When Frederick Douglass died he left
will giving his wife Helen his house and
fifteen acres of land at Anacistia, a
suburb of Washington, $4,000 in bonds,
and the same amount in cash. Mr.. Doug
lass drew his own WILL, and 1t was duly
authenticated by two witnesses The
District of Columbia is still doing bust
ness under the old Maryland law, and
this requires three witnesses to will
which makes a. transfer of real estate.
Fer that reason Mrs. Douglass has lost
entirely the, property, valued at. 100000,
except so far as her life interest is con-
cerned. The property therefore gees to
the daughter and three sons by the first
WIFE
Besides this misfortune to the widow,
it appears that while Mr.. Douglass had
$4,000 In bonds when he made the will,
the bonds We're sold before he died. The
courts of the district held that the be-
quest was. specific, and that the widow
could not. force the estate to buy new
bonds to make good the bequest. The
case will soon come up before the SUI
preme court, and aside from the legal
pleading there is story to the effect
that the widows claim was prejudiced
lin the local court because she was the
white wife of an Afro American. and
the Judges therefore were not inclined 70
stretch the law any in her behalf.

After the fall Of Omdurman a romance
of much interest and pathos was woven
around Sister Theresa, the nun who mar
ried to save her companions from mas
sacre. Following the nuptiaEs came the
most dramatic part of the story, telling
how, after the ex-abbess got to Egyptian
territory, she bolted from her dusky hus-
tunately, or otherwise, this pious and SEN
sational incident has been quite spoiled
by the humdrum facts of history. Sister
Theresa, as she was, or Mrs. Caracolom-

her husband in Cairo, where their mar
riage has been ''regularized" by the &C.
