A Hint to Letter writers.

The practice Of writing private let
ters from the first TO the third page Of
n letter sheet and then going back to
the second page is a matter of taste.
but it Will not do to follow that course
Of procedure in writing legal docu-
ments.
The New York courts have disallow-
ed the provisions of will written in
this way. The testator wrote the will
on three sides Of folded paper, COM
mencing on the first page and continu-
ing on the third page at the top Of
which was written second page" and
completing and signing the instrument
on page marked third page" which,
in fact, was the second pdge of the
sheet. ''t
The court held that the will was not
signed at the physical end, as required
by the statute. The law does not con-
template going backward in order to
get forward and the will was refused
probate. The New York court Of ap-
peals sustained the decision throwing
out this form of will.-Boston Herald.

fought for principles under such lead

4 Peculiar Disease That Was KilIed
by Ventilation.
In the fight between the Monitor and
Mcfrinac it was found that there was
not sufficient mir in the turreted steam
er for the crew and that the suffocating
gases generated by the explosion Of
gunpowder found their way below and
rendered 1t practically impossible for
the men to work Necessity therefore
&C .npelled the introduction Of some ap.
pnratus for artificial ventilation.
The old methods in vogue for hun.
dreds Of years had been retained even
under the new conditions and but for
the striking exhibition of direct inter.
ference with lighting capacity would
have remained for many years longer.
In the Monitor WAS placed rotary
blower. worked by steam. Air was
thus drawn from one half of the steam
er through system Of pipes and
forced into the other. Various changes
were made In later ironclads of this
period. In some the air was drawn
down the turrets and forced through
out the vessel, .fhps rendering them
more than ever finble to suffocate the
men below In battle, while in others the
supply was obtained through armored
cylinders and forced out through the
turrets.
1t was in the early ironclads that a
peculiar disease developed. which, be-
ing confined to those vessels, was soon
designated ironclad fever. In this af-
fectlon the initial symptoms were
much like those of typhus, but in a
short time severe occipital pain was
followed by complete aphonia and this
by coma and death. The introduction
of ventilating appliances caused the
disappearance of this singular disease,
and In time these metal boxes, almost
entirely submerged. came to he regard

The base ball team of the state pre-

town team yesterday in an Interesting
and exciting game, the final score being
7 to in favor of the Props The Long
mont team was ahead up to the seventh
inning when the Props by placing their
hits made four runs and kept in the lead
to the end.
The decisions of the umpire, McGwire
were very unsatisfactory to both sides,
but he invariably gave our boys the
worst end of the decision. In the last of
the ninth inning with two men on bases
and two men out, their heaviest batter
went to bat out of his turn, which is
against the rules. Captain Compton
called the attention of the umpire to the
fact and he called the man out. But the
umpire not knowing it was the third out
changed his decision after the Prep boys
were half way to the hotel and declared
the game forfeited to Longmont. The
decision was very unsatisfactory to the
Longmont people in general as well as
our boys.
