The realduary legates contested the three •10,000 Items and the 050,000 Item. The court confirmed the 010 000 Items but on technical grounds ueu that Hto050,000blqbcMwas inoperative The readers of The Commoner have already been Informed of the main facts, namely, that the widow and other relatives a ere bountifully pro"' vtded tor; that the testator’s Intention wag never questioned and that the Charge of undue Influence was with drawn; and that Mr. Bryan announc ed In the beginning that be would not accept the bequest without the con sent of tbs widow, but that he felt In honor bound to insist upon the die trlbutlon of the 050,000 as directed by Mr. Bennett. Mr. Bryan was thus drawn into a contest In which he had but a remote and contingent pecuniary luterest, it In fact he bad any at all, but which be could not in eonaelenoe abandon The contest cost him a little more than fifteen hundred dollars for attor nay's toes and court costs, besides travelling expan— and 1— of In submitting hto report as execu torhe dalm 3d toe cm tomary fee 01, 100, explaining that the amount would not be used by him for himself, but would be spent In completing the plans by Mr. Bannett.

As the boys who are helped by the fund are to return tbe money to tbe college as soon after leaving college as they can oonvlently do eo and as the money when eo returned Is to be advanced to others the aid extended will corstantly increase. The girls aided are asked to do the same, but It not required of them. In distributing the prize fund pre ference was given to state universities except where the state contained some oollege of greater Importance. In distributing the funds for the aid of poor boys and girls preference generally given to the smaller oollege*—the same amount of money going father among these colleges. . All the principal denominations were recognized In the distribution— a little partiality being shown the Congregational colleges because Mr FABMRHS FRIEND The Partridge PestroyM Many Noxi ous Weeds and In—ts. . _ * birds to that It to a valuable asset of tbe farmer and helpful rather than destructive to the growing crops. A thorough study of tbe bird lies been nude by tbe department without finding any evidence that it to harm ful to erops. It eats principally nox ious weed seeds and bugs Injurious to tbe crops. It does not trouble either tbe sprouting grain, as do the crows and blackbirds, and does not feed on the standing crop* or forage among the stacks. When It dees eat grain It is only what to gleans from the har vested fields. It prefers weeds and does not eat wheat and corn if it can get sumach, ragweed and bay berries. A close calculation was made by tbe department of tbe number of Bob Wbltee In Virginia and North Carr- llna, the total approximating 354,820. It is known from a long series of ex periments that tbe craw of the bird tiolds about half an ounce, of which fully 50 per cent is weed seed. At this rate from September I to April 30 In Virginia and North Carolina aibne, tbe birds eat 3,34 J tons of weed seeds. Among tbe insects on which the birds habitually feed are tbe Rock Mountain locust, In Colorado potato buy, the boll weevil, the cut worm, the army worm and two sorts of cot ton worms. The chicks are even more highly Insectivorous than the old ktata.- ■ X ■ - -• The department urges all land own ers, to realize the value of the Bob White. It says that with proper man agement some farms of 600 to 1,000 acres would yield more revenue from Bob Whites than from poultry. It Is estimated that between 300,000 and 400,000 sportsmen go out from the cit ies every fall to hunt the Bob White, r r*vn- and this, of course, means a big reve ers.

Paradoxical as It may seem, sports dun exercise a powerful Influence In protecting the birds. Many big pre serves are maintained where tbe quail are uaed only for field trials for dogs and are either not shot at all or shot under very dose restrictions. Some clnbe maintain preserves of 20,000 to 50,000 seres, and many sportsmen bsve their own preserves exduel vely for dog trials. The demand for live quill lor this purpou Is steadily Increasing, and there would be a good revenue If the Bab White could be bred In uptivlty on any extensive scale. Thla hu been tried and hu proved difficult, but tbe birds can be protected from their na tural enemies, snakes, skunks, owls, hawks and oati, add they un be fed.

Hto Voyage Rer limed Aboard Asotber Vessel. A dispatch from New Orleans says at 11 o’clock Tburday evenlng.tb rough confusion of signals, the fruit stum or Esparta collided with the light house tender Magnolia, which wu conveying tbe President, Secretary Loeb and Dr. Rlxey to the oruher, West Virgiola, The rail and port bow of tbe Magnolia were damaged and two or three boles made In tbe boll below tbe water line. Nv one was hurt. Tbe magnolia Immediate ly on being struck was beached, her bow being high and dry. After a careful examination of tbe damage to the vessel, It wu evident there wu no danger end the president and hto party went to bed. Msj Oralghlll of the United Stated engineers wu aboard the Magnolia. His ship, the Ivy, a sister ship of the Magnolia, had proceeded the Magnol ia and was some distance ahead. A but wu immediately put i ff for the nearest telephone, about a mile and a half away, and the order given to head the lyy off at Pilot station and have her return for the president and bis party. The transfer was made at 3 o’clock Friday morning. The vee*> sel got under way Immediately and tbe West Virginia wu boarded on schedule time. The first news of the —ident reach ed' New Orleans by telephone urly Friday morning in en appeal for help from Cspt Rose of tbe United Fruit company’s stumer Esparta, which ume from Nairn, La M near where the accident occurred. Hto report gave no details. The Magnolia left New Or leans at 6 30 Thursday night and the Fsparta wu due to arrive Friday at Ohaimette. The wuther wu fine, with comparatively little wind on the fiver.

The practice to worthy of gen erSl adoption. It is neoessary only while the ground to snow-bound and ed with tug owners here and the pow- trful tugs R. Wllmot and B. D.

Muntime, however, the president's party bad managed to get In common ication with the lower part of the river where It wu known that tbe lighthouse tender Ivy way lying. At 1 o’clock the operator at Pilot Town was rung up by Maj. Craigbill, tbe government engineer, with orders that the Ivy should be sent to 60 mile point with all possible speed. Tbe Ivy im mediately got under way and covered the 40 miles in rapid time. President Roosevelt, Secretary Lo b and Surgeon Rlxey, with their bag rite, we e at ones transferred and tne Ivy proceed ed down tbe river. At 8.15 tbe Ivy passed Pilot Town on her way down, signalling that the presldent.and party were oh hoard and that all were well. Tte Ivy reached the West Virginia at 0 40 and the president at once went aboard. The lighthouse tender Ivy returned from sea after putting President Roosevelt on board end stopped at Pilot Town. Those aboard reported tbat the West Virginis bad sailed at 10.05. They said that president wu in excjllant spirits -unshaken by the accident. At time of the accident at 11 o’clock which Is considerably more than it it worth, though he did not say so. The price seemed satisfactory to the stranger and he told the farmer to go ahead and buy the place, pay for it, and he would take the two properties off hto hands, making payment for both at one time. It seems tbat the farmer then went to Spartanburg, where he had some hard earned savings amcunting to, with interest, over 12,000. This h( drew out, and, It Is <uld, arranged with a bank for the balance, mortgag ing his property to secure It. He then paid, so It Is alleged, his neighbor for the land, got the title and came to Union to turn it ever to the Chicago an, but he failed to find bis man. After two days he returced. The Chicagoan wu still absent. Again lut Friday be came, but hto would be representative of tbe Standard Oil Goaspany bad entirely disappeared. Now tbe farmer is anxiously looking and waiting for news of bim, and in the muntime Is the possessor of 011,- 403 worth of land that he does not) mi, currently believed tbat he got a good rake off for making the sale, and will their open season to one month. The Department of Agriculture ob- Ksnsu, which after five month’s cap tivity are almost as wild u when first caged, and show no signs of mating Experiments In the domutlutlon of Bob Whites ere well worth trying, however, because of the demand from, olube and Individuals for live birds to restock their grounds. So great hu become the demand In recent yure that It to estimated tbat 200,000 birds would be required annually to fill It. During the spring of 1903 the demand far exceeded the supply, even At 15 a dfiAu, and sometimes at twice that figure. The bulletin gives an interesting table of the blrda’ food made from tbe average of niany analyses. It shows that the ohtef part of the Bab Whites’ diet Is animal and vegetable matter of which the farmer to glad to be rid, wbJlleJbe damage that oao. be traced to him Is absolutely negligible.
