1T is illustrative OF the slow processes of
the law that the estate of the late Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens. of Lancaster. Pa, who
died in August, 1863 is not yet settled. 1t
is but fair to say. however. that it has not
been squandered. The estate originally
amounted to Sl16.G63 and increased. in
the hands of the executors TO S14S.-

paying certain requests. there was residue
of $4,000. it should be devoted to the
founding of home In Lancaster for indl-
gent orphan children. regardless of race.

by the cours to pass upon claims and make

ported balance of S50,6S7. This finding,
which is virtually in favor of the orphans

did not reach $4,000 without accrued in
terest, the orphans home bequest was
void, and that they were heirs to the es-
tate. The case will probably go to the
United States Supreme Court. 1t looks IS
if the executors had been playing for time
in order that the accruing interest might
bring the balance above $4,000. and thus
secure it for local charity.

THE CITY CHARTER.
An Abstract of Each Section to
be Continued to the End.

AS the new charter for the govern
ment of cities of the third class,
to which Frankfort belongs, is a
matter of great Importance to the
voters and the prospective candidates
for the various offices required to be
voted for at the next November
election, a full abstract of the pro-
visions of each section will be pub
lished in the ROUNDABOUT each week
until the end is reached. All citi-
zens ought to know something about
the form of government under which
they live in the city, and reliable
abstract for general readers is more
likely to claim their attention than
a lengthy and phrase-repeating docu-
ment necessary for lawyers only.
The following is the first installment:
Sec. 1. Continues the corporate linn
its and rights of cities of the third
class.
Sec. 2. Each of said cities shall
have the right to sue, contract, etc.,
and to hold and acquire property and

departnents--the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial.
Sec. 4. The legislative powers sh all
be vested in a board styled the
common council"
Sec, 8. Provides the qualifications
of councilman-a resident of city

year, a free holder not under twenty
four years Of age and not interested
in any contract or holding any fran
chise or contract with the city.
Sec. 6. The qualifications and eligi-
bility of members shall be determin-
ed by the common council.
Sec. Z. Disqualification if increas-
ed after the election, shall likewise
be ascertained and declared and the
office vacated.
Sec, s. Upon pain Of expulsion,
member shall not vote on any matter
pending or proposed before the coun-
Gil who has a private or personal in
terest in the measure.
The Frankfort roundabout. [volume] (Frankfort, Ky.) 1882-1908, 1893-07-22

Sec. 8. The board shall consist of
twelve members, who shall enter
upon their duties the first Monday in
December after their election and
hold office for two years. They shall
be apportioned equally among the
wards and be voted for by all the

proportionate number of candidates
reside in any one ward, then the APP
portioned number receiving the high
est votes of the city at large shall
alone be eligible.
| Sec. 10. Not less than seven mem
bers shall constitute quorum.
| Sec. IL. The council shall determine
it's own rules and punish by fine, sus-

ance or improper conduct of men,

the attendance Of persons or pro-
duction of books or papers before
the council or a committee, and by
resolution enforce obedience by fines
and forfeitures.
Sec. 10. A complete journal of the
council proceedings shall be kept

or more newspapers in the city. All
ordinances may likewise be pub
lished, but the failure to publish shall
not affect the validity of an ordi-
nance.

all questions viva voce, but on the
request of any member the yeas and
nays shall be called and entered upon
the journal.
Sec. 10 Two regular meetings shall

or liability of any individual or cor
poration to the city.

anyone from taxation, nor refund

paper; and then in not less than
thirty days after the passage of the
ordinance, if no petition is fled in
the circuit court, the council may, by
ordinance, annex to the city the
territory described, or reduce the
limits, as the case may be.
If one or more residents or free
holders of the territory proposed to
b annexed or stricken off file a petit
tion in the circuit court opposing the
purpose of the council, summons
lsll issue thereon upon the Mayor
or members of the council, and the
case shall be tried as an equity cause,
but without the Intervention of a
jury. If the court find that less than
one-fourth of the freeholders Of the
territory to be annexed or stricken
off have demonstrated and that the
adding to or striking off of such
territory will be of interest and
cause no manifest injury to the own
ers of the property therein located, a
judgment shall accordingly be rem
dered in favor of the annexation or
striking off. If the court find
that more than one-fourth have re-
monstrated then such annexation or
reduction shall not take place, unless
the court shall find from the evidence
that a failure to annex or strike off
will materially retard the prosperity
of such city and of the property own
ers within the described limits.
There shall be no appeal and no
change of venue. If the Judgment
be adverse to annexation or reduction
no further attempt to carry the plan
into effect shall be made within the
two years after the Judgment has
been rendered. If any city be an
neXed to another, the city so annex
ing shall be bound for all debts and
liabilities and shall be the owner of
all corporate property, franchises and
rights of the city so annexed.
Sec. 81. Once in every five years
the council may have a map made of
the streets, alleys, blocks and lots in
the city and the name and owner of
each lot, which shall be competent
evidence in any and all courts.
Sec. %. The council may once in
every five years have all the ordi-
nances of general nature then in
force printed, indexed, bound and
published, which. shall be competent
evidence in any and all courts.

cate the opposite, and [ have made up
my mind that il any man wants water he
can get it. There is plenty Of it here in
the lakes, streams, under ground and
enough falls from above for most
every one except the very thirsty.
When irrigation is brought up | am
reminded OF New England pastor who
lived in a rich district; he exchanged pull
pits with brother who lived on the sea
coast in rather poor, sandy place.
When he reached the church some Of the
members asked him TO pray for rain,
which was much needed. In his prayer
he said "Oh Lord, / am requested TO
pray for rain, but thou, o Lord, knowest
that the great need OF this land is dress
ing" Now that is just what our lands
need. 1t needs dressing; dressings early
and dressings late. Make the land fat
and the trees will keep fat; resist the cold
blizzards of winter and the hot sun of the
the dry spring. They will overcome the
attack of insects. The heavy foliage will
protect a large per cent. OF its oranges in
a freeze.
In your grove let your dressings be for
orange trees and Motor the hungry pines
and oaks, move them out of the way.
They are but robbers CT the soil when in a
grove. Make your trees large enough to
protect themselves without the aid Of
oaks and pines.
Last year the county statistics gave
an average of about fifty boxes per acre
for the bearing groves of Orange county,
and their value on the trees was about
Is cents or $3.50 per acre (if my recol
lection serves me right, as have lost the
paper). Now, near here is grove that
last year gave 1000 boxes per acre. This
grove receives plenty of dressing, and
gives a bOuntiful yield of fruit and shows
to what extent the production of a grove
can be carried by dressing. There is a
big gap between an average OF fifty
boxes and possible limit OF 1000.
"Thou, O Lord, knOwest that the great
need of this soil is dressing."

Prevention of Wood BOrers.

enquired in our columns for cure for
wood borers. Said that the pesky things
had got into the poles OF his green house
and threatened to demOlish.
Mr.. V. Daubers, of Winnemissett. writes
that if Mr.. Brancher will put his poles
out from the stand, at the top, the borer
will soon disappear. He also says that
it is better to cut the timber for poles in
winter.

Soil polluted with these will certainly

that at one year from planting, ii it is a

realized; perhaps 500 pounds Or more,

double that amount may be reasonably

He also advises two stalks to the hill.

numerous, and yet it is the rarest thing
to find more than two eyes on a stalk OF

however, are abundant, let two or three

by it that | can see.
He further says that 'the roots are
large enough to be protitably fed by the
first OF October" This should regard
