The Best of All
In All Things at All Times.
There are many GOOD life insurance companies, but among
them all there must be one BEST. THE BEST is THE EQUIT
ABLE. If you wish to know wThy, send for: i, the report of the
Superintendent of Insurance for the State of New York on the ex
amination of The Equitable; 2, for actual results of maturing poli
cies; 3, for statement of death claims paid in 1894. Then you will
know the three great reasons of The Equitable’s supremacy: 1st,
its financial stability; 2d, its great profits and advantages to living
policy-holders; 3d, the promptness of its payments and liberality
of its settlements.

SOME VERY CURIOUS WILLS
A Widow Who Wanted Dancing at Her Grave.
The Great Love of a French Baron
For His Dog.
^Cincinnati Enquirer.
I ! The recent death of an eccentric Phila
delphian. who set forth in his will that
Ihe believed in Almighty God, but denied
the existence of a hereafter, recalls some
curious clauses in wills.
j Prof. Ignaz Hoppe, who died a. million
aire at Basel, Germany, in 1891, left a
fund for the founding of a psychologists'
home or institute, where learned men
might devote themselves to the study of
the human soul. Professor Hoppe was
born in Eichstleld in 1811, and became a
doctor of medicine at Berlin in his 21st
year. He made a special study of the
connection bet wen psychology a nd phys
iology, and became a doctor of philosophy
at Freiburg. In 1852 he took a chair at
Basel ami remained there until his death.
He lived a close life and his eccentrici
ties and peculiar dress made him an ob
ject of curiosity to all tourists.
Under the provisions of bis will the
learned men who gather at his institute
must think perslstenly on the problems
of psychology and must publish all the
discoveries they make. They must also
live frugally and live religiously, al
though the will does not prescribe any
one church or belief. The writings must
be purged of all philosophical catch
words, such as “subjective," "objective,”
"rational,” transcendental," etc.
The widow of a Vienna merchant
willed that Strauss’ orchestra should
play the "Danube Waltz” at her grave,
and each member receive $10 for his ser
vices. The cemetery authorities object
ed, and the matter was compromised by
the orchestra playing the waltz over her
coffin at the close of the funeral services
at the house. The'Idea of the waltz
music at her grave was probably sug
gested to the Vienna woman by the
clause In the last will and testament of
the famous Dutch painter, Egbert Van
Hemskark, which read: "I bequeath
my whole estate to a fund, from which
every year a bride shall receive her
trousseau, but under the unalterable
condition that she, on the day of her
wedding, together with her husband and
the wedding guests, shall dance on my
grave.”
Auguste Genln, a French millionaire
gloss manufacturer, disinherited all his
relatives and left his treasures of art to
cities and his two palaces to the poor.
To each of the eighty-six French de
partments he left an annual Income of
$200. and for the lost provinces. Alsace
and Lorraine, he stipulated that a cer
tain sum, to be known as their share,
should be expended every year until the
provinces should become French again,
when the sum in question should be paid
to them.
The will of Baron de Jouarre. who died
In Paris recently, provided for a fund of
$30,000 for the care of his Danish hound,
Tiger. He directed that a house he
bought for the dog in a suburb of Paris
and that there Tiger should be allowed
to choose his own table companions, who
iniust be lodged under the same roof with
him. A housekeeper and watchman re
ceive $500 anually for caring for the villa
Tiger and feeding and cleaning the in
mates. To secure the best care of his
canine favorite the baron provided that
the attendants’ income should cease upon
the. death of Tiger, the hotel closed, $200
expended for a monument over the dog's
grave and the balance of the fund to go
to the Paris Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals.
Two curious examples of peculiar wills
on the continents are taken from the bi
ographies of Baron Ulrich Thau. Ger
man ambassador In Paris, and Lulgo
C’oltusl, professor of law In Padua uni
veraity centuries ago. The first, having
Invested all his money in annuities, di
rected that, his body, after death, be cut
into small pieces, salted down In a tub
and sent to Pomerania for burial. This
was done. Professor Coltusi, in accord
ance with his will, was carried to his
grave by twelve fancifully dressed giris,
preceded by a band playing dance music.
One of the most peculiar of German
wills was left by Privy Court Councillor
Ludekus, in Dresden, whose lawyer found
in the box with his testament 150 en
graved mourning cards, bearing tills an
nouncement:
“I have the honor to hereby announce
to all my friends and acquaintances my
death on the date of the postal mark
“JOHN LUDEKUS."
These cards were sent out as directed.
This is paralleled by the will of a Ger
man who died in New York three or four
years ago, who directed that his body he
cremated and his ashes scattered to the
four winds from the top of the statue of
liberty on Bedloes island. His friends
performed this office as directed.
t>r. James Boyle, who died at Kings
ville, Ontario, in the latter part of 1391,
left his funeral sermon, which he direct
ed to be read over his coffin. Dr. Boyle
was a very eccentric character, clinging
to the old-fashioned knickerbockers and
cocked hat up to his death, which occur
red at the age of 87. The sermon begins
thus:
“You have come together as neighbors
and friends to give my body a decent and
respectable burial, which you owe to the
friends of the departed. That body which
lies in the narrow tenement is not mine
any longer and is no part of me. I have
/risen out of it in full human form, in the
full stature and dimensions of a man,
with all the organs, internal and exter
nal. that belong to humanity. 1 am not
a shadow or specter. I am not air or
ether or mere breath. T have all the
Senses 1 ever had. It was the soul alone
that saw and heard, and tasted and
smelt and felt, and tvhen I left the body
I took them with me as fundamental
parts of my Immortal existence. The
body was only a thin coverlng-a skin of
film over the soul to enable it to act upon
or communicate with the natural world,
and when It had served Its purpose was
cast off by the soul, which needed It and
could use It no longer. I will never re
turn to It and It will never come back
_to me."
The sermon then at great length goes
on to explain the peculiar religious belief
of the writer, and was followed by two
appendices, the (irst entitled "The Au
thenticity of the Gospels, or the Life and
Character of Jesus Christ." In the sec
ond Dr. Boyle divides mankind into three
classes—"the Human, the Animal and the
Diabolical, or Devils.” In the first class
he places persons regenerated by the
Holy Spirit," in the second “those still In
the state of nature," and in the third,
"animals in human form, but destitute
of human qualities ”
Dr. John Douglass, lawyer and Presby
terian minister, who died In Pittsburg,
Pa... in 1892, left a remarkable wilt, in
which he says:
"I owe no man anything, and have no
debts. I direct and possltlvely order that
the expenses of my funeral shall not ex
ceed $75, and that my coffin shall be made
of plain "hoards, without adornment or
decoration of any kind. As I believe In
the Lord Jesus Christ, the blessed Son of
God, for salvation, and that men are
saved while alive, it will not be necessary
to hold religious services over my body .”
He also directed that no monument
was to be erected over his grave or else
where, and bequeathed his lot In the Al
legheny cemtery to his son. coupl-d with
the provision that “no stone shall tell to
whom it belongs or who is burled there,
and the stones now there must be al
lowed to crumble Into dust and never re
placed.”
A very odd will was that left by an
Englishman named Thclusson, who de
vised an estate of $600,000 to accumu
late during the lives of his sona and
grandsons, the accumulated property,
which he calculated would amount to
£10,000,000 by the time it fell due, to go to
his "oldest great grandsons. There was
a vast amount of litigation over the will,
and the oldest great grandsons received
about the original $000,000.
David Davis, a facetious resident of
Clapham. left a lady 5 shillings, ‘‘suffi
cient for her to get drunk for the last
time at my expense.”
John Aylett Stow revoked a bequest of
$15,000 and substituted the direction to
purchase, for a terrible reminder to the
ex-legatee, ‘‘a picture of the viper biting
the benevolent hand of the person who
saved him from perishing in the snow,”
while a Mr. Church left his son Daniel
‘‘one shilling, and that is for him to nire
a porter to carry away the next badge
and frame he steals.”
papeITand paper making.
Asia has nineteen paper mills.
Wasps wpre the first paper makers.
The first paper mill In Germany was
set- up In 1317.
Wall pap-r has been in use in China for
over 700 years.
For 300 years the Chinese have made
water-proof paper.
Hand-made paper was always sized
with a solution of common glue.
There are over 4500 paper mills in the
civilized countries of the world.
The Chinese and Japanese make many
articles of furniture out of paper.
The manufacture of linen paper In
France is said to have begun about 1314.
Some wrapping papers are made as
strong as cloth of a proportionate thick
ness.
Until the present century all paper, of
whatever description, was made by
hand.
The paper product of the world in 1S90
was estimated to exceed 1,000,000 tons.
Paper hangings, for use on walls, were
Introduced Into Europe from the east in
1675.
The weight of paper Is sometimes mate
rially Increased by the addition of clay
and kaolin.
Water marks were originally used on
bank notes as a means of preventing
counterfeits.
Papier-mache shoes for horses have
been recently introduced, with, it is said,
gratifying results.
The cost value of the paper annually
made in all the countries of the world
exceeds $150,000,000.
The papal bulls of the eighth and ninth
centuries were written on cotton paper
of a fair quality.
The Parrot Gave Orders.
New Haven Register.
For some time past workmen have been
engaged making excavations for a sewer.
In order to accomplish the work it has
been necessary to blast the rock, and
small blasts have been fired.
Recently the workmen were engaged
In blasting near the residence or Mrs.
Trowbridge. The latter owns a parrot of
wonderful articulative powers. The bird
had been placed in its cage outside the
second story window. It Is customary
before firing a blast for the operator to
yell “fire” a number of times to warn
not only the workmen, but persons who
may have occasion to pass. Monday
morning this plan was followed and no
sooner had the cry resounded In the air
than all at once a strong, piercing com
mand was heard: "Get under the trees!”
The workmen, believing that the order
had come from Inspector Worthington,
who was at hand, Jumped for cover in
an Instant. The Inspector, nonplussed
at the cry, looked In the direction whence
the sound came and discovered the par
rot making frantic efforts to reach the
end of his perch. The lnspeotor watched
the bird as the blast was fired. No sooner
had the report been heard than the bird
stretched Its wings, and then in good
Anglo-Saxon came the cry, “All over,"
and the workmen left their retreats and
again began operation!.
HOW HAYES WAS SEATED.
George Alfred Townsend Tells a Strange
Story That Was Told to Him by a
Southern Man,
Gatti’s Washington special to the Cin
cinnati Enquirer says:
Mr. Tilden’s life by John Bigelow, his
executor, revives the grievance of the
southern democrats going over to his
opponent, Hayes. I met on the streets
yesterday Mr. Roberts, the Louisiana
gentleman who went to see Mr. Hayes a.t
Columbus prior to his inauguration, and
arranged there for a southern democrat
to be in his cabinet. So far as I am
aware Mr. Roberts has never told what
took place at Columbus. He gave me,
in a private conversation at a chance
meeting on the streets during the after
noon promenade, some interesting par
ticulars of that, at the time, highly myP
terious and much agitated interview. It
will be read with interest, particularly
in Ohio, and it comes apropos of John
Sherman’s book, showing that General
STierman, as well as John Sherman, had
to do with peaceably seating Hayes. .
Said Roberts, who is now on the Post
newspaper of this city: "My visit to
President Hayes grew out of accidental
circumstances. He came on a congres
sional committee—the Kukiux commit
tee, I think It was—to Feliciana parish,
where I was, and I got to know pretty
well. After that he ran his career as re
peatedly governor of Ohio, and finally the
president in disputation. One day at the
New Orleans Times office we had a col
lection of visiting statesmen, who want
ed to see Tiiden seated, but, above all,
to secure white government for our
states, of which the chief were South
Carolina and Louisiana, which Grant
had firmly gripped to the mongrel party.
Recovery of our state government was
the question of questions involving our
self-preservation. I think Gordon, Hamp
ton and Butler were among the men
there. But Lamar was the most individ
ual one. We were discussing the future
relation of the federal state of Louisiana
and Hayes' intentions toward liberating
us from negro rule. I related what I
knew of Hayes, what I had seen of him
and what I thought- from that remote
knowledge of him he might do. Henry
Watterson was there, a relative of Stan
ley Matthews, who was pretty near
Hayes. Said Watterson to me: 'Roberts,
why don't you go to Columbus, as you
are about going north, and see Governor
Hayes?’ Lamar was walking up and
down, seeing nobody, deeply interested
in the settlement of our states—those,
which then had electoral votes in dis
pute—and every one of them needed by
Hayes to achieve his presidential ambi
tion. Everybody was aware that Tiiden,
in New York, would not take the firm and
dangerous steps to seat hlmselr; of that
we had been informed by those near him
there.”
"What steps were these?”
“To call out the nation guard of New
York state, every regiment of which Tii
den had been made the colonel of. To
take 17.000,000 of money John Kelly, as
comptroller of New York city, possessed,
in order to have a war exchequer; to arm
two regiments in Louisiana.”
Thir advice to gentle Sammy Tiiden?
I thought, as I heard the Napoleonic
narration, of Mr. Roberts. No wonder
his heart failed.
Mr. Roberts proceeded: "All at once La
mar faced me from his abstraction and
he said: ’Roberts, why don’t you go there
and see Hayes?1 Mr. Watterson offered
me a letter to Murat Halstead, who was
Mr. Hayes' factor in my own pursuit. I
went to Cincinnati, thence to Columbus,
and renewed my acquaintance of several
yeprs before with Congressman Hayes.
, "Now,” continued Mr. Roberts, "I had
0 of. the least idea when I entered that
•
house that I would have the audacity to
demand an appointment for a southern
democrat In Mr. Hayes’ cabinet. But I
did it. We sat down In General Comly's
little den near Hayes’ residence. I laid
before Mr. Hayes the successive demands
of file gentlemen I had consulted with as
to our state’s attorney, etc. Hayes ac
ceded to every proposition. It was plain
to be seen that he was very willing. To
attain the presidency, I think, was his
paramount passion. Not a large or lead
ing man, he cared comparatively little
for party consistency or affiliations If
the supreme opportunity of his unevent
ful life could be gratified. At last I
ventured on and said, ‘Governor Hayes,
we must have a man, ,one of us, in your
cabinet.’ He seemed astonished and said
that could not be. ’It must be,’ said I;
'to u!» the carrying out of this plan Is
everything. We require to know what Is
going on. We will, in any event, recover
our states. That conceded, good faith
requires that we should know what Is
meditated In the cabinet affecting us.’
To my almost wonder, he said, 'Very
well.’ He conceded that point also. I
left Columbus with our state at least re
stored to our race and a democrat to be
in the cabinet.’’
"How did you pick him out?”
“There the difficulty began. Nobody
wanted to ride in the procession. Gen
eral Sherman wanted Joe Johnston to be
the cabinet selection. Johnston was a
member of congress. He said with his
old caution, ’I won’t have It. There will
be a row and I will be drawn Into new
quarrels. 1 won’t.’ So we had to look
elsewhere. Stanley Matthews wanted
Ex-Governor Brown of Tennessee.
Brown said, 'No, I am getting $12,000 a
year from Jay Gould as his railroad at
torney. I like my duties. I have my own
way. To go into the cabinet at half my
salary and to be assailed by our fas
tidious friends, and the republicans, too,
will not please me.’ So It looked as If
nobody wanted to be the south’s best
man. Then Key was suggested. He had
been one of Andy Johnston’s men and
as colonel of a Confederate regiment nev
er learned how to drill it. He had suc
ceeded Johnson In the United States
after Johnson died, and acted out what
he supposed Johnson would have done.
He was willing. Dibrill, the member of
congress from Key’s district, vouched
for Key. He entered Hayes' cabinet and
went down and opposed Dibrill’s re-elec
tion, got a United States Judgship and
finished his course good Vicar of Bray.”
"Hon. Edward McPherson says Hayes
was not the supporter oC John Sherman
for president?”
“That wouldn’t surprise me. Hayes
was not for anybody but his comforta
ble self. He had not devotion or orig
inal force of character. He loved an
easy time. To be president or to have
been president contented him.” \
“Will Louisiana now become rept
can?"
“No. The race question is there more
complicated than elsewhere. We have
a large class of Intelligent, rich,
mercantile-minded yellow men. They
would be sure to get power In any repub
lican party. That certainly will operate
against the whig tendencies In BouIbI
ana."__
A Butcher’s Experience.
Mr. J. W. Herring, a butcher of Phe
nix City, Ala., says, May 14, 1895: "For
five years I had Indigestion, which con
tinued to get worse till my suffering was
Intense. I spent hundreds of dollars try
ing to get relief, but grew worse until the
fall of 1893, when I commenced to use
King's Royal Germetuer. I took only
three bottles, but began to improve from
the first use of It. I bought It of Dr. D.
E. Morgan, and he can tell about my
case. I cheerfully recommend Germetuer
as the best medicine for Indigestion and
dyspepsia.” New package, large bottle,
