Studlcy Appoints Is!,cII.

There was a hearing in the Probate court yesterday morning on the estate of the late Patrick Brynes, which was of lively nature, there being some discussion over the appointment of an administratrix. Mrs. Byrnes, the wid- ow of Patrick, had made application through Attorney Fitzgerald for tho appointment and an objection was raised by Lawyer Goodhart.
 As a result of the wrange, Judge Studley appointed Attorney Isben ad- mnistratoi and ex-Chlef Wrinn an6 James F. McGann appraisers. This is the second time that Judge Studley has been forced to do this since ne has held the office of judge of probate.
 The cause Of the disagreement lies in the fact that about a year ago Pat rick Byrnes turned over one-half of his estate, which is worth about s7,00O ,c his wife. He later sued his wife through Lawyer Goodhart. to recover said share. From decision handed down by Judge Gager the day before the death of Mir. Byrnes he recovered the half of his property. Mrs Byrnes was represented by Attorney Fitzger- aid. When the estate came Into pro bate Mrs. Byrnes made application tc be appointed administratrix

Fisk Appeal Begun.

The appeal of Louis A. Fisk and Leonard Fisk, which concerns some- thing over s2o0,o0O. went on trial before Judge Roraback in the superior court yesterday morning. It is the claim of the plaintiffs that their mother left the property In trust for them and that their father, Eugene A. Fisk, died without a will and the second wife and her children share, unless the trust is proved with the two children by the first wife. The two children by the first wife, if the trust is proven, get all of the estate, and If not, get one seventh each. Dr. C. NJ, Fitch, who attended Mrs Fisk when she died in Chicago. was present In court yes +terday morning, and will testify in tho case. He is eighty-one years old and still practices in Chicago. He was very anxious to testify so as to get back to Chicago. It was rema rkable to sec a witness over four score years of age in court to testify after trip of over 1000 miles. He is very sharp and hears perfectly. He makes an excellent wit ness.
 Mrs. Mary Anderson, who attended Mrs. Fisk in her last illness and who was one of the witnesses to the alleg- ed trust and who now resides in Port land, Ore. was the chief witness yes- terday and her remarkable memory of events which happened in 1881 as- tonished the lawyers in the court room. She recalled conversations and dates directly and failed to get mixed on g rigid tion by Judge Stod- dard
 Mrs Anderson is about seventy years old and stated that she did not speak of the ma tier from the day she was the witness until after Eugene Fish's death for the req son that she supposed she would leave the property to his sons as directed by his wife on her death bed. In answer to one question she admit ted that she kept this secret for twen- ty-seven years. One lawyer stated, "She Is remarkable woman"

And scented silence at my heed

And dakes hiding so to hide and

No sound except my own heart

Rocking itself TO sleep within my
breast.
Just to lie there. h,led with the
deeper breathing
That comes OF listening tosa free
birds song,
Our souls require at times this full

All swords will rust II scabbard-
kept too long.
And am tirod!-so tired OF rigid

/. So tired OF all my tired hands find
To do.

Its loose beads with no straight

Die for the small joys he'd beyond
their reach.
Aud the assurance they have all
they need.
