the prison a few days afterward and
entered upon the horsestealing busi-
ness with a vim that terrorized the
horse-owners of that section. He
would be arrested. sentenced % prison,
released and then he would again take
up his unlawful calling. During the
civil war the old man did a paying
business. He travelled over the state,
but his work was done principally in
western Pennsylvania. He would steal
horses and sell them readily at good
prices to purchasers for the United
States army. Ohio. West Virginia and
Maryland were drawn on heavily. He
says that ever since he stole the first
animal he has never been able to re-
sist taking a good horse when the
opportunity was presented For the
past few years the old man has at
tempted to live an upright life. A few
days ago he had occasion to go to
Indiana county, and, according to his
story, he was passing the farm Of John
Wilson. A fine morse was grazing on
the hillside and the impulse to steal
again mastered him. That night the
fine horse was missing. as was the old
man. Constable Mufly of Bell town
ship followed the trail and the other
evening Zimmerman and the horse
were overtaken at Ohiopyle. The pris-
oner was taken to the Uniontown Jail
and later was brought here Zimmer-
man wants it known that he never
stole anything save horses, and that
he never tlched an animal from
widow, nor from man who was less
able to lose the price of the horse
than he.

starve on $12,500,000. This will easily
support him until he can get some
thing to do. Alfred Gwynne is the
second son of Cornelius. ST.. He gradu-
ated from Yale college in June last.
Speaking of him one of the most init
mate friends of the family says: AL
fred Gwynne never gave his father one
single moment of serious uneaSineSS.
He has been an average boy Of the
best sort Throughout his college ca
reer at Yale he was universally popu-
lar He spent money freely, but he
was never ostentatious. He was not
trained like Cornelius, Jr, to assume
the responsibility of managing the
estate. Very likely Mr. Vanderbilt re-
Trained purposely from imposing this
burden upon his light-hearted son
whose spirits seemed at variance with
business restraints, while those of Cor
nelius, Jr., seemed to invite them. AL
fred Gwynne is thoroughly democratic.
In personal appearance he is TALL dark
and slender. He has a graceful easy
manner and charming brown eyes, He
likes to enjoy himself. Those who
know him say that he would much
rather that his brother, to whom he is
very devoted, should receive the great
est part of the millions, with the re-
sponsibility they entail. But there is
no telling how responsibility may de-
velop him. There is wonderful stuff
in the Vanderbilts.
Besides the original will there are
said to be two copies. One is in the
hands of Mrs. Vanderbilt and the 9TH
er Cornelius Vanderbilt has. Henry B.
Anderson, the lawyer, has the original.
The war revenue tax on the estate will
be about $2,0O0,000. All estate above
$1,0O0,000 must pay a revenue of 2h
per cent. Comptroller Coler of New
York will collect the state inheritance
tax, which amounts to Sl,000.000. This
is the largest tax ever paid by any
estate. The surrogate will appoint an
appraiser, as in the case of Jay Gould's
fortune. There can be no division of
the estate until the taxes are paid.

MAN WHO DEFENDED CUITEAU,
MOrose. Unapproachabie Hermit, Liv-
ing Alone in IA Secluded Spot.


From the Emporia Gazette: A party
of Indiana fishermen, just returned
from a trip among the remote and I'M
freQuented lakes of northern Indiana,
ran across a little cabin occupied by
Attorney Scoyill, the lawyer who de-
Tended G. j. Guiteau in his trial for the
assassination of President Garfield
The humble cottage iii which ScOVll
was found is situated near the banks
of Mud lake. where he lives the life of
the most rigid reclllse, neither seeing
nor being seen. His simple wants are
supplied by the merchants of the near
est town. He puts in his time, nobody
knows how, as his unkempt and un-
cOuth figure is seldom seen outside the
walks of the little low cottage. half
hidden by the growth of twining vines
and underbrush. From an able, affable
and influential barrister, Scovill has
grown into taciturn, morose, unap-
proachable hermit, desiring no COM
munication with the world in which he
was such a conspicuous figure as only
counsel for his relative eighteen years
ago Scovill feels that he is still
stunned and despised by everybody for
his part in trying to save the neck Of
Guiteau on the ground of hereditary
insanity, though he contends that he
did nothing more than his duty. The
loss of his wife and other misfortunes
that seemed to pursue him with re"
lentless hand added to his melancholy
and con nlirmed him in his determina-
tiOn to abandon the world and spend
the remainder of his days in seclusion.
For several years Scoviu has led the
life of a hermit, spending his time at
the most secluded spots he could find.
He still contends that Guteau was
mentally irresponsible for his act in
killing the president, and points to the
record of the family, a number of
whom have both before and since the
tragedy been confined in madhouses.

4 Princes Education.

The present IDOL of the British pub
lie is Prince Edward of York, eldest
son of the duke Of York, grandson of
the prince OF Wales, great-grandson of
Queen Victoria, and heir in the direct
line of the crown Of Great Britain.
Prince Edward, having been born on
June %, 1894, is now well into his sixth
year, and regards himself as quite a
big boy. His brother Albert is a year
younger, and the two princes have had,
perhaps, their share, but no more, of
brotherly scraps" The duke Of York
is said not to have interfered with their
small waIs, saying to "let them fight
it out will make them better men,"
But he has interfered successfully with
another weakness Of Prince Edward.
1t is customary for the royal children,
in meeting the queen, to kiss her hand
and not her cheek; but Prince Edward
did not like to do this, and objected

The Roadster.

An authority on horses thus de-
scribes the roadster:
A typical roadster should stand FROM
fifteen to sixteen hands high, weigh
close about LOO pounds, be sound and.
straight in every way, have good,'
solid color. level head, bold and reso--
lutte. capable and willing to road
twelve miles an hour or 100 miles in.
ten hours, and when put upon his
speed will show 2:3O gait or there
abouts. He should not only be ables
but willing to do whatever is asked OF
him, and this without resort to spur,
boot or whip. Such an animal, NOV
Ing along without padding or strad-
ding, is in great demand, provided hes
has been properly educated and
abounds in nervous energy. Form
size, color, symmetry and substance
are essentials in the makeup OF typ
ical roadster, but they do not always
insure the road horse. To these must
be added a certain individuality that
Is always the result of intelligent
breeding. 1t manifests itself in what
we term nervous energy, the inherited
ability to get up and get there. 1t is~
true that no class of horses are so
difficult to breed up to high standard
Of excellence as the roadster. We can
not produce him from animals that
have only individual merit to recon-
mend them. They must be descend
ants of families noted for their extraor--
binary qualifications along this line
To breed the draft horse. size and
soundness are the main points to be
taken into consideration; in breeding
the race horse everything is sacrificed
for speed; but in producing the road
ster we must look we'll to every point
of excellence that is to be found in the
makeup Of all other classes of good
horses

Keeping Squashes In Winter.

From Farmers Review: 1t is
common complaint Of people who grow
squashes for winter consumption that
the fruits will not keep for any length
of time after removal from the field to
the vegetable cellar Sometimes this
trouble may be in the choice of varie-
ties, but this seems to be seldom the
case, since even the old reliable Hub
bard is complained of as much as the
rest. Generally the fault rests with
the grower, who, busy with other de-
tails, allows his hardy" vegetables to
lie in the field long after they should
be in the cellar; grumbling, when he
does remove them, because these un-
wieldy things must be left until it's
most too cold to work outdoors"
From our experience and observation
we think it safe to say that a frost
that will kill a melon, pumpkin or
squash vine will also have some harm
full effect upon the fruit it bears, par
ucularly if the squashes or melons or
pumpkins are not fully ripe. At any
rate we find that these fruits when re-
moved from the vine to the cellar be-
fore a killing frost has touched
them will keep better than those al
lowed to remain after the plants have
been killed. In many cases imma ture
specimens, if not too young, and if
gathered before the frost, will keep
better than ripe ones gathered after
ward.
We have found that gathering all the
fruits at one time and sorting them
according to their stage of ripeness is
the best plan. The fully ripe ones are
stored at once; the immature ones laid
together in a sunny place where they
can be covered at night and exposed
during the day. They are allowed to
remain here until the approach of
severe weather, when they are taken
to the cellar. Here we put them in
the warmest place, provided it be dry,
