Davis's Aslies Declared Genuine. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17.—At midnight the jury 1n the Davis will contest returned a verdict finding that the disputed testamentary document was genuine. If tht will is now admitted to probate by Judge Coffey an estate valued at over $1.000,000 will be divided between Mrs. Belle Curtis and her sister, Lizzie Muir. Mrs. Curtis is the wife of ex-Assemblyman John Curtis. The case was stubbornly fought by Eastern relatives of Davis, who claimed that the will offered for probate was a forgery. Jacob E. Davis arrived here in early days, formed a copartnership with Alex. Boyd, and, by judicious Investment of his money, soon became a millionaire. Whvn he died in the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia, last October, he was in the act of dictating a will disposing of his property. It was then believed that he had died intestate. A search of his personal effects in this city resulted in the finding of two wills, leaving all his property to his wife, but as she had died several years before him the wills were not of any value. Some four or five weeks after his death, a paper purporting to be his will was riled for probate in Judge Coffey's court. The will was brief, and disposed of the vast estate in a few words. Mrs. Belle Curtis and Miss Lizzie Muir were named as the legatees. A contest was at once begun by relatives of Davis who live in the East. They elaimVcl that the paper offered for probate was a forgery, and they asked in their petition that it be denied probate. The will was found in an urn containing the ashes of Mrs. Davis. The contestants claimed that the papVr had been slipped into the urn by the forgers and that it had been drawn several weeks after the death of Davis. The urn containing the ashes was brought into court and made an exhibit in the case. When the verdict was announced Attorney Haggerty at once that (he will be not. admitted to probate, notwithstanding the linding of tlie iurv that the paper war. genuine. He claimed that there was no evidence to prove that it had been legally executed. Judge Coffey said that he would listen to the argument and pass on the question of admitting the will to probate. If he decides to admit and accept the disputed paper the estate vdll be decided between Mrs. Curtis and Miss Muir, as they are the only ones named in the paper that the jury declared is genuine. Later—The will was to-day admitted to probate. Judge Coffee overruling the objections of the unsuccessful contestants, letters of administration with the will annexed were issued to Lizzie Muir and Mrs. Belle Curtis, the nieces, who are named in the will as sole legatees. The bond of the administrator w'as fixed at $650,000. Alexander Boyd, the partner of Davis, testitled that the estate consists of a one-half interest in the partnership property of Boyd & Davis and that the value of the one-half irterest of Davis is $1,042,721. The attorneys for the contestants propose to move for a new trial.

HOLDING THEIR WHEAT MANY WESTERN FARMERS ARE WAITING FOR HIGHER PRICES. Railways, However. Are Preparing to Move the Immense Crop by Building New Freight Cars. * ST. LOUIS, Aug. 17.—The four big roads that radiate from St. Louis into the wheat country to the south and southeast are making active preparations for moving the big crop when the. farmers are ready to throw that cereal on the market. Just now the farmers in the territory tributary to St. I>ouis are holding their wheat for higher prices. The four lines interested in the movement of grain from the South and West are the Missouri Pacific, the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, the St. Louis San Francisco and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. Local railroad men estimate that these lines have distributed 15,500 empty cars in the wheat-growing region. This equipment is looked on as merely an advance guard and will be increased daily. A large force of men is at work day and night in this city building 500 new freight cars for the Missouri Pacific. The Burlington is relying on its own equipment. That road began sending its surplus roiling stock to Nebraska weeks ago and now has nearly 5,000 cars there. The other two roads mentioned are supplementing their own equipment with cars from other lines, borrowing from Eastern roads whenever and wherever possible. They also have an army of ear tracers traveling about the country, gathering up their empty cars and sending them to tne agricultural centers. Local railroad officials say there will not be a car famine here, and that the movement of the immense grain crops will not interfere with the transportation of other classes of freight. Kokomo Pottery Going; Abroad. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Aug. 17. —The Great Western Pottery Company, of this city, shipped a large consignment of sanitary pottery to Edinburgh, Scotland, to-day.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Good times have come again to Evander Berry Wall, and the erstwhile “king of the dudes’’ is once more on the high road to prosperity. It was not so many years ago that his was a name to conjure with. Wherever society was, there was Berry Wall, or, to speak more correctly, wherever Berry Wall was there was society. Then there came a change. Evander Berry Wall, in the parlance, “went broke.” He sold his horses, he parted with many of his diamonds and—then he went to work. Now comes the news that he is a winner once more. Quietly he has been playing the stock market, and fortune has not only smiled but has beamed on him. A few hundreds have been run into thousands, and now' it is said lie possesses a goodly fortune. But there is none of the old display. Berry Wall is no longer “king of the dudes.” He no longer leads the german, sets Newport agog by the gorgeousness of his apparel or strikes terror to the plungers of the turf. Instead, he has settled down into a staid business man. and once more, in the vernacular, is “out for the stuif.”

IN WEST VIRGINIA. Judge Juckson’* Injunction Given a New and Broader Construction. WHEELING, W. Va„ Aug. 17.—Ex-Gov-ernor Fleming has returned from Parkersburg, where ho had been in consultation with Judge John Jay Jackson, and announced that the judge had given anew construction to his injunction against the strikers in the Fairmont region and in the Loup Creek valley’, which makes it mandatory upon the strikers to discontinue all marches, the marching being considered a torm of intimidation. Governor Fleming represents the miners, and orders to the marshals to arrest the marchers were sent with him by the judge. The miners as yet are paying no attention to this feature of the Injunction, and marches were made in Fairmont and New River to-day by forces led by O'Connell and Dilcher, respectively.

At the mines of the Central. Echo and Red Ash companies we held meetings. President Gomp is is with us to-day and his presence has had a good effect on the army. Our meeting to-day was attended by about 1,500 or 2,000 miners with their families. As to the injunction the officers are waiting for me to get into Loup Creek to serve it. I was notified this morning that three United States marshals were at Harvey and as I am writing come shouts of joy of the miners of Harvey coming in force to join us. We march on Loup Creek in the morning with new forces from New river.

TANARUS., Aug. 17.—Passenger train No. 405, south hound, on the Santa Fe, in charge of Conductor Beers and Engineer Rain, was held up at 12:15 o'clock this morning between here and Edmond by half a dozen masked highwaymen.

DAVID G. SWAIM DEAD ■ WELL-KNOWN ARMY OFFICER AND ONCE ADVOCATE GENERAL. ♦ Garfield'* Friend and Companion— Court-Martialed and Suspended, but Later Restored to Office. * WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-David G. Swaim, U. S. A., retired, late advocate general, died here to-day of Bright's disease. _ General Swaim was born in Salem, 0., Dec. 22, 1834. He came of a family represented in all of the early wars of the United States, and conspicuously in the war ot 1812. His father was the friend of Joshua R. Giddings, Salmon P. Chase and other advanced political thinkers of the day, ana was one of the few men who organized the Eree-soil party in Ohio. General Swaim received an academic education, studied law r , and began practice at Salem. On the outbreak of the war he entered the volunteer service as a lieutenant, rising rapidly to the rank of major and brevet colonel, when mustered out in 1866. He served throughout the war, paticipating in many memorable engagements and being for a time on the staff of General Thomas. After the war he was attached to the regular army as major and judge advocate. He was the trusted friend of and companion of Presdent Garfield and attended him through the long fatal hours that preceded his untimely death. On Eeb. 18, 1878, Major D. G. Swaim was appointed advocate general of the army, with the rank of brigadier general, by President Hayes. He was a trained lawyer, m good practice, before the war, and was selected to perform the duties of judge advocate, several times during the war. His ability led two successive commanders of the Army of the Cumberland, Rosecrans and Thomas, to consult him on important questions of military and civil law. After the war ne was appointed m tne regular army and assigned to the duty of judge advocate in the organization of the Fourth Military district. L’nder the operation ot the reconstruction acts many important cases came under his conduct. One of these finally came to assume national importance, the only one of all the cases arising under the military governments of the South that lived through the subordinate courts and got to the Supreme Court of the United States. That was the famous “McCardle case,” which Major Swaim won in tne United States Circuit Court, in Mississippi, against such an array of legal talent as ex-Governor Sharkey, W. P. Harris, Judge Yerger, Tom Marshall and other prominent lawyers. The reputation of Major Swaim led to his being detailed from the Department of the Missouri, where he had been stationed for many years, to take charge of important cases in various parts of the country. The records of the judge advocate general s department are full of the evidences of the learning and thoroughness of Major Swaim in tlxe discussion of important questions arising in his own corps of the army. A prominent one of these discussions related to “Courts-martial and the Constitution thereof in the Army of the United States,” and was printed in 1574. It is an able and exhaustive review of the history of military law in England and in the United States. In 1884 General Swaim was accused of giving evasive answers to the secretary ot war regarding a private transaction, tried by court-martial and acquitted of fraudulent practices, but convicted of conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline. The sentence imposed by the military court was disapproved. The court then sentenced General Swaim to suspension from rank and duty on half pay for twelve years. This brought the expiration of his sentence and the date of his retirement the same year (1596.) General Swaim sued in the Court of Claims to recover full pay, the court deciding that the evidence showed no offense, hut that the Court of Claims had not jurisdiction to review court-martial proceedings. Tlie ease went to the Supreme Court on appeal and was decided adversely. Dec. 3, 1894, Secretary Lament, by direction of the President, remitted the unexpired portion of his sentence and restored him to all the rights and privileges of his office. He preferred not to take up his effieifi! duties on account of ill health, and remained on tne active list waiting hi? retirement, which took place Dec. 22, 1894. Since his retirement he resided in Washington, lie leaves a wife and one child, the wife of L. L. Thompson, of this city. Senator George’s Remains Interred.

Lane and the Hobart estate, and is said to produce $200,000 worth of gold a month. Flames and smoke- were discovered issuing from the eight-hundred-foot level station, No. 4. at 4 o'clock this morning. Six men were in the mine, but made their way through the south end of the n’ew shaft. The tire is supposed to have originated from spontaneous combustion caused by lard and coal oil. The loss will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Not only are the mine owners affected, but the whole town of Angel's, which contains a population of six thousand or thereabouts, who are almost dependent on the miners employed in the Utica group of mines. There are one thousand mv-n employed by the company, and, should the fire prove as serious as reported, these men will be left in destitute circumstances. Every effort is being mad'e to quench the fire as rapidly as possible, but gas and smoke are escaping from all the shafts, which are being rapidly bulkheaded. While stopping th'e Utica several firemen were suffocated. The mine is being rapidly flooded. All the main pipes have been cut and about three thousand inches of water ar'e pouring into the shaft. A hose is playing water into the Stickle shaft, where the lire was first discovered. It will take at least four days to flood the mine, and it Is estimated that, in cas'e no more serious results should happen afterwards, it will take at least two months to pump out the water and tit the mines for regular operation. On July 21, 1895, a similar fire occurred, and it was seven weeks before work could be resumed. The shafts are deeper now, and it will undoubtedly tak’e a much longer time. The Uticq mine, which is the largest quartz gold mine in the world, is worked by chlorination process, containing two hundred stamps and fourteen roasting ovens, besides an immense amount of nee’essary machinery owned by the Hobart estate, A considerable amount of the property formerly belonged to the late Senator Fair. It is 'estimated that the net profits of the mine exceed $1,500,000 per annum. PLAYING CARDS. They NVere Brought to Europe from the East by Gypsies. Boston Herald. Flaying cards are an importation from the East and their origin is to be sought for in the most remote antiquity. Their introduction into Europe, which took place about the end of the thirteenth century, was due to gypsies. It must not, however, be imagined that these very ancient cards, derived from a quarter so remote, bore much resemblance to those now in use, which are mainly, in point of fact, of French origin. They bore emblematical figures, mysteriously grouped in accordance with the lore of Ind, and were doubtless employed rather for the fancied interpretation of the will of an unseen God than for amusement. Much research has been employed in seeking the origin of playing cards, and there has been no little controversy regarding the date of their first appearance in Europe. For a long time it was generally believed that playing cards were first invented in Europe and that Jaquemin Gringonneur. a French painter, had first painted a deck of them to serve as pastime for the melancholic King Charles VI of France. That such had been the case is shown by the fact that there are still preserved at he Paris library seventeen cards which had boon painted by that artist for the purpose indicated, as an account book of the court treasurer of Charles VI conclusively proves, wherein the expenditure of a certain amount paid to Gringgonneur for three decks of playing cards, painted in gold and colors, is duly entered. Later researches have proved, though, that cards had been Introduced in Europe before that time, and an Italian author, Feliciano Btissi. in the history of Viterbo cites a passage from an unpublished chronicle of Viterbo, Nicolo de Coveluzzo, wherein it is mentioned that playing cards were brought to Europe in 1279 by the Saracens. This statement is supported by the fact that the Spaniards, who were the first to come in contact with the Saracens after their conquest of the Iberian peninsula, call their card “naipes,” which word undoubtedly is derived from “na-eeb,” the Saracen name of the game.

THE OCEAN HOLD-11’. Complaint of tlie Tipping Nuisance on Bottl'd Atlantic Steamships. Robert P. Porter, in Philadelphia Inquirer. But this question of ocean tipping has reached a point where it is almost unendurable for people of moderate means. Ocean tipping has simply become a science The ingenuity expended on this organization of the servants of a ship so that tniy will extort the most out of the passengers is stupendous. If a man with a small family can escape for less than 100 marks on a ship like the Fuerst Bismarck he is lucky and will probably have some harsh things said about him. In these criticisms I am not blaming the servants. They deserve all they get, but the trouble is, 1 fear, that the companies pay them such small salaries that the tips they get out of the passengers become a matter of life and death to them. A sensitive man feels that from the moment ho scrambles up the gangway and is brought face to face with tne various petty functionaries who are *o administer to his comfort for the week, that he is an object of perpetual scrutiny as to how much lie is likely to yield in the way of tips. , , ~ Is he an old traveler? Has he a full appreciation of the services about to be rendered? Is he strict or liberal? Is ho rich or poor? Is he most accessible to small attentions? Can h.s purse be opened widest by attention at the table or in the cabin? The first of this tip-hungry combination he must face is the head saloon steward. He must have a seat at the table. The man who fails to “see” the chief steward gets a seat at the farthest and least desirable part of the saloon. Nothinig short of cash in advance “goes" with this man. unless you happen to be known to the captain or purser and an order for a <l. cent seat given in advance. Having arranged your seat, the next contest comes on deck with the "deck steward.” He knows the most desirable places for chairs, and nothing short of a cash tip or out-and-out promise will secure such a location. Occasionally some old traveler gets aboard early and holds the fort, but it is struggle unless you are “in” with the deck steward, lor your chair any morning disappears to the furthermost part of the deck, and it is a constant battle, with the odds against the old traveler. If a friend sends you a basket of truit and you want that on lee, neither the dining room steward nor the room steward, nor the deck steward dare t< uch it. That is the way the second steward introduces himself. The basket of fruit is left twenty-four hours outside the cabin on deck or anywhere, until your wife says it will he all spoiled unless put on ice. The stewards have been repeatedly spoken to about it. but have done nothing. At this juncture the second steward appears, and ingratiates himself. He takes charge of the fruit. After that, if the conversation is satisfactory, and an actual tip given or prospective one probable, the fruit is attended to with great regularity and supplied in small platefuls to the stateroom and on the table. The great men disposed of, we come to numerous other stewards you are liable to run up against if you have; a family. Ihe dining room steward and bedroom steward are really the two who contribute to your comfort, and a generous tip to each of them should be a pleasure, and always is. so far as I am concerned. If a lady is in your party the stewardess is in evidence, and, ev'ii'though she may do nothing, expects to receive a tips ’I ake a few hooks from the library, and at the settling up and final return of the last volume, the night before arrival, the library steward expects a tip. If you use the smoking room, either for card playing or smoking or drinking, or even to occasionally light your cigar, a subscription is put under your nose tor the smok room steward. One or two of the ladies of vour party may nave had some lunch on deck, and this places vou under obligations to the deck steward who may or may not have been the man who arranged' the chairs the first day out. and whose implied contract is to give you a claim deed to a certain portion of the deck, regardless of the rights of others or of the fact that you never use the space (I know of people who have thus pre-empted space on deck and afterwards played poker all the way oven for which you have, to be sure. paid. There are no concerts on the Ct rman boats, but a p-’per i passed around to everybody while at dinner, and they are personally r r ‘ouestf and to pay so much for th • music, which is advertised as one of the great attractions of the line. This is the most offensive thing of the whole lot. because there is no getting out of it. The steward stands behind you until you have "signed off,” and then passes it to your neighbor. There was lots of kicking over this. The amount signed for is then placed In your wine bii! as “music," so In this case you pay the piper direct. There are minor sad-eyed stewards who sigh in the seclusion of the

main deck for a tip. among them the presiding genius of the bathroom (as there were only two bathtubs on the Fuerst-Bis-marek, half the passengers had to go without bathing)., the toilet room man. who haunts you the last day or so. and. to close the gentle army of tipsters, the man who blacks the boots generally appears as an apparition just as you are getting off sans all small change. Still, he has done something, and a small sum makes him happy. Here the story closes, and in conclusion it may be well to remark that if a man can run the gauntlet of this variegated assortment of humanity front the pompous chief steward to the humble toilet room man and “boots.” including the brass band, and escape with less than a tax of 100 marks, or $25. he will he more fortunate than a good many. Not that the laborer is net worthy of his hire, but if the evils of tips—which often mean reduced wages for these poor fellows—continue, we may have the captains af vessels holding the pas.senger up for a "collection" In order to get into port on time, and the purser “passing around a paper” before he will allow the daily provisions out of cold storage. The rich American passenger is to blame for much of this, for he has thrown his money around most recklessly, in this way making it disagreable for his fellow-traveler of moderate means. That the foreigner should organize, as it were, to get the most out of his prodigality is hardly a matter for surprise. NEW “DIVINE HEALER.” August Schrader Blessing the Sick and Lame of New York. NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—August Schrader, who calls himself a “divine heater,” has been here for a week, but it was not until this evening that he made his presence known by operating a headquarters and displaying a banner with the words "divine healer” emblazoned on an orange field. Schrader says he was born in Green Bay, Wis., thirty-one years ago. and at th'e age of thirteen God told him He liked him and was pleased to make him His instrument to help people get rid of their afflictions. Since that time, he says, he has been fairly prosperous. Six months ago he claims, he made a tour o’; the West and was last In Atlanta. Ga„ where he blessed forty-five thousand people. Most of the applicants for his “blissing” were negroes. Two persons, a man and a baby, were blessed by Schrader to-night, and, from all appearances, there is not much interest here in the "divine healer.” THE RETIRED 111 KULAK.

I wanted to go in at such a window. So I set about rigging up an apparatus that should he light and strong, and easily portable, and that I could operate myself while I was standing on it. “It was of a steel frame construction, the contrivance that 1 got up, with a little shelf on top to stand on. and it worked telescopically. the side rods rising in sections, carried up in guides, and held by ratchets.

So I set it down on the ground alongside the house and settled it down firmly and got on to it and started turning on the wheel. It worked smoothly, and I raised myself gradually until the platform, with me on it, was"about half way up the first-story window; that brought my head about on a level with the sill of the window above. Then something happened.

HANDLING SOILED MONEY. How Cur Con ii uctors Often Hnve Inclean Hands. New York Evening Post. Persons who have noticed how greatly in need of being laved the hands of cable-ear conductors invariably are have possibly rushed to unjust and uncharitable conclusions. Those begrimed palms, tinged with yellowish green, are a decisive demonstration that money is. indeed, “filthy lucre.” “It don’t do no good to wash 'em.” said one of tlie conductors to whom the matter had been as delicately broached as possible. “In the first place, you couldn’t get ’em real clean, if you tried, after they ve got stained in with all them coppers and nickels and dirty silver and hills. It is a caution how that greenish stuff do go through your hands and stick to ’em. Talk about hot water and scrubbng brusn and soap—they can't budge it. You can take the skin off. but there's that coppery color, all the same. I don't expect over to get my hands clean ag'in—'specially my right one. When I first come on the road 1 washed my hands at the end of every run. hut before I'd finish half the trip back they’d be as black and yellow and green as they was. I didn't get no credit for having washed ’em; it didn’t do no good; it was a lot of bother, and so 1 give it up. I see people looking at my hand when I hold it out for fare as if they was cogitatin’ whore I come from, and delicate folks—’specially ladies—fairly shrinks, and is so afraid of touching my palms that they drops their contributions from a lofty distance, and sometimes on to the floor. Then they expect me to pick the money up. I can't help wondering if thev re Christian folk, and if they ain't sensible enough to see that it ain’t my fault that my hands is so unpresentable. But they don't; they seem to condemn me from the word go, and never imagine that 1 mignt keep my hands as clean as theirs if I only had the chance. “Nobody knows how dirty money is until he takes it in on a ear—’specially a Broadway cable car, because there's r -o m”rh of it goes through his fingers in the day. I guess the coppers is about the worst. -dost if the stain comes from them, hut the silver helps along powerful, and the hills, too.

Then the nickels and silver thoy’s about as bad. T don t know how they get so much dirt on ’em.

The Eccentric Career of the Late Earl of V ylesforil. W. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record. The late Earl of Aylesford died a few years ago at Big Springs, Tex., on the line of the Texas Pacific Railway, v.hnv ho had an immense ranch and lived like a cowboy. He was the plaintiff in a famous divorce suit, in which the Prince of Wales was a co-respondent, and "perjured himself like a gentleman” in his efforts to savo his own reputation and that of the Countess of Aylesford. hut did not quite succeed in doing so. The ease did not ter nio ita as the earl desired, however so he discarded his wife, repudiated his child, and went to Texas to drink himself to death, which he succeeded in doing after several years of persistent effort. I visited him at his ranch in 1881 or 18S2. end found him too drunk to recognize me. He had entertained a party of cowboys arid rustlers at dinner the night before. Tho remains of the feast were still cn the table and the floor when we arrived about 10 in the morning, while several of the guests were lying about in various stages of dlshahite. sleeping off the effects of his hospitality. In the rear of the one-story cabin was a peculiar monument which the noble earl was pleased to erect in commemoration of his achievements. All the whisky bottles he had emptied were carefully preserved and piled upon each other in an ingenious manner until they reached higher than the roof. Th people of Big Springs said he was a good fellow when he was sober. Not a ranchman within five hundred miles was half as popular as he. and there was a good deal of sympathy expressed for him. Public sentiment granted an indulgence for his excesses because a woman and a prince had ruined his life. , • When the earl died in a fit of delirium tremens his younger brother. Lord Guernsey inherited the title. As the son s patentage was disputed, no contest was made. The countess, who had been living in retirement in France on a pension from the estate, died shortly after, but they say that the present ear) is taking of the hoy. The dowager countess is living at Tjeamington, venerable and highly respectable.
