TEN FOR BULLOCK RANCH

David Bulloch, who owns a
ranch about five miles from

Estate Left to Wesleyan Until Stud
 ents Stole Won1an's Pet.

Middletown, Conn. May 19.-The will of Miss Margaret Nandeusen, who died here a. few days ago, was filed here, and revealed how Wesleyan lost a, fortune because eight or ten years ago a student stole Miss Vandeusen's s cat to be used fo rexperimental pur poses in the biological laboratory.
 Miss Vandeusen had owned the cat for many years and she was heart broken when 1t disappeared. At first she did not believe the students had taken it. but thought 1t had merely wandered off, but finally definite Knowledge came to her of what had become of it. It was then that she changed her will. cutting off without a penny the university which was to have taken care of most of her estate.
 Many thought she might relent but under the will the entire estate goes to other charities. One bequest is to establish a free ward for elderly won- en in the local hospital.
 Miss Vandeusen was the last of the family and as far as is known there are no relatives to contest this dis position of her property. Her estate is estimated at from $l00.0G0 to $l50, 900.

PREPARATIONS FOR
 THE ROYAL WEDDING
Kaiser to Make Occasion Contribute to Improve international Relations.

Berlin, May 19.-The preparations for the wedding on Saturday of Prin- cess Victoria Luise, only daughter of the German emperor and Prince Ern- est August of Cumberland, give strik- ing prominence to the emperors ap- parent desire to make the occasion contribute to the betterment of the relations between Great Britain and the German empire.
 Officially the non-pOlitica1 charac- ter of the marriage has been empha- sized but the real attitude of the en- peror was illustrated today by the granting of a pardon to three English spies. who are now undergoing terms of Imprisonment in Germany.
 Another evidence of German con- cern in the forthcoming visit of King George and Queen Mary is contained in the official programme, published this evening in the Norddeusche Ale gemeine Zeitung, which prints in a prominent position, half column ar ticle on the reception arrangements for the British soVeretgns, and in 2 few lines in another column describes the preparations for the reception of Emperor Nicholas of Russia.
 According to the programme two squadrons of cuirassirs and dragons will compose the escort of King George on his arrival in Berlin on Wednes- day while only one squadron is assign ed to escort Emperor Nicholas on his arrival the following day.
 Emperor William will spend a busy forenoon on May 2. He will mako three Journeys to the railroad station in the short two hours and a half in which he will receive successively the Grand Duchess Luise of Baden. the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland and the Russian emperor.
 The visitors will make state entries into the city, each through two and a half miles of streets lined with the crack guard troops and their welcome by the emperor will necessitate three changes of uniform on his part.
 Anumber of high British and Rus sian police officials arrived in Berlin today to supervise arrangements for the safety of King George and Elm perOr Nicholas.
 The nuptial banquet will witness a revival of the medieval functions of titulary high cup bearer and butler, the present incumbents of which of fees are Prince Hatzfeldt and Prince RadoIin, respectively, who actually will present wine and soup to the guests at the beginning of the dinner.

FATHERS DAY THIRD
 SUNDAY OF JUNE
Recommendation that Red or White
 Roses Be Worn Then.

Spokane. May 19-That the third Sunday of each June has been set apart in honor of father will be news to many, for the fathers day is credited to Mrs. John Bruce Dood, a young mother and talented artist of Spokane. Wash.
 When Mrs. Dood suggested that a day be set aside in respect to her father in her home city in June, 1910, her idea met with hearty re- spOnse. The city churches fell in line with remarkable unanimity, prepared pleasing programmes which were en- joyed by immense audiences. Since then, like mothers day. it's influence is gradually spreading throughout the United States and this year will be commemorated in many foreign lands.
 Mrs. Dood suggests that we wear the red rose as an emblem, if father is living; the white if dead Minis ters are asked to observe the day through the pulpit, all deeds which re- fleet kindness and thoughtfuIness to fathers, letters to those far distant, perhaps a visit to graves of depart ed one will all be in keeping with the day.
