PEARSONS, CHARITY.
His Request TO Eleemosynary In.

sttutfohs amounts TO NOtn1n&.
CHICAGO, July 27.-A dispatch from
San Francisco says that portion of the
estate OF the late H. A. Pearsons, of San
Francisco, in Cook county, ILL.,, was be-
queathed to T. @. Hill, of Western
springs, ILL.,, to be used for charitable
purposes. Hill was visited by reporter
this morning. He said he had not been
notified that he was made one OF the ex-
ecutors of the will. Pearsons told him
that he intended leaving his property in
this county to charitable purposes, as far
back as 1882. Hill thinks it will amount
to 5000, 900, but it is in real estate, the
title OF which is in dispute, and has been
for many years.
A member of firm of attorneys for
Parsons, says his property here amounts
to next to nothing. 1t was largely in the
way of expectations on claim to streets
and alleys in property plated by his
father away back in the thirties. This
property his father sold, and it was re-
plated under law that when a street
or alley is vacated, the title reverts to
the original owner. Young Parsons ex-
pected to realize largely from the holders
of the property, but the Supreme Court
decided the test case against him last
year, and all his other suits have been
Withdrawn.
To another reporter who saw Hill, that
gentleman said: "The Chicago property
mentioned as being owned by Pearsons
no longer belongs to the estate, and
therefore there is nothing to bequeath.
The Supreme Court some time ago de.
cided that Pearsons had no title in the
property. The will was evidently drawn
before the Supreme Courts decision was
given. The property claimed by Pear
sons was the Walker addition, in the
lumber districts, on the southwest side,
along the south branch of tie river.
Pearsons' father purchased the prop
erty along in the thirtjes and subdivided
it, laying out streets, etc., but in 1912
sold it to Samuel Walker. Walker re-
plated the land and the streets he made
diagonslly crossed those laid out by Pear.
sons. The latter purported to have found
an old statute providing that Walkers
replattiDg of the land was illegal, and
that therefore the land, or certain por-
tions of it, reverted to him (Pearsons). /.
The courts upheld this view of the case
and Pearsons got back his lands, which
descended to his son. A year ago the
Supreme Court decided that the claim
was invalid"

We learn that the people of Orange
have determined to repeal the prohibit
ton ordinances and invite saloons to
come in at very low license rate. There
are good reasons for this. The drug
stores are getting rich selling whisky
and pay no license. The boys who want
to drink what they please come over to
Santa Ana and spend their money and
have good time. Lastly, Orange has
to do something to keep all of her citi-
zens from moving out of her tight hide
bound limits. therefore she proposes to
restore trade to its natural level and offer
some announcement to business. That

Alive With a Bullet in His Brain.

CHICAGO, July 31.-The case of Her
man Carman, the wealthy real estate
man, who made an unsuccessful attempt
to commit suicide yesterday afternoon,
is regarded by IT, doctors as one OF the
most remarkable of the kind on record.
Notwithstanding the fact that the sec
ond bullet fired by the man passed up,
ward through the roof of the mouth and
penetrated the brain, he is conscious,
and recognizes not only the members OF
the family, but also the doctors and
others he hadssecn. He knows all that
is going on about him. The doctors
probed for both balls this morning and
found the first bullet lodged i'll the thick
bone near the car; the other, and the
one likely to prove fatal, was found IN
the top Of the head near the skull. The
effect of this bullet has been to para,
I'VE the right side of the body, and
from this fact the doctors know where
ii is. Dr.. Graves says there Is but one
hope OF complete recovery. and that
lies in removing Il part OF the skull anu
takino out the bullet from the brain.

The English sparrow has no friends,
but there is no denying that it is chock-
full of pluck and perseverance. 1t is
born hustle. and fighter,.an never gives
up while ere is spark of life in its
little brown body. An instance is giyen
by a Memphian whose word is not
doubted by people who care toavoid un-
pleasant consequences. 4 mother spar
row built her nest in q tall mulberry
tree. where in due time half dozen lit
tic ones were hatchcd to her. She guarded
the nest faithfully against all comers
and fed her fledglings with the best the
bird market afforded, so that they
throvc nightly and gave promise Of
becoming as great nuisance as their
parents. But one day there came
storm that beat away the sheltering
branches about the nest and overturned
it. The little sparrows fell to the brick
walk, distance of at least twenty feet,
and larded with a bump that wonld have
paralyzed Youngsters Of any other bIosd.
They wee stunned BY the fall, but
soon braced up and answered the anS-
ious cries of their mother. She flew
down and eomforted them with sundTy
loving caresses on their little fuzzy
bodies, and having raised their spirits
she called her mate. He came IN hot
haste, Just as the storm subsidized. The
parents held little council and finally
hit upon plan. The male bird flew up
and righted the nest and then reioined
his family. The mother coaxed one OF
the youngsters to get on her back
and the father did the like with
another. When their freight was
fairly stored the old birds lose
on steady wing. But the little ones
were not used to such riding, and when
about ten feet above the ground they
lmbled off, landing heavily on the
bricks again Nothing daunted, the
D. 'ent birds returned to the attempt.
Again and again the little fellows tum-
bled off and got severe knocks, but they
cs'me up smiling from each round, and
after an hour o: hard work and harder
bumps they were once more lodged III
their lcafy cradle.

A MASONIC EDICT.
Ruling Out the Cerneau Scottish Rite.
Lodges IS Claudestiae.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Thc contro-
vcrsy which has been Gcneral among
the Masonic fraternity throughout the
| country respecting the Cerli@au Scottish
Rite has eliminated here in the ;ssue Of
an cdict by Harrison Dinyman, Most
Wor<hipful Grand Massar Of Nasors OF
the District of Columbia, under date Of
July %, pronouncing the Ccrneau or
ganization clandcstine and warning all
members Of that rite that they are la
bic to discipline from the Grand Lodge,
unless they at once withdraw from said
Cerneau body. The main reason for the
edict, aside from other questions arising
in the Scottish Rite controversy, is.
stated to be that the Cerneau organiza-
ton has established relations Of amity
and Masonic correspondence with the
Grand Orient Of France. the governing
body Of Masons in that country, which
is under the ban of at least every Enc
disappearing Grand Lodge ia the world,
because the Grand Orient has stricken
the name Of God from its rituals. The
grand lodges of this country, it is said,
have an additional grievance against the
Grand Orient of France because the
latter persists in recognizing the negro
grand lodges of the United States
Grand Master Dingman's edicy directs
that all visitors to lodges in the District
Of Columbia shall be required to state
before admission that they are not mem
bers Of the Cerneau organization. The
meeting of the Cerneau organization in
any Masonic hall is also prohibited.
AN APPEAL TO THE COURTS.
CHICAGO, July so.-A special from
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, says: Action was
begun yesterday in the District Court at !.
Marion that will startle Masonic circles
more than anything else Of late years.
Judge Preston of the Eighteenth judi
cial District, on the petition of c. E.
Barnes of Burlington, J. G. Graves and
Henry Bennett, plaintiffs, and the grand
officers of Iowa Consistory of that
branch of Scottish Rite Masonry CON-
monty known as the Cerneau, ordered
temporary injunction against the Grand
Lodge of Iowa Ancient Free and Ac
cepted Masons, restraining them from
putting into effect the legisla
ton OF the last session of the
Grand Lodge referring to Cerneau
bodies, and which commanded Master
.Masons to leave the Consistory Of Iowa
of that rite, under pain Of expulsion
The petition states that as the body
represented by plaintiffs does not confer
Blue Lodge degrees, and the GRIND
Lodge or its subordinate lodges do not
confer twcnty-ninc higher degrees, the
Grand Lodge has no jurisdiction what
ever, and its action is illegal, arbitrary,
oppressive, proscriptive of their iEdi-
yidual consciences and Ma onic relations,
and hurtful to their standing as good
reputable citizens.
This is the first time a Masonic body
has appealed to the State coIs IS, and
the action Of the Supreme Court, to-
which it will finally go, will boa prece-
dent for other States. The time tor
