ESTATE OF H. H. ROGERS.
Oil Man Leaves 500, goo, It Is Esti-
mated-Mark Twain TO Be
Remembered.

NEW YORK, May 25.-Henry II.
Rogers left more than $1O0OO0,0OO be
hind him. This is the estimate of one
Of his closest friends and business ac-
quaintances This intimate of the late
Standard Oil magnate was acquainted,
through conversations with Mr.. Rogers,
with the size of the fortune. Mr.. Rog-
ers knew the amount of his own fortune
and had talked over with this friend
the disposition to be made of the many
millions after is death. Owing to the
illness of Mrs. Rogers, which followed a
nervous collapse after the funeral of
Mr.. Rogers at Fairhayen, Mass, the
reading of the will has been postponed
until Wednesday afternoon. 1t will be
read at the Rogers home on Wednesday,
presumably in the afternoon, by James
NJ. Beck. the philadelphia and New
York lawyer. who attended to Mr.. Rog-
erS' personal affairs.
The informant had not actually read
the will, but mad talked it over with Mr..
Rogers and had advised with him re-
garding it.
According to this man, the principal
beneficiary of the will. outside the mem
bers of his immediate family, will be the
little town Of Fairhayen, which he loved
and cherished always and converted from
4 scraggy little seacOast village into q
prosperous and beautiful community. 1t
is understood that Samuel Clemens
Mark Twain, whose business affairs,
after his failure We're 50 conducted by
Mr. Rogers that he came out Of bank
ruDtcy into comfort, has been substan-
TALLY remembered in the will.
1t was asserted that Mr.. Beck had 50
drawn the will that it would not show
the size Of the estate or give any clue to
the amount Of it.

The unexpected happened in the Sen

the state tax OF the Northwestern Mu4

Under the motion made by Senator

will be refererd to he special committee
named to investigate and recommend
legislation bearing on the income tax.
This committee has not yet been APP

FIGHT WITH DEVILFISH.
Experience of Fishing Party on
Mexican River.

A party of English fishermen had NJ
unusual and most exciting experience il
the Panuco river recently with 4 large
sting ray or devilfsh. 1t is yer!
Yarely that these FISH are seen in the riv
err for they are supposed to confn'
themselves to the sea, although they are
often encountered near the coast aIons
the south Atlantic and III the Gulf OF
Mexico. Occasionally small devilfisE
is taken by fisherman near the coast OF
Florida but their appearance IN the
Panuco river is something unheard Of be
fore.
The party Of fishermen in question con
sisted Of Capt. 4. Paget, Capt. Molly
neaux, Sir Charles Cost, Maj. Ramsden
Capt Robert Duff and Lady Juliet Duff
who were out in small boats in quest OF
tarpOn when three Of these monster rays
were encountered. One of the boats be
ing supplied with a small harpoOn threw
it into the nearest ray. The other boats
came to the assistance and made fast
IN an effort to keep the first boat, which
was fast being towed seaward by the
monster deyiIfsh, but the five boats and
Il launch which had come up in the
meantime were lowed down the river
with as little effort as if they had been
mere toys invented for the piaythings OF
this queer shaped monster. After sever
al minutes Of the widest excitement
which has ever been experienced by fish
ermen in the Panuco they succeeded in
dragging the monster into comparatively
shallow water and were congratulating
themselves on the probable capture OF
the great fish when the monster gave
mighty flop that threatened to engulf all
the small boats, flashed under the launch
almost capsizing it, and succeeded in
tearing out the harpoon and thus es
capped This fish is said to measure al
least 8 feet from tip to tip of its wing
shaped fins, or fippers, while the twd
others from the glimpse gained were
nearly the same size.-Tampico Cor

QUAKE EXPERT FEELS
SHOCKS AT MADISON.
Prof VIM. H Hobbs of University of
Michigan Says Tremors Were Caused
by Distant Disturbance.

MADISON. Wis, May 26.-[Special.l
A slight earthquake shock was expert
enced at S:3S this morning. The shock
was noted at the local weather bureau
and at the Washburn observatory at the
university, but there are no instruments
in the city for recording shocks.
Prof. William II. Hobbs. an expert
on earthquakes and a former instructor
at the university and now with the Uni
versity of Michigan, who is a guest of
President and Mrs. Van Hise, declared
this morning he noticed three distinct
shocks. He said it was possible the
shocks were caused by a more violent
disturbance in some other portion of the
world.
Reports from within a radius of sixty
miles show that the tremors were felt IN
those sections and were more or less pro-
nounced. At one of the railroad sta
tions in this city, the solution was
spilled from the batteries under the tele-
graph table. Residents along Lake Men
dota were considerably shaken up.

Fashions Service to Woman.

Man laughs at the utterly servile way
In which all women at the same time put
on large hats or small hats, loose gowns
or tight gowns, at the decree of fashion
To that unseen god, women have raised
UP affairs of felt, velvet and feathers, of
straw, flowers and fruit, higher than
Agamemnon's hecatombs. In his name
they have endured pain greater than HER
odule or bowling Dervish ever inflicted
on himself with knife and torch. But at
least it should be recognized that this
fashion is a god, the god of democracy.
By imposing the same gown. of the same
hue, cut in the same way, upon thou
sand women, the unattractive woman is
saved from the peril of being conspicu-
ous.-New York Evening Post.

that will lay every day providing she
can lay where she wants to, and that is
sitting on top of a pole. The only rea
son why this hen wishes to perch on the

accounted for only by the fact that she
she was a small pullet she was fright
ened one day and flew to the top Of a
tall pole in the yard. The dog kept her
there for some time, and during the time
she laid her first egg. Never time
since then has she laid an egg except
when she has been on the top of some

better boats. it was placed upon the
