Unconscious humor.

The humor Of ecclesiastics is some
times unconscious. We may suppose,
at any rate, that the learned and pious
Dean Burgon was guiltiess of any in
tention to make pun when in a SER
mon on the transcendent merits of the
high Anglican school of theology he
eulogized Jeremy Taylor and Doctor
Bull and then exclaimed with char
acteristic intensity Of fervor May l
live the life Of a Taylor and die the
death Of q Bull!"-Evening Star

no other personal property OF any kind
or any real estate. She lives with her
husband at 1928 Fifth avenue on money
supplied by her relatives, she said.

MIR. williams Denies IL.
John Shelton Williams, when asked
about this statement. denied that he had
ever made any such promise.
Comptroller Williams volunteered the
statement In talking with The SUN man
that his brother. Berkeley Williams OF
Richmond, with whom he 1.-THE Comptrol-
lerJ was in partnership before coming to
Washington, had stopped at Gold HUI and
looked at Ncwman's mine.
Mr.. Williams said that Newman had
gone TO his brother and had talked to him
considerably about the Gold Hill property.
His brother was on his way to Alabama,
where he is the president of a coal mining
company, and in passing through Sails
bury. n. c., he dropped off and spent a
few hours at the mine. The property did
not make a sufficient impression on him to
induce him to invest any money.
In response to questions Mr.. Williams
said that the visit of his brother to the
gold mine had taken place In March last
which was between two and three months
after the expert from the United States
Treasury had been sent to the mine
at the Governments expense to determine
whether or not conditions justified the
reopening OF the Federal assay office at
Charlotte.
The report OF tho Government expert
was TO the effect that the mine was not
sufficiently developed TO warrant such an
expense. The Comptroller asserted that
this visit OF his brother to the mine was
due entirely to representations made by
Mr.. Newman. He added that no member
OF his family owned cent OF stock In
the venture.
The Senate resolution calling for the
appointment q a special committee TO In
vestigate tho use OF Senate stationery for
exploiting Gold Hi Consolidated Min
ing stock will be considered by the Com
mittee on Audit and Contingent Expenses
OF the Senate at the regular meeting OF
that committee next Friday morning.
This committee Is presided over by
Senator John Sharp Williams OF Missis-
sippi and includes In addition to him
Senators Dillingham; OF Vermont and
Bristow Of Kansas. Republicans. and
Senators Shafroth OF Colorado and Reed
of Missouri. Democrats.
The expectation is that the resolution
will be Immediately considered and re-
ported to the Senate That will place
upon the Vice-President the duty OF
choosing the committee OF Ave for the In
vestigation.

1t was also noted that this move
ment had been a comparatively recent
one. as Il. c. Gregory of the same city

erty that the 1914 copartnership direc-

directors of the company.

MRS. CESTER0s WILL UPHELD.
Most Of "Dunderdale Beauty's" Es-
tate Goes to Fsvorite Nephew.

Surrogate Cohalan denied yesterday the
application by Mrs. Emile Taber to set
aside the will OF her sister Mrs. Rosalie
Cestero. on the ground that Ulysses Ces-
tero and his brother Fernando. nephews
of her sisters dead husband, had exerted
undue influence on the aged woman, rs
the result OF which she left the bulk OF
her estate to Ulysses Cestero.
The decedent was the widow Of a Porto
Rican planter. She and her sister. Mrs
Taber. we're known In Baltimore nearly
half a century ago as the Dunderdale
beauties. In her application to set aside
the will Mrs. Taber offered affidavits Of
members of the decedent's household to
the effect that she was infatuated with
Ulysses Cestero and spoke constantly OF
his beautiful eyes and his devotion to
her. One witness said:
"Her talk was rather a Joke with most
OF US, because we thought she acted more
like a young girl with her first sweet
heart than the sickly old lady she really
was"
Cleveland Forbes Dunderdale. brother
of the decedent, said that he talked with
Walter S. McAlllster. one OF the witnesses
to the will. who told him that when he
signed the document he didn't know he
was witnessing will.
