signed is that Jefferson's life estate
was not vested, because his life es-
tate came after his mothers and as
he might die before her he had no
uested interest. | am not sure that
even if this were so, it would avoid
the operation of the rule; but the
case being a devise to the mother for
life, remainder to jefferson for life,
remainder to his heirs in fee, the
mother has a freehold estate cesfed
IN possession, Jefferson vested re-
mainder an interest as distinguished
from possession, to come into pos
session an future; and the heirs of
Jefferson, but for Shelly's rule, would
have q remainder not vested but con-
tingent on there being such heirs IN
esse on the termination of the life es-
tate. The mere fact that the mother
might outlive Jefferson so that his
life estate would not vest in posses
sion, would not prevent his life estate
from vestng in interest. See A Kent
202. 2 Minor, 337, says, "a vested
remainder is one limited to q certain
person, ON certain event, so as to
possess u present capacity to take
effect in possession should the
possession become vacant. 1t
is not the uncertainty of taking
effect in possession that makes Il re-
mander contingent, for to that every
remainder is and must be liable, as
the remainder-man may die before
the end of the particular estate The
present capacity of taking effect in
possession if the possession were to
become vacant, not the certainty
that it will become vacant before
the estate limited in remainder
determines, invariably distin-
cuisines n vested remainder from
one contingent. Thus in case
of lease of life to A remainder TO Y
Gust this case) Us remainder may
never take effect in possession, be-
cause may die before A but being
capable of taking effect in possession
were the possession TO fall by the
death of A, it is a vested remainder"
Hence Jefferson's life estate was vest
ed. 1t will not do to say Jefferson
could not take the fee because there
was life estate in his mother before
his. Such was the case in Moore
cersus Brooke, II Graf, and Good
wta .. Taylor, 2 Wash, and the rule
in Shelly's case prevailed in them.
Lastly, it is claimed that the act
sbolishing the rule in Shelly's case
applies. These titles vested in 1916,
the rule was abolished in 1850, and
it's abolition cannot shake, and was
not intended to impair, titles vested
before the act. 1t is future in opcr-
alton and does not touch this case.

Forney's Progress" for the Future

With this number, Saturday, November
18th, 1880, Progress will begin its third
volume. Hereafter IL will be an Indc-
pendent Democratic paper, retaining all
its eclectic features, discussing society,
finance, the drama, railroads, and foreign
affairs. Its price has been reduced TO
81 90 per annum, or 8 cents a number.
As have placed all my means in the
reorganized enterprise, and propose TO de-
vote all my time to IL, l have no hesitation
in asking my personal and political friends
to give me the benefit Of their prompt and
active cooperation. When we recollect
that over 10000 votes were cast for Gen.
eral Hancock in the city Of Philadelphia
alone, on the ID Of November, and in
Pennsylvania 400, 600, and in the country
at large about fve million of votes, there
ought 10 be ready and liberal response to
the scheme of an Independent Democratic
weekly paper of the highest class in Phil
adclphia.
The hour of Democratic defeat, procured
by open purchase Of the suffrage, and by
deliberate intimidation Of the dependent
citizen, should also be the hour Of Demo-
cratic education and preparation for the
great work Of organization and action, In
tho present and the future.

MEssRs. EDITORS 1T is understood
that the gentlemen who have store-rooms
and houses in Beliefonte, contemplate
making large advances in the rent of their
buildings consequent upon the early re-
sumption of operations at tho car works.
We think these gentlemen are making a
great mistake. Rents are now notoriously
high with us, and this fact, taken In con-
nectiOn with our onerous borough taxes,
makes the cost of living here excessive In
the extreme. Gentlemen, this is not the
way In which TO insure permanent pros
perity and business importance to your
town. You must pursue a more liberal
and generous policy or you may In the
end have cause to bitterly regret your lack
Of forethought. Col. d. q. Bush, Major
w. F. Reynolds, Thomas f. Reynolds, the
Brockerhof Estate, and others, have done
much for Bellefonte In the past, for which
they are entitled TO great credit. In .
spirit Of kindness permit me therefore 10
say that hope they will do nothing now
to lessen in any way those feelings of re-
spect and good will--inspired by their past
liberslity and enterprise--which are felt
for them by their fellow townsmen. An
indiseriminAte raising OF rents at the pres
cnt time will not fall to act injuriously
upon every business interest Of our town,
and should not be thought Of
CITIZEN.
