Vanderbilt's Will.

The provisions Of the will Of VIM. H. Van
derbilt have been made public. Instead of
following the example of his father and leav-
ing the vast body Of his estate to a favored
son. the late Mr. Vanderbilt has divided his
property into three parts. He leaves to his
widow the magnificent mansion, 50 lately built
and occupied, for the term of her life, and an
annual income of two hundred thousand dol
lars in lieu of dover. Forty millions Of dol
lars in United States and railroad bonds and
stocks are bequeathed to the eight children OF
the deceased, share and share alike, IN trust,
during their natural lives, with the right to
apply the income of the same to their rcspec-
tive uses. They are prohibited from using
any part of the principal, but at the death of
the beneficiary the sum accruing to them re-
spectively may be left i'll such shares or pro
portions as they may devise to their children.
Forty millions additional are to be divided in
equal shares among the eight children, with
absolute power over their respective portions.
Two millions Of dollars, over and above the
share allotted to him, is bequeathed to Cor
neius Vanderbilt. The minor and charitable
requests reach, it is estimated, two and a-halt
millions more-Alr. Depew estimates them at
a much greater sum-maklng the total be
quests about ninety-six millions of dollars.
The residue of the estate, supposed to be
about as much more, is to 90 i'll equal parts
to Cornelius and VIM. X. Vanderbilt. The
wife and sons of the deceased are made exec
utors and trustees Of the estate without
charge, with provision for the appointment OF
other trustees during the continuance Of the
trust fund in the event of any contingency
arising that might make such appointment
necessary. AS briefly stated by Mr.. Depew
Take the will in its broadcast terms. and set
aside the amount given III charity and the
amounts necessary to take care OF the various
annuities, which might be between 81, 900, 900
and ST, 900, 900, it leaves his eight children
$50, 900, 900, $40, 600, 600 of it in absolute own
ership. Then it leaves Cornelius and his
eldest son s., 600, 900 besides. Then it divides
all the residue and remainder equally between
Cornelius and VIM. X" 1t is further stated
by him that the two brothers, Cornelius and
VIM. X, who get the larger share of the es-
tate, "are in the railroad business to stay,
and the inference is that the railroad proper
ties they hold i'll trust, or have to manage for
themselves, will be kept intact, and that con
sequently the death of their father will make
no change in the character of the securities
he held, or produce any serious disturbance
in Wall street operations in those or Other
stocks.

The effort to form a new county from por-
tons Of Prince Georges, Montgomery, Anne
Arundel and Howard counties, with the coun-
ty seat at Laurel, which is now being made
by residents of that village and vicinity, will
likely come to naught Howard is small
enough now, and the populations ofthe others
are none too large. IF the people to be en-
braced in the new county would stop to con-
slider the cost of their undertaking, they would
speedily drop it. There is no doubt some
occasional Inconvenience to those remote
from their county seats ia attending courts,
&C., bat that is small matter when compared
to the excessive taxation that must be borne for
some years in erecting county buildings. AT
all times the taxes must be high, for the tax
able basis would be small, and the population
could not be made large, because other coun,
ties could not be reduced much. The forma'
ton of another county would add to the mem
bership of the Legislature, which is now en-
tirely too large.

Views of the Maryland Senators and
Representative on the Presidents
Message.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun gives the following as the
views of the Maryland Senators and four of
the Representatives on President Cleveland S
message, after its first reading in both houses:
Senator German said the President had
pleased the Northern and Eastern men by his
utterances on the tariff and silver questions,
but his views on these questions were not
relished by some of the Southern and West
ern men. So far as he is concerned indlvid-
ually he considers the message very salts
factory and carefully drawn paper, perhaps a
trhe too long, because too much space Is
given to details.
Senator Wilson, of Maryland, said he was
unable to hear the reading throughout, but
the portion he did hear convinced him that
the President had given considerable time
and attention to public affairs, and was pretty
well informed on the subjects touched upon
and discussed in the message.
Representative Findlay said the President
adheres strictly to the principles set forth in
the Chicago platform of 1884, and is sound on
the silver question. Mr.. Finday said he was
unable to hear all of the Executive commqpi'
cation.
Representative McComas said the message
was too general respecting the tariff, but II
was sound as to silver coinage and civil ser
vice. sit is very long," said he, perhaps
because the problems of administration are
new to the President"
Representative Gibson said he had been
unable to pay strict attention to the reading
of the message.
Representative Shaw said so much of 1t as
he heard sounded thoroughly statesmanlike
and contained the ideas of "a man Who had
given careful study to the subjects under dis

General Robert Toombs died at his home
in Washington, Georgia, Tuesday evening, in
the 10th year of his age. The Augusta, Ca,

EDIToRs OF THE ADvoCATE-Dear Sirs -
There appeared in the last issue of the ADvo-
CATE an article concerning several students of
the Theological Seminary, which was taken
from the Hring Literary Gazette. and which
we are very sorry has appeared. The article
was written upon erroneous information given
us, and was inserted in the Gazette before the
truth or falsty of the report could be ascer-
tained. We are glad to say that the state
ment had no truth in it whatever Such re-
ports serve to detract from the character of Il
class of young men by whom good name is
held most sacredly, and no one can regret its
appearance more than we do. Hoping that
you will give this letter a place in your col
umns, we remain Most Sincerity,

The Publication of the Laws.

From the HagcrStorH NerS.
We are glad to see that two of the ablest
and most influential opponents of progressive
Democracy in Maryland, the Westminster
ADVOCATE and the Cambridge Chronicle, have
raised their voices in favor of disseminating
among the people the laws that they are eX-
nected to observe. Ignorance of the law
excuses no man; is an legal maxim, but it
is very poor consolation to an unfortunate
citizen. who, through ignorance of a law
nassed a few weeks before, may find himself
behind the bars of the county Jail, mulcted IN
heavy damages or compelled to pay hne.
This would be rather unpleasant state OF
circumstances, but one not at all unlikely to
occur under the present condition OF AFFAIRS
which causes laws to be enacted, and then
leaves those to be affected to find them out IN
the best Tor worst way they can. We are in
favor of the widest dissemination of knowl-
edge amongst the masses; public schools,
public bibles, public libraries, and the publ
cation of the public laws. Of course, the
diffusion of knowledge costs some money.
We might abolish the public schools alto
pether and rear our children in dense igno-
rance, and thereby save the salaries Of many
teachers, the various comfortable school
houses and other items WHICH will occur to
the advocates of such economy We be:
Ieye. however, that the intelligent people OF
MARYLAND are not in favor of such economy
as would leave the youthful mind IN darkness;
that they do not believe that public school
is on the same footing with "a public soup
house." and that they are not in favor OF a
system which would send men to Jail, impose
heavy fines upon them and involve them in
EXPENSIVE law suits for violating laws which
they do not know are in existence. Let the
Iaws he nublished.

as clerk through the influence of Thomas e..
Morrow, editor and proprietor of the Wash

was in but one room at the Department, and
that was when he drew his salary twice a

the decision of the Circuit Court of Hamilton
county. The effect of this decision is tic give
the Democrats three majority in the Senate
In the House the Republicans will have SIX
majority, and majority of three on Joint bal
lot The Senate being Democratic, the he
publican scheme to district the state, IN
order to secure more Republican members IN
Congress, will be thwarted. Senator Sher-
man, too, may find some difficulty in securing
his reelection to the United States Senate.
There is an effort being made to GUST him. If
two Republicans refuse to support him, they
can, by obtaining the Democratic vote, elect
some other Republican. 1t is said that more
than two are opposed to his return. These,
however, may be holding off for reward

In discussing the new code of joint rules on
Tuesday, the Senate drifted into a discussion
on the use and sale of liquor in the Capitol.
The former rules forbid their sale, and the
new code reenacts the prohibition. Senator
Cockrell, of Missouri, remarked that the rule
was farce, and read the list of liquors and
wines from the menu of the Senate restaurant
eur, then added that he had been brought from
the Prohibition State of Maine by Senator
FRYE, of that State, who, as chairman OF the
committee on rules, at all times had power to
enforce the rule and repress the sale liquors
and wines. Other Senators alluded to the
immoderate use of stimulants, and one went
so far as to say that the Senate occasionally
had to adjourn on account of the inebnated
condition of some of the members. The old
rule was perhaps blind to delude the people,
and it is likely the new code will include the
rule against intoxicants, as further blind,
while those who believe in taking little VINE
for the stomachs sake will continue to tip the
glasses From the tone of the debate 1t is
quite evident that very many OF the learned
Senators are not camels, and can't go two
weeks without drinking.
