NEVER FORGOT HIS DAUGHTER.

New York, Dec. IA romance
buried nearly half a century. has
been disclosed by the filing for pro-
bate of the will made by Alpheus
d. Dubois, who had presided over
public school of this city as prin-
cipal for 50 years. He retired three
years ago and died Sunday The
will astonished even his most inti-
mate friends, for it showed that he
had amassed a fortune valued at
one-quarter to half million of dol
lars.
The romantic interest in the will
arises from the fact that bequest
is made to Professor Dubois daugh-
ter. Not even the old school mas
ter's most intimate friends, and his
confidential friends who were few,
knew he was married, and the tes-
tator, in naming the daughter, used
only her given name because he did
not know to whom she had been
married. Investigation shows that
the professor separated from his
wife nearly fifty years ago. She
went away, taking their little girl,
and neither the husband nor his
relatives ever heard from them
again. They are supposed to be
still alive and i'll this country, but
where no one knows. The profess
sor's relatives refuse to give any
information regarding the affair
long buried in the past but it is said
the wife was a member of well
known family here.
Professor Dubois was the son of a
minister. His wealth is supposed to
have accumulated through shrewd
investments of his savings as a
teacher. For more than II years he
lived in small room, preparing
part of his own meals and declared
he spent only dollar or so daily,
while his income grew until it
reached the sum of $50, 900 year.

FRANKFORT TO HAVE A NEW
DEPOT.

(Louvisille Post, Oct. 2, 1907
The capitol at Frankfort is older
than the railroad station, but it is
no ugler and no more dilapidated.
But the Louisville & Nashville
railroad expects to give Frankfort
new passenger station before the
State builds new capitol.
The new freight station to be used
by the Midland and the Louisville
d Nashville is already under way,
and it will; be great convenien ce
to Frankfort business.
The passenger station will be
more attractive TO the citizens and
the public generally than the
freight station.
Some time ago the railroad COM
pany bought some property adjoin-
ing the1iepot which years ago was
"a market-house. The new station
for passengers has been recon-
mended time and again by the local
representatives of the road, but
one obstacle after another has in
terposcd, and the project has been
postponed.
1t is now said that the work will
be shortly ordered. Frankfort is an
important business point, and it
will be given passenger station
that is worthy the capital of the
State.
The property available is limited
and it will have to be utilized to
the utmost. 1t will be modern in
all respects and so arranged as to
facilitate the business of the COM
pany and the comfort of the pas
sengers. The cooperation of the
city authorities will be asked, and
an effort made TO meet all the re-
quirements of the public. 1t is be-
lieved work will begin in the
spring, and that the new passenger
station will be the most important
building erected since the city, fifty
years ago, built the Capitol Hotel
at the cost of $4,000.
