WILL THAT ALARMED WORLD
Eccentric Frenchman Planned to
Build Up Large Estate, But In
the End sionalIy Failed.

Mingled wonder, indignation and
alarm were excited in the public mind
over will left by Peter Thelusson, q
Frenchman, who died on July Fl, 1907.
It appears that the testator had accu-
mulated large fortune as London
merchant, and by the provisions Of his
will he left to his wife and children
the sum Of 100000, and the residue
Of his property, amounting to
about 100000, he committed to
trustees, to accumulate during the
lives Of his sons, and finally to revert
to his eldest great-grandson. Should
no heir exist the accumulated prop
erty was to be conveyed to the sink.
ing fund for the reduction Of the ma.
tional debt. According to the lowest
calculation it was estimated that the
fortune would amount to ELS, 600, 600.
The will was generally stigmatized as
absurd and illegal, and the family test
ed it in court, where It was sustained,
as 1t was likewise In the house Of lords.
In 1900 an act was passed making null
all requests for the purpose Of &C.
cumulation for longer than twenty
years after the testator's death. The
last grandson died in 1855, and dis
pute arose as to whether the eldest
sons grandson should inherit or the
eldest great-grandson. It was decided
in favor Of the former. By reason Of
litigation and accidents Of management
the fortune inherited was little more
than the original 100000.

When he stepped into the White
House Arthur found his party rent
by factions. He left it more nearly
united than it had been before in
20 years and with at least a chance
to win again in 1884. He might him
self have been the Republican NOM
inee in that year If he had not scrupu-
lousy refused to take an active part
In promoting his candidacy =
II He looked as we'll as acted the presi-
dent. The first city man in line Of
rural or small town men, Arthur was
the best dressed man to sit in the chair
since Washington, and perhaps the
handsomest, with q tall, graceful fig
ure, the manners Of the great world
and a grave but easy courtesy
Although a widower president, his
sister, Mrs. McElroy. was charming
mistress of the White House and under
them the social life of the mansion
took on a more sumptuous tone. His
son and namesake was away at school
much of the time, but his little daugh-
ter, Nellie Arthur, lit up the house.
hold with her song and laughter. =
: Mrs. Arthur died only in the year be-
fore her husbands unexpected rise to
the presidency, and her absence from
his side was haunting sorrow to Ar
thur. ,sA~x2 1sseS :gsas.+.-s'. III = &.
Declining to remove the collector. of
the port Of New York, whom Garfield
had appointed, against his protest, he
even permitted that of1ceholder to
leave his post and oppose him in the
contest at the national convention.
No other president has done so little
as Arthur did to obtain second term.
TWAS we'll, not only for the sake of
the high example he set, but for his
own sake also. Arthur's health was
not equal to the strain OF another
administration and another term in
the White House, where he lived not
wisely but too we'll. In less than two
years after leaving the presidency, fol-
lowed by the good will of all the PEG.
pie, he was dead Of apoplexy.

that we must get rid Of factions and

Committee Expects to Establish Many
Fairgrounds in the City.
Plavgrounds for all High Point chill
dren is the object of the playground
committee appointed by the city coun
Gil and head by Councilman w. L.
Stamey.
Plans for the esta blishment Of High
Points first playground were com
pleted last April when an order was
made for playground equipment to be
delivered in this city. The order was
held up on account of congested trat
tic conditions, but part of it has al
ready arrived and the last shipment
has left the factory, Mr.. Stamey an
nounced today. The fourth shipment
is expected to reach High Point the
last of the week and following It's ar
rival here an inspector will come here
from the factory and see to it that it
is properly put together.
The first playground will be estab-
lished on the vacant lot at the corner
of North Main and Church streets
However, it will not be the only play
ground in High Point if the plans OF
the citR council are perfected. 1t is
the intention of the committee to es-
tablish Fairgrounds at each OF the
schools .9f the city and the playground
on North Main street will be the CEN
trail playground The equipment there
will represent more than $1,000 of the
city's money
A cannon recently procured by the
council from the war department has
arrived in High Point and was placed
on the city lot on North Main street.
There has been some discussion in
H,g,. Point with regards to the ap-.
pointment of a playground commits
sion, but whether it will be done re-
mains for the city council to decide.
Councilmen, it is said, have favored
the idea of employing an instructor
in playground work for the city, but
when the matter will come to a crys-
talizati.on is not known at the present.
The belief was freely expressed to-
dav that such an instructor would be
of great service to the youth of High
Point and the council may decide to
name one.
1t was announced that High Point
negroes have purchased playground
and expect to place it on
the grounds of one of the schools OF
the city. It was purchased through
tlae playground committee.

Many bad cases of kidney trouble
result from cold or chill Congested
kidneys fall behind in filtering the

first sign of kidney trouble Follow
this High Point residents example:
A Spencer, 300 Hobson St., says:
Some time ago I suffered from kid
ney trouble. l think being out in the
open lot, catching cold and fits set
Ting on my kidneys caused my trou-
BILE. My back was sore and when
bent over it was a strain on my back
and 1 could hardly straighten. Ny
kidneys also acted irregularly and I
had headaches, too. I started using
Doan's Kidney Pills and after had
taken one box, my back felt stronger
and my kidneys acted regularly.
When I don't feel just right now,
