Aquist and Regina Doe, whose surname
is unknown, to have judicially deter
mined the right to 1925, due upon the
death OF Lewis Bonface, who was a
member OF the association, and who
died on March 5, 1892 The money
was payable. first, to the person dcsig-
mated on the certificate of membership;
secondly, to the widow of the deceased,
and, thirdly, to his children. There
was no designation upon the certificate
of membership. and Lena Bonifaee
claimed the exclusive title to the fund
upon the ground that she was the law
full wife Of Mr. Boniface.
The other defendants asserted that
they were the children OF Mr. Boniface
and his wife, Theresa Bonifaec. They
denied that Lena Boniface ever was the
wife OF the decedent. They said that
Mr. Boniface married their mother in
March, 1912, at Hamburg, and that
after her death he did not marry again.
Judge Donohue. in deciding the ones
tion few days since. said:
"a meretricious relation, known to be
such by the parties, cannot be validited
even by holding out as husband and
wife, but when the original relation
was honestly entered into by one of
the parties, without knowledge OF a
prior marriage by the other, the rule
does not apply, and think the proofs
in this case entitle the defendant,
Lena Boniface, to the money on the
policy as his widow"

A Bad Beginning.

Immediately after the death OF
President Garfield it was proposed
TO erect a monument to his memory
in Golden Gate Park, San Francis
co, and circulars soliciting sub
scription were sent all over the
coast. Considerable money was
raised in this way and the Execu-
tive Committee of the Monument
Association let a contract for build
ing a foundation for the monument
10 one Weisman, who sublet 1t to
one Grifeths, who in turn re-sublet
it to some one else The Execu
tive Committee was notified by the
contractor of the completion Of the
foundation a day or two ago, and
they went to the Park to examine
it. They unanimously condemned
it and notified the contractor that
he must reconstruct the entire
foundation and build it according
to specifications, or suit will be
brought against him on his bonds
The surprising part Of the trans
action is that the Treasurer of the
Committee is not il Europe spend
ing the money.
