GAVE HER NURSE $1,000.
Heirs Now Trying to Revoke the
Donation,

Arguments were made yesterday be.
fore Judge X. w. Archibald In United
States court, on rule for preliminary
injunction in the case of Mrs. Mary e.
Bishop and others, of Cincinnati, o.,
against Miss Luela York, of Williams
port.
The plaintiffs are heirs of Mrs. Eliza
beth p. Patterson, who died three years
ago in Cincinnati. The defendant is q
professional nurse. who cared for Mrs
Patterson in her last illness and also
for Mrs. Patterson's husband, who pre-
ceded her in death only few months.
A few days before her death, Mrs
Patterson gave the nurse $4,000 In
bonds. The heirs are seeking to compel
her to turn the bonds over to the es-
tate, alleging that at the time the bonds
were given the nurse, the donor was in
such feeble condition of mind and body
that she was not legally capable OF dis
posing of her property.
Miss York alleges that she nursed the
Pattersons for long period of time for
only q nominal compensation, with the
understanding that they would reim-
burse her in manner, as they put II
themselves, that would make her in
dependent of her profession"
The injunction asked for yesterday
was to enjoin Miss York from disposng
of the bonds until the case is finally ad-
justed by IL jury trial. Judge Archibald
granted the injunction, but made a pro-
vision emitting Miss York to use the
earnings of the bonds pending the suit.
EX-Judse T. n. Willard represents
the plaintiffs. and j. A. Beemer, OF
Williamsport, the defendant.

Physical Culture at It's Best.

The training of sound body is con-
sidered of as much Importance at
Swarthmore College as intellectual cul-
ture. 1t receives the same discriminate
ing direction and care, The handsome
gymnasium recently built is the latest
evidence of this.
hut physical culture at Swarthmore
is intelligently conducted. A course of
training is prescribed for each indi-
vidual case to meet the individual need.
AS result the health record Of
Swarthmore Is remarkable.
In this, AS well as in every other de-
partment, the advantage Of the "small
college" is manifest. 1t makes possible
that close personal relation between in
structor and student that awakens and
develops the best there Is in a man or
woman.
The same discrimination, thorough
equipment and intelligent direction eX-
tend to every branch of the college

tory, etc.

anCe. Loss, $4,000.

The Acworth Touring and corn mills
were completely destroyed by fire on
Monday morning last. The fire caught

rells of flour per day and could grind
several hundred bushels of corn per
day. Acworth had no fire company and
the flames had nothing to impede their
devouring work, until the whole
mill was reduced to ashes. About one
car load of flour was taken from the
burning building and saved. Several
unloaded cars of wheat were pushed
down the track and saved. The prop
erty was owned by Messrs. Orlando
