Schooley's attempt to capture the Crawford estaic of over $1,000,000 re- ceived a hard setback. Judge Sando, in the orphans’ court, handed down an opinion in which he makes it clear that he believes the will presented by Schooley is a forgery. Schooley resides in Philadelphia and was a cousin of the late James L. Crawford, president of the People’s Coal company, of this city, who died in Florida on January 19, 1905, leav- ing an estate worth nearly $2,000,000. Soon after his death Mrs. Crawford had his will probated. It left practi- caily all of the estate to her. Sixteen months later Schooley pro- duced a wiil, which he alleged was made at a later date than the one probated by Mrs. Crawford. This gave Schooley the major portion of the Crawford estate. Then he began his fight to have this will recognized. He fs now under indictment in this coun- ty on a charge of forging the signa- ture of Mr. Crawford to the will, In the opinion Judge Sando declares that the evidence furnished to prove the will ungenuine is so overwhelming that the court has no other course than to refuse to consider the docu- ment, although two witnesses have sworn that they witnessed Crawford sign the will in favor of Schooley. At- torney S. B. Price, counsel for Mr. Schooley, says that an appeal to the supreme court will be taken. ALLEE DEFEATED FOR SENATOR | very weak and, Henry Richardson Caucus Nominee of Delaware Republicans. Dover, Del, Jan. 15.—Henry Rich- ardscn, of this county, was declared the Republican nominee for the United | States senate on the ninth ballot in | | | the lower branch of the Delaware | legislature The ballot resulted: Richardson, 20; Allee, 10; Burton, 1; Marshall, 1: Addicks, 1; Layton, 2; | Pennewill. 1. J. Frank Allee's sup- porters stood by him to the last, but the gradual defection of the men to Richardson made the present senator's selection by the caucus prac- tically impossible. This action by the Republican assemblymen virtually as- sures Mr. Richardson's nomination as United States senator, as it had been agreed by the members previous to the cancns that they would support in joint caucus whoever received 19 votes in the meeting. COAL OPERATOR ROBBED OF $2000 Thief Deceived Two Employes and Left No Trace Behind. Altoona, Pa.. Jan. 12.—George Scott, of Philadelphia, a well known coal op- erator, was robbed of $2000 at Por- tage. Scott drove from Phillipsburg to his Colonial mine, carrying the money with him in a buggy. When he reached the mine he left the money locked in a tool chest under care of the mine engineer and fireman, and went to the shaft to make an inspec- tion. While he was gone a man dressed like a miner told the engineer and fireman that Scott wanted them. They went into the mine, found that Scott did not want them, and hurried back to the tool house, where they found the box had been broken open and the money stolen. No trace of the thief can be found. It is supposed that the highwayman, learning that Scott was coming with the money, intended to waylay him, but missed him and fol- lowed him to the mine. HIS BODY FOUND IN RIVER Mysterious Disappearance of Philadel. phia Clubman Solved. Philadelphia, Jan. 14.—The body of Francis X. De Lone, the young club- man of this city, whose riderless horse was found in Fairmount Park on Wed- nesday, was recovered in the Schuyl- kill river. The body was found near a bridge which spans the river, and on which the young clubman was last seen riding his horse. It is believed that his mount became unmanageable, and that De Lone was thrown over the guard rail into the water. This theory is held by the police and De Lone's friends and relatives, and is borne out by the statement of a man who says he saw the young man trying to con- trol his herse on the bridge a short time before the arimal was found wan- dering in the park. When the police examined De Lone's body his jewelry and money were found intact. TWO LITTLE ONES SUFFOCATED 4-Year-Old Boy and 2-Year-Old Sister Met Death Playing With Matches. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 15. — James Pakac, aged 4 years, and his sister, Julia, aged 2, were suffocated at their home in a fire which they are sup- posed to have started while playing with matches. The children were left alone for a short time, and when the mother returned she found the house on fire. The children were nowhere to be seen. Firemen found them dead in a room in the upper part of the house, Their faces were scorched by the fire. Naval Storekeepers Arrested. New York, Jan. 15.—George W.

They were arraigned and held in $2500 bail each for examination Wednesday.

Savonarola is one of the most strik- ing characters in George Eliot's great historical novel “Romola,” the scene of which is in Florence and the period that of Savonarols’s career. The idea of writing the book occurred to the novelist while on a visit to Florence, and on a second visit to the city, In 1861. she began to carry out her proj- ect. The subject and design were for- eign to the author's genius, but she spared no pains in making a thorough study of the locality, the people and the literature of the Italian renais- sance for the purposes of her story. In her own words, the work “plowed into her” more than any of her books. She began it, she says, as a young wo- man and finished it as an old woman. Her picture of Florence and Savona- rola is undeniably impressive, and some critics declare “Romola” to be George Eliot's greatest novel and the character of Savonarola one of the finest delineations.—Pearson’s, i Size of Heads. The average adult head has a cir- cumference of fully twenty-two inches, The average adult hat is fully six and three-quarters size. The sizes of men's hats are six and three-fourths and six and seven-eighths generally. “Sevens” hats are common in Aberdeen, and the professors of our colleges generally wear seven and one-eighth to eight sizes. Heads wearing hats of the sizes six and three-eighths and smaller or being less than twenty-one inches in circumference can never be powerful. according to this au- thority, “no lady should think of mar- rying a man with a head less than twenty inches in circumference.” Peo- ple with heads under nineteen inches are mentally deficient and with heads under eighteen inches invariably idl Safest Place In Trains. “1 have one rule for my family when | toes travel.” said the conductor of the | suburban train, “and that is for them Everyone has heard of them. them.

If there is a smashup, those are the coaches that suffer. It seems strange that some kind of a buffer is not put behind the locomotive tender and at the rear of the train. How many lives would be saved by a device of the kind one las only to study the statistics of railroad accidents to fig- ure out for himself.” New York Press. A Lemon Instead. “Do you know,” a pretty bride of three months said to a friend the other day, “I think all these jokes about young wives having «o much trouble with butchers and grocers and being cheated and ail that is just too fool- ish.” “Then | presume you are getting on all right with yours, dear?” her friend inquired, “Why, of course 1 am! Anybody vould if they would just deal at a re- liable place.” the young wife declared. “Now, there is my grocer,” she con- tinned: “he is just as obliging and thoughtful as can be. The other day I ordered a dozen oranges, and when they ~1me I found there were but elev- en in the bag, so when I went to the store again I told him so. * “Why, yes, ma'am,’ he said, ‘I know, there were. I had put in a dozen, but I noticed that one of them was spoll- ed, and of course I wouldn't send you any but the best goods, so I took it out.’ “Now, don't you think that was nice in him to be so thoughtful and hon- est?’ she concluded.—Harper's Weekly. Gruesome Relic of Tragedy Found. New York, Jan. 14—The gruesome relic of a tragedy was found in a scow in the East river in the form of the headless and armless body of a man.
