The st, Louis Post-Dispatch 6
few days ago gave Mrs. j b. Hawk

That there is an undivided es-

Solomon Fisher, Il son of the IT,
tied German, and Il great-grand-
father of Mrs. Hawkins, became
involved in an infraction of the
poaching laws of the Fatherland
and fled to America, finally set
Ting in Kentucky. He afterward
moved to Pike county, Missouri,
where he died, leaving a long line
Of descendants and some little
property. Mrs. Hawkins is Il
daughter of MaximiIla Fisher
Mace, who descended directly from
the erring son of Baron Fisher.
Mrs. Hawkins states that the
family has been working for the
recovery of the estate for about II
years, that an attorney, whose
name she declines to give, butIwhO,
it is understood, lives in Boon
vile, Mo-, has made two trips 10
Germany to conduct the investiga-
ton.
Mrs. Hawkins is a mOtherly
woman, living in comfort and
some degree of affiuence. Her
husband is minister physician
and their family numbers several
children, and two or three grand
children. Mrs. Hawkins says she
thinks her portion of the estate
will be counted in seven figures.
Among the heirs who will share
in the event Mrs. Hawkins con-
nection is clearly established are:
Adam Fisher, Mrs. Biah Duncan
and Mrs. Edward jackson, all of
Frankford, Mo-, and like Mrs.
Hawkins great grandchildren of
Solomon Fisher. There are many
heirs among the Hayden families
of Rails and Surrounding coun-
ties, where three daughters of Sol

thousand persons on the subject
Of "DemOcra cy."
Mr.. Bryan dicussed the changes
that have been wrought in the
Democratic party since the st.
Louis convention. He expressed
the belief that the country is ready
for radical Democracy" having
had enough of the conservative
Democracy at the last presidential
election.
He stated that the Democratic
party is adopting some of the best
principles of the Socialist and Pop
ulist parties, but said that the
Democrats would never indorse
Socialism as a whole, as it repre-
sents only a class.
Mr.. Bryan is OF the opinion that
President Roosevelt is something
of Democrat himself, stating that
most of the Presidents acts that
have brought him popular applause
have been Democratic.
The country, said Mr.. Bryan, is
gradually adopting Democratic
painciples, and even the Republic
cans to suit the people, must re-
cognize this fact.
Mr.. Bryan said that he is not
prepared to take back anything he
had said on the free silver ques-
ton. He believes the position of
the silver Democrats has been
sustained by events subsequent to
the election of 1900.
The discovery of large quaint
ties Of gold in Alaska, he said, had
added 80 per cent to the money
supply Of this country and thus re-
lieved financial troubles, which the
Democrats maintained were due to
the scarcity of money.
