GIRL INHERITs A FORTUNE.
She Gets Valuable Real Estate After
u Four Years Fight.

SYRACUSE, y. y, Feb. 10.-Miss Edith
WILDER has been notified that she is the
owner of 1000 acres OF valuable real es-
tate in otsego, schoharie, and Delaware
Counties. The property is valued at be-
tween $500, 600 and 100000
The decision that gives her the title
to the property was made by the Court of
Appeals at Albany, and is the end OF
four years litigation.
Miss WILDER is a pretty young school
girl and the only grandchild of the late
David WILDER, of Oneonta. In his will
Mr.. WILDER distributed his personal prop
erty, amounting TO 81 900 ,0O0, and left all
his real estate TO his young granddaugh-
ter. The validity of the bequest was at
tackled, the chief contestant being Mr..
George WILDER, an uncle Of Edith WILDER,
who was then mere child. State Senator
Krum appeared as Miss Wilbcr's atter-
ney.
The estate is a magnificent one and is
all highly improved. 1t includes CTum-
horn, IA summer resort In Otsego County.
Miss WILDER is at present a student in
Cazenovia Seminary. She is ambitious

One can imagine the agony of the truly
good Senator, should the bill go over this
session and he be forced to discuss it as
one in which he and his are openly beg
ging for largcss TO themselves. Only less
touching is that of Mr. GTiscom and his
friends, who see fast being launched the
shipping that, capable of being offset
against requirements for American ship
building in case their bill had passed two
years ago, as they intended, is rapidly be-
coming unavailable for that purpose. In
deed, should their bill go over to the
next Congress, they might actually be
compelled to build some ships in Ameri
ca which. for other reasons, they had not
already ordered.
Nor can anyone doubt Senator Hanna's
sincerity in the touching appeal with
which he closed his late remarks in Con-
gress in favor OF the Subsidy bill-which
he took occasion to explain wasn't his at
all. only a patriotic measure of Senator
Frye; especially when properly annotated

so full that there Is no room for anything
else. The dollar is the horizon of the
views q many men, and its value is to
them the highest of all values. But thank
God there is a value above that in this
world. The value of Christian devotion
is paramount, and l pray the Lord we
may come to realize it more and more.
THE first thing that you want to do in
this life is to go into partnership with
Jesus Christ. That is firm which never
goes bankrupt Now is the accepted time
for your salvation. Do you know if this
Christianity is not practical 1t isn't good
for much? Thank God, it is practical. 1t
works in our everyday business 1t
works up there in the Capitol and it
works in the White House. Seek first the
kingdom of God and other things will
then come TO you more easy.
Going back in history we see every
where evident the effects and results Of
Christianity. The great Washington is a
particular example. At Valley Forge he
spent long hours on his knees praying for
aid to the cause of liberty. He was a
Christian man and doubtless as an answer
to mis- prayers the cause of the col MES
was crowned with success. Then later
there is Abraham Lincoln. Opinion as to
whether or not he was really n Christian
man may differ, but there is absolute evil
dence that he often prayed earnss -ly hat
the Almighty might preserve the Union.
Whatever General Grant may have been
in his earlier days he was in the closing
years OF his life a deyout believer in
Christianity.
Years ago, in an Ohio town, there lived
a young man who dared to get up in q
meeting and say that from that hour he
would accept Christ as his guide and
savior. and now after a long public Ca
reer that man now lives in the White
House.
God loves every man, and don't -ou
ever let anyone persuade you to the con-
trary. He needs men today who will come
right up TO the firing line and help him in
the battle"
Mr.. Hall then asked every man who de-
sired to say that he would from that time
on. with the help of God, adopt a Chris
tiau LIFE to stand. and nearly every Ter
son in the theatre rose to his feet.
After Il brief prayer and the singing of
hymn the meeting was over. Mr.. Hall
held an impromptu reception and shook
many of those present by the hand.
