charge Of an attempt to intimldate Mrs.

L. Fair and principal claimant to the
Fair millions, by men who gained adj
mlttance to her home disguised as wo-
men. was made to-day by Mrs. Nelson's
son-in-law Joshua Leonard.
Leonard says that two men drove up
to his homo. In Verona, N. j., where
Mrs. Nelson is lying Ill. and saAi AHsy
had been sent to her by her son. Abra-
ham Nelson They were dressed in
women's clothing. he says, and wore

Henry. NJ. T. Beekman. one OF Mrs. Nell
sons attorneys, said to-day:
1.-TWO weeks ago two women called to
see Mrs. Nelson at her daughters house.
They saw her only few minutes, and
don't know what they conversed about.
But after they had gone the women In
the house declared that the visitors were
men disguised as women. You can't
fool women In such matters. They knew
from the way the visitors held their
skirts and walked that they were men.
THE presumption is that they were
physicians interested In ascertaining the
physical and mental condition OF Mrs.
Nelson. Who sent them do not know,
but evidently they were emissaries OF
some one. They said they had come
from Orange.

Washington, was introduced, and deliv-
cred most interesting address.
ADDRESS OF DIR. WINES.
DR.. Wines subject was, Shall Vir-
glnia Have a State Board Of Charities?
Practical Advantages Of State Board
Of Charities" He said:
ladies and Gentlemen: The advance
OF civilization has been characterized
by progress in three distinct directions
progress In the material sense. increase
Of wealth and OF comfort, intellectual
progress. the advance in knowledge and
moral progress which Is shown In the
reaction against brutality. depression
and tyranny in all It's forms and the
growth Of the spirit Of genial humanity
and the mutual love for men as abreth-
rem.
This Is. OF course. merely the spirit
OF altrulsr. and from the point OF view
of altrulsm there is no question that
the United States Is tho foremost nation
Of the world. The democratic principles
upon which our government Is founded
are altruisHc principles.
II cannot take up time to enlarge
upon It, but many illustrations OF the
existence Of this spirit among the
