Show w Emma iionott's Will. Emma Abbott's will is a most pleasing surprise. The large property accumulated accumu-lated by the singer is to be divided up in a wue that seems to us to be most just and sensible. The parents are handsomely handsome-ly provided for, sore the brothers and sisters, and so are the nephews and nieces; i a sum aggregating about $350,000 is to be set aside for these purposes. Certain relatives of her husband are remembered and $5,000 is bequeathed to Daniel A. Considine, for a long time her confidential secretary. A number of charitable institutions insti-tutions come in for legacies, and nine churches, most of them located in New York, are to receive the sum of $5,000 each. All Miss Abbott's music, opera j scores and private papers are bequeathed j to Miss Alice Cafferty, of Jersey City, i and from this we ?urmise that Miss I Cufferty may contemplate a biography of her friend; such a work certainly should be undertaken by some competent ! hand.
