s. T. RIohardson Wins Case.


Judge Boise has decided the case
OF Butterick VS.. Richardson in favor of
the defendant, s. T. Richardson.
The suit was brought by his cousin,
Lizzie Rlchardson-Butte 20 have
set aside a receipt signed by herself,
which released S. T. Richardson from
all liability as guardian OF herself and
estate, and was also receipt for all
the other property due her, a segregat-
ed account of which was given.
In deciding the matter the court re-
viewed the testimony in full, and by
his findings completely exonerated Mr..
Richardson from any fault in the mat
ter.
He found that Mrs. Butteriek re-
ceiyed all the property due her from
the estate. and that some OF the same
had been used by Richardson for his
own benefit; that plaintiff knew the az
fairs Of the estate fully at the time she
signed the release. and the act was per
formed without the least influence
from her guardian. The suit was dis
missed with the decision. which
brought out every point In the
matter. John A. Carson and p. II,
lD'Arcy were attorneys for Richard
son.

At the annual feast of McI,aurin Camp,
No. 30j, United Sons of the Confederacy
held in Washington the toastmaster,
Mr. T. r Raines, referring to the heroes
of the Spanish-American war, said
There were nine heroes after the war, "
and OF that number seven came from
Dixie" Representative Asbury Francis
Lever. was introduced to the company
as the baby member of the house" Mr..
Lever said, in concluding his address
The time has come for the young man
of the South 70 get into politics. Go home
and organize and tell the people what
you think about affairs, and they will
send you to Congress as they sent me.
You have a glorious ancestry and
glorious country. The South has not
yet begun to develop. The sons of the
men who carried the Stars and Bars TO
victory in dozens OF battles will, know,
have sufficient courage to take up the
banner OF industry in the South and
plant it so high that nothing shall ever
dislodge it, The South has begun to
realize her changed condition and days
are bright for her"

New York Millionaire Baptized 10 River
Jordan.

Cornelius Van Ness, an octogeDarian
millionaire, has been baptized in the River
Jordan, near the spot where Christ re-
ceiyed his baptism at the hands OF st.
John Mr.. Van Ness sailed on the Celtic
last month for this purpose.
Millionaire Van Ness, who for years
owned and occupied a palatial residence
on the Hudson and has extensive real
estate interests in New York, two years
ago created a sensation by marrying Miss
Alice Wood, an attractive young woman
of Port Jarvis, upon whom he bestowed
his wealth with great liberality. This
led TO proceedings in the Supreme court
by nieces of his former wife to restrain
Mr.. Van Ness from further distribution
of his estate. He settled the case by trans
ierring to his nieces property worth more
than 5000
Among the POO passengers who sailed
on the Celtic were Mr.. and Mrs. Van Ness.
It now transpires that for years Mr.. Van
Ness had cherished desire to be baptized
in the Jordan. and that the journey was
undertaken for no other purpose.
