LEFT TO YALE UNIVERSITY,
Archibald Henry Blount Proven Sane
at Time of Writing Will.

LONDON, May 26.-The will of
Archibald Henry Blount, who died a
wear ago and which leaves the residue
OF the testator's estate to Yale Uni
versity, was today admitted to pro.
bate after it had been "solemnly
proven"
This unusual course was taken as
the relatives of Mr.. Blount who are
not mentioned in the will or lett the
smallest legacy, threatened to con-
test on the ground that Mr.. Blount
was of unsound mind when he made
the will.
To prevent the relatives from sue
ceeding in breaking the will, J. f.
Barrett, counsel for Yale University
called in a number of witnesses, in
cluding a doctor who is one OF the
witnesses of the will to prove that
Mr. Blount was OF perfectly sound
mind at the time he signed the in.
strument and that he remained so un
til his death. The value OF residue tc
which Yale is entitled is about $3.50,

The Most Common Cause of Suffering

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most common
of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and
make rest and sleep possible. In many
cases the relief from pain, which is at
first temporary, has become perma-
nent, while in old people subject to
chronic rheumatism, often brought on
by dampness or changes in the
weather, a permanent cure cannot be
expected; the relief from pain which
this liniment affords is alone worth
many time its cost. rs and so cent
