HAD TWO WIVES.
Suit to be Entered to Recover $500
Estate.

The Repository says that Mi
chael Egolf died near Mercersburg
about II month ago, leaving his en-
tire estate, amounting to about
$500 to his wife Rebecca, with
whom he has lived for twenty
years and to whom he was legally
married. Since his death it devel-
oped that he has former wife liy-
ing in Fulton county to whom he
was also legally married and from
whom he never obtained a divorce.
This latter woman has engaged an
attorney who came to Chambers
burg to look up the records and
enter suit in order to set aside the
will, he claiming that his client in
Fulton county is the only woman
to whom Michael Egolf was law
fully married. With this woman
Egolf lived in Fulton county for
several years, when he came to
Franklin county, married the sec
ond wife and has resided with her
ever since.

Increased Demand For Capital.

The fall in prices is due, prl-
mariIy, to the absorption Of capl-
tai the world over. lit were To-
cal to the United States, as some
of the critics of the Administra-
tion would have us believe, it
might be attributed to local caus-
es. In fact, however, it affects
Great Britain, where the price of
1onsols has fallen as low as S04,
or lowe than at any time since
184S; it affects Berlin, where ser
lous banking troubles have been
feared; and even affects Paris,
where the Bank of France car
rles stock of gold which makes
the Paris market almost lmpreg-
nable.
There is simple philosophy to
the monetary situation in these
great markets. 1t is a philoso-
ply which is simple, at least to
the student of political economy,
but unfortunately not all our
statesmen nor even all our finan-
clal writer's are trained econO-
a.ists. The explanation Of high
rates for money all over the world
is that the capital sought for the
creation of new enterprises, like
railway extensions, new rolling
mills, new buildings, and the op-
enlng up of new countries, does
not equal the demand for it. Ev-
cry civilized com mmunlty to day
produces annually not only all
that Is needed for it's immediate
consumptive wants, but a surplus
over for making additions to the
existing equipmentof production.
1t is not money which is lacking
in the sense of gold coin and notes.
1t is a sufficient supply OF raw
material, labor and machinery to
create all these new works. Men
who wish to enter upon such
creations seek to borrow the capl.
tai of others through the form of
banking credits. They find that
those credits ara exhausted or
reduced. They then offer high.

ing to sacrifice them in some cas-
es at reduced prices in order to
take the new. In other words,
the mass of securities, both old
and new, competing for market,
is in excess of the com bined de-
mand for securities at former
prices. Hence the fall IN their

She Knew.

A Washington public school
teacher, was quoting to her pupils
the sayings of various wise men
touching the value of silence on
certain occasions, when she gave
them the proverb to the effect
that we have one mouth and two
ears, in order that we may listen
twice as much as we speak.
A day or so after the instruc-
tion, the teacher, to see how we'll
the lesson had been learned, ask
ed girl pupil the question, as
above.
Little Mabel had forgotten the
philosophers maxim; but the
question did not seem a difficult
one to answer.

should not have room in our lace
for two mouths, and we should
look too crooked II we had only
one ear"
"No, Mabel, = said the teacher,

his death. Mr.. Relsner, who

sorrow among his many friends
here.

LEES FLAG OF TRUCE.

In letter, published on April 9-the
forty-second anniversary of General
Lees surrender correspondent or
the Indianapolis News says: ''Now,
here is a bit of unwritten history.
Hanging on the wall in the home of the
writer, in this city, neatly framed I'M
der glass, is small piece of white cot
ton toweling, about two inches long
and an inch wide. It is a piece of the
white towel used as a flag of truce in
announcing General Lees readiness to
dant in either army in those days, but
this was an emergency that required a
White flag, and one was found. The
flag of truce was received midway be-
tween the two armies by General Gus
ter, the cavalry commander, and was
retained by him as a souvenir. A day
or two after the surrender he sent it to
his wife, who was then in Washington,
and she gave the writer the piece he
now has, cutting it from one corner.
Several years after the war the flag
of truce was loaned by Mrs. Custer for
exhibition at a charity fair in Boston
and attracted much attention There
We're many inquiries about the missing
piece in the corner of the towel, and the
explanation was made in a Boston
paper that it was cut out by Mrs Gus
ter and given to a friend, a day or two
after the flag came into her possession"

GAME SUFFERS FROM COLD.

Throughout the forest districts OF
Bohemia, Moravia and South Germany,
wild deer, hares and cartridges have
suffered severely owing to the long,
hard winter, writes correspondent of
the Pail Mall Gazette. In some parts
the hares are almost extinct, and thou
sands of cartridges have succumbed to
cold and hunger. The larger game have
become so weak that it is doubtful
whether many of them can keep alive
until spring brings green food. Then
there is the further danger that in their
famished condition they may eat too
greedily of the fresh vegetation and
suffer accordingly. Hence the sporting
prospects for next season are by no
means hopeful. For, with probably
greatly diminished bags, the sportsman
will have to pay much higher prices for

THE FLAMING JEWEL
Of kANG VI WEI

NEW YORK, May 11.-Probably no
aroused so much comment as one worn
in the cap of Kang Yu Wei, former
adviser of the Emperor of Chiua. With
his beautiful adughter, Kang Yu Wei
was a guest at a recent peace dinner
in the Waldorf. His gorgeous robes,
proclaiming him a mandarin of the
highest class, the peacock embroidered
on his mantle of turquoise blue, the
curious jewels his daughter wore were
as nothing to the jewel which famed
and flashed in the front of his blue
skull cap, with the pearl button ut its
top.
In contrast with other Chinese Wo-
men, wives of dignitaries, who have
been seen in public in this section Of
the country, like the wife of WI Ting
Fang, the daughter of Kang Yu Wei
had put off her Chinese robes and wore
"a beautiful gown of blue. which was
just as Partisan as was her own French.
The guests paid little attention to any
thing other than the Chinese visitors
until the speaking began.
Kang Yu Wei is grand president of
the Chinese Empire Constitutional AS

the interest of the emperor He las

reform movement, without, however,
arousing the hostility of the dowagcr

were asked what was the history Of
the wonderful jewel Linn. said that

ESPERANTO CONGRESS.

An article in a Berlin paper on the

There will be more than 5000 delegates

country in Europe and the proceedings
will show what progress the universal
language has made. In order to show
one feature which has not been largely
dwelt upon, a Shakespearean tragedy
has been translated into Esperanto and
will be performed while the congress is
in session. For practical purposes the
policemen and the walters in the large
restaurants will learn the language, so

And I can find them all, know,

All things 1 want come through to me,
And I can go

With pirates and with Indian braves
And robber bands

And bears and deer,
While nurse sits mending-and she

I'm sitting here.
