The Ypsilantian fnriiishes the public witli the following, relative to the will of the lateMrs. Starkweather : "Tlie daily press are so at varianceas to the beqüests made by Mrs. Starkweather, that we have taken much pains to get the correct data, all of which are conflrmed by Mr. Hemphill. The original will designated James McMillan and Robert Hemphill as executors, but some time ago, Mr. McMillan by his owu request, was relieved of the responsibility, so that Mr. Hemphill remains as sole executor. The public will understand that many chances have occurred since the will was made. Originally it contained provisión for the Memorial Chapel, the Ladies' Library, and other iuterests, but with the provisión that these beqüests should lapse in case these provisions should be carried out before lier death. In case of other lapses made possible by passage of time and vet undetermined, the Ladies' Library and G. A. R. Post of this city may receive certain sums, the amount of which is yet unknown. The following data however, canbe relied upon. "To the Presbyteriau churcli of this city, $1,000; to the Lutheran church, $300; to St. Luke's, $500, bat it is not vet kuown whether this provisión was fulfilled by her gift to the church of the piano now in the church house. "The special beqüests to personal friends and others in whom she was interested were $300 to each of the following: Mrs. Towner, Mrs. Platt, widow of Rev. Mr. Platt, Mrs. F. P. Bogardus Mrs. Hodgkins, Mrs. J. D. Pierce, Mrs. Pr. Post. In addition to this, Mrs. Deubel receives $5,000, and the children, John and Ethel, $1,000 each.

These are substantially her gifts to friends outside the famïly. "Her niece, Mrs. A. Y. Ladue of Detroit, receives $10,000; her nephew, Harry Newberry, $10,000.
