OLD WILLS.
SOME PECULIAR DOCUMENTS IN THE
PROBATE OFFICE.
Striking Similarity in Composltion-one
Man Bequeaths His Earthly Goods TO
Himself

Striking Similarity in Composition-one
Man Bequeaths His Earthly Goods TO
Himself.
The records in the court house disclose
some very novel and peculiar pieces OF
composition. Abcut the most interesting
are found In the probate office In the
volumes containing the records OF Wills.
Some OF these books are about as good
reading as Mark Twain novel OF BIZ
Nye letter.
There is quite similarity ip the manner
of starting the wills, the prevailing plan
being something like the following: In
the name of the Benevolent Father OF oil,
/, John Smith, frail Of body but OF sound
and dispoHing mind, do hereby make and
publish my last will and testament"
This idea given with variations In the
style OF expression is quite popular and
perhaps even more used than the more
simple and terse form, largely utiliz'd,
which runs something like this: ~, Peter
Jones, of the County of Stark DO hereby
make and publish my last will and !estaS
meni as follows:"
Occasionally will maker will branch
out with something more elaborate, and a
case in point is an old will made In 1891
by John Causby Of Virginia, and recorded
In volume B in the probate office here,
The will starts out as follows: 10 the
name of God, amen, l, John Censby, Son ,
being in perfect mind aud memory,
(yhanks be to God for it) calling to mind
the maturity OF the body, and knowing 1t
is appointed for all men to die, do make
and ordain my last will and testament:
Principally and first Of all do recotnmend
my spirit into the hands of Almighty God,
aud have a lively hops 'hSt he will receive
10 90 him self.n
The testator then gnes on to dispose Of
hls worldly goods, and he villa that his
son Dency shall be gwen htS freedom and
sent to free state.
In 1887 will was flled which started
out as follows: II give and btqueath
unto my beloved wife after my dcceasc all
of my real estate and personal propsrty.
Should my wife die before me, Ihgn
shall hold all of the same until my de-
cease.n
One rather odd testament reads: II
give and bt questh to my stfectonate wife
all of my property, to be held by Ler as
long as she remainA my
widow, but should she ever
marry, land God forbid that should
desire that she do mol, then she shall
have only her dover in the property

Throughout a long term Of years and
subject Congress has. again and again, au-
thorized compilations and revtsfons and
co@iifoations by commissions of that hete-
rogeneous compound of statutory endeavor
called by courtesy District law. and yet
there Is no code. not even a revision, that
has been declared to be law by Congress.
The commissions appointed to do the pre-
hminary work have performed their duty
well, but Congress has never made legisla-
tive use of the lslbors Of it's agents. Sue
cessive Congresses have thought that they
performed their duty in this matter toward
the District by Sinking the task Of legisla-
ton on the basis of revisions and codes
already made and by appointing a new
commission to do more revising and codify
ing. and to be subjected to the same neglect
of its completed work that its predecessors
suffered. The article on previous efforts
to secure a revision or codfhcatfon Of the
District laws which Is printed elsewhere
In todays Star shows that Congress now
has In It's possession or soon will have all
the necessary information concerning the
statutes by which the people OF the District
OF Columbia are, more or less governed
Let Congress now make use of the Informal
ZION nnoulderfng on the congressional
files, and of the report of the revising COM
mission appointed in 1889. which Is soon
The Star hopes, TO be submitted Legisla-
don In the shape of the enactment of re-
vised statutes or of code for the District
- what is now needed. The matter should
not be pigeon holed by the appointment Of
another commission.
