Rather than dissipato in legal warfare the
wealth left by George Francis Gilman, the
eccentric septuagenaran millionaire tea
merchant, who died intestAte in his luxurious
home at Black Rock, near Bridgeport, Conn,
one year ago, his heirs a law have practi-
their claims. Although none of the
numerous litigants OF their lawyers would
discuss the subject il has been learned from
a thoroughly reliable source that the basis
of settlement is the formation of corpora
ton to conduct the 80 ten stores which
Gilman owned in the United States and
Canada and TO allot to each heir stock in
proportion to the amount of his or her
claim. These stores form the bulk of the
estate, and the residue, ii is said, will be
divided on the same plan If there be no in
tertercnce by other claimants.

AUDUBON SOCIETY.
General Observance of Bird and Arbor
Day DeSire;l-Nntcs.


Day De>ired-Nntcs. .....- ..
The following interesting notes are
contributed by member of the Audi
bon Society of Belaware
Gov. Hum has designated April LIST
as Bird and Arhor Day and we trust
that it will he very generally observed.
There has never been a spring when
so much ought to be done. With the
cocoons of the bagworm hanging on the
limbs of many trees and the cocoons of
the tussock moth caterpillar hidden
under the loose bark of tree trunks,
there seems to be plenty to do.
Despite the fact that it is unlawful
to shoot robins in this State word has
been received that gunners down about
Rahoboth are killing these desirable
song birds whose spring coming every
thoughtful person SO much desires.
This shooting certainly is not being
done through Ignorance of tho law, for
the newspapers published the law, and
the Audubon Society, during the past
year, has had copies Of the bird law
hung in the schools and railroad
stations throughout the State. These
gunners are deliberately breaking it,
We hope that all persons who disap-
prove of the conduct Of these law
breakers will keep sharp lookout for
them and Immediately report the
offenders to the secretary of the Audu-
bon Society. The time of year has ar
rived when any one found with a gun
in his possession may be regarded with
suspicion. 1t is the close season for
game, and game birds and other birds
are protected at all times except the
English sparrow and the black birds.
The fine is s. for killing any other

it is too narrow to permit the passage
of the company's large dredging
machine, and that it would be economi
cal to have the space widened so that
the machine can go through.
Mr.. Megglnson held that it would
cost the county between $1,000 and
$40, 600 to make the alterations. Mr..
Lawson said the county had 81, 900 Of
work up the stream; he did not think
it would cost the county as much as
Mr.. Megginson suggested. President

county to pay the dredging company its

Unique methods of telephony arc
working wonders in the field of marine
signalling, and when this phase of the
now achievements has been fully de-
yeloped it is believed that the danger
OF collisions and other disasters at sea
will be very materially lcssencd. One
of the most important of these systems
of telephone signals for ships was in
vented by the late DR.. Gray. BY this
plan the water of lake, ocean, or
river is made to act as the medium for
conveying sounds, as, for instance, the
strokes of a bell tolled below the sur
face of the water. The sounds thus
transmitted are heard distinctly at
great distances by means of ex-
ceptionally sensitive telephone re-
ceivers designed especially for such
service. lnasmuch rs any number of
different signals may be arranged by
the Introduction of various com
blnutions of strokes given in quick
succession or at long intervals, it will
be seen that the possibilities of the
system for signalling purposes are yir-
tually limitless. The practical appli-
cation of this invention has already
been carried so far that ships have
been lifted with apparatus which
causes gongs to ring automatically

London Doctors say They should Not be
Trained as Nurses.
'No engaged girls need apply" is the
latest phase of the nursing profession,
says the London Telegraph. Doctors
and matrons have, it appears, been dis
cussing the subject, and have come to
the conclusion that damsels who are
engaged to be married should not he
admitted as probationers to training
schools because, in the opinion of these
staid, matter of fact persons. they only
daily with nursing until the time
comes to trip lightly into marriage,
and thus stand in the way of those who
intend to devote themselves whole
heartedly to their profession.
Moreover, doctors and matrons enter
tain a strong suspicion that not few
of these giddy candidates seek the
privilege of wearing nurses uniform,
with all tho attractions it possesses, for
tho purpose primarily of working havoc
among the hearts of medical students
and others with the view of speedy
marriage. An argument used on the
other side in that even young women
who are engaged to be married would
derive inestimable advantage from
passing year or two among nurses
and learning something about how to
treat simple maladies such as occur
frequently in households. That may be
so, but nursing is now recognized
profession, and those engaged in it do
not, look fayorably on those whom they
regard as matrimonial interlopers. So

Josh Wink,
Behold, the time is again at hand
and is even now upon us, when the
women of the land will put aside the
thought of the new dress and the spring
bonnet,
And decide that this will be a good
day to begin cleaning house.
Yea, the time Of the cleaning of
houses is near, and ii cometh upon us
as thief in the night,
Or as trolley-car at the crossing for

And as the raging cyclone for sud

Hearken unto me, my son, that thou
mayest know when this pestilence is

That thou mayest learn tho signs
and the symbols Of its coming;
So that thou mayest go thence for Il
day or two, until the attack be past.
Seest thou a woman who leereth
into the corners of the wall and rub
beth with her fingers above the frames
of the pictures?
Doth she poke at the carpets With
her feet and shake the curtains in her
hand, saying that they need washing?
Doth she linger before the window
of the drug store where the moth ball
rioteth in gay display and the house

/ Then, verify, it is we'll for thee that

For she will on the morrow or even
sooner rend the carpets from the floor
Of the house and compel thee to beat
upon them in the lack yard until the
fingers of thy hands feel like unto hot
nails and they arms are even dropping

She will cause thee to lift upon the

thee, and shoveth thy back into the
wall, and rideth upon thy feet so that
thy corns howl aloud as in anguish and
thy bunions become as raging vol
canoes; .... ..z.z
She will give thee to eat disappointed
pickles from tho grocery and cold ham
that hath soiourned beside the cake OF
soap:
And to drink thou shalt have coffee
that hath been warmed over from day
before yesterday and is now as cold as
the handclasp of thy rich uncle;
She will wear garments about hel

For her hair will Sang in strings

While for raiment she will wear ar

So that thou shalt look upon her anc

Furthermore, thou shalt sleep in tht

PRESIDENT GAINS IN WEIGHT.
Has Taken on Fully Twenty Pounds in Last
MDnfhs

Six Months.
Washington Letter.
President Roosevelt is getting fat.
His cheeks are fuller than when he
became President. He has suspicion
of double chin. His frock coats
strain bit across the abdomen. He
has put on 10 or 20 pounds in the last
six months.
This does not mean that the Presi-
dent is becoming gross or that he is
not in excellent physical condition, for
he is. 1t simply goes to show that he
thrives on hard work and that the
problems he has tackled have not
caused loss of sleep or loss of appetite.
He takes as much physical exercise
as he can get. He goes horseback
riding four or five times week and
slips away for long walks on the coun-
try roads. He is not able to live the
outdoor life to which he has been
accustomed, and this undoubtedly has
the effect of causing him to gain in
weight.
From the scores of persons who have
dined with him come constant stories
of the Presidents appetite. He enjoys
his food His digestion is perfect He
likes beef balls and roast beef, plenty
of plainly cooked vegetables. He
eschews highly sauced and favored
fold.
Since he has been in the White
House he has completed the manu-
script of book on the "Decr of North
America, - in addition to keeping his
official work up to date and attending
more closely to detail than any other
President since Cleveland
