mission houses in the country, were

vice president Of the Union National

were directed by Judge Kohlsaat to
take charge of the assets. Of the copro-

Of several creditors, who alleged that
the concern was insolvent and that its
officers had made preferential pay
ments.
Until the return of James S. Wat
son. president of the corporation, the
receivers do not expect to find out
much about the financial condition of
the company It is said to be proba-
bic, however, that the debts will prove
to be larger than the assets, which
are worth from 100000 to 5000. 900.
The concern was capitalized for ST..
100000, and had a high financial rat
ing.

owns large branch houses in New

In Boston the left-held fence backs on a

empty tin cans and other debris are often
found about the bottom of the fence.
Cleveland was playing the Boston nine.

city He knocked a long liner to left field
and the bail rolled up under the fence and
straight into an empty tomato can.
Hugh Dumy was fielding the left garden

First MaIe Colt His Reincarnation.
Walterns will is perhaps the most
remarkable of it's kind in the world.
Miss Irene Cathwaite is named as the
executrix, and, with the exception of
a few trifling requests, the entire es-
tate is placed in her hands. 1t is will
ed that Walterns remains be sealed
within the mausoleum and that the
HAAnies be conducted by the three
faithWi ones, who" so the parchment
says. need not be notified" for they
will know when the end is near.
The will further directs in the plain
est possible English that the first male
colt born upon the estate after Wal
terms emigration be taken as soon
as naturally weaned and placed in the
stable. which already awaits it.
Believing that 1 shall reappear as
indicated, 1 hereby order that the said
horse mentioned above be not sold in
case 1t becomes blind, lame or indif-
ferenst to work, or for any cause what
soever," says the will
For this purpose $4,000 is set aside,
the interest on which is to be applied
TO pay any bills which may be incurred
in carrying out this clause of the will.
The stable is of brick and of curious
design. Inc WINDOWS are fitted with
blinds for hot days, and a spring of
water continually trick1es through a
corner of the room.
Miss Irene Cathwaite, to her great
uncle an affinity, is to the neighborhood
puzzle. 1t is strange, think the neigh
bors, that youth so attractive as She
should prefer the company of age; vet
many hours they spend together roam
ing the woods in summer and winter.
He has, so it is said, named the day
of his death and looks forward to it as
tired man does to the oblivion of
sleep.
Students of the religion professed by
Mr.. Waltern suffer from curiosity on
one point which is likely to remain I'M
gratified. How can the old man. while
stiTl in this life, be sure that his next
incarnation will be in the form of a
horse, and how is he able to decree that
his liberated soul shall enter into the
body of that particular colt first to be
born on his estate after his death?
These questions are argued with all
seriousness, for, as already mentioned.
there is something in the personality
of old Mr.. Waltern that siIences those
esposed to scoff.
