What Koacluako Wanted*
Count Kosciusko, while In command
of the revolutionary forces in the
vicinity of Great Egg Harbor, Burling
ton county, N. J.. happened one day
Into a pasture where a young lieu
tenant was drilling the “awkward
■quad.” At sight of the straggling,
slouching rußticti. the count sputtered
with disgust and swore some fearful
oaths in hiK native tongue
Calling upon the men to l/alt, he
seized a inusket, and, brushing the
lieutenant aside, went through the
exercise himself. Then he bade them
Imitate him. but the squad, now thor
oughly frightened, had become more
awkward and sheepish looking than
before.
The old general was bristling with
rage. Drawing himself up to his full
beight Jio stamped his foot and
shouted:
“You mus’ look like soldiers! Look
fierce —look like de debbll—look like
me!’*

STEBINS ESTATE
WILL BUILD ORPHANS’ HOME
AGREEMENT REACHED BY HEIRS
IN DENVER.
Probate of Will Leaves $300,000 for
Proposed Charity Beneficiaries
Must Be at Least Eight Year* of
Age and Born in Colorado.
Denver.—As a result of the compro
mise entered into yesterday by the con
testants of the will of the late Charles
H. Stebbins and the executors of the
estate, it is likely that the orphan asy
lum to be established in Denver for
which Mr. Stebbins left the bulk of his
fortune will be a reality.
The faring was in the County Court
before Judge Lindsey. The agre ement
reached between the parties in inter
est, awarded $16,100 to Charles H.
Stebbins, vhe son, and $37,650 to Grace
Stebbins, one of the daughters. The
other daughter, Dora Stebbins Thomp
son, is not concerned in the settlement
made yesterday. Claims were pre
sented by the son for $60,000, his in
terest in the estate of his mother, and
by the daughter, Grace, $49,000, her in
terest in the same estate. The parties
after much deliberation decided to cut
down the demands as indicated, and
Judge Lindsey allowed the claims.
According to the claims presented
and allowed. Charles M. St< bbins,
after the death of Ills wife, ami the
mother of the contestants, desired to
secure control of certain lands of the
estate of the mother, in Greenlmrg,
county of Westchester, New York.
These lands consisted of a valuable
farm of 136 acres known as the "Mead
Farm.” The mother had left the es
tate to her three children. Mr. Steb
bins secured control of the property
from his children, with the agreement
that the children were to receive $15,-
000 each, the amounts to be paid to
them in installments.
These amounts were not paid, and
Mr. Stebbins was not able to secure a
partition of the estate as he had de
sired. The title to the land was still
in the children, and Mr. Stebbins made
a contract with his children that if
suit was not brought for the property
or the share belonging to any child,
that child would get Ills portion of the
property back. One of the children,
Dora Stebbins Thompson, did bring
such a suit and was given a judgment
for $24,006.60 in New York. The other
two children did not bring suit, and if
was on their rights arising out of the
property of their mother that their
claims were based, which were al
lowed by the County Court yesterday.
The will of the late Charles Steb
bins was admitted to probate by .Judge
Lindsey, and there will be left, after
the payment of all debts oLilie es
tate. something over s3oo,oo.Tfc>f the
purpose of founding the orphans’ home
as provided for in the will of the de
ceased.
Mr. Stebbins left an estate valued
at nearly $500,000. He died in Berlin
in June, 1904. In his will he left
nearly all of his property for the found
ing of the home. The children who are
to receive the benefits of the vast for
tune are to be at least eight years of
age and are to have been born in Col
orado. The beneficiaries of the will
are to be well treated under the terms
of the will.
But little was left the Stebbins chil
dren under the terms of the will, which
was contested on the grounds of un
sound mind ami undue influence.
Mr. Stebbins was always considered
somewhat eccentric and among his es
centricities was the writing of a book,
entitled "The New Religion.” This
book was to be printed from a fund of
$15,000 set aside for that purpose and
sent to every postmaster in'the United
States with the instruction that it was
to be put into the hands of a bright
young man known by tin* postmaster.
The book had many curiom ideas on
the way for one to live in ibis life in
order to attain the best of he here
after.
For many years Mr. Stebbins lived
abroad and would have nothing to do
with his children, for whom lie did not
appear to have any affection.
The trial of the contest of the will
last March in the Probate Court
brought forth many peculiar traits of
the deceased, and the testimony was
of an unusual character. The jury In
the ense disagreed.
CANON CITY PROJECT.
Plan for Electric Line to Cripple Creek
District.
Denver. —A Canon City dispatch
says: A special meeting of the Canon
City Merchants’ Association was held
last night to hear the report of a com
mittee appointed by that body last
month to collect data in relation to the
cost of an electric line from this city
to the Cripple Creek district. The re
port was predicated upon the result of
the survey by City Engineer Charles
Mltton and was unanimously adopted.
In view or the concurrence of the as
sociation in the matter, steps were
taken this morning to organize a com
pany for the construction of the pro
posed line to Victor, twenty-eight
miles, which it is estimated can be
built for $250,000. It is computed by
competent engineers that a trolley car
will me twenty-eight miles as
quickly us it would make twenty-four
miles on a line having a six-mile
stretch of six per cent, maximum
grade.
From a scenic standpoint the road
would be one of the most, magnificent
in the West. At one point on the route
proposed for J2O miles to the north
west one can see the Mosquito range
and for 140 miles to the Houth, the
Sangre de Cristo range is in plain
view. It is estimated that tourist
travel alone would pay $25,000 a year.
An old grade covering part of the dis
tance could be purchased at a nominal
cost. It Is believed the company
would derive a paying revenue by car
rying passengers at 50 cents each, one
way.
