MAX IS MADE DESPERATE.

1kAA AZ A.
Max had been in town some weeks
and was feeling very much pleased
with himself. He had already met q
couple Of old college friends, who In he
plentiful leisure allowed by their stud
les for the bar, were not averse to hands
at whist and games of poker, and he
had made himself pleasant to his fellow
students at the hospital in whose com-
pany he enjoyed himself; so that he
was far from feeling lonely, or allowing
his thoughts to dwell persistently on
the inmates of Knowlesworth hall.
He was particularly llght-hearted
and self-satisfied one afternoon when.
having left the hospital, hi crossed
Westminster bridge and took his way
through st. James's park with the in
tention Of calling on a friend.
With the red light shining In his
eyes, Max scarcely recognized a famil-
lar figure coming toward him, until 1t
was close at hand. Had there been n
means of escape he would have taken
1T, but there was not, with great pres
ence Of mind he hurried forward with
outstretched hand to meet Lord Sur
reymore.

cessive friendliness, II have been won

or when l should see you, and here you
are. Funny isn't it?"

reymore replied, with a GOODNESS that
sharply contrasted the others etfusive-

you long ago, but I'll tell you why l

and confidential air. II lost every pen

and felt ashamed to let you know what

Surreymore had expected to receive
some excuse for not receiving the sum
he could badly afford to lend, which
was given under pressure and in a
weak moment that he had ever since
regretted.

German Army Abuses Again.
The case against Corporal Peschel,
who some time ago was found guilty
and sentenced to prison on 376 COM
plants of abusing private soldiers. has
had an %epiIogue.
One of the soldiers, a private named
FUCHS. who had been most brutally
treated by Peschel, was n of the chief
witnesses against the corporal.
On the advice of his father Fuchs had
kept a complete diary of all hat hap
pened in the regiment. He had filed
five volumes with the daily notes,
which he had given the title of
Memoirs of a Private Artillerist." When
officers it was the evident sincerity and
of these notes which more
anything else served to convict the
corporal.
But h other day Fuchs himself APP
peared as accused before a court
martial charged with having used dis
respectful language about his officers in
his diary.
With a courage that has won for
him the admiration of every justice
loving man in Germany, he declared
that he needed no attorney, as he was
able to defend himself.

THE RESULT.

The first person to reach the scene
of the tragedy was Urbano, the counts
valet, who While dressing his master
had accidentally looked through the
window just at the instant when Max
had turned the revolver against his
breast. Without waiting to say a word
he had rushed from the house into the

creasing stain showing where the
blood welled from his s~elf-inHicted

THE REILLY WILL
aatssr Went Over sor a Week ana
 Estate Nill Bs Sold.

There was n hearing In the probate court this morning on the will of the late Miss Margaret Reilly. Attorney Thoms representing the family Of Henry GalIlgan, one of the heirs, ask. ed for the appointment of three ap- praisers in order to get what he called proper estimate of the value of the estate. When the matter first came to the attention Of the court few weeks ago Attorney J. J. O'NeIll and John II, Phelan, real estate agent were appointed appraisers and they held the estate which consists Of u house on Dover street and a lot on Merry street to be worth $2,S0O. At torney Thoms thought it ought to be worth more, at least $3,O00. In case, he said, of appeal and an attempt to break the will, he wished to have his clients protected
 Attorney O'Neill representing the rest of the heirs, did not like the idea of attempting to break the will, be- cause if an attempt were made it would mean that nothing would be left for the heirs when the courts and the lawyers got through with it s However, the specified legacies would have to be paid, and, even were there another appraisal the Galligans would get only a few dollars more at the most
 Attorney Russell, representing the will advised settlement without re- course of law. He thought all con- cerned would be better off in the end If they take that course. After good deal Of talk it was decided to let the matter go oyer a week and meantime to have the estate sold if possible. Then the question of dis tribution will come up, and Mfr ThoIns will inform the court whether or not his clients will undertake to break the will

SIDEWALKS AND SNOW.
Property Owners Must Fay while the
 PahiiC Ma.Ks By.

Owners of property abutting on sidewalks are having hard time
 cleaning them this winter. The last snow storm lasted so long people
 didn't have a chance to remove 1t be-
 fore it got frozen to the ground and
 when that happens 1t is difficult job
 to get rid of it. It costs almost as much to clean the walks as it does to keep the streets in repair and even at that the work is not attended to as 1t should be. At first thought one
 might feel inclined to call this a ridiculous statement,
 but when you stop to conJ sider the large number of people em- ployed in cleaning and sanding walks for three or four months in the year 1t will be seen that the expense is enormous All this work is perform
 ed on public property by private indi- viduals for the safety and convenience of the whole community. Probably 1t would be hard to improve upon that particular phase of municipal work,
 but something should be done to les sen the expense upon those who are obliged to do it. There is no fairness in compelling few citizens to build,
 repair and clean the sidewnlks of Wa terbury. Such an order i5 manifestly
 unfair to owners of real estate. The public should bear share Of this great outlay and the legislative enact ment passed two years ago providing that repairs on the walks be made by the city was a short step in the right direction, but it seems the politicians don't want to do even that and are now aiming to knock 1t out and go back to the old plan of saddling che entire burden on few, This subject is entitled to a great deal Of consider ation. More people use the sidewalks than use the streets. Both belong to the public and it is eminently fair that all should pay to keep them in proper condition. To do otherwise is nothing more than scheme to get at real estate owners from various sources, the collector of taxes, the su- perintendent of streets and the courts. Everybody wants good sidewalks, but those who contribute nothing toward the expense incident to keeping them up have no right to expect the servlce,
 but as rule they are the ones who do most of the faultinding. Owners of property should be heard on this question as well as the politicians. A man who comes down with 15 or 16 mill tax for public Improvements ought not he obliged to do sidew alk repairing and settle for 1t himself. Why not go farther and hold him re- sponsible for the condition of the street abutting on his property9 "A man has no more right to what is termed the sitsswaik than he has to the part of the highway known as the street, but the law says he shall build the walk and keep it clean. It seems that is not sufficient. He is to be made repair 1t. If justice were done in the premises he would have no more to ! do with the walk than with the street
 John F. Kellogg and Colonel Burpee are said to be outlining proposed changes on this and other municipal affairs, and as both these gentlemen know that the sidewalks are the prop erIy of the city they should govern their conduct accordingly and put the expense of the work where 1t belongs.
