more than sixteen years, since April 10,
1876, but contests over his will and for
his millions are still in progress. Gen.

first cousin of the late A T. Stewart,

OF the famous estate. Judge Hilton has
spent considerable portion of the in.
come of the estate in fighting claimants,
nearly all of which has gone into the
hands of the attorneys who were his
legal representatives.

COLLEGE WOMEN.
They Prefer Studies That Men Are Beg

They Prefer Studies That Men Are Begin
ming to Neglect.
1t is curious to note that the form of
education which women seem Just now
most anxious to obtain is almost purely
literary. At a time when men are loud
ly complaining that Oxford and Cam
bridge have almost cut themselves off
from the active life of the country, and
that by neglecting the practical study of
law, medicine, surgery and technical
production they have resolved them
selves into what would be called at a
Continental university a gigantic Fac
ulty OF Arts women are crOwding to
these discredited institutions and eager
ly taking up the abandoned "arts,'' as
the latest and most complete form of in
tellectual life open to them. While men
are beginning to assert that they can no
longer afford the luxury of a university
education, that they must leave that
either to the men of leisure or the fu-
ture schoolmasters and teachers, women
turn to it as perhaps the most practical
opening left to them. Perhaps they are
right. 1t is not impossible that in time
women's hands may have great share
in the higher secretarial and educational
work of the country. But there is no
form of opinion more fuctuating than
the views of women as to their place
and possibilities in life.
The change uOf ideal from that of
household usefulness at the end of the
last century to elegant usefulness at the
beginning of the present century has
been succeeded by a strong bias towards
literature and culture. 1t is not impos-
sible that this may in turn be replaced
by an experiment in women's capabili-
ties in the technical instruction which
is coming on as the practical balance to
the literary activity of the last few
years. Some of the most fascinating.
and not the least remunerative. of the
minor arts, sucA as wood carving, de-
signing and house decoration, are
already Taught with singular success by
women, and the demand of the county
councils for lady instructors in house
hold management, and even in scientific
dairywork, has already outstripped the
available supply. Here, then, is fresh
opening for women's intellects when
the literary neld becomes too crowded,
which h;s in it's favor that it tends to
place women once more in control of
the comforts and conveniences as well
as of the social elegance of daily life
