TRUST CANNOT BE REVOKED.
Important Decision Affecting Such Matters
in Massachusetts.

Boston, April 2.-The full bench of the
Supreme court this afternoon affirmed
the DEGREES of the single justice. in the
case of Gertrude Talbot Taylor of Haver-
hill VS.. Fred A. Butterick of Lowell,
dismissing the plaintiffs bill, which was
| brought to set aside deed of trust exc
euted in 1898. BY the deed she conveyed
| SIS, 600 in property to the defendant in
trpst, to pay the net income to her
during her lifesand upon her death with
out will, leaving a child or children, to
pay the principal to them; and in case
| she left no child surviving, then the
titled to take the same under the laws of
| this commonwealth. There was no power
OF revocation of the trust reserved to her
| self, and the ground upon which she
| sought to set the deed aside was the al
| legged undue influence of her stspfather,
| Frank p. Putnam, who had been her
| guardian until she became of age; and
upon the further ground of mistake,
both on his part and on hers, as to the
| effect of the deed.
| he court says: In the case at bar it is
expressly found that the plaintiff acted,
freely, intslligently and wisely, and that
| the deed was explained to her. Whether
she understood precisely what the legal
effect Of the deed is unimportant, If she
understood it's contents. No settlement of
n married woman could stand, however
| beneficial to the settler it might be, If she
could have it set aside ON her testimony
| that she did not understand it's legal
effect.

WATCHING FOR DANGER.
Some Incidents of Life On the
Street.

Descending SnowsIides Kept People From
Thinking About the Cuban Question.
Life in Portland was exciting last ev-
ening, more SO than municipal election
in Biddeford in fact. The snow came
down freely all the latter part of the af-
ternoon and up to 9 o'clock in the even
ing, and by that time the trees and
wires seemed formed of silver, the resem-
blance to the white metal being so striking
that several advocates of a strictly fat
currency declined to go out to see the
really beautiful effect produced in SO
short time. 1t was charming bit of
white magic.
But the ordinary man had little time in
which to note the special points of beauty
presented wherever he happened to
glance. The ordinary man was kept too
much engaged for that. He had to watch
snow slides. They: generally managed to
take the passers under by surprise, and
when there was low rumbling sound
overhead, the man on the sidewalk got
ready at once to leave. SgNs
But success in all cases did not follow
we'll meant efforts. One man who sup
posed he was all right owing to the fact
that he had several times avoided Demo-
cratic nom nations in Ward T. was very
confident and will buy new tall hat to-
day. Another man had just observed
Mckinley will be showed under,'
when he gave a sudden start, but too late
to prevent becoming an object lesson
himself.
One young man declined to leave the
sidewalk, but simply bent over, and
when the snow slide weighing a ton or SO
descended, metssit about three feet from
the ground while 1t was still in mid-air
and scattered it for yards around. He
will play on the local foot ball team this
season, and is likely to be credit to the
city
Some people tried the Populist plan
and kept sin the middle of the road"
but the overhead wires and branches of
trees kept up a grim sort of rustling,
not calculated to make nervous party
feel at ease. 1t wasn't the sort of night
to make one recall "the flowers that
bloom in the spring." but it did bring
to mind the thought, "B'gosh, wonder
if my coal will hold ont until the Fourth
of july" One man wasn't surprised.
He is a we'll known after dinner speaker
who never allows himself to be unpre-
pared, and so had copy of Beautiful
Snow" in the pocket where he generally
keeps his extemporaneous speeches.

A LIFE SAVED.
A Return to Happiness and Health
After rlontEls of Weary Pain
Few People Realize What
the Pangs of Dyspep-
STA Signify.

There are very few of the thousands of
dyspeptics who realize exactly the condition
of their systems. They experience pain.
sleeplessness, loss of flesh, extreme irritabil
ity, and resort to anything that will give
them temporary relief until the day which
invariably comes when they succumb to this
dread malady. In case of dyspepsia, the
stomach becoming irritated ceases to perform
its natural functions, the food is not digested
and thus the nourishment which should be
taken from that which we eat fails to be dis
tributed throughout the body, for the pur..
pose of creating new tissue. The blood
becomes impoverished and the patient con-
tinually losing flesh soon reaches the state
where gastric ulcers are formed, which
increase the suffering of the victim. If
death does not soon result from state OF
collapse due to an inability to obtain nourish-
ment, the outcome will be an internal
hemorrhage due to the perforation of one of
the, ulcers. But there is no need for any one
to experience such an end, or in fact, to suf-
fer at all the pangs of indigestion. Kickapoo
Indian Sagwa, the greatest of all remedies
for the liver, kidneys, stomach and blood, is
especially beneficial in this trouble. Thou

WELL DESERVED EuLOGIES.
Massachusetts Law Makers Pay Tribute to
Memory of Gov. Greenhalge.

Boston, April s.-In the Senate this
afternoon, resolutions upon the death of
Ex-Governor Greenhalge were adopted
Speeches were made BY Messrs Pearson,
t9alloupe, Rev, Everett, Dallangton and
Irwin.
Senator Irwin spoke of the many dis
tlnguished traits of the character of Mr..
Greenhalge, and said the browning SER
vice of his life, to the people Of the state
and country, was when he declared that
race prejudice and religious intolerance
had no place in the government of a free
people. He held without hesitation or
questioning that the only test of citizen
ship is fidelity to the state.
Mr.. Dallinger said that Mr.. Greenhalge
was admittedly one of the deepest think
ers, and one Of the most scholarly of all
our public men. In his death the COM
munity in which he lived has lost an
honored and public spirited Citizen the
commonwealth an able, fearless and
conscientious chief magistrate; the nation
statesman of rare promise. He has left
behind him good name, finished
character, a noble example of Christian
manhood, which will live forever.
Senator Everett referred to Governor
Greenhalge's honesty and Christian
virtues, and said: Governor Greenhalge
was magnetic orator, Massachusetts has
had Webster, an Everett, Choate, a
Sumner. but 10 the illustrious galaxy,
Greenhalge will forever shine as star Of
the first magnitude
Mr.. Roe said, Men love those who
have the courage of their convictions,
those who will not trim nor whiffie, but
move straight forward, breast OR back as
either may be, and leave conseQ uences to
care for themselves. Such man was
Governor Greenhalge and his life, all too
brief, must long be cited to the youth of
the old Bay State as glowing illustra-
ton of the possibilities of American
living, the latest addition to the list of
those who. from most untoward oircum-
stances won distinction and success
