FOLLOWS J. HENRY SMITH.
HERE TO PRESS HIS SUIT.
EngIishman Claims 100000 Of
Estate of Brokers' Rich Uncle

Benjamin Netteton OakeshOtt, Of London, who
brought suit last February in this country
against James Henry Smith for 100000 is in
this city to press his action Mr.. Smith arrived
here on Wednesday of last week on the belated
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. While that steamer
weatherng at the slow speed of eight knots
an hour the storm which made her twenty-four
hours late. Mr.. Smith in all probability did not
know that Mr. Oakeshott was following close
behind on the Majestic
The Majestic reached her pier last Thursday.
and the name of benjamin Nettleton Oake-
shott appeared the additional passenger list.
Persons familiar with the suit of last February
suggested that the arrival of the two men with
in a day of each other was by no means a coin
cidence. but that Mr.. Oakeshott had known of
Mr.. Smiths movements and determined to fol-
low him. The fact that Mr. Oakeshott's name
the additional passenger list might be
construed that he left Liverpool in a hurry
learning that Mr.. Smith had sailed the
Kaiser.
According to the counsel for Mr.. Oakeshott
the hearing of the Iatter's suit for S5OOOOO will
be held in the Supreme Court in the early part
of next month.
over year ago George Smith, uncle of
James Henry Smith died in London and left
the bulk OF mis- fortune, which amounted TO
many millions, to his two nephews James Henry
Smith, of ChlS Clty, ana George Alexander
Cooper of London Smiths share of the estate
amounted TO S4OOOOOO0 A few legacies
paid after the death of the elder Smith. Ac-
cording to counsel for Mr.. Oakeshott, who had
been confidential secretary to the elder Smith.
il was understood that he was to receive 5000,
600 for his services as co-eXeCutor.
Mi Oakeshotts counsel contends that as the
securities of the estate were in America Messrs.
Smith and Cooper had them transferred TO Eng
land and had the executors fee deducted from
the securities to avoid the transfer tax on that
amount 1t is alleged that Mr.. Cooper and Mr. |
Smith afterward induced Mr.. Oakeshott to sign |
a release of the executors fee It is alleged also
that the will of George Smith was then proved
in England, and. according to English law the
executor is not entitled to fee. The plaintiff
contends that the viii could have been proved
in America, where Mr.. Oakeshott would be en-
titled to his fee IS co-executor

Washington Nov. 23.-The State Department
has directed the American Charge dAffaires al
Havana to call the attention of the Cuban
government to the frfghtfuI sanitary conditions
at Santiago and other places in the island and
to express the hope that prompt and thorough
relief will be forthcoming. A recent report re-
cetved here shows serious condition Of the
streets in Santiago It is said that there is
practically no drainage, and that water is al
lowed TO stand in the streets for days at
time.
1t was said tonight that the communication
of the State Department to the Cuban govern
ment is emphatic in character, and is intended
TO impress that government with the desire of
the United States for an Immediate remedying
of the conditions
The reason for the energetic action Of the
State Department was that the Marine Hospi-
tai service had reported the appearance of vel
low fever at several places in Cuba. and 1t was
feared that there might be an outbreak in some

point, and now-just as MIR. Starline
Witherly began to despair. She had
wasted two years upon a clergyman
which she might have spent more
profitably, for she had driven from her
a very respectable farmer with serious
lntensions, and he had married some
one else.
This morning false report that Mr..
Starline was counting Rosa Rhubarb,
the doctors daughter, had reacl ed her,
and she was very cross. Moreover, her
dear crony, the Widow Lane, had come
TO stay all day. Every woman has one
crony in the world before whom she
plays no part. Over late lunch, Miss
Witherly was talking to Mrs. Lane as
she talked to no one else, when the
clergyman arrived, and a new servant,
who was not acquainted with the gen
tleman, thus announced him:
"a man wants you, Miss Witherly."
"Old Hopper, | suppose" said Miss
Witherly. II promised TO send his wife
some clothes; put him anywhere. Jane,
out Of the way until can eat my
lunch, for 1 don't disturb myself for
any one to-day"
And Jane, returning to Mr.. Starline,
escorted him to the parlor, where every
word that was spoken in the dining
room was plainly audible.
The clergyman seated himself in the
largest armchair, which was near the
communicating door, and folded his
hands and waited. He was composing
an ornate proposition. He had got as
far as: my dear and respected Miss
Witherly, you may have remarked,
when suddenly sharp voice smote his
ear with these words, "Old Starline.
Old Starlinei He could scarcely be
lieve his ears. Involuntarily he leaned
a little nearer the door and heard the
words repeated.
1T must be some one else of the
same name. I'm not old" said Mr.
Starline.
ITS nobody's business, I'm sure,
said Miss Witherly.

One very interesting claim paid few
days ago was for the loss of a parcel
containing $2,700 in bank notes ship
ped through the mails by a Canadian
institution. The destination was a
small postoffice, where the business
was so light that the postmaster. not
having the use Of a safe in which tC
store valuables, was forced to take
home every night undeiivered register
ed mail that arrived during the day
The package of bank notes was taker
out OF the office in this way, and just
before the postmaster reached home he
was attacked by footpads and relieved
of the money. The loss was immedi
ately reported and the insurance com
pany at once reimbursed the institu

HIGHER EDUCATION OF WOMAN.
1t Makes Them More Independent and
Se1f-Supporting.

Self-Supporting.
The higher education OF women
marks the greatest social advance
that this country has made during the
last half century. During that time
we have come to make a general ap-
plication of the Delphic inscription.
Know myself" We are giving both
sexes the benefit of it. 1t is not the
least but one of the greatest advan-
tages of this higher education that the
woman of to-day does know herself
much better than did her mother or
grandmother, and with that self
knowledge comes a better under
standing of her relations to the world
about her.
The college girl of to-day is health
Ter, stronger, saner, more independent
more resolute and more useful than
were the social butterflies or the
household drudges of her grandmoth-
er's time. In the experimental stages
of this new development there may
have been danger, but the education
of the body as well as Of the mind, is
now well looked after in all our girls
colleges, indeed, much better than in
colleges for the other sex. Their ex-
ercise is regular and not carried to
excess, and the percentage of illness
In these institutions is generally
much less than 1t is among the same
number of girls of equal condition out
side of them.
We don't know whether as large a
proportion OF college girls marry as.
of those who finish their education
earlier. Perhaps not. They don't
have to. That very independence OF
which we have spoken gives them
more latitude. Moreover. as a rule, 1t
takes more OF a man to marry the
educated than the uneducated girl,
but when the right one applies there
is no danger that she will be afraid
of him, while, other things being
equal, he is especially fortunate in his
choice. II there is any one thing that
has come to stay and broaden in it's
application, It is the higher education
of women.
