AN INTERESTING WILL CASE.
A Devise TO n Dead Person Declared

Judge Hagner has handed down a decree In
the case OF Hockemeyer OF al. VI. Neumeyeret
al, a proceeding In equity brought sons
month"; ago by Lawyers Warren O. Stone and
Fred. W. Jones to interpret tho following
clauso in the Will OF Christopher Neumeyer,
deceased, viz: 81 give and boqueathe to my
four children namely, John, Henry, Leopold
and Catherine, and to their heirs and assigns
forever, all the rest and residue of my prop
erty, real and personal, OF every kind and de.
scription, share and share alike"
Itappears from the proceedings that Henry,
one of the persons described IN the above
clause as a devisee, was dead when the Will
was made, which fact gave rise to n dispute
as to the disposition OF the one-fourth Of the
estate divised TO him by his father. The dc.
cree Of Judge Hagner declares the devise TO
Henry r0id deriSt and that as TO the undl-
vided fourth part OF tho really attempted to
have been divised TO Henry, the said testator
is held to have died Interstate, and that this
portion OF the real estate, devolyed at said
testator's death upon the testator's hefrs at
law and not upon the heirs OF Henry. Tho
words sand to their heirs and assignors, In
said clause the Court holds TO be merely
wordo OF Limitation indicating that the estate
OF each child was to be fee simple.

THE SALE OF COUNTRY PRODUCE.
MarketmRster Buell Explains the
INV floating II

Matchmaker Buell., of the Centre Market,
stated TO CRITIC reporter this morning that
most Of those who are complaining about the
section In the proposed new License bill re-
latiDg to the sale of produce at the market by
countrymen are laboring under misappre-
heDsion as 10 the law.
'In tho first place." said he, "the market is
supposed TO close at noon. The law gives the
farmer tho privilege to retail his truck from
10 10 o'clock a. m. without a license, and after
10 O'Clock he can close out at wholesale II he
desires. This is not taking away the rights
of the farmers who come In to the market to
dispose OF their products, as is charged by
some. 1t is only giving the hucksters who pay
license tax chance. 1t would not be OK
actly fair to allow the countrymen to come In
and sell alongside OF them all day and pay no
license. The new law gives the produce deal.
ers two houre--from 10 TO 12-to sell without
competition from the farmers"

WHY WE ARE PECULIAR
In the Discussion and Consideration
of Political MnttcrA.

"How does 1t happenf" inqureda CRITIC re-
porter Of citizen well versed in matters OF
local government, shat the new License bill
has called forth 80 much discussion, IL It
is not true that 1t meets with very great popu-
lar opposition"
81 VIII Just give you pointer on that-tne
people or Washington arc not like the people
of other cities, and although you may say that
they have allowed themselves to be badly
governed In the past, they know more about
the science OF government, have more Views
and theories, and take moro interest In their
own affairs than the people OF
any other city In the country.
Washington is the fountain head OF political
wisdom and reasoning, and every man,
woman and child gets ideas OF things, legis-
lative, judicial and executive, and you can
get up discussion on these matters easier
and keep II up longer than In any other city
In the country. In n busy city like New
York, Philadelphia or Baltimore the politi
clans and monopolists fix thugs up, and tue
people do not know what is going on or have
aword 10 say"

SEVERAL courts in the Eastern

SEVERAL courts in the Eastern
States have admitted Cinnamon to
citizenship, and others bsve refused
to do so on tenable grounds, which
are adduced by Judge Truax OF the
Supreme Court of New York. Jose
Pasoz, q Chinaman with Spanish
name. made application before Judge
Truax to be admitted to the rights of
citizenship, which were denied him.
Judge Trusx held that the act of Con-
gress of February, 1875, amending
section 1859 of the revised statutes
by inserting the words, "being free
white PERSONS" excludes the Mongo-
lisn race from the benefit of the act
providing for citizenship in the
United statcs. The act OF May, 1882,
also, Judge Truax declares, forbids
any federal or state court to admit
q Chinaman to the right of American
citizenship. 1t is to be hoped that
the courts all over tho United States
will have their attention called to
this decision.
