Concerning William c. whitney's estate, I'm
mediately after his death various estimates
wholly conjectural were made by who had
financial dealings with Mr.. Whitney, some OF
them fixing the minimum value of his estate at
$50. 900 ooo some at s15 600. After a week or
two, says a correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Press. the impression became general that Mr..
whitneys estate would inventory at about sl5-
0o0, 000 Recently there came reports telling Of
Mr.. Whitney's holdings Of Standard OIL certih-
Gates, Is. 600 in all. and these at the average
market price would approximate not far from
s13. 100000 If his estate enumerates block
of stock or certificates that could be easily sold
approximately for $40 900. for Standard oil
certificates a quick asset. then IT is not un-
reasonable to infer that the aggregate of his
estate will be found to be much in excess of
sl5 oOO 900. in view Of his heavy holdings Of vari-

THE HALoEs WE WEAR.

1t is an old theory advanced by students
of the occult that there is close conneo-
ton between color and spirit Annie
Besant, the high priestess of theosophy, as
serts that above the brow of each individual
is halo, aura. whose color indicates
that persons character and qualities. A
certain cultured lady, formerly a resident
of Indianapolis, professed to be able to
discern color in connection with people S
names and to have discovered an intimate
relation between these colors and the signs
of the zodiac governing the astrological
charts outlining the fate of such individ-
uals. The lack of popular interest in these
color schemes has probably been largely
due to the fact that the auras are not
clared that she could see them distinctly,
but conveyed the impression that ability
to do this was acquired only after long
study of occult science and acceptance of a
variety of rather vague theories. AS most
of her hearers were so busily occupied in
and butter and had time for investiga-
tions of weird and mystic affairs, it is
likely that few ever attained her power of
vision. This has seemed rather pity to
those who have taken thought of the mat
ter at ALL since a prevailing ability to dis
Germ the auras worn by ones fellow-citi-
zens would add greatly to the gayety of
life.
