The practice of appointing an individual executor, trustee, administrator or guardian too frequently leads to an -unpleasant break in a long period of friendship. How much better it is to avail yourself of the "calm, impersonal judgment and businesslike methods of this powerful company, operated for this very purpose.

Many of those who have had to Journey clear aeross the continent to take part in the Forbes Field contests already have started, and some of them have arrived, but the great majority are hard at work in scores of ditferent training camps dotted here and there all over the United States, utilizing every possible moment in the final perfecting of muscle and oinow fnr the tremendous ordeals to which hey are about to be subjected in the forthcoming championship games. SEVEN CALIFORNIANS HiUlitu Seven members of the famous Olympic club of San Francisco, are already on the 'scene. Trainer Walter Christie with Bill Wyman. the fleet-footed sprinter and Sam Bellah. the celebrated pole vaulter.

reached Pittsburg over a week ago and have established a training camp at Saltsburg. where they were Joined unexpectedly yesterday by five other members of the team who quietly slipped into Pittsburg in the morning and boarded the first-train for Saltsburg, so eoger were they to get down to hard training work. The recent arrivals are Ed. Macauley, who has a mark of 50 seconds for the 44 yard run; E. who does the 220 yards dash in 22 1-5 seconds and the low hurdles in 23 3-5 seconds: Snedisor.

who can throw the Javelin 160 feet 10 inches, does the hop, skip and lump for feet. inches; the 100 yards in IO seconds; covers feet, 7.38 inches in the broad jump, and puts the shot 4.1 feet- George Horine, who does 4 inches in the high Jump, and Captain Pete Gerhardt, who is one of the speediest 100 and 220 yar men in this country. Charles Morris the high and low hurdler is expected to arrive Sunday, and Ralph Rose the phenomenal weight vi ill c-et here early in the week. Naturally the point of vital interest to athletic experts all over the country is the track "upon which the men will have to conter.t, and closely has the construction of the new quarter mile track in Forbes Field been watched. All the big clubs have charts of the track now in' thriir possession, and are kept informed up to the minute as to every minutest detail and development of the work.

Martin A. Deiancy. athletic director of the Chicago Athletic association, writes that Sn opinion the new trui; Is flawless and should give the vorld an exhibition of the fleetest sprinting and long distance running evo presented in this or any other coutrv. ITe casually remarks that he on hand with a team of 20 men to i re of some of the medals. A larcre d.

of renters from the Windy City WOMEN ARE INTERESTED On- of the pleasantest features ofthc Amateur Athletic Union meets has always been the large attendance of the fair sex at the games. The total elimination of everything of a professional nature, and the presence among the contending athletes of a large number of prominent collegians tends to raise to a still higher pitch the keen interest taken in amateur sports now displayed by all wide awake, healthy American women. And that thev will be present in unusual numbers at Forbes preFleld Is confidently to bi expected. One thing is sure, that never at any nrevious meet of the A. A.

T5. have such elaborate arrangements for the cunfort and pleasure of feminine spectators been made as ta Forbes Field. Comfortable seats, commanding an obstructed view of every event on the field or track, high, airv and shielded from the sun, are awaiting them and their escorts. Everything In absolutely free, which is another striking departure from former championship meets of the A. A.

TJ. The Pittsburg Press, under whose auspices the championships aw h1d. has attended to this, and extends a cordial invitation to you and all yoif f'-'ends to enjoy this greatest of all athlf'c pageants. LESLIE'S TRIAL PUT OFF UNTIL SEPTEMBER. The trial of Max G.

Leslie, county delinquent tax collector, will not be taken up before next September because of the absence from the State of K. H. Jen- nincs, a very important witness for the commonwealth. This announcement was made by District Attorey WiiUam A. BlaUeley today.

a a Thursday, June 22. Outside of San Toy5 Mining-, there was no feature worthy of mention on the Pittsburg exchange this morning. The decline In New York did not inspire any increase in offerings and price changes were confined to small fractions. San Toy was strong and active and was lifted from 30 to 34 cents per share, the highest in months, presumably on the report that the company will soon pay a dividend of 2 cents per share. Crucible Steels were only moderately aeffcted by the reaction in Steel common.

On small sales, the preferred dropped from 826 to 82 and the common was about steady at 13. The oil and gas list was neglected. Oklahoma Natural continued to bring 58. Pure Oil was wanted at 9 and offered at 94, while Ohio Fuel Oil quoted at 6, bid. Manufacturers Light Heat offered at 21, with 21, the best bid.

for the first time in several weeks such a reversal of sentiment that suggested leading inarket interests are becoming quite rervons over the outlook. The coalition of the Democrats and Insurgent Republicans in ordering the finance committee to report out the free wool bill was so unexpected that Wall Street immediately became of the opinion that the entire course of tariff legislation might be suddenly changed. The prospects of an early passage of the xeciDrocity agreement is apparently removod, and it is now feared that the net rosult of the extra session will bo a marked disappointment. Naturally. Wail Street cannot be expected to assume a half-way course and this morning's pessirni3m, like the recent crop reports from the northwest, was evidently based on exaggeration.

There 1 were, however, a number of incidents that tended to unnerve the bulls. The investigation of the steel corporation ry the federal grand jury at New Yorx In the matter of price agreements and rebating as applied to rates on cement was a factor of ome importance and Steel common felt considerable bearish pressure. "The verdict against the so-olaled Powder Trust by the U. S. Circuit court at Wilmington, Delaware, called attention to the fact that many corporations will probably have to change their methods of operation and organization.

Continued reports of dry weather, most confined, to South Dakota, were reiterated, though statements from other quarters were to the effect that northwestern promises, as a whole, were satisfactorp. Continued dry weather again was instrumental in advancing corn and op over a cent per bushel to the highes-. level on the present movement, while there was a further upward swing in the wheat pit in Chicago. The extreme declines in the stock marKet extentlecl Irom 1 to about 2 per cent in the general itst. The leaders were Steel common.

Union and North orn Pacific, St. Paul, Reading and the metal shares, all of which declined sharply. After the onslaught in the first hour, there was a steadier tone and a fair recovery followed before noon. The undertone was nervous and unsettled. The German Savings and Deposit bank has declared a quarterly dividend of 4 per cent.

This is a distance of 4.7 miles. The road will be built ultimately to Pt. Marion, Pa. and thence to Morgantown, W. Va.
