 Some time after this Clip was taken with rheumatism. Every attention was lavished upon this little terrier. The best dog doctor in New York came to the hospital every day. This doctor gave Clip quinine and morphine and a great many other drugs, and it was not surprising that the dog grew worse and worse. As the weeks went by he suffered a great deal, and finally the end came.
 Clip had as imposing a funeral as ever took dog to his grave, and if there is an- other world for Syke terriers he is probably very happy spirit dog. But the sick chil- dren in the hospital miss their four-footed nurse.

number of years ago. Recently Mr..
Doyle obtained from the appellate
court decision declaring that the
transfer OF certain stock OF the Amer

Mr.. Heath at the hearing in court
said 1t had taken linn years of labor 10
develop the patents that made the
stock worth anything. During this Pc
riod Mr.. Heath said his wife support
cd him and his family and he owed her
about $4,000. The stock was advertised
for sale today by l.. = Hopkins. ESQ.

make sale.
This forenoon Mr.. Heath filed a pc

from him 10 delay the sale. The matter

WILL CONSTRUED
Appellate Court Gives Opinion
ON the Provisions Of Rhoda
NeWcOmb'S Last Testament

The opinion .of the appellate court in
the case OF Elizabeth Gallagher ct al.
VS.. Rhode Island Hospital Trust Com
pany was written by Chief Justice Mat
teson. The bill was one TO obtain
construction OF the will OF Rhoda New
comb The will was made In 1851 She
directed her trustee 10 set aside for
the property which consisted wholly OF
personally, $4,000 for her son. Charles
X. Newcomb; $4,000 for her daughter.
Elizabeth w. Newcomb: $4,000 for her
daughter Charlotte r.. Newcomb and
$4,000 each for her two grandsons, Hen
ry W. Gallagher and George Gallagher,
children of her daughter, Sarah Nj.
Gallagher.
The court holds that the first para
graph OF the will gives Charles and
Charlotte an absolute title as joint ten
ants of the stocks. moneys and goods
remaining as surplus. The court does
not think the will capable OF the con-
struction of Mary l.. Newcomb. that IT
was merely a gift OF the income.
In regard 10 the controversy over the
second paragraph OF the Will the court
construes Ii to give the survivor OF
Charles and Charlotte. IN case either
should die without issue living at his
or her decease. the income of the sums
set apart for their benefit and 10 create
a joint tenancy between them or the
income OF the sums set apart for the
other children OF the testatrix. who
should die without issue living at their
decease. This construction Is not that
contended for by the Gallagher heirs.
