The girl of the period wears her
heart on her sleeve, and makes the
whole world a sharer in her feelings.
She is speculative in everything, and
wholly ignores comparative values;
her conversation knows no shading;
each of her friends is dearest and dar-
ling; all her preferences and aver
sions are either awfully nice or aw-
fully horrid; she has no idea of any
such thing as a golden mean, and.
withal, expresses her likes and dis
likes with sovereign contempt of the
tastes Of those about her. Let us hope
that time and experience viii tone
down her manner and prove to her
that gush is only the froth OF feeling.
that sentimentality is the pinchbeck
imitation OF sentiment and that quiet
conviction carries more force with it
than the noisiest demonstration -

ZIEGLER ESTATE
IN A new TANGLE
Gotham Attorneys Make Mis-
take in Signing Revised Yer
dict of Probate Decree.

New York. Jan. 1S.-A curious legal
tangle in the probate proceedings of
the estate OF William Ziegler. the
muiti-milionaire baking powder man
ufscturer. came to light in the surro-
gates court when Surrogate Cohalan
signed an order permitting Swan &
Moore. attorneys for William Ziegler.
the adopted son and heir of the de-
cedent. to nuIify a clause in an appeal
on accounting.
The order showed that Swan &
Moore. together with their attorneys
who objected to the accounting OF
the executors OF the estate. took an
appeal and then. through some mad
vertence. signed an approval of some,
at least. OF the acts they had ap-
pealed from. Had not the error been
discovered in time a serious miX-up
would have resulted
When the appeal was fled the
World published at length the dispo-
sition OF the estate. the accounting
OF the executors and the objections
OF young Mr.. Ziegler. The later had
TO do with the payment Of the estate
OF the late Mayor Gaynor of s2f.375
in commissions as executor on the
ground that although he had com
pleted his work the decree had not
been signed at the time OF his death.
on this objection Surrogate Coha-
Ian took the matter under advise
ment and many changes were made
in the decree. The attorneys signed
through error the revised version of
the decree, thinking they were sign
ing the original. The case had been
printed and was ready TO be sent to
the appellate division when the law
yers saw their mistake and fastened
TO the surrogate's court to correct 1t. |
The order permits them to eliminate /
from the printed pages the following: /

NOME LOOKS GOOD
 TO VISITORS

Parties arriving from the Yukon on the Senator reports that all of the inte- rior camps are very dull and the general briskness of Nome is greatly marked by contrast. One man who has visited several of the larger Yukon camps states that Nome Is booming town by comparison with the majority of the up river camps Hard luck stories of every description are related all indi- eating a profound industrial depres- sion from Dawson down. The latter town is said to be especially dull since the outbreak of the war while the lack of business in the lower camps Is oc- casioned largely by an absence of pay dirt in the various diggings. One par ty states that the present season will probably witness the working out of Flat creek in the Ruby section and the pay left in the main diggings in other camps is also very slim.
