The Democratic town tickets without
exception are taking important part In
the campaign. Unlike the Republican
town tickets, they are strong and by
their strength add rather than draw
from the municipal ticket. In the West
Town Peter KiOlbassa Is the leading
figure in the campaign. He Is candi-
date for Supervisor, and makes short
hut effective speeches. In the North
Town James Gray for Assessor and
Vincent Perkins for Supervisor make
a team that adds great strength to the
ticket ana gives the campaign two eX-
cellcnt speakers. In the South Town
Henry Stuckart for Assessor and
Thomas Shannon are the popular candl-
dates, and are making lively fight.

Alderman Duddlcston in the Eleventh
Ward: Charles Werno. pronounced well

and Robert X. Sloan, of whom the
same is said in the Sixth Ward. There
are special reasons why Alderman Dud-
dleston should he elected from the Elev-
enth. He Is the hope and protest of
every respectable element In the ward
against the attempt of william ID. Kent
to break into the City Council again.
When Kent resigned from the Com
missionership of Public Works II was
supposed that public life had seen the
last Of him. But this spring. after long
balloting. he secured a disputed nomi-
nation from his party convention. Hon.
George DuddlestOn has proven the best
Alderman ever elected by Eleventh
Ward voters. and he Is In every respect
as official and citizen to be preferred to
Kent.

NO PROOF or UNDUE INFLUENCE.
THE WILL OF MRS. ANNA SUTHERLAND AD-
MITTED TO PROBATE.

MITTED TO PROBATE.
The will Of Mrs. Anna Sutherland yesterday
admitted to probate by Surrogate Varnum. The
will which was executed on April 3, 1897 was Bit
tery contested by Mrs. Hagan. the daughter OF
the testatrix, on the customary grounds, but on
the trial serious attempt was made to deny the
proper factum OF the WILL Mrs. Hagan relying on
claims OF testamentary incapacity and undue in
nuence Her main allegations were that her moth
er through excessive indulgence In alcoholic bev-
erages and by reason Of diseases resulting there
from was in such n state OF mind and body as to
be Incapable OF making a will. and especially sus-
ceptibc to undue influence. which Mrs. Hagan al
legged was successfully exercised.
Mrs. Sutherland first married to a Mr.. KIM
ball when she was only eighteen years old and
there was one daughter born OF the marriage. When
this child was two or three years old Kimball Sc
cured divorce from his wife, and the child was
taken away from her mother and brought up by
her fathers relatives.
The girl never afterward lived with her mother.
nor had anything to do with her during her life,
and Mrs Sutherland apparently evinced no affection
for her she the recipient OF any flial
affection from her daughter Once when the girl
called AT her mothers house admission was re-
fused by her mothers express orders.
Mrs. Sutherland. after her divorce from Kimball.
lived with her parents for about twenty years and
then was married to Sutherland. and lived hap
pily with him until MS Oeatn, III 1873 a Will, eN-
ecuted in 1889 left all her property TO Sutherland.
and a subsequent Will, made by her June II,
1893 tust after his death. left 10 Mrs. Hagan. the
contestant 5000 the balance OF her estate being
bequeathed TO children and re.atves OF her second
husband. TO her .ttorney and 10 other strangers

Kate Fitzgerald and Mary Boyle. servants In her
employ 5000 and 900 respectively. The residue
was given to the respective legatees named to be
divided among them In certain proportions.
The Surrogate says that tho provision made In
this will for Mrs. Hagan did not vary much from
that made for her In the will OF 1888. although the
evidence showed that the value Of her estate had
been largely diminished in the mean time.
Surrogate Varnum says that there is no proof
OF undue influence the part OF Sidney Ward. one
of the legntees, by the two servants who re-
ceived legaces He then deals with the question
as 10 a certain agreement entered into by Mrs
sutherland in order to raise money upon her prop
erty and says there Is nothing TO suggest any fraud
or unfQrness undua influence.

SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF WILLIAM
PHILLIPS HALL AND HIS WORK.

SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF WILLIAM
PHILLIPS HALL AND HIS WORK.
The practicabIity Of mixing business and politics
has been a bone of contention between certain
prominent politicians of late. The arguments made
by both sides have been exhaustive but non-concu-
slve. The matter Of mixing business and religion.
however, is another subject. The whom this
article is written about is living refutation Of
the theory that some people seem to hold that n
who carries his strong religious ideas into
practical business will be handicapped thereby.
William Phillips Hall is man who has so thor
oughly made his way in both business and re-
ligious work that he has earned the title Of "the
business man evangelist" He is sometimes called
the millionaire evangelist. but he declares this TO
be a mistake. while ! have been blessed with the
good things Of this world far beyond my deserts.

Mr.. Hall is the president OF the Hall Signal Com
pany. This Is of the most influential and
largest railway supply companies in this country.
1t has the Board Of Directors some of the keen
est and most sagacous business men of the city.
and the fact that Mr.. Hall is retained president
OF the corporation, although only thirty-hve years
of age shows that he Is practical business man.

best known religious talker IN the East. lie has

much success, and he is president Of that
association, which has been made a permanent

churches. He gives all the time he can spare TO
that labor. and says he feels amply compensate ed
with the satisfaction he gets out or knowing that
he has tried 10 do good.
