 Long before China opened even the five ports to western trade, farseeing men outside the walls were struggling with it's ideographs and getting a primitive version of the Bible ready for the people; and while Japan still refused to let foreigner land upon her shores, transiators were picking up Japanese words from shipwrecked sailors, and, without dictionary or grammar, preparing one or another of the gospels for the Japanese Within two weeks after Admiral Dewey's vic tory at Manila the task of translating the Bible into some of the 34 Ian. guages and dialects of the Philippines was begun, and now a complete testa. ment may be had in three of them or the gospels in any one of half 6 dozen others.

 When the city has finally paid the awards, when the court of appeals has passed upon certain technical ques- tions awaiting its decision. and when all the lawyers have been paid, the 50 living descendants of the worthy old gentleman-provided no more are discovered or born meanwhile-will receive the patrimony that has been coming to them during 32 years of liti- gation. But an average of $220 to each person is all that is left of what was a large estate half a century ago and has multiplied in value as many times as the heirs have multiplied in num- bers.

Hot Springs 10; Prescott 1.

Prescott suffered another de- feat yesterday at Hot Springs. The score was 10 to 1. Harrison was in the box for the first three innings. McLain relieved him and finished the game. The only trouble with Prescott's defeat was the factthat the Hot Springs boys were better ball plays. Our boys were treated nicely on the trip, the only discourteous act shown by Hot Springs was the cheek displayed in taking all the games.

and threw them into the cigar box which dangled from a string from the blind mans neck. Jerry's intelligent fingers knew the feel of real green and yellowbacks, but they roamed several times over the twenties, tens and ones while he accustomed himself to the touch. He could pick out the bills of high denomination from the one-dollar bills, for their surface was smoother; but not until he had called special watchman did he learn that he had fallen heir to $59
 The Tenderloin is wondering how long it will take Jerry to see the bot tom of his little pile and whether sev- eral nights would pass before it again heard the tap, tap of Kentucky Colonel. Kentucky Colonel is Jerry's best friend. 1t is his stout walking stick, his guide on his journeys and his stanch supporter in days of trouble. Jerry is about 90 years old now and familiar to everyone who knows the Tenderloin by night. He and Matches Mary, who recently died in Bellevue, were the bestknown characters in the district Jerry has always been part of the Tenderloin.

FORTUNE emptied her horn right in | to the lap of Jerry the Lug early the other morning. Many times in the years that the blind man has held his post outside the Haymarket, through rain or shine, she has favored him, but never had she showered her boun- ties upon him in this manner.
 The Goddess, who has been any thing but fickle to Jerry the Lug while he has made the Tenderloin his stamp ing ground, however false she may have been to him in his earlier days, came to him in the guise of gay young Lothario who had more money than he could light his cigars with. The pink-faced, loudly-dressed one with the baby mustache turned up at the ends came out of the Haymarket just at the time when the white light hanging in front of the resort was shining with a paler radiance in the first streaks of dawn.
 Lothario stopped at the spot where Jerry sat on his campstool holding out lead pencils He dug one hand in his trousers pocket and brought out a roll that was both green ars yellow. He detached several layers

ESTATE SETTLED AFTER
 YEARS OF LITIGATION

uy HEN Daniel Riker was gathered W to his fathers in 1850 he left to his five heirs a large estate and a quantity of trouble which has kept his memory green even unto this day.
 The estate was administered in trust until 1873, when a dissatisfied legatee started the trouble by bring ing a partition suit Then began a series of legal technicalities, court de- lays, quests for missing heirs, in which thousands of dollars were spent; the disappearance and death of others and the birth of children and grandchildren to the original legatees "a tale which has no parallel except in the celebrated case of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce, which Charles Dickens wove into his novel of Bleak House" Lawyers came into the case and died; persons interested in fighting the action passed away and others took their places.
