Admiral sperry Goes Ashore ana Pays Respects to Military Gev-
 ernor--Basin Is
 Too Small.

Gibraltar, Feb. 1.-For one hour this morning the port of Gibraltar seemed to be the scene of a naval engagement at close range.
 The American battleships that arriv- ed yesterday were exchanging salutes with the shore and the foreign war ships in the harbor that were omitted because of Sunday.
 The Connecticut saluted the port and the flag of Vice Admiral James Good rich, the commander of all the naval establishments at Gibraltar, with twen- ty-one guns and when these had been returned gun for gun from a shore battery and the British battleship AL bemarle, other salutes were fired and answered by the Russian, French and Dutch warships in port.
 The Rhode Island and the New Jer- sey came into port at 10 o'clock this morning and were followed an hour later. by the fourth division. the Wis consin, Illinois. Kearsarge and Ken- lucky, which anchored outside the breakwafer.
 The third division. consisting of the Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio and Virginia. brought up the rear and presented beautiful picture as they steamed in, glistening in the sunlight and their sig nal flags cracking in the smart breeze.
 The warship basin is too small to permit the entrance of the entire Ann erican fleet, consequently some of the vessels had to anchor outside.
 Rear Admiral Sperry accompanied by the members of his staff, came ashore at noon and called officially upon Gen. eral Sir Frederick Walker, the military governor A guard of hon. or met the admiral's launch at Kings Stairs and escorted the carriages of the American naval officers to the residence of the governor

The Acme of Correct Smoking, Vytda Morld Masraz zine

The Acme or OOREGcS SAMO!AAN Wide World Magazine.
 There is more tobacco per head con- sumed in Belgium than in any other country in the world. It is, therefore. fitting, perhaps, that one of tha favor ite pastimes of the menfolk should he smoking competitions at which va1u- able prizes are awarded to the man who can make his pipeful of tobacco last the longest. The "Brugsche Rockers, Club" is the premier smokers club of Belgium, and 1t was there that I witnessed one of the famous compe- titions. The true art of smoking, ac- cording to the standard set by Bel gium, consists in reducing the combus- tion to a minimum, and yet never al- lowing the pipe to go out while par ticle of tobacco remains in the bowl. The object is not to smoke quickly or much--we are not locomotives bent upon producing force, but. men on the quest of solace and enjoyment.

DECREE FOR DISTRIBUTION
ESTATE OF WIN. GEISLER
No Cash Left After Funeral Ex-
penses-Court Asked to Set
tie Dispute of Heirs.

When William Geisler died in Weber
county July %, 1906, he left will pro-
viding that his wife should have a life
interest in his estate; that all his real
estate should go to his youngest son,
Peter Robert Geisler; that 81 600 in cash
should be divided among six other chill
dren, and that the youngest son should
have all the balance on the understand
ing that he was 90 care for his father
and mother until their death. Walter W.
Crane was appointed executor of the will.
When an investigation was made after
Mr. Geisler's death and the funeral ex-
penses were paid, it was found that there
was no cash left So that Peter Robert
Geisier was entitled, under the terms of
the will, to the entire estate, cutting the
other six children off without a shilling.
It is said that a contest was threatened
by the six children to break the will. if
possible, and secure what they considered
a more equitable distribution of the prop
erty. This consisted of land, which was
subsequently sold 10 the state industrial
school for S9,125.
Judge J. A. Howell filed a decree in the
matter that it is thought will prove ae-
ceptable to all concerned. BY this de-
cree Mrs. Geisler is awarded $500 in cash
in lieu of a life interest in the estate: the
executor. Walter W. Crane, is allowed ST25
to meet all expenses of settling the es-
tate; Peter Robert GeisleT is awarded
$500. and it is assumed that the other
six children receive the balance of $1,000.
which was the amount set apart for them
in the will.
