by the secretary. Mrs. Mckinley
made a heroic effort to bear up and
succeeded in doing so, although the
ordeal was difficult for her. All le-
gal formalities necessary for her TO
subscribe to were disposed of. In
the afternoon Judge Day and Secre-
tary Cortelyou went to the office of
the probate Judge and offered the
will of President Mckinley for pro-
bate. They carried with them the
following:
81, Ida 5. Mckinley. widow of Will
liam Mckinley, deceased, hereby de-
cline the administration Of his estate
and recommend the appointment of

you as administrators with the will
annexed"
This recommendation bears the
date Of September q, 1901.

A Musical Typcwritcr.

One of the most interesting of re-
cent inventions is the musical typcwri-
ter. II does not play music, but writes
IT, the keyboard being IN arrangement
of musical characters instead of ordi-
nary letters. The mechanism is in
most respects similar to that of the
everyday typwritcr
The sheet of paper on which the
music Is to be written is printed be-
forchand with the lines of the stan.
ana, by pressing one of the buttons,
the musical character desired may be
made TO assume It's place on the line
wanted, SO rs to stand for the proper
note or other mark. Full notes, half
notes, quarter notes and sixteenth
notes appear on the keys, as well as
the signs FOR sharps and flats.
In writing music, the operator first
prints the clcf mark, and then the ar
rangcmcnt of sharps and flats which
indicates the key in which the piece
is written. Chords are formed hy put
ting the component notes together, one
after another but In a vertical line on

may easily be realized. this kind OF

BEST SPRING MEDICINE

That Grand Jury, the People, Hare So
Decided.
Used by Hundreds Of Thousands in
Spring as Blood Medicine.
MEDICINE

Dr.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is indeed The ,.orId's Great
oprins Medicine. IL has come to be
recognized by almost everybody as the
best possible spring medicine TO take.
and hundreds of thousands of our
people use 1t during the trying spring
months, TO tone up anew the relaxed
nerves and re-iny!gorate and enrich
the blood.
spring medicine is a necessity IL
one wishes to keep in perfect health
and vigor during the changes from
winter TO summer This grand spring
tonic, this perfect spring medicine. DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, is exactly what the system
needs at this season. IL not only
pur.hes, but makes rich, red blood; il
not only strengthens and invigorates
the nervous system, but re-energizes
and reyitalizes the nerves by feeding
them with renewed nerve force and
power. 1t is not only an aid to diges-
ton, but 1t creates a regular, natural
and healthy action of the bowels. liver.
kidneys, which in the spring are al
ways sluggish and inactive.
In fact, 1t is just what people need
to make them we'll and keep them we'll
during these months, so threatening
to the health of all, and wnen it Is con-
sidered that DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy is made en-
tirely from pure. health-giving vege-
table remedies, and that people give
II more Testimonials of cure than any
other remedy on earth, no one can
doubt that it is the very best spring
remedy for everybody to use.

Mr.. Carnegie having advised young

years older than themselves, it is point

own case adopted the opposite prac-

Marriage is one of the subjects it is
not safe 10 dogmatize about, because
1t is more a matter of personal liking
than of theory. The man who chose
