widow. Margaret A. Snyder, dated September
10Th, 1903. and which was admitted to probate

The circumstances under which the caveat is
filed are somewhat unusual and peculiar.
The late Joseph r. Snyder made last will
and testament dated April 18th, 1869. which
was admitted to probate in the Orphans
Court on January 18th, 1874. Mr.. Snyder left
a widow, but no children or descents and
neither father nor mother, but sister, Caroline
Wyse. and brother, Richard b. Snyder.
After some disposition of his property and
widow, Margaret A. Snyder, with authority to
make disposition of it by deed or will during
her life falling in which two-thirds of his
estate was to go to the children of his sister,
Caroline Wyse, and his brother, Richard II.
Snyder, and one-third to Rufus l. Lakeland in
trust for Louisa Moore Parker, sister of his
wife and to her children living at the time of
the death of the mother.
When Margaret A. Snyder was about 80 years
old she made the will, which is the subject OF
the caveat, under which, after certain be-
quests, she gives the whole of the residue OF
her estate to a niece by the name of Mary L.
Parker. She remembered by small legacies
Conkling, who are the petitioning caveatees OF
her late husband.

Margaret A. Snyder did not exercise during her
lifetime the right of disposition Of the property
and estate devised and bequeathed her by her
died in the enjoyment of all the property and
estate so received by her from him.
1t is alleged in the caveat that at tine time of
the execution of the will she was not capable of
executing valid deed or contract and was not
of sound disposing mind and understanding.
by the exercise of undue influence and fraud
practised upon the testatrix and that she died
intestate.
The court is asked to revoke the order grant
ing letters testamentary to Mary l.. Parker,
who, in addition to being the residuary legatee
under the will of Margaret A. Snyder, is also
named as the sole executrix of it; and the
court is further asked to appoint administrators
pendente.
An inventory has been filed by the executrix,
showing in her possession the sum of S87, 49,
belonging to the estate of the late Mrs. Snyder,
who resided for many years before her death
at the Stafford Hotel.

Judge Duncan on "Good Citizenship. p
Judge Duncan, of Baltimore county, delivered
an address on Good Citizenship" ON Monday
night last, before the Mems Association Of
Harlem Park M. e. Church, Baltimore. His
theme was the good that would be accomplished
if all churches had such clubs or associations.
! IF all the churches had them," said Judge
Duncan, 1.-THE good that would eventually be
is almost beyond conception.
The city is composed of neighborhoods, and if
such an influence as this association is were to
be placed in all neighborhoods, the entire city
would be benefited. After ALL it is neighbor-
hood government that counts. When man
is elected to an Office frequently large per-
centage of the people i'll the ward he represents
denounce him as unqualified to fill the position.
Ask them: Did you attend the primaries and
use your influence to keep him out of the Eosi-
toni? The reply will invariably be No
Then who is to blame?
ut was years ago and is largely today the
belief that the element of citizens to be feared
comes from the lower Glass; that anarchists
are to be found in red shirts and congregating
in alleys, but it appears now that the greatest
enemies to the governments may live in palaces
and control the finances of the countries. The
much talked-of 'muck-rake' has been making
so many disagreeable disclosures that the
President took occasion to give his opinion OF
the man with the muck rake
ut makes no difference how many good
citizens there are in this or any other commu-
nity--if they do not unite and work in har-
mony in any given direction for the accom-
plishment of any particular end, of course their
efforts will be non-effective."

determination of mosquitoes will again be
taken up, and since these insects are now
known 10 be carriers of malaria and yellow
fever, and perhaps other less serious ailments.
their presence is no longer tolerated with the
indifference that once existed. However, so
many bright minds have been working on
methods of determination that the present
seasons campaign will be much more eff
fective than in the past, especially as regards
house fumigation.
Prof. Minis, of New Orleans, one of the ex-
perts engaged during the recent yellow fever
scare, has discovered a new fumigant, for in.
terror use, which has received the approval OF
the United States marine hospital service.
The new agent has been named "culicide, ;
and is a mixture of equal parts of carbolic acid
CRYSTALS and camphor, made up in q solution,
and evaporated by means of an alcohol lamp
Four ounces of this mixture is sufficient to ex-
terminate all insects, such as house flies, mos
ouitoes, reaches, etc., in room of 1000 cubic
feet capacity. The solution may be put in an
enameled wash basin and supported on piece
of stove pipe placed over the alcohol lamp.
Evaporation is very rapid, twenty minutes
being sufficient for application to an ordinary
room. and at the end of that time the room
NAV be entered and the windows and door
opened for ventilation without danger or par
ticular discomfort.
