John T. Nerlna. a 7onog lawyer of Poughkcepsle. woa appointed one of the admlnlatratora of the eatate. Mr. Nevlni la soon to marry Mlaa Virginia Rogera. Captain Itogera left $35,000 outright to bit danghter Juliana; Virginia waa also left $3!i,000, but It was plorcd In trust for her, Juliana being the trustee. The captain was actuated Id this by his personal dislike of a suitor to whom he believed bis daughter Virginia would be married. The chief ground upou which the will tras broken was l>e- taose Virginia did not marry the ot>- jcotlonable aultor, but In fact was about to marry another. Misa Juliana Bogera will be married to William LAwrence Lloyd, of New York City, on the same day that her sister is to be married.

UDOE BAKER, tbe newly ap- polned Judge of tbe United States Oiurt of a Western ju¬ dicial district, was on his way to Chicago to attend a banquet given In bis honor by tbe Legal Light Club, and his whole appearance radiated satisfaction with himself and all the world. He had attained the height of his political ambition, was recent¬ ly married to tbe woman of bis choice, and enjoyed life in the l>eautlful home he had planned and built. His health and temper were uniformly good, and what more of fortune's favors could be reasonably expect? The Judge was both contented and grateful.
Yet that very morulug he bad re¬ ceived an anonymous letter threaten¬ ing bis life. He knew It was from tbe "pal" of a criminal be bad senwto tbe penitentiary, and It did not cause him a moment of anxiety, but be bad left bis wife In tears. She had bought bira a silver-mounted revolver, and begged him to go armed. And he had laughed at her fears and refused to carry tbe weapon.
"You would make me a lawbreaker. Myrtle," be had snld, by causing nie to carry concealed weapons. I am used to threats and am not afraid of them. Those fellows know that they are guilty ond deserve all that they get, and they know, too, that I am too old a bird to l>c caught napping, and not one of them dares to look me In the eye. Tbey can only bluster and threaten at a safe distance by mall. Besides, if I nm to He marked for sacrifice I will foil in tbe 4rack of duty."
So Judge Baker carried with bim on his trip neither weapons nor worries. He threw off evory care and was as genial at heart as be was In api>ear- ance. As be was speeding aloug on the Omaha express he gave himself up to tbe prospect of freedom and of enjoyment of the next few days. So absorbed was he in his own pleasing thoughts that tbe man who was shar¬ ing bis seat between sections bad asked bIm for tbe correct time twice before he knew that be wns addressed. Then tbe Judge pulled out the massive gold watch, which was n present from ad¬ miring political friends nnd bad the miniature of n beautiful woman—his
the cadet; "I don't c.lnd loclng tha money, but give back my mother's watch; you card sharp, you thiefP'
"Where Is the conductor? Will oo one save that poor boy'a watch?" de¬ manded the man sitting with the Judge, who had no wish to get Into any Inju¬ dicial scrimmage, and was annoyed to find himself In a too familiar criminal element out of business hours.
Another cry from tbe boy determined the Judge's fellow passenger to take part In the affair. The express was slowing up for a station, and the man who bad the cadet's watch in his band, the chain dangling from his fingers, made a rush for the door, pursued i>; tbe cadet bawling "Stop thief!" am] close In pursuit, flourishing a revolver, followed the Interested passenger whu had drawn the Judge's attention tc tbe outrage.
"Stop, thief: Stop, thief!" be shouted, as be ran; "stop, or I'll fill you with lead! You sball not rob that boy of bit mother's watch. Give It back to bIm or I'll fire."
Through tbe pandemonium which fol¬ lowed the Judge never moved from bit seat. Indeed, the whole transaction was over In n dash light, and tbe pas¬ sengers who hod ducked their beads had not lifted them when the train wo; moving away from the station. No re¬ port of a revolver had sounded, and the Indlgnont passenger had not re¬ turned when the conductor walked through tbe car. He was besieged by questions.
"Did  the  boy  get  bis watch?"
"Is there any danger of being mur¬ dered?"
"Why do you allow such a thing to happen?"
"Did the man with the revolver shoot?"
This last question the conductor an¬ swered. "No, he didn't shoot. lie didn't intend to shoot. It wns all a game of bluff."
"What do you mean?" asked the Judge,  sitting  upright and  beginning

"That's Just what, Judge Baker," answered the conductor, who was a fel¬ low townsman of tbe Judge. "I would have given you the wink, but I was sure that you knew the fellow wiio was sitting with yon. Why, Judge, you gave bIm ten years for robbery and he Htole a wotca from your own pocket, llemembor that? He'd be doing time yot, but be Kot free through some political hocus-pocus. He knew you all right. And the cadet was a stool- pigeon."
"Why didn't you put them off the train';" asked the Judge, severely.
"Couldn't until we stopped at a sta¬ tion. I was hunting for a policeman ill the depot when they boltetl. Ciuoss they didn't get any :<wag that time- but wasn't the trick carried out clev¬ erly? Tl-! nerve of that rascal to sit down 'longsldc of you!"
Judge Baker laughed. Then he me¬ chanically put his hand into bis pocket. His presentation wntcb was gone. So was the big roll of bills that was in tended for bis Chicago expense money. Kor once tbe Judge had been caught napping.—Mrs. M. L. Rayne, In the ('hicago Record-Herald.

I'eopic grow old by thinking them¬ selves old. When they reach the age of forty, fifty or sixty, they Imagine that they look like others of tbe same age, and that they soon will be use¬ less, unfit for work and unable to perform their wonted duties. As sure¬ ly as they think It will como true, foi thought Is creative. How many of us can say with Job, "The thing which 1 greatly feared Is come uiKin me."
The time will come when children will not We allowed to celebrate their lilrtbdays: when tbey will know that, liy thinking themselves young, tbey will remain young, and that they will cease to grow old when they cease tc believe in old age.

Atlantic City. N. J.—Twelve hotels and more tlian a score of small build¬ ings adjoining the iioard walk which Is built along tbe ocean edge, wore de¬ stroyed by a fire which swept the beach front for two long blocks from Illinois avenue to New York avenue. The local board of Insurance under¬ writers, after a meeting, announced (hat the total loss would not exceed $730,000, and the loss to the Insur¬ ance componles would be about $17.V 000. The loss to the municipality In damage to the Iward walk, etc.. Is es¬ timated by the underwriters a.s be¬ tween $7500 and »10,000.
Charles Kraling. proprietor of the Academy of Music and a drug store in the building, said he was the heav¬ iest Individual loser by the flie. He placed his loss at upward of $12.^.000, and said he carried only $10.0(10 Insur¬ ance. He wos not prepared to say whether he would rebuild. Most of the Are victims expressed a desire to rebuild as quickly as possible.
In respect to the money loss the fire Is the worst that has ever visited At¬ lantic City. Fortunotely, no lives were sacrificed, though probalily n dozen persons w'erc slightly Injured and burned. It was reported early Iti the afternoon that six men bad perished In the flames, but the rumor was with out foundation.
The origin of the fire Is unknown, but It is thought that It started in either Brady's baths or tbe Hotel Tarlton, which adjoins the baths at Illinois avenue and the board walk. The city t?os placed under the guard of a company of militia, which was asked for by the municipal authori¬ ties to help the police In preventing roliberlea. About a dozen men were arrested for robbery.
The hotels destroyed and their esti¬ mated losses are: The I.uray nnd an¬ nex, the latter formerly known iis tbe Norwood, owned by J. S. While & Son, $ll',-),000; the New Holland. Mrs. M. J, I.ee. $,10,000; Stratford, Arnold AV. Wnblnor. $40,000; Berkeley, Bew Brothers, $.')0,000; Bryn Mawr, J. and E. KelTer, $25,000; Stlcknev, Jlrs. L. V. Stlckncy, $20,000; Evard, James T. Cormau. $20,000; Rio Grande. J. P. KlllJUtrlck, $30,000; Mervlue, K. Eels, $20,000; .\cademy Hotel and Academy of Music, Charles Frallnger. $25.<XX); Windsor, O. Jason Waters (partly de¬ stroyed), $2.1,000; Tarlton, G. Jason Woters, $20,000.
The fire was discovered shortly af¬ ter 9 o'clock a. m., ond for nearly Ave ho^rs the flames raged with such vio¬ lence as to threaten tbe city with de¬ struction. All the burned buildings were frame structures, and the flames, fnnnotl by a strong southwest wind, »wept along the beach front with amazing rapidity.
The local Eire Department worked well and willingly, but was unable lo cope with the flames, and It wns found necessary to send to rhiladclphia nnd Camden for aid. The former city sent tiiree enginos, and two came from Camden. Thoy were of vast assist nnce to the local firemen, but It was not until nn hour after their arrival that the fire could be said to be thor¬ oughly under control.
Iiuring the Arc the wildest excite¬ ment prevailed among tbe guests of the hotels, which later became the prey of llio flames. With the excep¬ tion of tlic Tarlton and the Bryn Mawr nil the hotels were open for the sen- soii. aud most of tbein wore fairly well filled. In most cases the guests lind sutflcient time to pack their trunks and grips. Those -who did not do tills carried their personal clfeets to jilaees of safety In the best manner possible under the circumstances.
Tbe beach appeared lo be the most suitable depository, nnd many nonde script heaps of clothing, bedding and furniture were to bo seen on the saud This rendered extra vigilance neces sary on the part of the police. The uiembors of the volunteer Arc depart luont acted ns special pollceiiien, and Company L. National (Suard of Now .lorsoy. wns called Into requisition to pi-oservo order. The Morris Cuards. a local organization, wore also sworn in as spoilal pcdicomen.
Ail of tlio gtU'sfs of hurnod iiolels who were forced to seek other ipinrterf have lieen cared for. Those who wore staying at the I.uray worckseut to llio New Hotel Marlborough, which Is nn der the same management. Otheri roglstoi-ed nt various hotels and board ing lioiises.

Wasiiington, I>. C—It Is not at all probable that the rnited States (Jov- ornmcnt will Interfere with the ship¬ ment of Ainerlcnu inulcs and various war supplies from this country to the Uritlsh Army In South .\frlcn.
Attoruey-tieneral Knox has rendered an opinion to Secretary Hay regarding the allegations made by the (lovcriior of Louisiana tliat England wns nmlu- talnliig a military post at Tort Chal- mctte, a few miles south of New (|r- leaus. .^ci-ording to the Ciovernor's complaint. Port Chalmetto bad been rapidly converted from a peaceful freight depot for a Southern railroad lo a camp whidi existed purely as a shipping point for forwarding to King Edward's army munitions of war, to lie usetl against the lloers.
The Attorney-ticnoral says bo docs not thiuk this '.ioverumout ought to take any action without "inatuic con¬ sideration l>y the rrosidont and his ad¬ visors." Tlie decision goes ou further to declare tliat the sale by a neutrnl nation of articles contraband of war to a befUgeront nation Is upheld by Internatlouul authority.
"In the case before us," lu" concludes, "there Is no statement of facts by you upon which o give an ofllclal opinion as to the law, nnd I do not understand that one has been reiiuestcd.
"A number of allegations and some testimony have been sent me, aud thoy are suttlclont to challenge attention. But the first thing to be done Is to aB- certaln whether the allegations arc true.
"I have cudoavorcd. os well as I could In advance, to indicate the law to be applied to tbem, and shall only add that among the poiuls by -nhich to be guided are the rystemntic clinr- ucter of the transuc.lons, their greater or lo^s cxtenslveuess, their jH-rsIstence In time, or the reverse, their govern¬ mental character, or tbe absence of It, tboir olijccts and results, and princi¬ pally, of course, their rolatlou. If any, with the iirosecution of the mllltniy opeiallous in South .\frica."
