MRS. FLAGLER's NEPHEws.
Three Young Men Ask share of In

err Wife

Three Young Men Ask share of In
come of Standard OIL Mans Form
err wife.
From the New York Herald.
Job q. Hedges has been appointed
referee by Judge Scott of the Supreme
Court for the purpose of taking testi-
mony as to whether William w. Tay-
Tor, harness-maker, of Nora Springs.
Iowa; George w. Taylor, a house
painter of Rockford, Iowa, and Rich
ard w. Taylor. an engine driver on the
Northern Pacific Railroad, living at
Ellensburg, Washington, three broth
ers, are nephews of Mrs. Ida NJ Flag
Ter. If this relationship be established
they Will come in for a share of her
fortune of several million dollars on
her death, but they now seek to have
the court allow them to divide $4,000 a
year from her surplus income during
her life because of her present mental
condition.
These three young men are earning
just suftcient for the necessities of
their families. They knew Mrs. Flag
Ter as children and also her brothers
and sister. but lost track of all their
relatives in 1875, when their mother
died and they were placed by their
father, Edward w. Taylor, in the New
York Juvenile Asylum They were APP
prenticed to farmers in the West
Until year ago they never heard
from their relations. Then they ascer-
tanned that Henry M. Flagler had been
making inquiries concerning them, as
his former wife had requested him to
do. They allege they were on cordial
and affectionate terms with Mrs. Flag
Ter before they were sent away and
that she wanted to adopt William w.
Taylor.
When Mrs. Flagler became wealthy
she found out where some of her rei-
atives had drifted and assisted them
financially, including her brothers and
sister, Charles r. and Stephen e.
Shourds and Matte A. Johnson, and
asked her husband, after her mental
troubles came upon her, to look for the
children of her sister, Mrs. Taylor.
Mrs. Johnson and her two brothers
are receiving $4,000 a year each from
the income of Mrs. F'lagler's estate.
Her property in August last was esti-
mated at $2,373, 1912, largely in Stand
ard Oil securities, and the income is
more than 100000 a year. She is UNI
der the care of DR. Charles F. Mac
Donald, and the annual expense OF
taking care of her is $685. 200. so there is
a large surplus. Mr.. Flagler obtained
a divorce from her In Florida last Au-
gust on the ground of insanity.
1t is because the question of the re-
lationship of the three young men is
not admitted that proof will have to be
taken.

Weather conditions have been potent
for good during the past week. Re-
tail distribution was greatly accelerat-
cd which in turn enlarged jobbing
trade and brought more pressure on
manufacturers for prompt shipment;
agricultural work was facilitated and
building operations made rapid prog
ress; traffic increase at the interior as
the condition of country roads improv-
cd. which made collections better. Some
labor controversies were settled and
others were averted. Complaints are
still heard regarding tardy deliveries,
hut freight is less congested and bust
ness has increased to the extent of So
per cent, larger railway earnings for
April thus far than last year and 1853
per cent. over 1900.

maintain a conservative position. Sup
ply and demand must in the long run
govern prices, and, in this industry,
needs are greater than available stocks,
although productive capacity has
largely expanded. Pressure for pig
iron is very great, but furnacemen
have contracted for their output far
into the future, and consumers who
want prompt delivery are willing to
nav premiums.
Cotton goods have not followed the
fluctuations in the raw material, al
though it's strength has contributed to
the steadiness of the finished product.
The feature of the week was the in
creased inquiry for export and mills
catering to this trade are sold far into
the autumn. In the domestic trade
many bids slightly below ruling prices
were not considered, and it is evident
that supplies are in strong hands. De-
liyeries are being made more prompt,
". yet there is no fear of accumula-
ton.
Grain and meats have continued very
strong. There was some logical ex-
PLANTATION of the advance in corn, in
terror receipts falling to S57, 500 bush
els for the week, while Atlantic ex-
ports rose to 3S4,S03 bushels, an I'M
usually large total for recent times,
although small by comparison with the
corresponding week in preceding years.
Cotton attained higher price, South
ern makets leading the advance on de-
creasing port receipts and good de-
mand from spinners.
Failures for the week numbered 261

year and "a in Canada against q a

Royal Poultry Keepers.
From London NJ. A. p.

Poultry keeping is one of the modern
delights of society. That is should be
so may puzzle those who base their
ideas on some disreputable type OF
farmyard hen, and who have never
visited big poultry show, where fan
cy fowls are staged in all their glory.
No lover of the beautiful in nature can
fail to be impressed by the delicate
coloring of some of these aristocrats
of the, poultry world, the exquisite
markings and the quaint eccentricities
of others. The arts and sciences OF
breeding may remain a closed book to
us. But the wonderful products Of
modern fanciers demand admiration.
The queen is the first poultry keeper
in the kingdom, and a regular exhibit
or and prize winner at all the great
shows. One of her favorite varieties Is
the Silkie, a quaint little fowl, with
white plumage Of silky texture. The
king, if he is not actually a poultry
fancier, has a sincere respect for the
Silxie fowl. for they are wonderful
mothers for rearing pheasants and are
much in request at Sandringham. The
queen also has some of the tiniest and
smartest bantams in the country, and
their excellence from show point OF
view is proved by the number of prizes

style in I9O4--Immense Amplitude
alter TO Be Erected.
Chicago, April 1S.-Genuine surprise
and enthusiasm at the magnitude OF
the plans greeted the presentation to-
night of the first authoritative outline
of the international Olympian games in
this city in 1904. Before 200 distin-
guished guests at a banquet of the
Press Club, the announcements were
made in a series of addresses by Olym-
plan games officials and other notables
in whose honor the banquet was held.

Upton was read, promising his assist
ance.
The plans outlined include a struc-
ture of steel and concrete exceeding in
size the great Flavian Amphitheater of
Rome and having a seating capacity
ten times that of the Madison Square
Garden, New York. Worlds cham
pion contests will be organized in
standard sports, including field and
track athletics equestrianism, yacht
ing, rowing, billiards, turning, and all
other games International in charac-
ter.

ness and in point of installation equal
10 any exhibition of art and science
which has ever been organized. Emil
nent officials and prominent men from
all parts of the world will be invited to
attend; while the presence of nunler-
GUS European potentates and other
olgnitaries both at the games at
Athens and at Paris justifies the ex-
pectation that America will be SINH
Arly honored.

Western Georgia

an interesting experiment in western

but not touched by any railroad. Eight
or ten thriving towns will be served

carrier shall average six miles an hour
in covering his route.
Judge Adamson went to the Postof-
