Judge Williams VIII.

The will of the late Henry w. Will
liams, of Wellsboro, has been filed for
probate. No inventory of the property
has yet been filed, but Judge Williams,
while not rich man, was comfortably
well off He had a life insurance of a
few thousand dollars only. By the
terms of the will his wife and daughter
are made executors. After the estate is
settled they become trustees of the
estate; the net increase of the trust is to
be paid to the widow and children. The
trust is to terminate on the death of his
wife and daughter. On the death of the
wife, $4,000 is bequeathed to the
Presbyterian church of Wellsboro, the
income of which is to be used for the
deserving poor of the congregation,
and if his children should die without
heirs, the balance of his estate is to go
to the Board of American Home Mis-
sions of Presbyterian church. Judge
Williams was not a speculator but an
economizer. He saved from his salary,
and his estate represents his savings.
He gave with a liberal hand or his
estate would be much larger than it is
now. The Presbyterian church was
his special pride and care and he has
handsomely remembered it.-Wells-
boro Advocate.

When rIost Girls Marry.

For the comfort of the American
women of marriageable age it may be
stated that their prospects are much
better than women in the older coun-
tries. According to an authoritative
statistician there are in the United
States, as whole, 965 women to
every 1000 men, while in all Europe
there 1919 women to every 1000 men.
The proportion in the different Euro
pean States is, however, variable. A
woman's prospect of marriage is dis
tinctly affected by age. The statistics
of all countries show that the great
majority of women marry between the
ages of twenty and thirty. Before
reaching twenty a woman has, of
course, a chance of matrimOny, but the
objections raised by parents or friends
to marriage at tender age frequently
outweigh the desire of the young
woman to acquire a husband, and lead
her to defer the wedding day. All the
statistics that have been gathered in
the United States bear out the state
ment that a WOman's best chance to
marry is at the age of twenty-five, that
over six-tenths of the marriages take
place between twenty and thirty, and
consequently that a woman's chance
increases up to twenty-five, and stead
lily decreases after that age, until it
reaches the vanishing point somewhere
about sixty.-Professor d. r McAnally

Sharon Citizens Indignant.

SHARON, Pa, Feb. 26.-Along with
the general grief for the death of
former State Treasurer Haywood, there
is to-day feeling of intense indigna-
ton. 1t is just becoming matter of
common knowledge that no longer ago
than last week the people behind the
prosecution in the cases in which he
was involved, had detective in
Sharon, prowling around the house in
which he lay dying, in search of any
thing on which to found charge that
his illness was a sham to avoid appear
ing in court.
The people of this community,
among whom Mr.. Haywood had lived
all his life, have properly tathomed
the motives which inspired the suits
against him and the Quays. But the
malignity which sends its agent prowl-
ing like an impatient jackal around
the bed of a dying man, interviewing
his nearest attendants, and counting
the last beats of his pulse in the hope
of nosing out something on which to
score point in a suit at law, has been
unknown in this community hereto
fore. 1t is so well-known now that if
the detective were here he would go
out of town with coat of tar and
feathers

not to do so.

way, and, stays out if he doesn't.
There are thousands of ways of get

Do whatever you will, if you do not
put your digestion in good order, and
make your blood rich and pure, you
will not get we'll. Rich, pure blood is
the only thing that can bring perfect
health. Constipation is disease Of the
blood A large part of all diseases are
traceable directly to impurities in the
blood, and can be cured by eliminating
them with DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. The first thing it does is to
put the whole digestive system into
perfect order It stimulates the ap-
petite, excites a copious secretion of
the digestive fluids and promotes as
similation. 1t searches out disease
germs wherever they may be, kills
them and forces them out of the sys-
tenn. The Golden Medical Discovery
has been used with unvarying success
for over 80 years.
