100000 without q Claimant-Penn
sylvanta Wants 1.-THE Supreme
Court Of that State Says No.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 28-The Supreme
Court has decided the case brought by the State
Deputy Excheator against the Philadelphia
Saving Fund Society for 100000, unclaimed
deposits, which the Commonwealth claimed to
have escheated, on the ground that it consisted
Of deposits, the owners of which had died
leaving no lawful claimants to them.
The decision says the proceeding to escheat
the surplus fund being illegal, both in its object
and its mode, the judge at nis prius was right in
enjoining that the act is contrary to law, and is
prejudicial to the interest of society and the
depositors, and no one can doubt that an at
tempt to wrest from its surplus fund with the
apparent appreciation of the court must impair
1t and curtail its business, and might subject IL
to seizure of its deposits, forcing it either to
suspend payment or to impair its assets, by
sacrifices necessary to maintain its solyency

shows the simple justice and humanity of this
course, for the young woman is now AZ her

lently insane. From Concord she went to Lowell.
ana was employed In several respectable fami-
lies. and stole various articles from every one of
them. Some years ago young man in Brook
lyn was arrested for stealing shoe from the foot
OF lady In the street. He was the son of an
excellent clergyman, and on the trial it was
clearly proven that he had kleptomapia for
stealing shoes and only shoes, burying them i'm
gardens and other hiding places. Yet Il is
necessary that care be taken that those who steal
with malice prepeDse shall not have license
