Samuel F. Burns, the Sixth avenue restaur-
ant keeper and by Morrison Rogers. for
merly his cashier. as co-executors under
his will, for the revocation Of the letters
testamentary issued TO Susie T. Fitchet
sister OF Burns. whom also he named
as an executor. 1t appears from the papers
in the application that the three executo rs

cooperate with her and Rogers in the man.
agement Of the estate.
Rastus S Ransom, counsel for Mrs.
Burns and Rogers told Surrogate Fitz-
gerald that Mrs, Fitchet, at the executors
meetings, repeatedly denounced her CO.
executors, accusing them of having re-
moved a $4,000 bag of gold from the
restaurant safe within day or two Of the
restaurant proprietors death, and also de-
claring that Mrs. Burns was not legally
the widow. No basis existed in truth for
these statements, said Mr.. Ransom
Burns left an estate worth over $3.50, 600,
including the estimated value of the good
will of the business. He left half Of his
property to his sister, Mrs Fitchct, and
third to Mrs. Burns, with directions that
company was to be formed TO continue
the restaurant business in his name. From
the time Of his death. says Mrs. Burns,
Mrs. Fitchet has consistently set her face
against every proposal for cooperation
made by the widow and Rogers. Mrs.
Fitcbet, even refused to approve Mrs
Burns's bills, until warned that the estate
was liable for them, She has turned in a
bill against the estate, however for $l4, 877,
which Mrs, Burns and Rogers dispute.
She refused 10 agree to let Rogers con-
tinue as manager of the restaurant at a
proposed salary of $4,000 and finally she
and her counsel W G. McCrea, without
consulting the other executors, incorporated

Mrs. tchet denies the allegation of
improvidencc and says that she, as the
principal owner Of the estate, should have
n stronger voice than any one else in the
management, She says that Rogers and
Mrs. Burns are trying to run the business
their way with view TO getting complete
control of the property. Mrs. Fitchet

A Great Cathedral.

When the great Episcopal ca.
thedral of st. John the Divine. in
New York, was projected, about
II years ago, the projectors did
not fix any definite date for it's
completion. 1t is to cost about
$55, 100000 and is to rank with
st. Peters at Rome, both in size
and architectural splendor. AL
though work has been going on
steadily for the last five years,
only one of the four great arches
that are to support the central
dome is completed, and the. con
tractors say that the whole strue-
ture may be finished in another
half century.

RACING WITH BARE FEET.
Curious Story Related to a Paris Po-
lice Commissary.

Curious Story Related to a Paris Po-
lice Commissary.
Very curious is a story which is
related of a race that was imprO-
vised recently, with the result
that the competitors have had
good reason to rue the gullibility
which they had evinced on this Oc-
casiOn, says Paris correspondent
of the London Telegraph. A par
ty of men were refreshing them
selves at a bar when the CONVEX
satiOn turned on the interesting
subject of athletic sports They
had been discussing various rec
ord performances when one Of
their number delivered himself Of
the opinion that a race with bare
feet was about the most trying Of
all. The others having cOntended
that, on the contrary, it was by
no means a difficult matter to run
under such conditions, the indi-
vidual who had started the argu-
ment offered to back it with a
round sum of money. The bet was
accepted without a moments hest
tation, and course terminating
at the Place de la Bastile having
been agreed upon, the whole par
ty proceeded to divest themselves
of their boots, which were depos-
tied in a convenient nook, and the
signal having been given, off they
went as fast as they could go. One
competitor Jagged behind, and
this was the man who had main.
tanned that to run barefoot was
no easy undertaking, but as the
others looked behind them and
noticed that he was already limp
Ing they only laughed. When,
however, the race over, they re-
turned to the spot where they had
left their boots they soon realized
that the situation was no subject
for mirth, as the shoes had disap-
peared, and with them the indi-
vidual who had started the whole
affair. The surprise of the police
commissary of the district when
he received the visit of the party
who had called on him to lodge a |
formal complaint may readily be |
imagined.

Indiana Poetry.

The "limit" of poor verse has
been reached by a Hoosier who
feelingly writes:
The poor, benlghted Hindoo,
He does the best he kin do;
He sticks to his caste from first
to last,
And for pants he makes the skin
do.
Too many people make the skin
do the work that the bowels and
kidneys should do. A bilious, con-
stipated condition means a yellow
skin, lusterless eyes, foul breath,
and a general worn out feeling. Ali
this can be remedied by the use of

DEMAND FOR FICTION.
Not So Widespread as Is Commonly
Thought, Says Librarian.


With the world becoming fuller
Of Carnegie Libraries every day,
and with the number Of books on
library shelves multiplying as the
leaves on the trees in spring, H.
brarians are inquiring more and
more into the attitude Of the pub
lie toward the libraries, says the
New York Sun. BY means of IL
brary statistics the librarians
feel the pulse of the b0ok-reading
public and tries to keep in touch
with the character of the reading
done, so that he may keep such
goods on his counters as are de.
sired.
The fiction read by public IL
brary borrowers in this. country,
for instance, runs from 50 to 50
per cent. Of the total number of
volumes taken out. But, having
ascertained the fiction percent.
age, the librarian has only begun
his examination of the reading
taste.
John c. Dana, librarian of the
Newark public library, recently
took fifteen working days, from
June 4 to June 20, and had the cir.
culatiOn analysed down to the
finest point possible, with inter
esting results. He finds that only
40 per cent. of library borrowers
continue to take books frequently
after the first 1S months. He has
discovered that the borrowers
who call constantly for fiction are
comparatively few.
In an article covering his re-
searches, which will appear in the
Library Journal for August, he
says:
The total number of novels
which were borrowed during the
10 days was Sis. The total mum.
Der Of persons who borrowed
! these novels was 4,18I. Half Of
these took only one novel. The
other half, or 1000 persons, took
out 5000 different novels in u
days; 1929 drew two novels each
in that period. About 600 took
out three novels each; 276 four
novels each; 100 persons drew 500
different novels, or five each, in 10
days; 30 others took out six nov
els each; % borrowed seven nov
els each; three persons took out
eight each; one took nine, and one
drew ten.
"The persistent novel borrower
at a public library is not. then, by
the showing Of these figures, en-
titled to the name legion. Libra
rians generally have long been o.
the opinion that it is necessary
for them to keep on hand a larg,
supply of the most recent fiction
without much regard for its quail
/ ity, and even at some loss of full
ness as regards the library's list
of books in other departments.
"They have thought it was nee.
eSsary thus to stock their shelves
with recent popular novels be-
cause they have supposed that
the general public, the mass of
their book borrowers, were all Of
one mind as TO such books. They
have been inclined to think that
all their card holders wished the
library to keep on hand a good
supply of the latest novels.
"Our figures, based on an inves
tigatiOn of only 10 days, are, Of
course, not conclusive, but they
point very strongly to the con
clusiOn that out of the total mum.
Der of persons who make use Of
the library to the extent of taking
out cards very small percentage
are making frequent inquiry for
recent novels or even for fiction
at ALL"
