LOSES FORTUNE WILLED
BY DRUNKEN WIFE
Husband Gives Spouse All She Wanted to
Drink, and VIII Is Set Aside

LONDON, Sept. PA remarkable will
case at Edinburgh resulted in husband
being deprived of a fortune of ESQ, 900
left to him by his wife.
During her two years married life, Mrs.
Mclean, the wife Of Glasgow ship and
Insurance broker, was alleged to have
drunk LILO bottles of 1iquor-champagne
brandy. whisky and wine.
The will was set aside On the petition
OF her brother, Mr.. William Parnie, a
property agent, who said that when his
sister married Mr.. Mclean, who had no
means, she >was not addicted to drink
Her husband, however, gave her every
facility for satisfying the craving which
she developed in order, the brother con-
tended, that he might secure the settle
ment of her money on himself.
Mrs. McLean's death in 1902 at the age
of twenty nine was caused by over-in-
diligence, and 1t was alleged that at the
time she executed the will she was of I'M
sound mind.
A servant said that Mrs. Mclean some
times drank three bottles of liquor in a
day. but Mr.. Mclean stated that he never
suspected his wife of over-indulgence.
The jury found that the will was pro-
cured by Mr.. Mclean from his wife by
circumvention, and set it aside on that
ground. #s4 s4fe - "a = =

ST. LOUIS, 10, Sept. 24.-The third
Of the four butter tests to determine
first award in the worlds fair butter
contest was finished today. The test
has been in progress for a week and
the 1872 packages Of creamery and 80
packages of dairy butter were tested
by the judges. S. w. Laird, of Walker,
Iowa. and w. B. Johnson, of Arlington,
Iowa, secured the highest score in the
test, each grading 9SA. o. P. Jensen,
of Bloomington Prairie, Mimi, was sec
ond, with score of SO.
The highest grade in creamery print

stead, Mimi, his score being SO. The

score Of 81, was second.
The highest score In the dairy butter
competition was secured by Mrs. J. H.

racuse, Ind, was second, with score
of s5

score in this test, also tied with two
Minnesota buttermakers for first place
in the last test. The top score in that
test was 9S1a, but, considering the sea-
son of the year, the score of 9SA, made
in the test just finished, is said to be
equally as good

situation on the Hun river remains in
an uncertain condition. One CORE
spondent wires from Mukden that the
greatest uncertainty prevails as to
whether Gen. Kuropatkin will accept
or refuse battle with the Japanese.
Another correspondent telegraphing
from Hardin says it is rumored that a
Japanese column is moving up the Lao
river and threatening Tie Pass. Mean
while the advance of the main Japa-
nese forces continues, though slowly.
The general staff has not received a
report of the fighting on Sept. 90 at
Sanlunys, mentioned in a report by
Marquis Oyama, who asserted that the
Japanese drove the Russians north
Marquis .Oyama, in the same dispatch,
referred to the fight at Da Pass, which,
it now turns out, is held by portions of
Gen.. Mitchekof and Gen. Sansomoff
divisions. He omits to mention that in
the engagement the Japanese were
twice repulsed with heavy loss.

Further details received of the fight
at Da pass say that on the evening Of
Sept. 10 the Russian scouts reported
strong japanese forces to be moving
behind the pass. Da pass was occu-
pied by Gen. Mitchekos and Gen. ST.
monoh's troops. They allowed the
Japanese to approach within a short
distance and then fired volleys and
made a counter attack, routing and
driving back the Japanese, who ran,
throwing away their guns and ammu-
milton. They were pursued by the
Russian cavalry.
Having received 'reinforcements, the
Japanese again advanced against the
russians, at the same time endeavering
to turn the latter's TANKS, though the
main attack was directed on the Rus
sian center. This attack was repulsed
and the Russian cavalry again pursued
the Japanese, securing many prisoners,
most OF whom were wounded.

of outposts, which Gen. Kuropatkin did
not think deserving of special mention.
It is interesting, however, to note the
presence of a Japanese column at this
point, and confirms the statement that
Japanese were moving fourth army
from Dziantchan. Sanlunys is ten
miles west of Da Pass on a short
cut between Dziantchan and Mukden.
The report of the arrival of several
shiploads Of provisions, medicine and
ammunition at Port Arthur is causing
the liveliest satisfaction and strength
ems the conviction that the fortress
can hold out The ability of vessels to
enter Port Arthur is taken to indicate
that the Japanese blockade is by no
means so effective as in the earlier
stages Of the war.

Ignorant That Reptiles Were
at Their Feet

NEW YORK. Sept. 24.-Mrs. Raymond
l.. Ditmars, wife of the curator of rep
tiles in the New York geological park, by
her GOODNESS prevented a great deal of eX
element on a West Shore train. Rattle

thanks to Mrs. Ditmar's quick wit, her
fellow passengers did not know it, and
there was no mad rush to escape.

Returning from several weeks trip In

Guiding many large rattlers.
All the snakes were brought to the city
in wooden boxes, which were carefully
carried by the men of the party. Before
the train had neared this city Mrs. Dit
mars felt something crawling over her
foot, and, without attracting the atten-
ton Of the other travellers, glanced down
and saw large RATHER.
She quietly told Mr.. Ditmars, and, fear
ing that panic might be caused in the
car should the passengers learn of the
presence of the reptile, he graSped the
snake tightly around the neck, and. as
his wife opened the window, dropped it
from, the train Mr.. Ditmars then made
an examination to discover how the rat

hole through which It had crawled.
This he closed, meantime wondering
what would happen next.

Earthquakes Accompany Eruption,
Which Throws Stones 1900 Feet

NAPLES, Sept. 24.-The population
Of this city is somewhat alarmed by
the increased eruption of Mount Vesu-

large number of Americans, have been
attracted to Naples by the outbreak

operation Of the road being unsafe.
The eruption is accompanied by
earthquakes, which are felt to a dis

passengers, and that the latter, if they be-

whole snake party or the snakes be put
off the train.
Fortune, however, favored the snake
