Who Gets The Money.
What will become of the Cash
of Herman Walters is yet an
Open Question.
Several Applicants For 1t.

Under the laws of Pennsylvania
when a person dies intestate and
without heirs, his property escheats
to the state. In such case the
Auditor General is the escheator
and he has the power to appoint a
deputy escheator who takes charge
of the property ofthe decedent, and
in case no legal heirs can be found
he administers the estate, taking
out letters of administration in the
proper county, just as any admins
traitor does. In case heirs are found
he would be accountable to them,
and they could have an admins
traitor of their own choosing APP
pointed.
The first step i'll case Of the death
Of such person, is to inform the
Auditor General. The law points
out just how this information shall
be given, in due form. The inform
er receives one third of the estate
after the payment of all costs and
expenses, and the balance goes into
the state treasury.
Herman Walters who was killed
by the trolley last Friday, seems to
come under this head. He ap-
parently had no kin in this country,
and only half-sister or step-sister
in Germany who has not been
heard from in many years. He
leaves money to the amount Of
several thousand dollars, and it is
reported that he owned a farm in
Center county.
Information has been sent to the
Auditor General by at least three
persons. of the death Of Walters.
One Of them sent it in the prescrib-
ed legal form, and the other two
telegraphed. The Auditor General
must decide who is the legal in
former. The kilograms were sent
first. That is one question for
solution.
The next one is, who will ad-
minister the estate? Letters Of ad.
ministration have been granted tc
w. B. Allen by Register and Re-
corder Rutter, and II. H. Roger OIL
Center county claims to have taken
out letters there. Which of these
is the legal administrator
Will the Auditor General appoint
one of these as deputy escheator
or will he appoint some one else,
and, if so, who? Meanwhile the
Coroner still has the dead mans
money in his possession, and will
probably hold it until he can pay
it over to the proper person.

is they are making runway for

A NEPHEW FROM AMERICA.

A Paris tradesman ma med Randall re

added that the nephew was anxious to

The uncle issued the invitations. The

and chain In napkin and asked his
guests to lend him their rings, watches

The request was complied with, and
the jewelry was placed in a napkin.
The nephew rose and requested them
to keep silence He said 1t was nee

the process. and when 1t WAS complet-

prepared for them. The electric light

SLOPE OF AN ORCHARD.

The aspect or slope of the founda-
ton is matter of considerable i'm
portance, but inasmuch as opinions
among those of great experience differ
widely in regard to the best slope for
any particular fruit, it is obvious
that no arbitrary directions can be
given In fact, the great diversity Of
opinion in regard TO the matter Is
sufficient proof that no one slope or
exposure is invariably the best. but
that each one may have some advan-
tage over any other for particular OBJ
jects or conditions. In general
southern exposure ripens fruit earlier
than any other, but for some fruits,
especially those which blossom very
early, this may be the one slope of
all others to be avoided. Doubtless
fruits will color more highly on
southern or southeastern exposure
than on northern or western slope.
The object most desired should be
prominently in MUD, and then, If
possible, the exposure selected which
will contribute most TO the desired
