THE PROBATE BLANKS.
An Explanation in Regard to the so-called
Expense.
To the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
The item in the PRESS on Monday
under the head of "Will be an expens i've
Job, perhaps requires some criticism.
The ex-judge of probate who estimates
the expense of the commission created
by the last legislature to provide uniform
blanks and rules for the courts of pro-
bate and insolvency at 500, 600, and the
parties, who after looking into the mat
ter confesses his estimates ought to have
given the public bill of particulars
The estimate of the expense to be just to
the legislature should not include the
printing of the blanks which are to be
are prepared by the commission and
adopted by the Supreme court, because
they do not become obligatory on any
countE until after two years within
which time the supply of blanks would
ordinarially be exhausted, and it would
cost no more to print blanks of the new
form than of the old. The new blanks
will not Immediately supplant the old
ones under this plan, but as rapidly as
the old blanks are exhausted and old
form blanks books filled the blanks and
books then printed and bound will be of
the new print In this way the cost of
keeping the office supply of blanks good
cannot be increased and uniformity will
be secured. The expense of the work of
the commission cannot very fairly be es-
timated by any one. 1t ought to be as
sumed that the interest of the state will
be carefully considered. They have worked
when in session atleast ten hours day.
The legal profession constantly realize
that it requires time to prepare these
blanks in view of the confusion of our
statues relating to probate proceedings,
and especially in view of the diverse con
struction of them in different courts of
the state, but the commission is harmo-
nious and their work will be done in sea-
son to be submitted to the Supreme court
at the Law term in July, and judge
of probate who has served in that office
fifteen years, believes that the estimate
of $10O,000 should be reduced about
ninety five per cent. 1t must be remem-
bered that this is not to be an immediate
change; that it was specially arranged
that it might be accomplished in way
to avoid just that trouble and expense.

DEERING.

The entertainment given in City Hall,
Woodfords, June 9th, by Miss Agnes M.
Stafford and her pupils assisted by the
Cecilian Quartette, besides giving the
people of Deering the pleasure of listen
ing to an entertainment of very high
order, was perfect success in financial
way. The amount taken being more
than $3.50 which after paying expenses
netted very handsome sum to the build
ing fund of Woodfords Congregational
church. Miss Stafford having very gen
erously turned over the entire amount to
the Ladies' Circle to be used towards
paying the: debt on their beautiful house
of worship. Miss Safford's noble gener-
osity is fully appreciated by the ladies and
all connected with the, society.
There were couple of horse escapades
at Woodfords, yesterday forenoon, that
might have been worse than they were.
Mr. Hugh Cobb's meat cart was stand
ing in front of Doten's grocery store, to-
gether with the team of man named
Babbidge, from Yarmouth The horse of
the latter started and locked wheels with
the meat cart. Then the two horses ran
away together The meat cart was tipped
over and badly broken. The horses were
soon stopped.
Mr.. Norris Files, of Deering Center
was driving out with load of lumber
When he stopped at the drinking fountain
at the head of Ocean street, the boards
projecting in front, struck the horse on
the rump and it ran away. Mr. Files
was holding lawn mower on top of the
lumber with one hand and couldn't steer
the horse very well with the other. The
team struck the Maine Central tracks in
such slanting direction that one rear
wheel went down into the rut between
the planks and was torn off. The lumber
came down on the ground and it's weight
stopped the horse without further dam
age.

SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.

The following rescript was sent down
yesterday:
ANDROSCOGGIN COUNTY.
Peter Gilroy, petitioner for naturaliza-
tion.
Rescript by Wiswell, J.-There is no
provision of the federal constitution
which requires the courts or judges of a
state to perform any duties respecting
the admission of aliens to citizenship.
Such courts and magistrates may if they
choose exercise the power conferred upon
them by Congress, unless prohibited by
state legislation. But this is a naked
power, and imposes no legal obligations
on the courts to assume and exercise
them.
Chapter 80, laws OF 1893, which pro-
hibits any court established by this state,
other than the Supreme Judicial and Su.
perior courts, from entertaining any juris-
diction over the naturalization of aliens
is not in violation of any provision OF
the contitution of the United States.
Exceptions overruled.
