BROWNLOW'S ESTATE 1 VALUED AT $150,000 | Left in Trust to Go to His Children 5 at End of Twelve _ Years. BRISTOL, Term., August 13.-The will of the late Congressman Walter P. Brownlow of the first Tennessee district, probated in the county court at Jonesboro, Tenn., reveals that he has left his entire estate in the hands of trustees for a period of twelve years, hut the will provides that the estate shall ultimately be divided among his children, with substantial equity, his widow being generously provided for in any event. The estate, which consists of real and personal property, largely represented in the stock of the Johnson City Traction Company, in which he held a controlling interest, is believed to be worth not less :: than $150,000. Capt. Kyle M. King, a son-in-law. and Gov. John P. Smith, of the mountain branch of the National Soldiers' Home are named as the trustees and executors. It is provided that in the event either of these trustees should die or remove from the state.Chancellor Hal H. Haynes of Bristol is to act in his stead, and in the event of another vacancy it will] devolve upon the chancery court to fill l i: the vacancy by appointment. !! The board Jof managers of the Soldiers' !j Home and Gov. Smith of the home, by jjj reason of the fact that the electric road ;; owned by Mr. Brownlow enters the Sol-diers' Home reservation, have taken the view that this would prevent Gov. Smith SI from acting as a trustee of the estate, and for this reason lie lias declined to ;; serve. While the vacancy falls to <"han4 cellor Havnen under the terms nf the S will. It Is not known whether lie will XX serve, but in the event he does not he g will "have to appoint a man to til 1 the g vacancy caiy.ed by the resignation of g Gov. Smith. Gov. Smith, it i3 underH stood, declined to serve because of some fx possible conflict of interests between 5 the electric railway and the home. | INSPECTING POWER BOATS. : Fines for Owners of Improperly Equipped Pleasure Craft. The new regulations for power craft, requiring them to be equipped with fireextinguishing material, proper running ; lights, fog bells, whistles and other equipment, are being enforced here, and yesterday afternoon officials from the custom house were circulating among the ::: power boats at the races, looking .them | over. The custom house officers were aboard a speedy launch belonging to Policeman Cole of the fourth precinct and a close watch was kept upon power craft and their equipment noted. It Is stated that a few were found Improperly equipped and they will be reported to the collector of customs for imposition of fine as required by law for violation of the regulations. It Is stated that the inspection of the power boats will be continued until all that are owned here are boarded and tL Inspected and made to meet the requlre_ ments of the new regulations. a-' Three Attempts to End Life Fail. to FLEMING, Col., August 13.-ln an ef88 fort to end his life.

I < l ADD TO F THE CAPITAL Flowers Pleasing to t Summer Days? ling Early. nificent beds of canna. perhaps the most gorgeous in coloring of the flowers?certainly of those to be found in this latitude. They lift their long stems, crowned with blooms of rich, dark red, above the leaves of the plant, which furnish a basis, a^foundation, so to speak, to set off and display to the best advantage the glory and the beauty that sway and move in the breeze. The effect of the great piles and h<*aps of color not only is beautiful, but gives a tone and freshness to the city on a hot day. The canna is wonderfully more effective since the, production of the variety in which the bloom-bearing stalks rise above the mass of the leaves, instead of being mingled and almost lost in the foliage. The method now followed in the arrangement of flowering plants of combining in a solid group those of one color, is better adapted not only to show off the brilliancy and beauty of the blooms but is more striking than the old style of hrlmrlntr f1r?n?nrc ... " * iu?,riuri wiuiuui iiiutii regard to the colors. Several Beautiful Shades. There are other shades of the canna than the rich red, the yellow and the orange, for instance, but neither shows the exuberance of color of their more brilliant relation. But a bed of these flowers is handsome in any ^shadc, and their use in the parks and on the marble terraces of the (Capitol and in the great hronze basins that flank the plaza really are features of the city that are not only pleasing to the eye, but quite as impressive as the public buildings and the tree-lined streets. In the vicinity of the Capitol, with its setting of park that is quite the handsomest in the city, the beds and vases of flowers are at their best just now and are wonderful revelations of the beauty and variety of nature as a colorist. * TLY CHANGED fr CORNER OF 9TH AND G STREETS THE AVENUE GRAND VAUDEVILLE THEATER Fine New Building Opened Between 6th and 7th Streets Southeast.
