Clay, Mrs. COrneIia Sans and
Charles +. Mills the Principal Leg

Considerable interest attaches to the
probate of the will of the late Mrs.
Charles f.. Mills, and the requests it
makes to various members of her large
family connection. The will will be filed
for probate tomorrow, but in advance
of that time those interested are rather
averse to making its contents public
It's main provisions, however, have be-
come quite generally known among the
friends of the family. The estimated value
of the estate of which the will disposes
is about 100000 OF this amount about
100000 is disposed of in specific requests;
of the residue two-thirds go to the mem
bers of the Mills family and one-third to
the members of the Cope family. Mrs
Mills was a Miss Cope at the time of her
marriage.
Mrs. Malcolm Maclean is to receive
$4,000 Mrs. P. NJ. Dougan is bequeathed
$4,000 while Mr.. p NJ. Dougan gets So
900, under the terms of the will Mrs
Fannie Joynson of England is given $25,-

lived with her in the old family residence
at Bull and Liberty streets is given the
residence for her life, S., 900 in money and
whatever securities and money are in the
house. This last provision has created
some comment, as the existence of secur-
tiles about the house is conjectured and
the value of the bequest thus made to
Mrs. Sans unknown.
To Charles F. Mills, the son of the hate
Albert Mills, Mrs. Mills left $25 0OO with
a remainder interest in the family resi-
dence, after the death OF Mrs. Sans. In

quest of $780, the Missionary Society of
the Independent Presbyterian Church
$1,000 and the Savannah Port Society
$1,000
In addition to these, there are quite a
number of other small bequests bringing
the total amount specifically disposed of
up to about 100000. Mr.. George J. Mills
and Mr.. Malcolm Maclean are named as
executors.

POLICE RAIDED A DIVE.
Negro Constable Charged with Be-
ing the PrOprietOr.


A dive on Price and York streets was
raided at an early hour yesterday MORN
ing by Patrolmen Kearney and Miller
and eight prisoners were sent to the po-
lice station house. The police claim that
Paul Cohen a negro constable, was pro-
prietor of the place, and Paul was ar
rested with the inmates. An additional
charge of firing a pistol in the street was
entered against him. The officers charge
that negroes and whites live together in
the house, and with the six negroes and
one Cuban, who were caught in the po-
lice dragnet. Hazel Wood, a white wo-
man, was found.
This section of the Tenderloin district
is probably the worst, and the police say
that they intend to raid the dives until
they have in a certain degree purified the
already sordid atmosphere. The individ-
uas arrested in the joint were Barnan-
20 Balza, Cuban; Hazel Wood, white, and
r. M. Cambell, George Wright, Evellne
Jones, Lena Grower and Mamie Banks,
colored. The police will ask Recorder
Myrick in Police Court this morning to
give the defendants the limit.

A TRIP TO BETHESDA.
Made by Supt. AshmOre ana a Party
of Teachers

Supt. OF Schools Otis Ashmore and
party of public school teachers spent
Saturday at Bethesda, where an inspec-
ton of the operation of that institution
was made and very enjoyable time had.
Mr.. Ashmore said yesterday that the
buildings at Bethesda and the entire
grounds were found by the party of
which he was a member to be in very
excellent physical condition. The school
rooms are fitted with the latest and most
approved designs of school furniture, and
1t is all new and in good shape
There are about 120 boys now al the
institution and they seem to be as well
cared-for, as happy and as contented as
those in their situation in life could well
expect to be.
Just at present the school is without a
principal, and some loss of efficiency in
instruction is the result. 1t is expected
that the lack of a principal will be sup
piled within short time and that there
after the former high efficiency of the
schools corps of instructors will be re-
stored

day school Celebrations.
Seldom has Savannah seen a more per-
feet Easter than that of yesterday. All
nature smiled on the glad festival. In
the churches and out of them there was
a universal celebration Of the day, which
has come to be recognized the world over
as the awakening festival of Spring.
The early date of the festival and the
lateness of the season. it was thought,
would mean a less beautiful floral display,
but from the rich decorations that filled
almost every church in the city, and the
masses of flowers at the Sunday-school
festivals. it would seem that nature had
given her choicest treasures to add TO the
joyousness of the day.
The music in all of the churches was
elaborate. In the Roman Catholic, Epis-
copal and Lutheran churches, which OBJ
serve Easter with greater formality than
other congregations, the services excelled
in beauty and elaborateness those of any
Easter festival in years. That IAN the
World Keeps Easter" has come to be
almost literally true. Not only the
churches but social organizations as well
observe the festival
