II Baby Whaley, whose precocious
desires, In the opinion of his guardian,
1t will require e5, 900 a year 10 satisfy,
is not tolerably reasonable In his in
fantile demands he will many time cry
himself to sleep unsatisfied. as any ordi-
nary baby might do who hasn't a fortune
of 5000, 900 waiting for him. Referee
Willis has decided that even $500, 900
baby ought to be reared in reasonable
comfort on S3, $50 year until he is IA
years old. II the supreme court con-
firms the decision that must be the
limit of expenditure which his guardian,
Marie w. Chisholm, will be allowed to
use in bringing up Francis NJ. Whaley,
who is Q years old. The allowance
would have been considerably less but
for the fact that the malarial climate
of Edisto island, off the Carolina coast,
where Mrs. Chisholm lives, makes it
necessary that she should seek north
ern summer resort for the child's bene-
fit during four or five months Of the
year. The referee finds regarding the
essential circumstances OF the case:
"Prior to the death of the mother Of
the child he lived with his parents at
80 West Washington square, New York,
and was surrounded by all the comforts
and Injuries that their high social posi-
ton and wealth warranted. Edisto
island, the residence of the guardian. d
a region subject to certain serious ma
larial disorders during the summer sea-
son. Strangers and Others coming
from other parts Of the country remain
ing at that season are especially liable
to contract such disorders, and it is
therefore dangerous for such persons to
remain there during the time from the
first of June until the first frost, which
occurs ordinarily during the month OF
November.
Mrs Chisholm and her husband
have long lived there, and being
thoroughly acclimated it has been their
custom to remain during the entire
year. With the infant coming from q
totally different climate at the north it
is wholly different matter. For him
to remain during the summer season
would be extremely dangerous and like
ly to result in his illness from the causes
named. For that reason it will be
proper and necessary for Mrs. Chisholm
and the infant to proceed every sum
mer to some other more healthful re-
Sion, and to remain away until the
coming of frost renders it safe to take
the infant back to Edisto island. The
necessity for such travel and residence
away from home will occasion consider
able expense to Mrs Chisholm.
Mrs. Chisholm has cared for the In
FAINT since Oct. 10, 1889, the date of his
mothers death, out of her own means,
and with the exception of recent pay
ment of $500 by order of court she has
not been reimbursed"
The referee therefore is of opinion
that Mrs. Chisholm is suitable person
to be appointed as the temporary guar
dian of the child until he arrives at the
age of IA years, and that So, $50 is a
suitable yearly allowance to make for
the support, maintenance and educa-
ton of the child. The referee also rec
ommends that the sum of 81, 1874 be
awards to Mrs. Chisholm for expenses
up to date in the care of the infant. -
