GIGANTIC LEGAL CONTEST.
Chicago Parties Claim Lien on Valuable New
York Real Estate.

Chicago May 11.-An association of
heirs, with George w. Mills, manager
for the United States Flour Milling
Company, as president, has been
formed in Chicago to lay claim to an
estate consisting of so acres of proper
ty in the heart of New York and
Brooklyn. valued at $2OO,OO0O00. This
estate belonged to Alexander Mont
gomery, a noted tory who fled from
New York when Gen. Howe evacuated
with the British forces to preserve his
interests.
Montgomery leased his entire hold
ings for SO years, and since then, be-
yond a few spasmodic efforts, no at
tempt has been made to dislodge the
present owners of the property. Mr..
Mills has consulted attorneys in New
York as to the statute of limitation, and
has received the opinion that the heirs
still have twenty years of grace be-
fore their lien upon the estate expires,
The heirs are said to number over
$50, scattered throughout Canada and
the United States.

Labor Conditions in Buffalo Become Worse In
stead Of Better.

Buffalo, N. Y, May 1.-THE strike
among members Of the Freight Hand
lers' Union is gradually assuming Sc
rious aspect. There are about 1000 Of
these men pledged not to work for any
contractor, and many of these are now
on strike. Originally a few of them
went out in sympathy with the grain
shovellers, and now it is believed that
in case the scoopers gain their point
they win still remain out until their
own differences have been satisfactory
ly settled.
Several members Of transportation
lines said today that if the contractors
did not quickly demonstrate their abil-
ity to do the work Of loading and un-
loading freight boats, they would be
compelled to devise other means of re-
lieving the congestion of traffic at this
port. At the Lehigh Valley docks the
company called in yard men and other
employees to take the places of the
strikers.

ton of profitable farming. After years pubic fe Mr.
Wilson gives his belief farmer is not to find
relief for his troubles in legislation but only by entering
the matter most practically points out that the
German agrarans by demanding governmental action have
only caused the creation measures which have
proved uniform the situation in the United
States: Mr.. Wilson writes:
The intelligent farmer is beginning understand that
the revolution brought about in our systems of
trade Of transportation, Of communication markets
by modern progress has passed beyond the control and
remedial of legislation and that he must depend more
upon his ability and resourcefuness in adapting his
ideas and methods things than on acts Of
congress or governmental assistance; and first of ALL that

As the Word Sees.

About twenty years ago there lived a
big, brawny. blithesome young fellow IN
one Of the small towns which adjoin St
Louis. He was merry Of ulien, witty OF
speech, and a great favorite with every
body, young and old. No husking bee
or apple pairing was deemed success II
he did not appear. More than one village
belle, by indications Of the eye II not
of the tongue. had given him 10 under
stand that she would have no serious
objections to joining her lot in life with
his own.
But the young man was Size TO every
body, perhaps a slight prejudice IN the
favor of inconspicuous and plain-looking
young women. who were generally neg
lected. He showed not the slightest symp-
toms of falling in love, however His big,
kind heart just took in all the 1orlorn
ones. He gave them the best time that
he could.
One fall there came TO this little town
a small, manufactured girl, whom the
School Trustees had engaged 10 teach in
a white painted country schoolhouse about
three miles from the village. She was the
daughter Of a minister and had had abso-
lutely no experience in school teaching
They took her 10 board at the young
mans home. She was homesick and for
lorn when she came aid discouraged at
trying TO make the big boys behave after
she began her labors.

SHOULD HAVE HAD WARNING
Leader Davis Thinks Police
men Were Dismissed
Too Hastily.

Leader Robert Davis has not thus far
shown an inclination to talk much about
the recent big shake up in the Police De-
partment and the dismissal by the new
Democratic Board of Patrolmen Terrence
Reilly, James Connors, John ]. Enwright
and Thomas Pier, on charges of intoxi-
cation.
Pressed for his opinion this morning, he
admitted that he did not think that the
shake up was altogether good for the
discipline of the force, and he thought
that the four dismissed men had
been dealt with too harshly. While
no one cared to stand for drunk
enness, in his opinion the men should
have been given some warning by the
new Board AS to the transfers of Cap
tains, Sergeants and Detectives, Mr.. Davis
siad he believed the Commissioners had
been misinformed-that the department
was in good shape, SO far as the heads
of the precincts We're concerned before
the transfers were made.
Mr.. Davis further said that he had had
nothing to do with the police department
for seven years and couldn't say that he
desired TO have
