Dear little hands, miss them SO!
Dear little hands, they have gone from me

Never again win they rest on my brow
Never again smooth my SOfroWful tacSs
Never clasp me in q childish embrace.
And now my forehead grows wrinkled Win

rhe Il ofH Kentuck1.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. ia decls-
ion was rendered by Judge Simrall IN
the law and equity court this morning in
the celebrated salt brought by the su-
preme lodge of K of H. against P. j.
Breckenridge, state supreme treasurer,
to have q special receiver appointed 10
take charge of the funds In his hands,
amounting to $3.50, 900, the court hold
ing that the election of Messrs. Sioat,
Nelson and Milburn outside
of the state OF Kentucky
as supreme dictator, reporter and trus-
tee OF the order respectively. was lille
gal. In the opinion of the judge, these
persons, who claim to be officers elected
outside the state of Kentucky, never had
any legal authority to represent the cor
porstlon, and the doctrine of estoppel
does not apply, because this contest Is
not between the corporation and the
public, or third persons, but Is contest
inside of the corporation as TO who Is
entitled to the fund. In such q contro-
versy the defendant Breckenridge, as
late treasurer and present custodian of
the fund, claiming the duty to hold in
accordance with the requirements OF the
charter until his successor is le-
gaily elected and qualified, is not
stranger or third party IN
legal contemplation. Litigating in
side the corporation, any party in inter
est has right to require that legal
authority be shown at every step. If
widows and orphans are beng made TO
suffer by this controversy, as maintained
by plaintiffs counsel, they have the pro-
found sympathy of the court, but that
furnishes no ground for setting at def
apce the law. This appeal In their be-
half comes with poor grace from the
plaintiff, charged with the duty of ad-
ministering a trust for their benefit &C
cOrding to law, when the plaintiff could
come into Kentucky and elect officers
ia pursuance of law and terminate this
litigation at once, yet it stands in open
violation of law, as inter- reted by this
court, and refuses to come.
