FAMOUS FORGERY CASES.
`[Continued from page 3]
The jury decided that the codicils were not genuine.
TRICKY MINISTER.... The number of anonymous letter submitted i to the expert in a year is very large. Some times these letters are written by the recipients themselves for certain purposes. An Americas expert tells anamoring story of such a caLG. The minister of a certain church one day pro- duced a letter be had, he alleged, received from another congregatiou, offering lihim a larger salary if he would transfer bie ministrations to them; To retain him the congregation raised.

containing the precious document. When the envelope was opened and the will read the pon was astounded to find that his father had willed more than half his fortune away from bim→→to his landlord and a third person. The step was extraordinary, as the old man had frequently told his son that he would inherit all that he possessed, and the young fellow immediately danounced the document as a fraud. But how- to prove it?

The fraud was out. Upon his death, bed, Whalley had dictated a letter to his son, which the landlord had written in pencil, Whalley signing it in ink. When the old man was dead the landlord had rubbed out the pencil, writing with crumbs of bread, had written the will above Whalley's signature, had opened the envelope in which the real will lay by steaming it, and, having destroyed the real document, and inserted his forgery in its place, had closed. the envelope again, and put it among the dead man's papers. The landlord and one of his accomplices went to penal servitude, another accomplice saved himself by making full con. fession and turning Queen's evidence.
THE OCCUPATION OF
SAGHALIEN,
JAPANESE PREIS COMMNETS.-
The Kolumin says Karafuto is now as good as occupied in its entirety, a statement in which most papers agree, because the part not yet brought under our arms is only a stretch of bar- ren land at its northern extremity. Dwelling on the manner in which the work of reducing the island bas progressed, and coming to the capture of Fuikoff, where the enemy was ox" pected to make his last stand and offer rong resistance, the journal says the skill and rapid- ity with which our forces executed their opera tions will be seen from the fact that the attack on the last-mentioned town was begun at early dawn of the 38th ult, and by half-past eight the same morning the place had fallen into our possession. As for the material gin to us ac cruing from the recovery of the island, the | Kokumin considers it too obvious to requira much explanation, as its shores, forests, and mines embocom almost inexhaustible riches, · The Araki says the first thought, that arises. in view of the reduction of the island is that, in contrast to the extrême ¡bortness of time required in the consummation of that work, many a wenty year will have to pass before complete pacífication is attained and a new of der of thing becomes establish there, but that Japan may prove her aptitude for governing allen races by showing how patience conquers everything,
The /// says an immediate requirement for the island is the establishment there of a pro- visionary board of administration. As the board will be destined to be the predecessor of a Governor-General's Office, because the clerks and officia's to form that board will largely continue to retain their position under the lat ter form of permanent administration, great care and judgment should be exercised, enys the journal, in the choice of persons to be ap pointed to the board with regard to their abili, ty and moral character, A similar order of transformation took place at the time of the un- nexation of Formosa, and the promiscuous manner in which the officials for the prelimi nary administration organ were selected then, or rather not selected, was productive, of great evils afterward. Warned by this lesson, the Journal kopes the Goverment will not fall inte the error of repeating a similar blunder-Ja fan Timite
