Claims Also That She Was Unduly Influenced by H. D. Skellinger. A petition for the revocation of the or- der admitting the will of the late Caro- ine S. Cogswell, widow of the late Dr, Henry D. Cogswell, the capitalist and philanthropist, w filed yesterday by | Alexander O. Richards, a nephew of Mrs, Cogswell. Richards bases his contest on the ground that at the time the will was made his aunt was mentally and physical. iy weak and under the influence of Harry | 0. Skellinger, a nephew of Dr. Cogswell and ene of the four residuary legatees of | M Cogswell's estate. The filing of the petition | is the flr!tl half a million dollars, a battle that be- | cause of the great number of beneficiaries | under the contested will should prove an | interesting one. | In his petition Richards alleges that in | February, 1902, when the will was made, his aunt, Mrs. Cogswell, was mentally in- | competent; that for thirty years prior to that time she had been a firm bellever in spiritualism, occultism and theosophy, and that because of her dealings with medi- | ums and slate writers she had become a mental wreck. He alleges that for four years after the death of her husband she firmly believed that she was in communi- cation with his spirit, and that though un- able to leave her rooms during that time she received and sent messages through the aid of messengers. During this time, | Richards alfo alleges, she was held in restraint by Harry D. Skellinger at her 1ooms ?n the Marechal Nell at 404 Ellis wtreet. Skellinger, is alleged, prompted the making of the will, in which, in addi- tion to his one-quarter interest in the res- idue of the cstate, he is bequeathed $5000, and by preventing her relatives from vis- iting Mrs. Cogswell was enabled to carry out his alleged scheme to avail himselt | of her weakness and secure a lon’s share of the estate. Richards claims that on many occasions Ne called at the rooms of his aunt, but| was refused admittance by Skellinger, the | latter claiming at such times that Mrs. Cogswell was i1l and did not wish to see He claims that several times during : of Skellinger he secured en- trance to the rooms and that he was then always cordially received by his aunt, Richards claims that because of this re- straint his aunt became subject to the| wishes of Skellinger, and that therefors the making of the will was not a free and voluntary act. He claims also that it was | because of Skellinger's influence that Mrs, Cogswell inserted in her will a clause pro- | viding that should any of the legatees contest the document he or she should the absen Upon the fikng of the petition Judge Troutt issued an order directing the leg- | atees under the will or their legal repre sentatives to appear before him on Feb- ruary 16 and show cause why the prayer | of the petitioner should not he granted. | Mrs. Cogswell died a year ago, leaving n e worth $500,000.

Father P. D. Brady, the popular pastor of 8t. John's Church, on St. Mary's ave- nue, opposite old St. Mary's College, was tendered a grand farewell reception last | night by his parishioners previous to his | visit to Europe. The re- | ception was held in a large room in the | old college building. A very interesting | programme was rendered. At the conclu- | sion of the programme T. R. Ruling, | chairman of the reception committeee, | presented Father Brady with a substan- | tial purse. In making the presentation Mr. Ruling paid a glowing tribute to the earnest and devoted work which Father Brady has performed as pastor of St. John's parish. He said that it was due to Father Brady's efforts that the handsome | new church was recently constructed. Father Brady made an appropriate re- generosity to him, and for the regard | which they manifested for him in arrang- ing such an entertaining farewell recep- tion. He said that the happiest day of his life was that on which he was or- dained a minister of God and that the ext happiest was the present occasion, as then he was afforded an opportunity to witness his parishioners’ friendship for him. The programme consisted chiefly of vo- cal and instrumental music. Every num- ber was greatly enjoyed and all those who took part were liberaily applauded. The programme was as follows: Solo, M. W. Farrell; recitation, Miss Madge Connolly; song, Sergeant Hurley; solo, Miss Jessie McCarthy; solo, Miss Kittler; piano solo, William Raye: solo, Miss Btta Welsh; duet, Miss May Thomas and Miss Jessie MeCarthy; solo, Miss Nora Sandy; presentation of purse and remarks, T.

Sheer gratitude, however, compels the confession that Mme. Sarah Wolden, the “world's greatest composer- planist-vocalist,” the lady whose por- trait, surrounfed by the lesser luminaries, Mozart, Wagner, has adorned the shop windows so plenteously of late, and who descended upon a local audience last night, is less impudent than amusing. The audience that came to scoff remained to laugh—less half of it that walked out after the first group of solos, and as it should have known what to expect if it didn't, is entitled to no sympathy on the score of being as badly | gold as it ever happens to an audience to be. With the echoes of the Gabrilowitseh Beethoven still trembling in the air, Mme. ‘Wolden began her programme with a i tle thing of her own, “Grand Fantasi in D flat major. Incontestably the thing is in D flat major, for there is nothing in it beyond a dry picnicking on the tonic common chord, with an orgy of watery scales. People began to look at their neighbors after the first three bars. The thoughtless began to grin at the sixth. At the close the audlence was one hyster- ical giggle. Those still unreduced to a jelly of laughter thoughtfully managed the applause that persuaded Mme. Wol- den to her second number. She doesn’t look it. A pleasant-faced, wholesome, middle-aged woman, deluded from her backwoods pinnacle by a wild dream of metropolitan fame, she was not wholly an unpathetic figure until she be- gan on the Chopin *Valse Brilliante” in A flat major. Then pathos went a-glim- mering and one felt murderous. This un- divine Sarah recks not a whit of the wrong note, and little distinctions like the legato and staccato, loud and soft, concern her not. Her pedaling is of the things accursed, her phrasing worse, and Chopin came shrieking, limp and torn from her hands. A profane courage brought her on again for the B flat minor scherzo, which she gave with all the vir- tuoso gesture of a Paderewskl. Still, Mme. Wolden is wo when she sings. Curlosity kept the little crowd to- gether until after her first song, in Ital- fan, the ““Oh, Robert, Robert,” of Meyer- beer—nothing small about the lady. The language is too limited to define the pe- culiar cacophony of her vocal equipment, a cat in office on the back fence coming | nearest. And then the audience began to melt like the thin snow of a day or two ago There was an amus- ing time in the foyer. Strangers greeted one another like long-lost brethren to discuss the queer affair, and then we left soclably together through those “doors that would be closed during the rendition of each number so as to avoid interrup- tion.” A late bulletin from the Alhambra fn- formed me that the chairs were still there.

They then ordered Kisaki to move on, and, turning, they disappeared in the darkness.
