account of the waste of natural gas and

held that oil could not be mined from gas

NEW BATTLE BEING wAesD.
Another Attempt to Pre~e HeirsAID to Part of the Big A. n. Stew
 art Estate.

A fresh battle for the millions left by A. T. Stewart is to be commenced In the supreme court this fall by prom inent lawyers, who have been collect ing evidence for more than three years. Thousands of dollars have been spent in gathering information on both sidea of the Atlantic, and the attorneys as- sert that they have overwhelming proof to establish the linship of theaE client to the dead millionaire.
 The petition for the probate of the uSlf of A. T. Stewart declared that he had no heirs, and it was the failure to prove the falsity of this statement that re- suited in the setting aside by the courts of the claims made by previous con- testants. In the coming litigation, however, there will figure prominently an autograph letter of A. T. Stewart, the authenticity of which, 1t is claimed is established by unquestionable evil dence, in which he acknowledged the kinship of certain nephew several years before his death This nephew, though of advanced age, Is still hale and hearty, and will be one of many gTit- nesses called.
 No attempt will be made to get hold of the property which went to the widow, but thsy will strive to get that which went to Judge Hilton.

 Flashlight powders are not particu- larly dangerous, when handled with care. Do not place them near inham- mable draperies, however. or take any risks with them whatever.
 The fad of the day seems to be fram- ing of ones photographs in special frames of black oak. A frame manufac- turer told me last week that his busi- ness with amatur photographers had grown to be enormous, and that prae- tically all of it was on the narrow black oak or chestnut frames that set any black and white print off beautifully These frames are cheap, and they make a real wall ornament out of a print that looks insignificant when simply mount ed on card.

He took his place among the other young clerks in the treasurer's office of the New York Central and with them remained on duty till four p. m., with an hour of for luncheon. 'He is a young man of sense," said Treasurer Rossiter, "and he feels the responsible ities that his wealth has brought upon him. Like all the Vanderbilts, he wants to be keen man of business, and so he has started in to learn the workings of the great property in which he has such large interest.
 "He will do his work with the other young men, who are a fine class of boys," continued MT. Rossiter. Their salaries average ssS week. I can't say what MT. Vanderbilt's salary will be. Of course he won't have to remain during office hours. The great demands of his estate will take him from here often. don't suppose he will have to ask me when he wants to go out for half an hour"

TO WORK NEW GOLD FIELDS.
The Recent Discovery of Dr. Linck in SOuth KOrdOfaR Prom
 izes We'll.

Dr. Mnck. professor of geology in the University of Jena, who is an in- timate friend of Slatin Pasha, the new inspector general of the Sudan, in the service of the British, has just returned from a journey of explora- tion in the Kordofan. He reports the discovery of rich gold mines in the district known as South Kordofan.
 It is expected that company will be formed at once to work the gold fields. The fact that gold exists in rich-paying quantities in the Sudan has long been known. Sixty years ago the famous Mehemet Ali em- ployed an Austrian mine expert to examine this very district. He dis covered gold, but political complica- tions prevented development at the time, and since then the lawless con dition of the Sudan under the kha- lifa's misrule has effectually prevented anyone from attempting to go into the district where the gold is now found. Slatin Pasha enabled Dr. Linck to investigate the neighborhood and the result of his 1abors is likely to prove remunerative in the highest degree.
