One MILLION Dollars Enough.

So eminent jurist as Justice Brown Of
the United States supreme court is in fa-
vor OF limiting legacies 10 million dol
lars to any single individual or institu-
ton. The following is quoted from
lecture by him:
One of the earliest steps In the settle
ment of this country was to abolish the
law of entail and primogenIture, but the
right to leave an enormous fortune by
will to a single child or to one of several
is still recognized by law. With its un-
limited power to dispose Of desendents'
estates, know of no reason why the Leg
islature may not limit the amount which
any single individual may take by gift or
devise. and thus bring about to certain
extent the breaking up of enormous for~
tunes upon the death Of Its owner. Were
this amount, for instance, fixed at ST.
100000 it would compel q man worth
$100 000, 200 to create 100 beneiciaries,
many OF whom would probably be chari-
table institutions, and that too, without
dong injustice to the natural objects Of
his bounty. Probably not 200 estates in
the country would be effected by such
Legislation, but the amount of good which
could be accomplished would be almost
lncalcuahle. Indeed, 1t would remove
the main objection to the growth Of these
large fortuDes-

Accidental Shoe ting.
DAYTON notes in wv. Unior


A case OF accidental shooting by small
boy occurred on Monday afternoon. George
Robinson and Charley Conner were shoot
ing kingtishers in Godman's Park with a
% calIbre Winchester rifle. The gun be-
coming dirty, George went home after
wiping rod, and while he was gone Charley
loaded the gun and returned it to George
without informing Nhim of the fact. In
breaking the gun to clean it, George in
some manner discharged the same, sending
a ball crashing through his playfellow's
head. The ball was % calibre long. 1t
struck the boy on the left side of the mas al
spine, penetrating three full inches and
lodging IN the sphenoid bone. Fortunately
it was too low to penetrate the brain and
trlfie too far to the right to penetrate the
eye, and while the left eye is dilated and
irritated there are hopes that the sight may
be saved. Drs. Day and McLachlan were
called and probed for the ball, but pro-
nounced it impossible to extract it, it being
solidly Imbeided in the bone.

a New Sensation at Rio.

Rio JANEIRo. Feb. ga fresh sensa.
tion was created yesterday by the sum-
mary seizure OF Baitish tug by order Of
Pelxoto. The English friensis of De
Mello AID De Cana, it has been asserted,
have not only given ammunition to the
| insurgent sallors, but have attempted to
supply them with dynamite. The boat
captured by Peixotos men is the tug
Cardit, the property of an English coal
company. 1t arrived here some days ago
| aded with coal. This was discharged
and the tug has since renamed in the
harbor. Soon after che lett the wharf
she was overhauled by one of Pcixoto's
boats and the Brazilian officers went
aboard, despite the vigorous protests Of
the captain. The Card$H was taking dy-
uamite TO the insurgent warshlD Trdjano
The Brazilian officials compelled the
captain To return 10 the whsrf, where the
dynamite was taken ashore and put ID
possession of the government. The mat
ter was reported by the captain to the
British off 'ials. but nothing so far has
been done except cabling he capitals
statement and Peixoio's reasons for max
Ink the seizure to the home government
The action OF Great Britsin over this in
cident is awaited with much interest The
Eng'ish residents here are disposed to
condemn Peixoto, and have grown lndIg
nant over what they term the iii trent.
ment OF the Cardiff's captain; but in ali
other quarters Peixoto is considered IA
jurtiied in doing as he did Outside the
English colony, Great Bntain's prefeuse
about observing neutrality between the |
belIigerents receives little credence, and |
The people canno imagine how she will |
explain so violent breach o. faith with |

his discretion. All civilized nations
agree that previous notice of lombard
ment must be given. The time allowed
is usually 4S hours. 1t is believed the
foreign commanders at RIO will not al
