Appraisal Of His Estate Made

New York, Aug San appraisal OF

eral Frederick Dent Grant, made pub
lie. values the entire personal estate
at about 100000.
This is the estimate made by the
widow, MIS-. Ida Honore Grant, sole
beneficiary and executrix.
In designating his widow as sole
beneficiary the will, which was exc
cuted at Fort Sam Houston, Texas,
Aug. 25, 1903, sets forth that the two
children had already been provided
for and that they will be more graft
fed to have their mother receive the
entire estate than to have it diminish
ed by present gifts to them"
The will further expresses conf
dence that Mrs. Grant will probably
divide the estate between the two
children at her uearh:-

SOLVES DELIVERY PROBLEM.
Waterbury, Conn, Coal Company Is
Using a Tractor.

The high cost of transportation in the
retail coal trade has prompted a COM
pany at Waterbury. Conn, to adopt the
tractor method Of delivery in that town.
The results are entirely satisfactory, the
increased efficiency due to lowering the
transportation cost and the greater
promptness of delivery obtained being
very marked.
This firm uses a tractor in connection
with three detachable body trailers of
seven tons capacity each. These trailers
are of the two-wheeled type and are pro-
vided with a pair Of hinged jacks at the
forward end which support the body
when the tractor is withdrawn. On ar
irving at a residence at which the load
is to be delivered it is only necessary
to drop the two jacks in place, remove
the king pin Of the coupling and the
tractor is then available for other service
while the trailer delivers its coal.
1t takes from thirty to fifty minutes to
carry in one of these loads of coal, SO
that while this body is being emptied the
tractor has time to go back to the yard
and haul out another body which has
ly returning and taking back the other
empty body to the yard for refilling.
In this manner the expensive part of
the outfit, namely, the tractor, can be
kept constantly at work with a high earn
ing capacity whereas with horses or the
conventional motor truck a large amount
of time is necessarily wasted during the
loading and unloading, with consequent
increase in cost

needed. put in some more grease and see
how much hotter it gets. 1t is generally
easier, too, to change speed in oil than
grease. If it gets unduly hot with thin
grease. the shafts or the bevel lin a
chain-driven carr are probably out of
alignment probable cause a faulty ball
bearing. Try to lift the shafts with the
hand. loose shaft can easily be dis
covered in this way. In new car the oil
should be taken out and strained after
about 800 miles or less, and the gear box
carefully washed out with paraffin to get
out all the shreds OF metal that always
will be found here. The oil, after being
carefully strained through few thick
nesses OF fine muslin, can be replaced if
desired.

Car Had Gate System.

1T once happened to me that. after dis
mantling the gear box on an old foreign
built car, two of the speeds would not
stay in mesh when the car was running
This car has the gate system, and the
speeds that came out of gear were the

me for a time, but | soon found the
explanation. Between the flywheel ana

the fact that on the following outward
