by decree signed by County Judge
Leslie Monday afternoon the estate of
the late Count Creighton was distributed
among the legatees named in tho will and
the heirs at law, including the six Nc
Creary heirs and Mrs Shelby nephews
and neices Of Count Creighton, who were
not named in the will. The signing Of
the decree followed the filing Of a stlpula-
ton in court which was signed by every
person or institution interested in the
estate. This action will prevent any con-
test and will close the estate except for
the payment Of the costs of administra-
tion, for which provision has been made.
The total value OF the estate as found
by the appraisers was over S3s47, ,0OO but
this was reduced somewhat by the costs
of administration and the payment of
claims against the estate. All the rest
was divided by the decree according to
the schedule above.
Little sisters Out of IL.
Before the decree was signed Bishop
Scannell went on the witness stand and
testified the Little Sisters of the Poor
would not be able to claim it's bequest of
100000, because there was now no such
organization in Nebraska and the Mother
General in France had refused to estab-
lish branch in Omaha, owing TO sickness
and the recent troubles in France which
makes 1t impossible TO spare any of the
sisters of the order for a new branch.
The bequest to their order was divided
among the heirs and legatees
The bequest of $4,000 to establish a
home for poor working girls is not in
cluded in the list, because It IS believed
It is illegal because of lndefniteness, The

petition among all the city students.
 In all schools and colleges where military science is taught under fed eral appropriation strict course in target work is compulsory. Regular army officers are on duty at these in- stitutions. If the movement contin- ues to grow it is hoped that shooting ranges will be established in every public school in the land.
 While the presidents idea is gen erally approved, there are some per sons and some organizations very much opposed to it. The Interparlia- ment Art Union, which is working to bring about the peace of the world is antagonizing the presidents pro- gramme on this particular question, although it regards him as one of it's stanchest supporters in the world movement for universal peace. The union takes the ground that if uni versal peace is to be established by means of international arbitration, 1t becomes false step for a nation to be cultivating warlike spirit among it's youths and young men by teach ing them to shoot with the idea that they may some time be called on to shoot to kill in battle.

MISS NORA LANGHORkE MAY BECOME PRINCESS

that Miss Nora Langhorne made her London debut last season and at once attracted the admiration Of the smart world.
 Should the alliance in question be arranged, the Astors will receive full credit for the match, as without handsome dot from them it would be impossible for Prince Francis to think seriously Of marrying the charming Virginian.
 Miss Langhorne's sisters are all handsome and popular matrons, just as they were great southern belles. They are Mrs. R. Moncure Perkins of Richmond, Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson of New York, Mrs. Reginald Brooks of Boston, and Mrs. Waldorf Astor. Their fathers estate, Mirado, in the mountains of Albemarle county, has been in the possession of the family for many generations, and although somewhat run down since the war, is still q beautiful property.
 Young Mr Astor, who passed sev eral weeks at Mirado last September, is said to be anxious to restore the estate to it's condition before the war, when the grandfather of his bride was the owner of 1000 slaves, and every thing about the land and mansion was kept in the highest state of or der

SOCIETY here and in Virginia is V deeply interested in a rumor from London to the effect that Miss Nora Langhorne. youngest of the five hand some daughters of C. D. Langhorne of Albemarle county, Va. has cap tured the heart and received an offer of the hand of Prince Francis of Teck, the good-looking brother of the prin- cess of Wales.
 That Prince Francis family were willing that he should marry a wealthy American has been known for some time, but Miss Langhorne has not great fortune. Her brother in-law, Waldorf Astor, and the lat ters father, William Waldorf Astor however, have more money than they know what to do with and are said to be heartily in favor of an alliance that would place them in the inner most circle of English society, which, as is well known, has not saken very kindly to the elder Astor The latter is already reaping the benefit of the of his daughter-in-law, who was Miss Mamie Langhorne and who at the time of her marriage to young Waldorf Astor was Mrs. Shaw, having and divorced Robert Gould Shaw of Boston in surprisingly short time after leaving the school room. It was under her chaperonage

U ASHINGTON. - Admiral Dewey
 W and wife are to rent out the home in Rhode Island avenue, pre- sented to them by the contributions of the American people, to live at 1901 K street, the home of Mrs. Dewey before her marriage The smallness of the dining-room in the gift house is said to be the cause of it's abandonment by the admiral and his wife. Admiral Dewey explained that while the gift house is very con- fortable, the dining-room is capable of seating only IA persons, and this fact has prevented Mrs. Dewey from entertaining to any great extent. She is fond of society, accepts many din ner invitations and naturally wishes to return the hospitalities of her friends. She has given a number of dinner parties. but has had to restrict the number of her guests more than she likes to do

TEACHING SCHOOL BOYS TO SHOOT WITH RIFLES
DREsIDENT RoOsEvELT,s ardent

D RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S ardent wish to make America a nation of sharpshoOters is in fair way of realization. Shooting clubs are being formed in the various states and are procuring arms from the war depart ment; agents are being sent to the large cities for the purpose of in structing the students in the public schools how to load and sight rifles so that the school boys may acquire proficiency in the art of killing
 Not the least startling of the varied progressive ideas incorporated in President Roosevelt's last message to congress was a suggestion that rifles be put in the hands of public school boys and a course in firing at targets be included in the education of Amer ican youths. This recommendation was the final chapter in the presi- dents message, apparently having been added as an afterthought.
 In the Washington schools brisk competition has been started to de- termine the best marksman. The boys are tested by firing the guns from standing, kneeling and lying posi- tions. The most expert pupils in the different grades are to meet in com

\ LLEGED irregularities in the pur- A chase of dry colors for use in the bureau of engraving and printing have been brought to light through which the government has paid about $1,000,0 900 too much for its supplies. Whether the irregularities are action able or not is now under considera- tion by United States Attorney Baker of the District of Columbia.
 The matter has been under investi- gation by the treasury department for about year, and has been kept very quiet It finally transpired through the publication of the hearings on the sundry civil bill before the house com mittee on appropriations.
 For several years the government paid from 45 to GO cents pound for these colors. Concerns which had lost in the bidding finally made charges that something was wrong. It de- veloped that the ink used was made by a process invented by man in the bureau. The government paid 45 cents a pound for hard black" and as high as 65 cents a pound for a "soft black" When the charges were made last year, Director Sullivan of the bureau made personal investi- gation of the manner in which the color contracts were made, and found that satisfactory black could be pro duced for 12 cents a pound.
 Thereupon the price was reduced, and the saving for the year was more fnan &114 GOO. The color contracts p1eee ted neen In charse q t1s

WOMAN HAS FINE RECORD.
Keeper of Lighthouse, She Has Saved
 Eighteen Lives.

Ida Lewis recently celebrated her fftieth year as keeper of the Lime island lighthouse in the harbor of Newport, R. l. AS a girl and woman Ida Lewis has lived remarkable life. Her bravery and skill in handling a boat are well known and her fame is secure as the great woman life saver in the world, for she has the credit of having saved no less than Is lives, most of her rescues having heen effect ed in the face of extreme danger and in winter. As keeper of the Lime island lighthouse, to which post she was appointed in recognition of her bravery and record as life saver on the death of her father, Miss Lewis has shown herself as ca-eful and eff cient as a man could be. She is one of the few women in such a position.

After Mrs. Dewey's marriage the K street house was leased first to the late Senator Alger, and latterly to Secretary Hitchcock. MT. Hitchcock recently gave up the place, and im- mediately workmen began making re- pairs and alterations. Their orders were so imperative that they worked far into the night.
 Mrs. Dewey's home in K street is magniticently furnished and it is said that the Rhode Island avenue place will be leased furnished. The K street house was the home of Mrs. Dewey during the lifetime of her first husband, Gen. Hazen of the signal service. Her K street house is much nearer the residence of her mother, and she likes that location better than the house presented by the American people to her husband. The title to the Rhode Island avenue house now stands is in Mrs. Dewey's name.

Prosperity in Canada.

In his annual report the president of the Bank of Montreal, Canada's largest banking institution, says that the business in 1906 surpassed all former records and the condition of Canada at present is one of general prosperity. The farmers fared well; mines of all kinds produced more, and the output of the forests and the seas exceeded that of any former year. Canadian railway earnings continue large and manufacturing concerns in many cases are refusing to take further orders. The immigration for the year (215.000} was the heaviest on record.
