IoHAcA, n. Y. May 26.-There is great
rejoicing here tonight among CornellItes
over the favorable decision that has Just
been rendered to-day in the great
Fiske- Cornell university Will case by
Surrogate Lyon. 1t will be remembered that
Prof. FisEe claimed that the legacy to Cor
nell university for library purposes, agere-
eating over 81, 600. 600, was invalided be-
cause by section in its charter the univer-
sity was limited in its holdings" to sum
not exceeding $3,OO0,O 600. He further
claimed that if this proposition was
not good, his wife had willed
to charitable and literary institutions.
including Cornell university, more than one
half her estate, and that the excess over
one-half should come to him as her hus-
band. Surrogate Lyon decided against
Prof. Fiske OIL both of these grounds partly
upon the facts and wholly upon
the law involved in the case, and
in his decree entered and re-
corded to-day, the judge ratities all the
payments made by Executor Boardnlan to
the university. and directs the executor to
pay over to the university upward of S14O,-
600, which is now OH hand and ready for
distribution. He adjudges that all the pro-
ceedS of the remaining property after the
future expenses OF administration are paid,
shall be
TURNED OVER TO CORNELL UNIVERSITY
when converted into money, Or at such
other time or in such otller form as may be
agreed upon between Executor Boardman
and the university. Judge Lyon finds that
the value of Mrs. Fiske's estate at the date
of her death, after the payment
of her debts, was 50, OPS, $685. and
that the value of the university property in
which, under section of its charter. the
university was entitled to the income was
So, 800. 012.26, consisting entirely of the
proceedings of the college land script and
Western lands located with this script.
But he decides that the property
which the university owned absolutely,
subject to no conditions, under section 5
of its charter, containing the $1,000, 900
clause, did not exceed S59S, 5SS. 81.
thus leaving over So. 600, 900 which the
! university could take under Mrs. Fiske's
will if the residiuin shoul happen to amount
to that The actual value of the legacies,
specific and resduary, it is estimated will
amount to between 81. $50. GOO and $780,
| 600, and all of it is to be devoted to library
purposes except $4,000. which is to be
used for hospital for sick students:

with total of IL. The visitors got bat

hits and errors by Bates and ORourke got
in three unearned runs. In only two in
nings were they permitted to score. Min

beautiful game. In the seventh, O'Day

were the features of the game. The score

Personal Following Doesn't Count.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Several days
ago Warren English, young Californian
politician, called upon the president to urge
the appointment of his brother, Will
lam English, as postmaster at
San Francisco. The president told
him all the applications would
be carefully considered as soon as the case
could be reached. Mr.. English remarked
that his brother ought to be given the place
on account of his long party service, and
added that he had a larger personal follow
ing than any other Democrat in California.
The President interrupted him and said:
''I care nothing whatever about your
brother or anybody else's personal following.
Fitness for office is the first, and l may say
the only consideration which governs me.
If your brother is Il proper man for the place
it will be strong recommendation in his
favor; if he is not, want nothing to do with
him. His personal following cuts no figure in
the matter whatever"
Mr.. English left the White house with a
new idea of reform politics.
