Widows Rights Affected.
(Oxford Democrat. }

We learn that Hon. George A. Wilson OF
South Paris, our able judge of probate
while examining the statutes in the
preparation of his new work on probate
law, made the rather surprising discovery
that the Legislature of 1895 had entirely
wiped out all rights OF a widow in the
real estate Of her husband in the case of
insolvent estates, or of insolvcnt estates
where the real estate was nearly, if not
quite, absorbed in the payment of debts
We say surprising, because the statute
has undoubtedly been examined by hun
dreds and no one else up to the present
time seems to have noticed it,
The mistake, for it is of course q mis-
take, arose in abolishng the widow S
right of dover and substituting therefor
a right and interest by descent The in
tention was TO increase the widows right
from life interest to a fee simple; but in
50 doing the clause granting to her the
right of Inheritance was placed with all
Others Of this nature after the clause
Subject to the payment Of debts If
there are no debts, it Is all right she
| takes the share of her husbands real
estate which was intended for her II
| there are any debts they must be paid
| first and if the debts absorb all the real
estate she has no interest in it left.
| The fortunate part of 1t is that, as to
all persons who were married before Nav
| /, 1895. the law does not take effect until
Jan. /, 1897, and IL the legislature rene
dis the error as soon as it meets, ii will
only he persons married since May /,
1895, who will be affected by it. except
for the time that may elapse between
Jan /, 1897, and the change OF the time
when the law applies to everyone This
time will not probably exceed eight or ten
days, but there are possibilities within
that brief period that are not pleasant tc
| contemplate.

Mat tiers are SO conducted that the big
brewers and the whiskey trust own the
saloon keeper of the large city body aud

New York World considers that the cur
rent estimate that forty per cent of the

obligation to the brewers is too high
Taking all mortgages, great and small
into account, 1t reached the conclusion
that the number of saloon keepers who
