford county.
last week, and is now in his hands
for disposal, The will is that of
George T. Wilcox, late of Franklin
township, Bradford county, and
among its provisions are that each of
his male grandchildren shall receive
1000 provided they support the
Democratic administration; and to
each granddaughter $500 apiece in
case they remain single or marry
Democrats. The auditor decided that
the conditions attached by Wilcox to
these legaoies should be declared
void, as temptation or bribe for the
advocacy of Il particular political
creed, contrary to the genius of our
government and institutions. This
is one OF the questions that Judge
Archibald will have to dispose of.

He appealed to the courts, and was re-

was a veteran of the civil war, it was
illegal to remove him without hear

He generally breaks his silence by find ing fault with the witness and MT. Her rin lends his protection. This occurs once a day and relieves the monotony of things.

After an absence of several years, 'The Romany Rye has made it's reappearance at Morosco'S Grand Opera-house The cast is strong, and for the first night the members held to their parts with remark able smoothness. James M Brophy. as the Romany Rye, performed his part well. and won the applause of the audience The leading lady was Miss Maud Edna Hall, in the character of Gertie Heckett which she sustained with ease and tact Julia Blanc played a double part Miss Adrien and that of Mother Shlpton. and in the latter more vicious old hag could not be found in seven counties. She came The audience was not aware how near Its evenings amusement came to being spoiled. Landers Stevens took the part of Philip RoySton, the gentleman villain and so hard did he work to fulfill this char acter that at the end of the third act he fell in faint from heart trouble induced by overexertion. It was with difficulty that he was revived sufficiently to go on when the curtain went up again. No one observed that there was anything wrong but the effort to carry out the character during the most trying scenes at the con clusion was a terrible strain upon him. but he succeeded.
 The scenery is all new, and several splendid effects were brought out. The scene of the gypsy camp is a living pie ture. The moonlight scene on the Thames with London in the distance, Is equally meritorious. Probably the most striking scene is that of the shipwreck in which the entire space of the big stage is utIl- iZed. It Is grand and well worth seeing as Is the entire production.

NEW NATIONAL GUARD.
Governor Budd States Some Facts About Its Proposed
 Reorganization.

Governor Budd has been devoting much attention to the proposed reorganization of the National Guard, and his plans are about completed. He announced yester- day afternoon that the new guard would constitute half the number of companies of the former guard and half the number of each company. This would be equiv alent to quarter the number composing the guard before the war.
 'As to the officers for these new com panies,' said he, "I have not decided, but l will say that the officers of the com panies that were mustered out by me on the former reorganization will be eligible for positions in the new guard, as they are only regarded as being temporarily on the retired liSt.'
 How about the guardsmen who may return from Manila after the war is over?" was asked.
 Well, 75 per cent of them will be taken back into the ranks if they desire, and there will be some proper arrangements made as to officers returning from the Philippines. The distribution of the briGades will be determined upon the return of General Dickinson who is in the south now, obtaining data upon which to base the brigade boundary lines. I can say, however, that San Francisco will have six companies, and the remainder will be properly distributed throughout the State"

At the AlcaZap.

Seldom, if ever, has such wildly en- thusiastic audience assembled within the walls of the Alcazar as the one last night. Lewis Morrison. during his mag nificent impersonation of hls Satanic Ma jesty in Goethes masterpiece of Faust" met not with one ovation but a series of them, and at the close of each act he was several times called before tho curtain. His conception of the part has lost none of its vilirity or brilliancy, but If such thing were possible time has improved it. Florence Roberts was an ideal Marguerite and shared with her husband the honors of the evening" At the close of the second act she was pre- sented with a beautiful bouquet of mar guerites. In the death scene she was simply superb. Frank Denithorne was disappointing as Faust. He seemed all through to be conscious of the fact that he was overweighted in the part which marred his performance. In the garden scene he was too tragic for a lover, ana in other scenes he was lacking In natur- alness. He has certain mannerisms that he should study to get rid of. George Foster Platt gave a clever interpretation of Valentine. and Mrs. r. NJ. Bates was in her element as Martha. The other parts were well sustained. The piece is well mounted

At the Orpheunl.

One of the very best all-round bills ever seen at the Orpheum Is on this week.
 There is more legitimate comedy than has been seen in that house on any bill be- fore. The one-act farce by Bert Coot and Julie Kingsley and their support is clever comedy conceit. cleverly acted, well staged and bubbling over with fun and humor. Bert Coot as the young man whose chief characteristic is an aching void where his brains ought to be, had part which he has ever made success of. He seems to catch the id1osyncrasles of the man who is always laughing when he ought to mourn, and who cries when he ought to be mrthful and he presents them without overdoing. Miss Kingsley as the woman who wants to win back her estranged husband, and, failing, has It out on MT. Timid." clearly demonstrated her schooling in the legitimate. She makes the most of even small things, when lR other hands would fall flat. Jules Kusel and Kate Deal furnish good support to the two stars, the work Of MT husel pe- ing particularly acceptable. To miss Jos eph Hart and Carrie de Mar Is to miss one of the best acts of its kind the Orpheum has ever presented. There Is nothng boisterous about their work-just good, clean-cut comedy and songs that interest and amuse. Of their songs, duet, in which they express the different ways va rious nationalities have of saying Good. by and Good night" was the best of their character hits, while MT. Hart s Jew song is worth the price of admis- sion to hear. The pair make one of the best vaudeville teams that has been seen here, and they scored ht from start to finish. Fleurette is dainty little piece of femininity, who can even make toe dancing appear artistic, and her back bending is done with grace that In no wise suggests the contortionist. Fake and Semon have a new act that was a hit Mrs Alice Shaw and daughters are attractive. Others retained from last week are: Anna Caldwell Charles Wayne and Jones, Grant and Jones.

FIRED A BULLET
 INTO HIS BRAIN
SUICIDE | OF 4
 NEBRASKA YOUNG MAN.
George W. o'Brien Wanted to Die Rather Than Go On Suffering From Sciatica, Which Had
 Crippled Him.

George w. O'Bren, a young man from Fremont, Nebr., attempted to commit suicide yesterday afternoon in his room 307 Golden Gate avenue. He fired a shot at his head, and the bullet entered the left eye, destroying 1t, and is supposed to have lodged in his brain.
 O'Bren was taken to the Receiving Hos pital in the patrol-wagon. and pr. Fitz- gibbon probed for the bullet, but could not definitely locate it. The chances of his recovery are doubtful.
 A dispatch was at once sent to his father, Samuel O'Brien, who is a wealthy farmer in Fremont, notifying him of his sons condition and asking for instruc- uons.
 O'Brien Is 2S years of age and a boiler maker, but he has been a sufferer for years from sciatica which prevented him from working. About six months ago his father gave him $2o0. and he came here in the hope that the change of climate would be beneficial to him, but he got worse, which made him Respondent While in bed yesterday afternoon he fired the shot that may cause his death. The owner of the house ran for a doctor, and while he was away O'Brien attempted to fire a second shot.
 He did not deny that he intended to commit suicide, but said it came sooner than he expected. He thought the re- volver was not loaded, and was practicing as to where to shoot himself when 1t went off.
