William p. Bancroft is wealthy
man of great public spirit and liber-
ality- He perhaps has given moral and
material assistance to more worthy
projects than any man in New Castle
county. His latest public benefactiou
is advancing $25,OOO to the Board OF
Public Education OF this city to assist
1t in completing the new High School
at Delaware avenue and Monroe street.
He does it, although he disapproves
the action OF the board in entering into
a contract for the erection of such a
large building without having the
money in hand or in sight to pay for it.
This disapproval is expressed clearly
in the letter which he sent to dhe
board last evening. But, like Chief
Justice Lore, he believes the children
Of the city should have the advantages
Of the school during the coming scaool
year, AID he also has the same faith in
the integrity of the people that was ex-
pressed by the chief justice when he
made his unsecurd loan to the board
some weeks ago.

HIS WORDS FOR IT


The charge that Mr.. AddiclSs, or any
other man, made the ticket and forced
the Union Republicans to adopt &C is
simply assanine. The Morning News
knows IL. III 10 possesses any knowl-
edge. e.-Georgetown Journal
We only can take the words Of ]. Ed
ward Addicks for it. Here they are:
In nominating a candidate for
attorney-general, I had intended to
name Walter H. Hayes, as he had
been my choice for two years, but he
has positively declined, and I now
have letter in my pocket where he
states that ifhe is nominated he will
publicly withdraw. 1 therefore nomi-
nate a man who is very close to me,
but, as I understand, not a Union Re-
publican, Herbert H. Ward. For
state treasurer / nominate a man who
is a distinctive Higgins man, and one
who will strengthen our ticket among
the Higgins men, Martin B. Burris.
In nominating a candidate for insur-
anoe commissioner it is necessary to
select a good man, not such a one as
the present Democratic official, oonse-
quently 1 nominate Stansbury j,
Willey.-J. Edward Addicks to his
State Convention.

WANT WILL PROBATED.
Estate of Late Consul Williams in
District Of Columbia.

IstHae OF Late Consul Williams IN
District of Columbia.
A petition was filed in the Probate Court
today by Attorneys Wilton J. Lambert and
D. w. Baker on behalf of Mary c. and
Georgiana Hawkes. Thomson, asking that
the record of a certified copy in the Or
phans' Court of the last will and testa-
ment Of VIM. Thomson, deceased, late
United States consul at Southampton, Eng
land, be admitted to probate as a valid
will Of real property in this District.
1t is set forth in the petition that Mr.
Thomson died in England, leaving a will
which purported to convey property in
terests worth over 100000 in England
New York and the District of Columbia ;
that the original will was acknowledged
before two witnesses at one time and short
ly thereafter before another 1t is alleged
that as only two witnesses were necessary
to pass the property in England and New
York the court in the former place only
included the proof of two in the probate
but that of the third being taken and at
tached to a duly certified copy was placed
OF record here some time ago The court
Is asked to validate the record here under
the act of 1898, comforting jurisdiction upon
the Orphans Court to probate wills as
to real property.
The petitioners say that they have tried
to obtain the original will for probate here
but her majeSty's court refuses to allow
same to be taken out.
1t Is said that because Of the difference
in the time of the signing of the witnesses
and the fact of validity to obtain the orig
inal will for this jurisdiction, the heirs-a
law have instituted an ejectment suit here
against the petitioners, who, as devisees
under the WILL claim title to house No.
