So Experts on Handwriting De-
clare Before Surrogate.
S135,000 ESTATE AT STAKE.
Rather Sensational Developments 10 Case
10 Which Young Woman Claimant ip-
psaTed 10 Have Strong Claim

New York, oct. 1.-Two experts in
handwriting, David n. Carvalho, of this
city, and DR.. Charles A. Crumpton. of the
internal revenue department. Washing
ton, yesterday declared before Surrogate
Thomas that the document purporting
TO be the last will OF Eugene Guido Crug-
er is forgery
Olga Salomca Ileitz turned pale and
half rose from her chair when Mr.. Car
valho said: THE hand which wrote the
VIII was not the same that wrote the
documents which We're admittedly writ
ten by Eugene G. Cruger"
She lays no claim 20 Eugene Crugers
real estate. which is said TO amount 10
100000 She claims only his personal
property, alleged 10 be about Si3j. 900. and
her claim hinges entirely upon the ques-
tiou OF his legal domicile and his mental
capacity 10 make a will, Ii he did make
one.
The charge that this will is a forgery
was tho last thing expected by Charles
J.. LyGcckcr. He said. I'VE never dream
ed there would he any question OF the
geuuineness Of the will"
Samuel r. Morse. OF INDIANAPOLIS. for
merly consul general at Paris, testified
that on one occasion. i'm October. 1895. Mr.
Cruger was brought to his office by Miss
lIeitz, William J. Cruger and physician.
SEEMED FEEBLE-MINDED.
MIR. Crugcr seemed to be in very bad
health" said Mr. Morse "IIe wanted To
execute a decd. but seemed 10 bc weak
minded and feeble. ] did not feel justified
I'm taking his Acknowledgement. hut upon
being assured 10y those with him that
he was perfectly competent + accepted
his acknowledgment.
The deed and a bill Of sale" contin-
uod the witness, conveyed certain prop
crty to child by one OF Mr.. Crugcr's
former wives
lie said Olga Salomca Heltz was pres
cnt and signed her affidavit Olga Hetz
kcsslcr."
David y Carvalho was then placed
upon the stand and upon examining "a
greatly enlarged Photographic copy OF
Eugene CruRer's will declared II a for
gerry Mr.. Carvalho said he had exam
ined great many admittedly genuine
documents IN tho handwriting OF Mr..
Crugcr. and on comparing them with the
Will he was satisfied that the two writ
ings were not done with tho same hand.
lie declared that the handwriting of the
will was "hesitating'' and put together
inscctions. IL looks as though the writer
was Stimulating a handwriting not faml-
Jar TO him. At certain points the letters
are smooth. That is where the writer
forgot and broke into his own hand
On cross examination by Mr.. Lydeckcr
Mr.. Caryalho admitted that there had
been "an evolution I'm Mr.. Cruger's
handwriting I'm the passing of years but
that did not explain the variations n
tie alleged VIII. 81 don't believe there
H. a single mark in that will made by
Eugene Iruger." declared the witness.
Under the French law a will to be valid
must be written as well as signed by the
tcstator.
ALSO CALLS WILL, A FORGERY
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1901-10-12
ALSO CALLS WILL A FORGERY.

DR. Charles A. Crumpton. the next
handwriting expert. said. The will has
many characteristics of the genuine hand
writing Of Mr.. Cruger. but on the other
hand II presents so many points which
clearly Indicate an attempt TO initiate his
real handwriting that ! am forced TO the
conclusion that no part OF the will was
written by him
DR. Crumpton said the will was writ
ten by foreign hand and when told by
Surrogate Thomas that Mr.. Cruger was
educated i'm France and therefore would
be very apt to write foreign hand the
expert was nonplussed

NEW WSLETS.

Among the hills OF far away
There flows an old trout stream,
And | am wandering there today
Just I'm a May day dream.
Down through the fields. so soft and
green
The brook winds round the farm,
Folding the budding tranquil scene
Within its shining arm.
The dipping willows by the mill
Caress its happy face:
So on IL flows. its purpose still
TO bless each thirsty place.
Beyond the mill the eddies rush
With eager, clamorous shout,
Into deep pools, fringed by the brush,
Where Turk the royal trout.
See therel that dainty beauty shine
out from his cool, dark nook
Oh! for a swinging rod and line,
a trusty foathered hook.
Away with busincss-quire and rcam-
My rod and reel are out:
Tomorrow sun fulfls my dream.
I'm going 10 fish for trout.

The economic value OF good roads
can hardly be oYerstated. The expo
rience IN Massachusetts. New Jersey

roads have been built the Incomes
from the farms have largely Increased
and expenditures have corresponding
ly diminished.

duce moved by the railway, express
and steamship companies Is first

the Farmers National Congress esti-
mates the annual waste In haulage to
bad roads In this country Is equal to
$40 for every man, woman and child
In It.
Every farmer knows that there Is
nothing more destructive to tranquil
lty Of mind, nothing that more effec-
lively banishes smiles and nothing
more conducive to gray hairs than to
sit on a loaded wagon and see team
struggling through mud and ruts while
the wagon tongue swings yiciously

Benefits 20 tho Farmer.

With good roads the farmer wiz
come more In contact with other men
and take larger and higher views Of
life; he will become more useful to
himself and more valuable to the COM
munity. His interest will go beyond
the division fence that separates him
from his neighbor. He will read more
and become better informed. They
open to his children the higher schools
of the towns and cities. His wife and
daughter will have an opportunity to
mix in town society, to the benefit Of
themselves and equally to the benefit
of their town-bred sisters.

why He Got Ten Daxs.

At an army fort near New York
there Is a near-sighted captain, who Is
very sensitive about his sight. He
wears glasses Of the very thickest
make.
In his company Is a private who, ex-
cept for his slovenliness, is one Of the
best soldiers in the fort He Is an
Irishman, and, like all his country
men, quick at reply. His many good
qualities have saved him from punish
ment, but his tongue got him into
trouble the other day.
The company's arms and clothes
were being inspected. The captain
looked at the private's belt and said,
angrily:
"Your belts are always dirty. What
the deuce do you mean by it?"
II beg your pardon, sir" was the re-
ply, "but 1 think it hard that when !
clean my things with the naked eye
they should be inspected with a mag
nifying glass"
The private is now in the guard
house for ten days, and his leave tt
visit the city has been suspended in

Webster, Mass, boasts of a lake
with the longest and most unprO-
nounceable name of any in the world,
but residents and visitors who pass
the summer on it's shores and islands
are quietly suggesting a substitute
for the unwieldly Indian term which
for many years has been applied to
this body Of water. Some of the bust
ness men think a change sorely need
ed, because the lake resorts suffer
financially and other business inter-
ests in Webster are great inconve-
uieneed by the unpronouneeable name.
It is suggested that the question be
discussed at a town meeting. The full
name Of the lake is Chargoggagogg-
