Twenty Million Dollar Estate Has Mar

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-The $20,000,000
estate Of Levi z. Letter has narrowly
escaped passing into the hands of
the public admin 'strator for the rea-
son that it was probated in Washing
ton, D. c., instead of in Cook county,
Ills, where most of the property is
located.
A Swede, who worked in one of Lett

damages and as no auxiliary admins
traitor had been appointed in Illinois,
the case was passing to the public ad-
ministrator wnen Joseph Letter, warn
ed of the danger, FASTENED to Chicago
from the mining town Of Ziegler and
had himself appointed auxiliary ad-
ministrator.
There is considerable curiosity as
to the reasons for probating the will
in Washington. Although the home of

mated that Of the $4,000, 900 at which
his estate is valued fully $15,OOO,0OO is

DRILLS FOR THE UNITED
STATES ARMY.
Planned Upon Recommendation Made
BY Officers Who Witnessed the
Late Japanese Russian War.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 29.-The
announcement has just been made that
the new manual for the sabre and bay
onet drills for the army, on which the
officers of the general staff have been
working for some weeks will soon be
given out. Hitherto these manuals
have called for mucn skill on the part
Of the enlisted men, so much, indeed,
that few of them were ever able to ac-
quire the art of welding either weapon
in a satisfactory manner. 1t is pro-
posed to omit from the new manuals
everything of a fancy fencing charac-
ter, such as is taught in the private
drill rooms. 1t is intended that there
shall be return to the simplest meth
DDS, and that everything shall be on
the most practical and useful basis.
Both weapons are intended for use in
time of war, especially the bayonet
The officers who have been on duty in
anese armies have furnished special
reports on the subject to the general
staff and such experts as Capt. Her
man J. Koah1er, the master of the
sword at the military academy, and
Civil Engineer Cunningham, of the
navy, who is an expert swordsman and
who has had charge of the naval acad-
envy fencing the last year, have also
given valuable advice along the line in
Dictated. The war department recently
adopted new type of sabre, which will
be kept with sharpened edge and car
ried in a wooden scabbard. A new
bayonet was adopted several weeks ago
based on the results of the observa-
tons of our military attaches with the
troops in Mancnuria.

ARRESTED AS PATRICIDE,
Children Accused of Murderina Their
Father at Granite Hill,

GRANTS PASS, Or, Sept 2S.-Af.
ter diligent inquiry, authorities have
become convinced that V. M. Jennings
who was found murdered in bed in hi:
home at Granite Hill two weeks ago
was killed by his own children. Jas.
per Jennings, aged Is, son of the dead
man, was arrested Sunday on the
charge of murder, and last night Dora
Jennings, aged Is, the daughter, was
arrested upon similar charge The
couple have been taken to Jacksonville
for safekeeping, as the local Jail is
overcrowded.
Jennings was killed the night OF
Sept. at the Granite Hill mine, nine
miles from this city. He was a wood
chopper and had a contract to sup
ply the mine with cordwood, working
a crew of Is men. He was SO years old
and had a wife, who left him last
spring to return to her parents in
North Carolina.
He lived in a three-room house at
me mine with his children, Dora,
aged IS, her sister, aged 8, and two
boys, Is and IA years of age respec-
lively. He slept in a small room
downstairs off the living room The
two girls slept in the same room.
The boys slept in the attic.
The youngest son said that when
he arose to build the fire ne went into
the bedroom for matches and found
his father dead, shot through the
head with rifle. The boy awakened
his sisters ana brother and the neigh
bors were notified.
The windows and doors of the
house were found closed, and there
was no evidence that the shot had
been fired from the outside. The
children said that they had not heard
a shot, but man working in the mine
said that he heard a shot about /
o'clock
Jennings was hard worker and
hard drinker. None of the children
seemed to be in the least affected by
the loss of their father.

story. 1t is stated that the dates on
which the gifts are said by Carter to

obtained in their fraudulent dealings.

ENORMOUS INCREASE is SHOWN
IN CULTIVATION AND CON-
SUMPTION OF STIMULANT.
Americans Consume About One Half of
the Coffee Produced In the
World.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 29.-The
department of commerce and labor mas
Just given out a monograph on the
Monthly Summary of Commerce. -
published by that department. The
report shows an enormous increase in
the cultivation and consumption of this
stimulant, which is one of the most
striking features of the last quarter of
a century. According to the report
the center of production of coffee,
which is an Indigenous plant of Africa,
may be said to have been transferred
to South and Central America, about
three fourths of the worlds supply be-
ing furnished at present by Brazil.
The terms Mocha and Java, which in
olden times indicated the source Of
origin, have now become mere charac-
teristics of quality and blend.
1t is an interesting fact that the
rate Of consumption wherever coffee
has become part of the popular diet,
tends to INCREASE continually. The con-
sumption in the United States has in
cerased enormously and at present the
Americans consume between two-f1fths
and one-nalf Of all the coffee produced.

army captain, who served five years at
Leavenworth military prison for
sWlndling the government out of more
than s2,000,00O, told Special Examiner

craze which originated in Germany
some years ago, seems to nave found
fertile soil in Great Britain, judging
from the enormous number of such IL
Illustrated post cards mailed every day
in all parts of the United Kingdom. In
this connection considerable comment
has been caused by the fact reported to
the local postal authorities, that after
the recent visit of the British squadron
now in the Baltic, to Holland, over
$4,000 such view post cards were found
in the mail boxes of HARLEM, a small
own near Amsterdam. Practically all
those cards had been mailed by the

Adam Lewis, the negro giant of
Bourbon, is dead. He resided at
Hutchison, this county, on the farm
of Geo. Clayton, and was a market
gardner and peddler. He was six
feet three inches. tall, and weighed
nearly 400 pounds. There was no
coffin in Paris large enough to con-
tain his remains, which necessitated
the order to have one specially con-
structed at Cincinnati. Lewis was 60
years old and enjoyed the respect of

PARIS KENTUCKY, TUESDAY AUGUST 15 1905
Terribly Mangled.

The mangled body of James Stegall,
aged about 40 years, who three years
ago completed his service as a soldier
in the PHILIPPINES, was discovered
Friday morning by the engineer of
the $40 a. m. north bound passenger
train as he passed off the big bridge
near the junction of Mt. Airy and
Houston avenue. The trunk of the
body was wedged between two ties.
1t is supposed that he was in the Mt.
Airy cut when struck, as portions of
body and his clothing were scattered
from that point to the Duncan avenue
bridge. One hand was found on
lower Main street, where it had fell
from the bridge. His head, which
was fearfully lacerated, was hanging
to the trunk by the skin.
The unfortunate man is cousin of
Benz. Steagall, one of the employees
in the city quarries.
1t is supposed Steagall was enroute
to the place of Ora Wagner, where he
was employed, as he was last seen alive
at 10 o'clock Thursday night on
Second street. He probably started
through the deep railroad cut, a few
feet north of County Clerk Ed. Paton's
residence, when he was overtaken by
train of cars, or else was asleep on
