SINCLAIR'S ESTATE
CLAIMED BY THE LAW

West Chester, Aug. "a caveat
was filed in the office of Register Of
Willis Granville Prizer yesterday di-
recting that the register issue no let
ters in the estate of Robert Sinclair
who was shot and killed by his wife at
Duffryn Mawr last Saturday evening
The caveat was filed at the direction
of Auditor General L. G. McCauley,
This state official is of the opinion
that the estate is one subject to the
law governing escheated property. There
appears to be reasons to lead to the
belief that Mr.. Sinclair could leave no
legal heirs, hence pending investiga-
tions along this line no letters will
be issued to the sister Mrs. Hugh
Mullin, Of Columbia, who has made
herself known and will come to West
Chester to press claims to the bro
TIERS property.
Mrs. J. Bellanger Cox, who was Rob
ert Sinclair's Caretaker in his youth
says his early life was spent In the
Church Home for Children. and until
sufficient proof Of his parentage can
be produced no heirs can succeed in
pressing their claims to a share Of his
property.

A. FAMousNPLATE.
This First Engraving Was Printed
on a Lnundress' bundle.

This First Engraving Was Printed
on n Laundress Humble.
Two groups Of tourists.were standing
in the Pitt palace before the large plate
Of pure silver upon which Biniguerra,
the great master of early engraving,
had depicted his lovelye. Madonna and
Child in trellised' arhor covered with
roses. An Italian lady was,telling her
friends in an undertonefthes charming
anecdote of Finiguelra andi the laun-
dress.
The artist. it msAinsmasteringsthe
new and difficult art, ,df'engravingupon
metal, had acquired a singularly keen
eve and delicate touch, ,iand he also pos
sessed a number of very fine and sharp
instruments. which ho used in his
work.
Being a kindly man the sometimes
placed both his sure hand and his fine
tools at the service Of hislfriends and
neighbors in performing for them some
Of the simpler operations of surgery,
until be acquired quite a areputation for
his skill in doctoring their hurts.
One day poor laundress who had
been washing clothes,ii in wringing out
a garment in which aA needle had been
carelessly left, ran it deeply into her
hand. Worse yet, itlbroke Off in the
wound and a part remained imbedded
in the flesh. She was in mucA pain,
and on her way back from the stream
where she had been washing she stop
ped at the house of thel artist and was
admitted.
Entering his studio she hastily set
down her wet and heavy bundle and
held out the injured hand, begging his
assistance. Finiguetra left his work to
help her, ana after long and delicate
manipulation extracted the broken nee
die. The woman thanked him and
turned to go, lifting her bundle from
its resting place.
Then he saw that she.had set it upon
one Of his engravings. Like all Others
at that time, it was plate of engraved
metal. complete in itself, and regarded
as a single and sufficient picture. exact
ly as il it had been painting.
But as the damp bundle was raised
the quick eye of Finiguerra,saw that il
had received an impression from th,
engraved picture beneath, and his quicl
mind seized at once the suggestion o.
the possibility Of indefinite reproduc
ton from a single original So tina
from the kindness Of great artist to
poor washerwoman sprang the discov
cry which has placed the beautiful
products of the engraver's art within

II Took n Broken Leg 10 Get the

1t is stated that one morning recent
ly a young fellow who had just secured
a clerkship IN a government Office was
considerably startled by little .scere
that he witnessed. An elderly man, one
of the senior clerks N tho room, sud
denly rose from his desk, dragged the
comfortable chair on which he had
been sitting into the middle Of the
room, seized a poker and attacking the
chair with great vigor succeeded in
breaking one of its legs. When it was
done. the official gave sigh of relief
and flung the chair into a corner Of the
room The budding junior FIRST thought
was that his senior had suddenly taken
leave Of his senses, and he almost ex-
pected that his colleagues would put
him under restraint But to his aston
ishment the other clerks hardly raised
their eyes while the worlziof destruction
was in progress. Before the Office work
was over the newcomer sought informa-
ton from one of his fellow clerks.

And Tie Has Good Reason TO After
His Narrow Escape.
"There is a physician now stopping
at this house, remarked the proprietor
of one Of the hotel barber shops. 'who
has a mortal dread of razor in the
hands of another. It originated in re-
markable experience. Some years ago
he was in a town in Iowa and stepped
into barber shop to get shaved. All
the chairs We're filed so he sat down to
wait. In few minutes one Of the bar
bers called Next and he was getting
up when a gentleman who had just en-
tered addressed him.
4 am in a great hurry to catch a
train, he said, and would be very
grateful if you would allow me to take
the chair ahead of you.
"Such requests are not unusual, and
the doctor who is naturally obliging,
told him to go ahead and resumed his
seat. The other man had hardly climbed
into position when the barber picked
mp a razor and cut his throat from ear
to ear. killing him instantaneously.
sin spite Of stories to the contrary,
think that is the only case Of the kind
that ever happened in the United
States. The barber turned out TO be in
sane. but the horror of the scene and
the almost miraculous character of his
own escape made such an impression
on the mind Of the doctor that he hai
never since allowed anybody % shave
| him.
"Only this morning / trimmed his
hair, and in finishing the job started
as is customary, TO shape up the growtl
Of his temples with the corner Of my
razor. The moment he caught sight o.
the blade he turned pale as death
