SOME FRIGHTENED BY MAR- 'CONI'S SUCCESSES. The King's Health is Said to be Excellent--London is Unusual- ly. Gay-Santos-Dumont To Continue His Experiments in England. London, March 3.--A despatch to the Central News, from Grand Bas- sam, says surveys . which have just been completed by prospectors, of the Ivory Coast gold fields' company, show that there is blanket ore on an almost unbroken line for eleven miles, assaying one ounce and upwards. This .is regarded as oie of the most extraordinary discoveries ever made. The stagnant stock markets are due a, a temporary lapse of 4 0 - ey. The latter is attributed to rumors respecting Cecil Rhodes health, but the more reasonable ex- planation is that the resumption of activity in Kaffirs was premature apd overdone. The slump in telegraph stocks made further progress vester- day, holders evidently being thorough- ly frightened by Marconi's continued SUCCERH, The king's health is reported to be excellent. He dines out constantly ana gots to the theatres. The tremendous pressure of public business connected with coronation and court functions has not affected his health or spirits. London is unusually gay for March, dinner parties, followed by bridge, be ing the feature. A spurious sort of in- fluenza, not really dangerous, causes many breaks in dinner 'engagements. M. Santos-Dumont, who is in Lon- don, saya that he will make no more experiments in France, but confine himself in future to England and the United States. THE RAILWAY BILL.

Jackson, Me., March 5.-The town of Jackson is said to raise more pretiy girls than any uther place of its size in Maine. A good number of them have gone to New York and Chicago apd, married millionnires, and such as hate stayed at home are now ac tively engaged in solving the problem #8 to how a single Woman can sup: port hersell and make woney oh a rocky hillside farm. The system of culture as pursued in Jackson eoisists of dividing their farm oto three equal parts, ove for the ben yard, One for cotn dnd one for clover, shifti the crop from one area to the other every vear. The woman who has a nihe-acre farm pits her hen yard of last year into corn this season, and shifts her hen yard to last year's clover patch. She relies upon the hen dressing left in the old yard to furnisk fer tilizer for her corn, and when the corn crop is so high as to receive ita last visit from the horse-cultivator the land is sowed to turnip sped and red clover = betwéen the rows, which come up and grow in the shade. As soon as the frost comes and the corn in removed to be husked the turnips occupy thy land, giving a nice shade to the young clover plants and producing turnips enough ta beep the poultry in green food until spring.

Ottawa, March 5,-in the suprenie court to-day the chse of Renaud N. Lamothe was hedrd. . The dispute in- volves the construction of a codicil to the will of the late Hon. Louis . naud, which provided that any of hix children who should marry outside the Roman Catholic church, or grand children born of such marriages or not brought up in the Roman Catho lie faith, should be emcluded from tak ing any benefit out of his estate. The appellant claims an accomunt and his share as a guardian of the testator. His father married in Hlinois, in civil form, before a magistrate in 1876, af ter the date of the codicil, and the executors contend that the appellant is excluded on account of the civil marriage and that he is not a mem- ber of the Roman Catholic church nor baptized in it. The appellant claimed that the condition mposed by the codicil was illegal and con trary to public policy, and that un der article 760, of the civil code, it should not be considered ak written and that he was entitled to his share as if it had never been inserted in the will. He suacended in the trial court where justice Tascherfeau held the con. dition void and ordered athe executors to acount, The appeal is from 'the judgment of the court of king's bench reversing this decision and hollins that the clause excluded all heirs who were not of the Roman Catholic ie ligion.
