A TALE OF TWO CITIES.
Kinks In the Histories of New Work
and Chicago.

Kinks Tn the Histories of New York
and Chicago.
The manner In which the metropolis
OF the western hemisphere got its
name is matter that has been dealt
with by many able chroniclers. The
most trustworthy and at the same time
the most plausible story is as follows:
After the Dutch had ceased to be
dominant in the city a prominent
member OF one OF the English families
that had gained influence In the rapid
iy growing young community one day
traded oxen with a nelghbor and on
his way home stopped In front of a
tavern somewhere on what is now low
err Broadway. AS he did so several of
the men who were in the habit of fire.
Quenting the place assembled in the
f6ont yard. and one OF them cried out:
s'Hello! Those amt the oxen you
used to have" 80
NO" replied the owner of tho cat
tie. I've got a new yoke"
New yoke" at once became q com.
mon phrase and was soon adopted as
the name OF the city. 1t was an easy
step from that to New Yawk," the
present name Of the place.
The naming of Chicago came about in
n curious way. Shortly after the build
ing Of the first few huts near the
banks of the river one Of John Kin
Zie's boys caught two crows, a male
and female. which he tanned and
taught TO speak the English language.
The Kinzies had at that time a young
Indian maiden. who did plain sewing
and other household duties, and she
became very fond of the pet crows.
One day the female crow managed
somehow 20 get out of the cage I'm
which the birds were kept and at once
flew away. The Indian girl CHANGED to
see the crow make its escape, and.
greatly excited, she rushed into tho
dining room, where the various mem.
bers Of the family were waiting for
the finger bowls Waving her arms
mp and down as IL they had been
wings. the young squaw cried:
"She cav gow
Shecawgo was at once adopted as
the name Of the town and remains so
TO this day, the spelling only having
been changed.-Chicago Record-Her-

A Suggestion For tho Revivalists.
Rip Van Wrinkle had just brushed
lthe last of the cobwebs out of his
leyes.
IL subbose somebody will VERY like
|iy make a play about me-" he said in
ibis CatskiIl stage dialect.
t"No doubt about It," replied n by
stander.
Rip yawned heavily, the spell OF his
long nap being stiIl strong upon him.
"Vell," he said. 81 hope II dey do
write such a play dey Won't try to re-
vive It after It has been asleep for
dwenty years"
And then he smiled, and they all fled
Into the tavern and imbibed another
one of the kind that didn't count

present arranging program which in
cludes visits TO every portion of, San
Francisco. The visitors will be taken
up and down the bay and to surround
ing points of interest. banquet will
probably be arranged later.
The Commercial university of Cologne
is looked upon by the world as a sort
of clearing house for indisputabIe COM
mercial facts concerning trade condi-
uons throughout the world. The visit
of the German scholars Is considered by
local businessmen as one of great i'm
portance to San Francisco and no effort

TWO women fight
OVER BENSON Will
First Wife of Dead Land Grab
Der Denies Divorce and
Wants His Property
Estate May Include Valuable
Realty Standing in Names
of Other Persons

The expected contest over the estate
of the late, John A. Benson was begun
yesterday when the law firm of Sulli-
sary papers with the county clerk in
behalf of Mary E. Benson. the first
wife.
The contest was filed to prevent the
regular probating of the will. although
the estate is generally supposed to be
of no particular value. Mary E. Ben
son and her son, DIR. Earnest A. Ben
son. are of the opinion. however. that
the dead land grabber may have owned
lands of considerable value and it is
their purpose to prevent any part of
the estate passing to Grace V. Benson,
who. they say, was bigamously married
to John A. Benson.
Mary E. Benson declares that she
was never legally divorced by Benson,
although Grace V. Bensons attorney
processes to have certified copy of the
decree. He refuses to say where or
when it was obtained.
The contestants attorneys say that
the declaration in Benson's will, which
was filed for probate May "a, that he
was divorced in 1878 from Mary e.
Benson is false and that in a certificate
issued to Benson by the grand orient
of Masons February Z, 1854, Mary e.
Benson was recognized as his wife.
For number of years after the date
of the alleged divorce, it is said, Ben
son lived with and introduced Mary L.
Benson as his wife and carried on many
business transactions in which her sig
nature appeared on the papers. and that
this esta blished common law mar
riage if there had been divorce.
There is possibility that the Benson
estate is really of more value than
Grace V. Benson is willing to acknowl-
edge. 1t has been learned by the con-
testing attorneys that on several oc-
casions land standing in the name of
Miss c. E. Glover, Bensons confidential
secretary. was sold and the money
placed to Benson's credit From this
it is argued that valuable land holdings
standing in the names of others really
belonged to Benson and it is for the
purpose of delving into this phase of
the case that the contest has been filed.
Benson's private papers and books
are now in the hands of Public Admin
istrator Hynes. who has been appointed
special administrator. The attorneys
for Mary E. Benson propose to search
through all these papers and docu-
ments, and until such an investigation
is completed the contestants will be
absolutely at sea as to the amount of
money they are fighting for-if any
al all.
