AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Butler VIII Case Gives the Legal Fra
ternify Nufs TO Crack.
The opinion handed down by Judge Haw-
kins of the Orphans Court, in the case of the
contested will of John w. Butler, of Tennes-
see, has an important bearing on several legal
points. The first objection to the will was the
unsigned memoranda or account following the
will. Judge Hawkins decided that by virtue
of the reference and proof of identity it was
entitled to probate as part of the will
AS to the assertion that the will related only
to personal estate, the word effects being used,
it was held that it related to real, as well
as personal estate. In conclusion, it was
decided that the personal estate in Tennessee
having practically been fully administered,
the will is en- titled to probate in Pennsylvania,
where all of the testator's land lies,

probably prove the more popular way.
One or two manuals Of the game have
been issued, but they differ as TO details,
and every one can devise q system for
himself Of making the game progressive,
and also Of scoring, whether by games or
by total Of points, which, explained be-
fore play begins, will do rs well as any

is probably to count one for the highest

Of table Is made. Prizes are given, Of
course, to the highest and second highest
players, and to the BOBBY, separate prizes
for the ladies and for the men, just as in

An important Decision Reversed.

The Supreme court has rendered q
very important decision in the cases
of the United States vs. Carrie Jones
and other parties. Suit was brought
under the act of March 3, 1887, giving
District and Circuit courts jurisdic-
ton in claim cases to compel the Gov.
eminent to issue patents for certain
land. These lands had been entered
in the usual way and paid for, and
Anal receipts issued. Under the re.
form measure of the general land Of
fec g, patents were refused, and plain.
tiffs sought to compel the issuance
The Circuit courts decided that claims
Of this kind should be brought against
the United States Government.
On appeal and in the decision just
rendered the Supreme court reversed
that ruling. The opinion s ates that
the act quoted cannot be us. d to com.
pei a spesific performance of contract
by the Government. The issue Uf pet
ents for l,nds was part of the bust
ness OF the Executive Department Il
the Government, and the Ju iicial
branch canno: control that, or compel
it to a performance of its duties. The
advance of civilization has brought
about a new construction of judicia
powers, submitting the Government
equally with individuals, to the juris
diction of is ourts; but The door h $
not vet been thrown so wide open al
to take the vast interests OF the public
domain from the jurisdiction of TIE
Executive Department ard place j,
under the ntrol Of the courts. The
powers of courts are largely construc
live, the law making power lying with
the legislative branch, and that branch
should not be hampered by direction
