should be ordained priest; $500 to the Lit
tie Sisters of the Poor, $500 Ito ST. AIMS

cred Heart Church, 14th street and Whit
ney avenue.
Michael Feeney and John F. Feeney
brothers of the testatrix, and Julia Dumb
gan, her niece, entered objections to the
admitting of the will to probate. They
commended that under section 1885 of the
code of the District of Columbia. a bequest
to a religious sect or denomination, or to a
minister Of the gospel, such, shall be
to the death of the. testator. 1t was pointed
out that the will of Mrs. Feeny was exc
cuted less than thirty days before her de-
mise.

that the bequest of $500 to James Conner
for masses, and that of the remainder of
the estate, after paying the other requests,
to Father McGee are void, but that the be-
quests to the Little Sisters of the Poor and
is directed that distribution be made in ac-
cordance with the ruling of the court

DIRECTORS. and Attorneys A. A. Birney and

MONTGOMERY GREYs'
 THIRTEENTH Al


 Sustaining their splendid reputation for notably brilliant balls, the Mont gomedy Greys entertained at the thir- teenth annual ball of the organization on Friday evening and perhaps may be said to have broken their own wonder Ful record. Given in the Auditorium and witnessed by thousands of specta- tors the scene was one of unusual splendor, in which entered gorgeously gowned beautiful women, men in of- ficer's uniforms, soldier boys in full regalia. palms, bunting and flowers. The decorations were elaborate and artistic and filled with beautiful effect the immense building. Every availa- bie bit Of space was beautified by some appropriate design which told 1t was a military affair The stage was set with tents, stacks of guns and im- posing canons. the centre one of which was shooting a cluster of American beauty roses instead of deadly lead. Masses of palms filled the spaces be- tween this war-ilke feature and back of them was stationed a band which discoursed music punctuated with the firing of guns. On the back ground of the stage were draped the national flags and in the centre the monogram M c. in mammoth proportions was fashioned in white against a green background. Over of the front arch of the stage hung an arch curtain of green on which was written Montgom- cry Greys Thirtieth Annual Ball. 1895. Tn the centre of the Auditorium over the ball room hung an inverted cone from which was suspended ball both in white. From this streamers of bunting, smilax and electric lights were stretched to the balcony, forming a gigantic canopy over the brilliant scene of dancers. Around the balcony army blankets, rifles. and knapsacks formed a War-like border. At either side of the stage on a background of white decorated in red were hung the prize strsamers won by the Greys in the various contests in Philadelphia, I.ouisville, Mobile. Columbus.

 The number of lights used were over 500. 4-S-16 candle power, with four colors, red. white, green and blue. On the arch of the Montgomery Greys Annual Ball of 1905" there were 100 16 candle power lights. the streamer from one end of the balcony to the other. were 126 16 candle power lights. all other lights were hung in mid air, supported from the steel rafters above, in the center was a large ball three feet in diameter. covered with 100 A. candle power red lights, this ball was hung from an inverted cone with three feet base and five foot high, covered with 60 S-candle power red lights. radiating from the base of this invert- ed cone were ten other streamers with over 200 lights of red, white, green and blue colors. On the back of the stage

the large monogram "M. G." was light
 ed with 50 white 16-candie power lights. There were 25O flashing lights done by the use of a motor in connection with flasher. This flasher arrangement was home made. the work Of the electrician. It first flashed the monogram M. G." white lights, then the bottom of the large arch of red. white and green lights, then red lights on the white ball and cone in the center of the ball room, then monogram arch and so continuing. The use of the green lights was a novelty. One of the features of the ball was a visit to the switch room where this beautiful electric work was controlled. 1t took fifteen large switches to start up the lights at the signal of the grand march, which was given at g o'clock. When the bugle call announced that the ball would open hundreds of guests formed into marching line led by Captain shep-
 ard Roberts of the Greys and Miss An nte Lowe gDonBoT of the company.

OLD FASHIONED GARDENS
 AKn nIn TIME


 A great deal is being said in our home papers about civic improvement. It sounds very sensible, entirely sea- onable-some of 1t Is very pretty. and much of it Is quite progressive.
 Is it permissible to Offer a sugges- tion to the good women who wish to give us a fine up-to-date city? May word be said for the restoration of the old fashioned gardens where bloomed the mignotte. lilac and jasmine beside the fragrant multihora and lady bank sia roses which clambered on trellises or overarched the summer houses with their rustic benches? Could any thing be a lovelier addition to civic beauty than one of these old yards where pink oleanders blushed under stately magnolias, pomegranates famed beside the purple virgins bow CT. and the crepe myrtle, many-hued, shed it's petals. sweet scented on the sunny air?
