MRS. OSBORN TO HAVE welded
INTENDED TO MARY LAWFORD,

New York Dressmaker Left Him
Proceeds of $75, 900 Trust Fund.
Did Not Expect It.

| NEW YORK, November 19.-Surprise
was caused by the announcement of

ceive the life income from SIS ,O00-about
| s.. 900 year-in the will of Mrs. Josefa
N. Osborn, that he and Mrs. Osborn were
| to have been married next month.
| This statement, is confirmed by Willard
F. Tompkins trustee under the will
who said that the fact of the approach
ing marriage explains the legacy to the
actor. There is no likelihood of a con-
test over the will, according to Mr..
Tompkins.
Mrs. Osborn and l were to have been
married next month"; said Mr.. Lawford.
That l had been mentioned in her will
was not known to me until one of the
executors told me yesterday.
While the famous dressmaker was on
her deathbed from appendicitis at her
home where Mr.. Lawtord held complete
sway, he said: -:
"A false impression that we were man
and wife has been carried about on every
mind. 1t is due to Mrs. Osborn that !
correct it. 1 have never been even en-
gagged to her.
Mrs Osborn died November Ii. 1t. is
| believed her estate will fall not far short
of 100000 in value. The will filed for
probate was executed February of this
year and names as the only other bene

| NeaS-olt daughter of the testatriX.
Her share Is to be held in trust for her.
T The executors are authorized to maintain

Upon the death of Lawford the princi-
pal $4,000, goes to the daughter.

to have been stolen from five houses was
found in his pockets, the police say, ana
they also state that he made fun con-

the hide.
Then he and Harry chased it and man

OUTLOOK EXPLAINS ST|LlMAN
ACKNOWLEDGES DEBT TO MAN
WHO GAVE HELP.
Banker Has Never Exercised Any
Control Over Editorial Policy Of
Publication, Is Declared.

NEW YORK, November 19.-In its
forthcoming issue the Outlook will ex-
plain in greater detail the connection
with that publication of James Stillman
banker. and reputed to be connected with
Standard Oil interests.
After quoting the recent statement by
the President, in which he made clear
that as prospective contributor he was
interested In the policy rather than the
ownership of the journal. the Outlook
will continue:
whether James Stillman is connected
with the Standard Oil Company we dc
not know. The facts concerning his con.
nection with the Outlook are as follows
about forty years ago Lyman Abbot,
became associated with Henry Ward
Beecher in the etiitorship of the Christian
Onion. When, some eight or ten years
later, Mr.. Beecher's incliuations led him
to retire, an endeavor was made by Mr.
Abbott to purchase the paper.
Among those who aided him financially
In this effort were Lawson Valentine
and James Stillman, both neighbors ano
warm personal friends. They beiieveo
In him and In his plan of making a jour.
nal of national influence. They not only
aided him in buying the paper which is
now the Outlook. but also In the strug.
on its feet.
Mr.. Valentine, who has since died, was
much more largely Interested than Mr.
Stillman. But neither of them ever
sought to exercise the slightest control
over the editorial policy, which for thirty
years has BEEN and still is, absolutely de.
termined and controlled by DR.. Abbott.
Mr.. Stillman has never. 1t SO happens,
even attended stockholders meeting,
either in person or by proxy. He owns
less than 10 per cent of the stock of the
Outlook. the other 80 per cent being own
ed by those who are actively engaged in
editing and publishing the paper.
When Mr.. Stillman put the money
which Is now represented by his stock at
DR.. Abbott's service he simply perform
ed a generous act for a personal friend,
for which Mr.. Abbott takes this. the first
public occasion that has ever offered, to
express his grateful and appreciative &C
acknowledgement.
financial needs in the beginning, Mr.. Still
mans only act of participation in the
management of the paper was his cordial
cooperation with the other stockholders
by surrender of a part of his stock to
make 1t possible for some of the active
workers In the Office to become stock
holders.
1T the act Of unprincipled rumor-ven-
doris has given either Mr.. Stillman or
the President any annoyance. the Out
look sincerely regrets the fact.
That 1t enables the Outlook to express
a sense of indebtedness to two men-Law-
son Valentine and James Stillman-whO
made the creation of the Outlook posi-
BILE, but who have never been known to
the public in connection with 1t, is a, mat
ter OF genuine satisfaction.

History Of Rice Culture Here.
