terminated in the circuit court here by
Judge Henderson rendering a decision
sustaining the instrument. Counsel for
the contending sides reached compro-
mise. and the only testimony heard was
for the purpose of proving the execution
of the will.
The suit was filed by William T. Hous-
ton and John o. Houston, brother and
nephew, respectively, of the testatrix, and
was against Henry Warmoth Houston,
the executor named in the will. The petit
ton alleged that the paper presented In
the Office OF the register OF Wills here
for probate was not the last will and
testament of Mrs. Gardner. that 1t had
not been executed according to law, that
Mrs. Gardner was not acquainted with its
contents and gave other reasons why IT
should be declared null and void.
Under the will Henry Warmoth Houston
is the principal beneficiary. The estate
is valued at $4,000 and includes real and
personal property in this county and the
District of Columbia.

Tax on Hats.

From the London Chronicle.
Not only have hats at various times
been subject to taxation, but they have
even been made the subject Of special
laws. Thus in Henry Wis reign none
was allowed to sell hats at a larger price
than 20 pence. or caps for more than
2s. Sd. Some compensation however for
this interference with free trade could
be found in the fact that in 1J71 on Sun
days and holidays every one above seven
years of age was required to wear a
cap of wool of English make under pen
atty of 3 farthings' fine for every days
neglect.

An Anti-Ant Building.
From the Cement Age


Reinforced concrete is the material
which will be used almost exclusively In
the construction of the new government
buildings to be erected by the United
States at San Juan. Porto Rico, for use
as a post Office, courthouse and custom
house. Wood is to be practically ex-
cluded from the structure. the only place
about the building where wood will be
employed will be in the window sashes
on one side of the edifice. The interior
doors will be of rattan. The reason why
wood is being avoided by the government
I'm this case Is because there is a small
ant indigenous to the island of Porto Rico
which eats its way up through wooden
chairs. doors and desks and makes them
spongy on the inside.

The reason Vinol cures chronic
coughs, colds and pulmonary troubles
is because it contains tonic iron and

CLUBMEN DENY ANNIS
EVER MALIGNED WOMEN
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Members of
the Bayside yacht club declare they
never heard W. E. Annis, who was shot
and killed by Captain P. C. Hams, boast
of his conquest of Mrs. Hams nor speak
dfsrespectfully of any woman. Former
Congressman Fred storms said:
"Annis may have been somewhat
boastful. but 1t was always in an in
nocant way. I never heard him dis
parage any woman.
Members of the yacht club vigorously
resented an insinuation made by an un-
named witness for the defense that
there had been orgies at the clubhouse
The lawyers for the defense refused to
divuige the name of the owner of the
auxiliary schooner on which orgies are
said to have occurred and on which the
new witness said he met Annis and IL
other members of the Bayside Yacht
club on July 10. John F. Mcintyre in
timated that he knew the owner but
was making an investigation and would
disclose nothing until he had completed
it.
C. L. weaver of Bayside park. one of
the witnesses Of the murder, said:
The Bayside yacht club is most
respectable family organization. Moth
ing out of the way ever occurs there. i
will say for Annis that the assertion
that he was heavy drinker of alb
sinthe is entirely wrong He never
drank much. His conversation was not
uncouth and. never heard him sneak
of women in the manner indicated by
the witness the defense claims to have
dug up"
