The question of mental capacity in
the matter of executing contracts is al
ways a recOndite theme for legal con-
trOversy. The supreme court yester-
day dealt with such case. 1t is related
in decision filed that Jacob Trimbo,
the father of George and Michael Trim
bo, the two latter being the litigants.
owned farm of 266 acres, upon which
he resided until his decease, the eighty
acres upon which the dwelling was sit
uated being his homestead. He was
taken quite i'll in November. 1885. and
he made his will; but shortly afterward,
having concluded that it was better to
divide his property among his children
during his lifetime. so as to save the
cost aud trouble of administration. he
destroyed the will, and about Dec L
executed two deeds, MS wife join
ing-one to Michael. conveying 160
acres of land, including the home
stead so, and another to q son named
Henry, covering the balance of the
farm. The conditions of the deeds
were that the grantees should pay GER
tain sums of money to other children,
and support the grantOrS during their
lives. Jacob died in 1856 and his
wife in 1888. George then brought &C
ton to have the deeds. the conditions of
which having been fully complied with,
set aside Oh the ground of the mental
incapacity of both grantOrs. The trial
court found that Jacob, the father, was
of sound mind, but that his wife was
mentally incapable of executing the
deeds, and held that SO far as they at
tempted to convey the homestead
eighty acres, they were void, and as to the
other were void as to an undivided one
third. The supreme court reversing
this, indites the following syllabus.

In the absence of fraud or undue in
fiuence, mere weakness of intellect re-
Sulting from old age or sickness is no
ground for setting aside an executed
contract. The rule as TO the measure
of mental capacity in such cases is
simply that the contracting party must
have enough to reasonably understand
the nature and effect of what he is do
ing. Where the incapacity is not con-
tinuOuS, and the act is In itself reason
able and proper, and hence furnishes
no intrinsic evidence of mental inca
pacity, the burden Is on the party assail-
ing the act to shOwt the incapacity at the
time it was done.

The Denison Suicide.

The suicide on October 9th at the Hotel

leading old man of the English company
that supported the kendals during the en-
gagenent just closed at the Star, has caused
surprise and given rise to much comment.
Denson was in 1.-THE dumps" as he ex-
pressed it, or run down by an attack of
malarial fever, and both Mr.. and Mrs. Ken
dal, as well as Mrs. Marsh, proprietress OF
the hotel, tried without avail TO rally him.
When found he was in the bathroom. with
the door fastened. He had fallen into
crouching position. his legs bent under him
as he sank down. his head on the floor and
his hands caught between his knees and his
body. He was dead. In one hand he still
grasped the razor with which he had cut a
cash about two inches deep clear across his
throat. DeniSou was engaged to marry
Miss Hudspeth of Richard Mansfeld's COM
pany. His real name was Dixon. His
father. who was a big ship-builder in Glas-
Cow, Is dead, but his mother is living in
Deal, England. He has two brothers and
one sister. One brother is an actor, who is
playing in London. The first that Mr.. Ken
dal knew of Denison's life is that about
thirty years ago he was playing with Mr..
and Mrs. Bancroft. He had been with the
kendais off and on for ten years, and four
years ago became regular member OF the
company. The dead actor was buried in
Woodlawn Cemetery, October Both. MIR.

"They were good friends" said he. ''but
there is no truth whatever in the statement
of their being engaged. And BESIDES" he
added, she is but Is, while he was more
than 50 years old. The only apparent rea-
sun for MI Denison's suicide was his con-
tinued i'll health. Both Mr.. Kendall and my
self" said Mr.. Riddeli, '.are of the opinion
that Mr.. DenlsOn committed suicide while
in state of temporary alteration OF the

Rankin's "Canuck."

Mckee Rankin, vino has not been with US
since he played the syndicate in the old Cali
fOrnia, will, with good company. appear at
the Bush-streeI Theater this evening in his
characteristic play called The Csnuck." he
assuming the role OF Jean Baptiste Cadeaux,
the old French Canadian. Rankin. who is
native and to the manner born-although he
is British instead Of French in his extrac-
tiOn-plays this character very close TO
nature 1t is a clean and wholesome
presentation of an Angliclzed Franco
Canadian, 80 well managed as to awaken no
prejudice in the heart of either the provin-
cial or the Z" Boston " man, as the Chnooks
call Americansin Canada-on- Pacific. The
play is also remarkable for the rapid
changes made from the pathetic sentiment
to the pathetic. The auditor seems to linger
between tears and sunshine. Rankin has
mastered the French Canadian accent per-
fectly and also the many colloquiaisms which
the average Canuck has introduced into the
English language. The play is well written
aud its construction superior TO the ordinary
run of such pieces.
