Although it is several days since the
will OF Mary Almarolia the wealthy
negress. who left her property to her
two white foster children. was offered
for probate no other steps have been
taken toward the settlement of her
estate
1t was rumored last week that two
children of a foster sister Of Mrs. Alma
rolia would protest the probation Of her
will and claim the estate as next Of
kin. but they have not yet taken any
action along this line.

foster sons. the Alexander boys, declare
she left no kin who have any legal
claim 10 any of her property.

generally known that Lewis and 10
eSph Alexander. as she called her fOS-
ter children. were the offspring Of
proud and wealthy families i'm the
South.
Mother Now Dead.
The mother of Lewis is now dead, but
it is said before she died she prepared
a statement which she left with Lewis
Alexander which Will prove his parent
age, and also his right 10 inherit valu-
able property on his fathers side.
The property i'm which Michael Sinner
invested his money is in Southeast
Washington. and is now improved by
five dwellings. II is. however. iuvolved
In a law suit, which was begun by
Mrs. Almarolia few months before she
died. The estate is valued at about
$1,000

 REVISION OF THE TARIFF.

The senator would not say that ne expected to get such a plank into the platform as he clearly understood the stand patters" are m control and will likely have matters their own way. However, he is deter mined to make a fight before the com mittee for the insertion of q revision plank.

Sergeant Stone and members of the local com mittee expressed themselves today as being of the opinion that it was che best arranged hall in which a republ . can convention had been held for many years.
