In the event of the death of said adopted daughter previous to the expiration of IA years, will, devise and bequeath the share she would take if living, to the liv. ing grandchildren of my deceased broth CT, Orville Booth, share and share alike
 The adopted daughter of Delana Brins- made died soon after the decease of the testator.
 It is claimed in behalf of the heirs at law that both the trust to support the an nuities and the reaiduary bequests are in contrayention of the
 COMMON RULE AGAINST PERPETUITIEs.
 The testator died in 1890, shortly after the date of his will, leaving an estate con- sisting mainly of personal property, of the value of over Sl50,0OO, and yielding an annual income of S6OO0. The execu- tor has appealed from the decree remov- ing him from office. He has not settled his administration account, and the date of the final settlement of the estate is un- certain on account of the peudency Of the appeal.
 The testator intended that the adopted daughter of his sister Delana, and the grandchildren of his deceased brother Orville, should ultimately come into pos session and enjoyment of the bulk of his property. His sister was to receive only small annuity, and the widow and chil- dren of Orville were treated iu similar manner. Of the seven grandchildren of Orville, five were miners, the youngest being six years old at

German Political Partics.

We are sure there are those among our
readers who would like to know some
thing about the political parties in the
present imperial German parliament.
This is perhaps especially true since the
dissolution and reelection in conse-
quence Of the emperor's army bill. We
have found list of the parties in the
new German parliament, with the num-
Der Of members belonging to each. We
reproduce it, believing that this list itself
will throw as much light on German
politics as a column of writing would
do. After our acquaintance with the
simple Republican, Democrat, Populist
and Prohibition camps into which our
various political ideas divide us, the Gt--
man list will be rather confusing to the
American mind. No wonder Bismarck
Lost both health and temper keeping
track of them all. Here they are:

SOME one has proposed, and the pro-
posal meets with favor from many
members, that an entirely new COM
mittee, to be called the committee on
coinage and currency, be added to those
existing in the house, and that to it be
referred all bills relating to coinage and
currency. The reason for this proposal
is the constant clashing between the
committee on coinage, weights and
measures and that on banking and cur
rency, as to the reference of bills.
Should the proposal be adopted those
two committees would be less i'm
portant, as the first would deal only
with comparatively insignificant bills
relating to weights and measures and
the latter only with bills relating to
banking. The new committee, if
formed, would rank with the ways and
means and appropriation committees in

THE FIGHT FOR MONEY.
In the East 1t Is Wanted Very,
Very Badly.
CHICAGO BANKERS WANT IT TOO

This Is the Cause of the Clash Between the
New York and the Chicago BANKERS.
Money Brokers In DIsfavor With the
Banks-RecOrd of Financial Troubles.
NEW YORK, Aug. S-The currency fam
inc is assuming a phase which would be
amusing if it were not so desperately seri-
Gus. The banks are incensed against the
currency spectators, and the Fourth Ma
tional sent to Zimmerman & FOrshay, one
of the best known brokerage houses in
Wall street, asking them to withdraw the
account the firm had on deposit with the
national bank.
The firm in question has been the most
prominent in buying with checks the cash
which generally goes into the banks.
At a time when the banks are making
strenuous exertions to supply enough small
bills to their customers who have payrolls
to make up, it angered them to see money
brokers making a large prolific to per
cent-by supplying such funds and cor
nering" the supply of currency aloat to
do it.
This little satirical primer of finance was
issued verbally by a money broker:
premium, what is a standard?
A. A certified check is now the financial
standard of the United States
Q. What is a bank?
A. a place TO put money in.
The humor of this is not so much in evil
dence as its truthful lness.
| To the report that Chicago bankers We're
making an effort to force New York bank
| ers to send money west comes this dis
patch from Chicago:
The officers of the Stockyards' National
bank caused a wild sensation when they
refused to accept New York exchange from
| eastern buyers. The action of the bank
officials was unexpected. and in speaking
| OF the matter President Doud said:
We took limited amount of New
York paper today, but refused consider
able because of not being able to sell New
York exchange in the city. We said last
| week that affairs were liable to come to
this point. 1t is not right to allow funds
| to be locked up in the east"

WATERBURY CONN.

SPEAKER CRISP is losing no time and
Just as soon as he can get the committee
assignments completed he will announce
them, but there is not much probability
that they will be earlier than next week.
The proposition has been made that Mr.
Crisp follow the example set by Presi-
dent Cleveland, in announcing the
members of his cabinet as fast as they
were selected, and announce the COM
mittees as fast as they are made up, so
that they may get to work on the bills as
fast as they are introduced; but the sug-
gestion is hardly practicable. There is
so much dove-tailing necessary in as
signing the members to committees that
committees are all practically made up
at about the same time.
