 As much as $50 is asked for one of the bullfnehes educated to sing a pop ular air. If the birds education has been brought to the pitch of enabling it to sing bars from more than one air S1OO would not be thought an eXhorbi- tant price to ask. The possibility of teaching a bird to know the difference between one song and another is ai- most beyond the reach, however, of even the patient girls who attend to the musical education of these warD- lers. The best that can be done is to teach the bird to warble part of one tune and then run in to another at tha end. The bird could never be taught 10 stop singing the first tune, pause aL while and then go on with the second.

THE KIRCHOFF ESTATE
A New Apprsisement Makes a Sale
 Necessary.

Objection to the inventory and ap- praisement Of the estate of A. F. C. KirchOff was sustained in probate court yesterday. The original inven- tory placed the value of the estate at $1,9S0. Under the law the court could then have ordered it set aside for the widow and the minor heirs. If the in- Ventory had exceeded S2,OO0 the court would have been obliged to order a sale for the satisfaction of the credi- tors.
 Another inventory was ordered and witnesses competent to judge of the value Of d stock Of liquors Were brought in. F. Gang appeared on be- half Of the objectors and Louis MeIczer and Joseph Thalheimer on the part of the heirs.
 The result of the second appraise- ment and the testimony was the es- tablishment of the value of the estate at d very little more than $2.OOO, but enough more to compel the court to order q sale.
 There will, however, be very little left for the creditors and the widow will fare almost as well, except for the fact that she will not be able to continue the business as she had in tended to do. As administratrix she will receive her fees and commission which will amount to a considerable part of the estate. There will be the costs of the probate court, which will be hardly less than $2O0.
 In the course of the hearing yester- day allusion was made to some mining stock which Kirchoff held. It had been deposited in a sort of pool in the National Bank of Arizona and could not be withdrawn until next June. Mir. Gang said that the stock was worth ten cents a share. MT. Aims worth who was appearing for the heirs replied that the estate would sell it for that. The sale would enable the widow to pay the debts and continue the business. MT. Gang said that he would take the stock at that price but he remarked that it would not go very far toward discharging the debts; it would amount to only $500.
 Three hundred nothing" replied MT. Ainsworth. Tt would be over S3 30OO"
 In the previous conversation on the subject of the stock the statement had been made that there were 9.1OO shares Therefore the attorneys on the other side. the court and the witnesses got their pencils out 10 ascertain how MT Ainsworth had arrived at this astound ing result. It was brought out a little later that instead of 3,1OO shares there were 31.000. MT. Gang decided that he would not take the stock,

Therefore he puts up his interest against half of Gibson's stock. Jack really has nothing to lose for if he loses the race he becomes a minority stockholder with less responsibility, and if he wins 1t he will be three fourths owner of the bunch. Then, if fortune favors him in the Belladonna race. he will have money enough to buy his brother's interest in the range horses making him sole owner and at liberty to give the horses away or shoot them if he wants to. Phil. Wharton, who is very close friend of Jack Gibson, is praying for Morris success for the reason that Jack has threatened on various occasions to give the horses to him and he Hears that if Jack were to secure the controlling in- terest he would write him a bill of sale and shove it down his throat.
 But joking aside, today's sport promises to be well worth going, to see. The Belladonna-Lottie Sparks race is to be run regardless of condi- tions and the money goes to the win ner There is no forfeit that can be given up and the race postponed as on a former occasion. and the postpone ment that occurred then was only to keep the horses in trim for this race Fox, the other horse, is fine looking animal, the one MT. Gibson rode dur ing the tournament, and will be re- membered by many. MT. Gibson would really be willing to accept the ownership of all the horses in Arizona rather than suffer the humiliation of having Fox beaten by a nag from the foothills.
