SPIRITS TOLD HER HOW 10 MAKE WILL
Contest Over Estate of Mrs, E. Hooker Brings Out a s>z- Strange Charge,
kEa-an.-t..

HARTFoRD,t conL., 1hay s.--Isa- bella Beecher Hooker, youngest sis ter of Henry Ward Becher and of liar riet Beecher Stowe, is accused of having made her will, not as she wished, but as spirits of her dead friends, whom she consulted, advised her. That claim is made by Mrs. Kate Burton Powers of Boston, who lis trying to break the will of Mrs Hooker. .s ..- Mrs. Powers today filed in the Su- perior Court her grounds for contest ing the will which practically cut her off and left the large estate of Mrs Hooker to Edward Beecher Hooker, her grandson. Mrs. Powers is her grandniece.
 The writ filed by Mrs. Powers says: At the time of the alleged making, executing and publishing the pretend ed will and codicil Isabella Beecher Hooker, by reason of advanced age and physical and mental infirmities, was and for a long time before had been weak and broken, both in body and mind, and was destitute of testa- mentary capacity, and was not of sound and disposing mind. At the time of making said pretended will and codicil, and afterward, Isabella Beecher Hooker consulted the spirits of departed friends, not only as to the making of said pretended will and cod icil and the provisions thereof, but also to the confirmation thereof, and said pretended will and codicil was made and executed under their direc- ton and advice, and was not the free and voluntary act of a sound and disposing mind"
 A deep-seated TOW in the Beecher family is revealed by the following extract from the appeal of Mrs, Pow CTS: ...- 4.-
 "The alleged will and codiciI was l made and obtained by means of undue and improper influence practiced upon Isabella Beecher Hooker for a long time prior to and at the time of the making of said preteaded will and cod icil, by Edward Becher Hooker. named as the principal iegateer and deyisee in said pretended will and codicil would not have been made or exc cuted by the said Isabella Beecher | Hooker except for such undue and 1 improper influence so practiced upon her as arfofesaid."

''FRIJOLES" HOLDS COUNTY JAIL RECORD Received His Two Hundred and Twenty-Fifth Sentence
 Yesterday

With a Chesterfeldian grace and a sweep of his sombrero which would
 make like performance by Sir Walter Raleigh himself resemble the awkward contortion of an amateur actor, the ir- lrepressible "Friioles" received his leave of absence from Mexican social circles for. five days yesterday uftsf- noon at the hands ofaIustice Hogan. He thanked the justice in the kind Hest terms, and as he walked out of the door. said; "Au reyoir, but not goodbye"
 Several who were In the courtroom at the time wondered at the sang froid of the man. but in about five minutes Constable Twomey walked into the corrtrodm with a frown on his usually happy countenance, and when asked the reason, stated that
 FriioIes hal already hidden a brand new piece of soap which had been placed in the jail that morning and absolutely refused to make known where he had hidden it. It was then seen that one of Frijoles' lieutenauts
 had reported the arrival of the dirt remover, and the chief at once lai.t his plans to get into it's proximity, not for the purpose of using it as q
 lavatory article, but to take # nHti=r

 was released.
 If there is anything around the
 county jail that Frijoles has nlT stolen
 it is because the article is riv2ted
 down. It was only few months ago
 that Sheriff Jack White caught his
 boarder trying to get of with a sack of coal. which he could not carry Or
 account of having too much or a load
 on beforehand.
 Unlike most chronic jail cases Fri ioles often makes some very funny remarks. At one time he told Judge Murphy after he had been arraigned for disturbing the peace about two hundred times, Judge, please give that old lady Peace. an honr to get
 out. of town. "A sfe1low can't move without disturbing her"
 Frijoles has never been known to
 work, and states that he comes from
 a line Of blood that would make Al; fonso look like selling-plater in a race for thoroughbreds. .r Frijoles takes life as joke, and says that 1t is an awful poor cam- munity that can not support one gen. tleman. On one occasion Frijoles was rather shy on cash, and as his credit was badly battered he proceed to break into jail He was arraigned be- fore the justice, and when asked whether he pleaded guilty or not guilty, stated the former. The judge pronounced the usual sentence of five dollars or five days. The prisoner at
 once spoke up and said: That's :i!
 right. judge. But please let me have
 a dollar and make it six days in jail" {"
 When a Review reported called at the jail last evening to interview him,
 Friioles sent out word that as long
 as no card had been sent in. he would
 not receive the caller.

The Bride Collects the Gifts, Which
 Must Be In Money.
 If you receive an invitation to a wed ding in Little Servia on the west side, you must not buy present and take 1t with you or send 1t. That would be bad form, and the bride would proba- bly feel lnsulted, but when you went to the wedding you would take with you the price of the present in money.
 At the wedding you would find sey eral hundred men and women all msk- Ing strange motions and taking in & strange, excited manner.
 After the guests had assenbled-and everybody in the colony would i,e vel comed-a young woman would pass around the wedding cake Behind hep would come the bride carrying n silver platter. and upon this she would collect the morey given as presents. At the majority of weddings the plstter Is piled high with silver dollars, and around the edges are bills of various denominations, from g.. to s20.

MUST NOT ASSAULT GHOST.
At Least, in Germany the offense May
Bring Imprisonment.

Berlin.-A citizen of Wasungen
named Bach has just pleaded vainly
to the court of criminal appeal at
Meiningen his right to attack ghost.
The story begins on December 81,
when fellow citizen named Koenig
told Bach II he would share his night
vigil as Waterman he would see a
Pickering light in the churchyard, as
Koenig had done for years when the
old year died.
Bach went armed with revolver
and sword. He saw a spectral light
and ran to the churchyard, where he
hailed dim figure. Receiving no re-
ply, he slashed with his sword The
wounds caused the ghost to cry for
mercy The ghost proved to be man
who, influenced by an ancient supersti-
ton, burned branches of a certain
tree in the churchyard to immunize
himself and Others from supposed
evils.
Bach was subsequently sentenced
to six months Imprisonment for
wounding him. He appealed on the
ground that he really attacked a
specter and it was merely an accident
that he hurt a man. The judges seem
to have held that even ghost is en-
titled to protection, and the sentence
was confirmed.

They grow in clusters, as we'll ordered
apples do, and are highly priced by
their owner, who has cultivated the
tree until the fruit eventually grows
to fine size and firmness.
A few mornings ago the captain was
looking over his orchard when he saw
what he took to be rose blooming on
the very tip of limb on the greening
tree. He could scarcely believe his
eyes, so he got ladder and made a
closer examination. Sure enough, the
rose was there, and just back of 1t was
a cluster of rose leaves set amid
thorns.
Beside the blooming rose there was
half developed bud and before 1t q

got into the tree and whence 1t came
are the questions bothering the cap

CLARK CABIN FAMOUS.
LOG HOUSE NEAR LOUISVILLE
CRADLE OF NORTHWEST.
One Of the Most Curious Landmarks
Of Kentucky, from Which the
Explorer Started, Is Still
Standing.

Louisville, Ky.-Just south of this
city, between the Newberg and Bards
town roads, there stands a log house,
more than century old, which is
one of the landmarks of American his
tory and which may be designated as
the cradle of the great northwest, for
It was from this house that the Lewis
and Clark expedition started on its
Journey through the then UNEMPLOYED
wilderness to the Pacific coast In
1903.
The house stands to-day almost as
It did in the dawn of the last century,
when the intrepid young explorers set
out on their journey that was to open
an empire. 1t was then an outpost
in the wilderness. Today the city
has swept around 1t and 1t is within
short distance of the center of pop
ulation.
The house was built by Gen. iona
than Clark, the father of William
Clark, of the Lewis and Clark expe.
dition, and of George Rogers Clark,
one of the mighty characters in the
history Of the northwest territory. II
was erected about the year 1884.
William Clark served as lieutenant
under his brother, George Rogers
Clark, from 1898 to 1896, and then
went to Missouri, establishing him
self at st. Louis. When he was com
missioned a member of the expedition
to push through the northwest to the
Pacific he came to Louisville and mel
Meriwether Lewis. The leaders gath
cred the first members of their expe
dltion here, and starting from The
Clark homestead proceeded to st
Louis and thence on their historic
Journey.
The homestead which was known
as Mulberry Hill, was occupied by thu
Clark family for many years and II
now in possession of the descendants
Around the original cabin other struC
lures were erected and the slave quar-
tiers stand as they were in the day
before the war. The log cabin itsel
is unchanged, save that the roof ha
undergone repairs, made necessary b,
the wear of time. But the logs Guile,
from the primeval forests are a
sound as they were when the pioneer
shaped their home from them.
The Bodley family, which now own
the land on which the old hous
stands, has offered it as permanen
site for the state fair to be held Il
Louisville. 1t has not yet been 81
lected, but if 1t is the old log hous
will be carefully preserved for its hi
toric value.
