A WASTI'.I) .SCOOP.
"lis Story Would Have Ilcon n Hum
mer Hut Tor 1 11 11 tit' i) 1 i sil Itniisons.
"from tbe Detroit Free Press1.
"Hardest piece of reporting I ever
did," sighed the old newspaper man,
"never got Into print. It doesn't re
iuii' much to put n keen reporter on
the scent. A careless remark made in
my hearing suggested that a wealthy
corporation had suflered heavily
through embezzlement. 1 went to the
president of the institution with the
rotcnsi cf a cnod deal more Informa
tion than I possessed. He not only
denied everything but made the too
common mistake of abusing reporters
in general and mt' In particular. Such
treatment tends to produce pernicious
nctivlty on tlis part of the abused. .
"A little later I overheard a rapid
friend of the president's son expressing
hurprlse that he should have left the
oity so nuddonly and in such a hurry.
Tl was the opinion of the rakish friend
that there must be a big lark on hand.
This put a conviction into my head,
and thes? Intuitive convictions often
lead up to great news.
"That evening, through a gracious
request of ths city editor, I was driven
to the palatial residence of the presi
dent. There was an evening party on
owl when a spirit like unto that of the
immortal six hundred had carried me
past the imposing Individual nt the
door, I gazed upon a vision of fair wo
men who were onlv fashionably chary
of their fairness, and men more or less
brave. The handsome old president, a
born bluffer, blustered into the hall
and was rapidly arranging for my exit
upon the boot toe of a pleblan function
ary, when I began in a loud voice to tell
whnt 1 didn't know about the son. He
fairly dragged mo up stairs, nnd there
ilnished the wholo disgraceful story
with a well-backed request that I sup
press It. I referred him to the city edi
tor and hurried to the oillco where I
wrote a 'heat that was a hummer.
"I heard coupe after coupe drive to
the front of the office. in the wee
hours stockholders appeared on the
scene. The child of my enterprise and
genius was strangled. Perhaps it was
best."

THE QUEER WILLS
OF QUEER PEOPLE
A Alan Who Wanted the Irish to Drink
Themselves to Death.
A CLERGYMAN'S STRANQB DEQUEST
How nn Old Ocruutn Iioft His I'or
tunc to n Itclntlvo Whom Ho I)ls
llliciU-A Vulot Who Expected n

That Wore Nut to llliytnc
There Is probably no subject of moro
general interest than wills! everyone
who desires to dispose of his property
and to control the earnings of. his life
nfter death must make one. No sub
ject furnishes so much material for the
modern novelist, and many and weird
are the tlctltlous documents created by
our authors. Lawyers frequently say
that some wills of fiction nre utterly
Inconceivable as actual facts. Never
theless, says the Philadelphia Times,
legal records show more eccentric,
more amblguous.more astounding wills
than all novels of the world combined.
Every will, unless drawn by the fam
ily lawyer, In the most formal manner,
rellects something of the character of
the testator, and necessarily reflects
his opinion on one subject or another.
Thus it Is quite evident that the man
who began his will by saying, "This is
my will, and the Court of Chancery
need not make another for me," evi
dently had a small opinion of chan
cery, which was perhaps Justified, as
chancery did not fall to make his will
over for him.
A down-caster made a will In which
every bequest showed his true Yankee
wit: "To my wife one shilling per
week, wherewith to buy hazlenuts, as
she has always preferred cracking
them to darning my stockings. To my
oldest sister my five-acre field, to con
sole her for being married to a man
whom she is obliged to henpeck. To
my sister Ellen the family Bible, rec
ommending her to learn as much of its
spirit as she already knows of its let
ter, that she may become a better
Christian. To my sister Lydia my sil
ver drinking cup, for reason known to
herself. To my brother John my
books, that he may learn to read with
them. To my brother-in-law Christo
pher my best pipe, out of gratitude
that he married my sister Lydia, whom
no man of sense would have taken."
AN ENGLISHMAN'S WILL.
An Englishman who lived in Ireland
nnd who entertained a violent dislike
for the Hllwrnlans, made one of the
most novel wills ever recorded. One
of the provisions was as follows:
"I give and bequeath the annual sum
of ten pounds, to be paid in perpetual
ly out of my estate, to the following
purpose: It Is my will and purpose that
this sum shall be spent in the pur
chase of a certain quantity of the
liquor vulgarly called whisky, and it
shall be publicly given out that a cer
tain number of persons, Irish enly, not
to exceed twenty, who may choose to
usseifc'le In the cemetery In which I
shall be interred, on the anniversary
of my death, shall have the wme dis
tributed to them."
"Further, It Is my desire that each
shall receive It half a pint at a time till
the whole Is consumed: each likewise
being provided with a stout oaken stick
and a knife, nnd they shall drink It all
on the pot. Knowing what I know of
the Irish character, my conviction Is
that with these materials given, they
will not fall to destroy each other, and
when, in the course of time, the race
comes to be exterminated, this neigh
borhood, at least, may bo colonized by
civilized and respectable Englishmen."
A vindictive old German, who violent
ly disliked his only relative, left him
ids large fortune, provided he should
nlways reside in the state of Michigan
and always wear white linen clothes,
and should not supplement these by
extra garments In winter.
A dissenting clergyman of Yorkshire
made the following remarkable be
quests: "To my daughter Mary ",00
pounds, provided she dress with greater
decency than heretofore. To John
Edmunds nothing, knowing that ac
cording to his custom he will give it
all to the poor. To the vestry of the
established church of this village five
crowns, to provide six Bibles every
year, for which six men and six women
shall throw dice on Whit Tuesday after
service, at which time the clergyman
shall kneel at the south end of the
rommurlon table and pray God to di
rect the luck to hla glory."
KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Possibly no will ever showed a more
thorough understanding of human na
ture than that of the Marquis of A,
who made the folowlng bequest to his
valet: "As for you, my good and ad
mirable valet, who have so long taken
me for your dupe you will now learn
It is you who have been mine. When,
at the conclusion of my dinner, you
thought I was aplaudlng your economy
and zeal, In carefully putting together
the remains of bottles of wine and
keeping them for the next meal, it
never occurred to you that I knew you
took for your own use whole bottles.
When you came to mo with tearful
eyes and coaxing voice to wait on me
the moment I was suffering from any
trilling Indisposition, presenting to me
your service nnd sympathy, you little
thought how my Instinct followed you
into the servants' hal, guessed the lan
guage In which you expressed yourself
there, 'The fellow can't last much lon
ger; then I shall get my hard-earned
legacy.' Well, my dear fellow, you
made a mistake. I bequeath you the
motto, 'Masters are not always stupid
er than their servants.' "
Some of the most remarkable wills
have been made-by monarchs and other
distinguished nersons.
Henry VII. desired in his will that
"our executors and supervisors of our
testament have, a special respect In our
funeral to the laud and praising of God,
the health of our soul, and somewhat
to our dignity royal, but avoiding
pomp and outrageous superfluities."
Rabelais, the great satirist, made the
following will: "I have no available
property. I owe a great deal; the rest
I give to the poor." The shortest will
Ro;d mikes the food pore,
wlioltsome and delicious.

WILLS IN RHYME.
Many wills in rhyme have been re
corded and the provisions duly carried
out, some of them very elaborate and
others consisting of a single couplet.
In 1803 a will was contested and con
firmed which read:
I glvo and bequeath,
When I'm laid underneath,
To my two loving sisters most dear.
The whole of my Btore,
Were It twice as much more,
Which God's goodness has given mo here.
And thnt none may prevent
This my will and Intent,
Or occasion the least of law racket,
With a colemn appeal
I confirm, sign and seal
This the truo act and deed of Will HacK
ett. Another which was produced Xy a
Philadelphia attorney of no mean repu
tation ran thus:
As to all my worldly goods now, or to be,
in store,
I glvo to my bc'.ovcd wife and her for-
evermorc.
I give all freely, I no limit fix
This is my will and she's executrix.
LONGEST UAIMtOAI) IIUN.
Tho Cornwall Express from Loudon to
Exeter Goes 19 1 .Miles Without Stop.
The longest regular dally run made
without a stop by any railway train In
the world has Just been placed on the
schedule of the Great Western Rail
way, of England,
It is made between Paddington Sta
tion, in London, nnd Exeter, a dis
tance of 194 miles, in three hours and
thirty-six minutes, by what Is known
as the Cornwall express. It is remark
able not so much owing to the time as
for the fact that not a stop is made
from one end of tho run to the other.
There have been longer runs made
without a stop, but they have been
made by special and not regular trains.
Tho average speed attained by tho
Cornwall express when making this
run is 63.8 miles an hour, although,
owing to a peculiar construction of the
road at Bristol, 118 miles from Lon
don, the train is obliged to slow down
to a speed of ten miles an hour.
The express train is composed of six
long coaches, a tender and engine. An
American would call it a vestibule
train, but the English prefer to call
the cars "bogie clerestoried corridor
coaches," bogie being a term applied
to the trucks. They are fully as heavy
as an ordinary drawing room car, each
one weighing about forty-seven thou
sand pounds, while the train without
engine and tender weighs one hundred
and forty tons. The weight of the en
gine and tender is eighty-one tons,
making tho total weight 'of the train
as it rushes along on its long run two
hundred and twentv-one tons.
During the run it is necessary to
take water for the engine twice. This,
however, does not necessitate any stop,
as It Is taken up from a trench beside
the track as the train speeds along at
nearly a mile a minute.
The engine which draws this essen
tially "through train" is a curious
looking, ponderous affair quite unlike
any locomotive seen on American
roads. It has on either side a single
huge driving wheel seven feet eight
Inches in diameter, while what must
by comparison be termed the small
wheels of the engine, six in number,
known as trailers, are four feet six
inches in diameter.
The water tank of the engine holds
thirteen thousand gallons, and when
running at full speed there Is a steam
pressure of 100 pounds to the square
inch, while there is a heating surface
of 1,561 square feet.
Each day the run Is 'made, the train
leaving Paddington Station at 10.25
o'clock in the morning, and it never
fails to roll Into St. David's station, In
Exeter, exactly on time. The time al
lowed by the schedule on this run
mr.':es no allowance for delays of any
kind. Even the time lost in going over
the loop around Bristol and the neces
sary slowing down when going through
Bath is not allowed for.

Wnll Street Review.
Now York, Aug. 18. High water mark
for tho season was reached In the wheat
market today, not only on values but as
to tho volume of transactions as well.
Prices advanced 4W to 6 csnU for the tiny
and sales reached tho big lot of 10,313,WO
bushels, Excitement prevailed in the mar
ket from start to Ilnlsh, but particularly
in the last hour when tho advances be
came so rapid that frequently the fluc
tuations were marked by !1 cent fractions
Instead ot tho M and 1-16 changes that
are ordinarily seen. Tho total runge on
September was 91U to 94H cents against
89 cents, the lowest .price of yesterday.
The greater part of today's proceedings
on tho noor of tho Stock exchange con
sisted of a kind of fencing for position or
to develop tho position of opposing ele
ments. The buMs were not In an nggres
slvo mood and there was not nt any tlmo
during tho day un nctlvo buying demand.
Total sales were 335,006 shares.
