cREscEUs' RECORD.
Board of Appeals viii Decide Whether
1884 Mark Shall Stand.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-Whether the time of
1.5@A which the great trotting stallion
Cresceus is said to have made at Wichita.
Kan. Oct. 10, will be allowed to stand as
u record or not. probably will he decided
by the board of appeals of the American
Trotting Association which met in Chca-
go, Tuesday. Evidence for George II.
Kctcham. owner and driver of Cresceus,
and for the Southern Kansas Fair and
Carnival Association, under whose aus
pieces the trial was made, was put before
the board. Mr. Ketcham presented his
case orally besides written statement.
The main question at issue seems to be
whether the meeting was regularly con-
Quoted under the rules of the association.
One rule provides that any regular meet
ing shall be advertised at least a week
beforehand also that there shall be at
least two class events in addition to tho
trial against time these events also to be
duly advertised. Mr.. Ketchams side was
unable to produce advertisements and the
board has wired to Wichita to have any
published announcements mailed to Chlca-
go.

FOUND A FORTUNE
In the squalid Home Of Misery Woman
at Harlem,

New York Dec. 2.-Lawyers renre-
senting the heirs of Mrs. Mary j. Oil
yer, the Harlem miser who was found
dead in her squalid home several weeks
ago. are reported to have found that
the old woman had decided all her
property to Mary L. Alderdice, the
young daughter of Mrs. divers agent.
The latter was a superannuated minis
ter. He was found unconscious and
died from apoplexy a few hours after
Mrs. Oliver passed away.
The real estate decided the girl is
valued at $125.OO0. Large sums of
money supposed to be on deposit to
the credit of the miser have not yet
been located and the bank books are
missing. Counsel for the Oliver heirs
are preparing to sue for the setting
aside of the transfers. Mean time law
yers representing Miss Alderdice have
demanded possession of $1,000 worth
of bond found in Mrs. divers rooms,
which they say belonged to the de-
ceased minister.

TO SUSPEND WORK.
American Bridge Co. Cannot Stand
Demands of Its Workmen.

New York Dee. 2-It is announced
that the American Bridge Co., has de-
cided to give up for the present its
construction department, so far as the
New York district is concerned. This
will enable work to proceed on a large
number of contracts.
The main reason is said to be that a
number of contracts which have been
subject to the company by members OF
the Building Trades Employers Asso-
citation and have been held up because
the latter body will not recognize local
No. >, of the IrOnworkers. The Ameri-
can Bridge Company considered itself
still bound by the agreement which it
made last April with local No. 2, and
work has been at standstill since
then. The contracts will be taken over
by q local firm.

strange miracle had been performed,
that the corpse was fresh and undecay-
ing.
When COLUMBIA had completed his
work of erecting the holy structure
which he built in the isle he gave the
isle the name Icolmkill, or the Isle of
COLUMBIA of the Cell.
Legendary lore would add this in
cident as indicating the strictness of
his purpose: Close to Iona there is
little rock isle called "Wives Island"
It is said that Columbia became at one
time disturbed in his devotions by the
repeated contentious of the feminine
portion of his population and that he
suddenly banished all the women and
cows to this barren place.
Columbia died in 597. After his death
the monks suffered expulsion from
the pictish kings. Pirates overran the
island and the Norsemen several times
ravaged it. Its history from that time
until the seventeenth centuryis story
of various rebuildings, pilgrimages of
kings, disputes among bishropics as to
jurisdiction, and various religious re-
generations at the hands of monks and
nuns who made the isle their head
quarters. In 1917 James vi. placed the
monastery under the bishopric Of Argyll
and in 1881 Charles /. commanded the
ruins to be restored. During all of
these centuries the isle was regarded
as a sanctified place and the bodies
of kings were taken there for burial.
1t is said that 40 Scottish kings, two
Irish kings, two Norwegian princes
and numberless others of royal blood
and high rank are inferred in "The
Blessed Isle" That the island came to be
regarded as peculiarly burial ground
may be gathered from the fact that
Duncan /. and his murderer Macbeth,
of Shakespeare's tragedy, was inferred
at "Colm-lill." Among the famous
ruins Of the island are the Cathedral,
the Nunnery, the ST. Grams chapel and
various ancient crosses and tomb
stones. It is doubtful, however, If any
of these reach back into the half
tabled time of Columbia; they are the
structures erected by enthusiasts of
the eleventh century.
! Iona to-day is one of the many odd
spots, with an historical heritage,
which tourists love to visit. To the
latter it has an added interest because
Of the visit made to the isle by the
great DR.. johnson and his faithful
private chronicler, Boswell, and the
literary work which resulted there
from. The few Inhabitants Of Iona do
a little fishing and little tilling Of the
ground, but depend chiefly for their
support upon the money left by tour
shts.
