LEAVES THE SCHOOLS
HIS VALUABLE SPECIMENS
Edward l. Briggs Remembers the
Public I'm Distributing His
Worldly Belongings.

OAKLAND, Dec. 6.-By giving
space to specimens of shells, minerals
and natural history the Oakland
School Department may obtain a val
liable collection left by the late Ed
ward L. Briggs, who makes provision
in his viii. filed to-day. 10 the effect
that if the Board of Education will
properly house the various cases in
the High School and call it the Cor
della. F. Briggs collection" it may
have the things which he has been a
lifetime in gathering.
The deceased died recently at his
home at 663 Eleventh street, leaving
an estate valued at SIS. zoe. OF this
amount $3.50 consists of stock in
the Grand Rapids National Bank.
There are two life insurance policies.
amounting TO $4,000 and a promissory
note for $3.50 and other personal
property. The bulk of the estate goes
TO his brother, Charles S. Briggs of
Grand Rapids. and a sister, Clara a.
Collins of this city. Josephine S.
Steketee, a niece, residing in this city,
is left $4,000. and the balance of the
estate is divided among nephews and
nieces.

PASSES FROM EARTH WITH
But A SINGLE MOURNER
Eva Ray Hamilton. Who Figured in
Sensational Case, Dies in
New York.

NEW YORK, Dec. eva Ray
Hamilton, alleged TO be the notorious
woman whose career was linked with
the tragic death OF Robert Ray Ham
nton. is dead. She died on November
% last in a charity ward in st. Vim
cents Hospital, and was buried in the
common plat in Mount Olivet Gene
terry. No funeral service was held, and
her coffin, box Of cheap stained wood,
was lowered into its resting place with
out a word.
Only one mOurned her death, a man,
who had been known in the house
where she lived as Mr. Hamilton" >"
her husband, although he frankly ad-
mitted that his name was assumed. He
says he knows that she was Eva Ray
Hamilton, and says that at later date
he will offer letters and documents TO
prove il. Those who saw the woman in
her last days say they would have
recognized her from the newspaper
pictures in spite of the fact that her
beauty had faded. her cheeks sunken
and her hair had become snow white.
Forty-sevsn was her age as given on
the death certificate, although owing
TO the lines which suffering and dissi-
patton had left on her face, she seemed
to be ten or fifteen years older.
II viii be recalled that Robert Ray
Hamilton, her husband, was murdered
in the West and the woman claimed
his property. The suit was settled fol-
$4,000.
The San Francisco call., 1904-12-07

LONDON, Dec. 6.-When it was ru-
mored last August that DR.. Ellicott,
Bishop of Gloucester, was about to va
cate his see, the aged prelate gave
vigorous denial to the story. His ap-
preaching retirement is now authori-
tatively announced.
Born eighty-five years ago, with a
record of forty-one years service on
the Episcopal bench, he is easily the
doyen of Anglican Bishops Until a
very recent period his physical and
mental strength seemed little impaired
by the assaults of time. For many years
ne was one of the most ardent of AL
pine climbers, and when he was nearly
seventy he crossed the Aletsch Glacier
alone and in a snowstorm. AT dinner
that same night he made light of his
adventure
A hard worker all his life and proud
of his health and strength, he has at
last reluctantly yielded to the persua-
sions of his friends that he should de-
vote what remains of his life to the
rest he has so richly earned.
To him, more than to anybody else
the church is indebted for the Revised
Version" of the New Testament At
Cambridge, IN his young days, he de-
voted himsef to its historical study.
Bringing to his task. as the years went
by, the accommodations of a profound
scholarship and intimate acquaintance
with Hebrew literature, he became
convinced of the necessity for a new
translation, but he feared that he
could not arouse sufficient interest and
sympathy in the project to obtain the
sanction of the church for the work,
and it was more or less as a forlorn
hope that he induced Bishop Wilber-
force to bring the matter before the con-
vocation in 1870. To his surprise and
qualification a committee was appoint
ed to undertake the task, of which, as
the man best fitted for the position,
he was made chairman.
1t has been said that he possesses
a gold pass that enables him to travel
