THE MAUI Shy ESTATE
Judgment oflfthe Lower Court Reversed
I Higher Body.
Some Hope Aor dhe Home for Destitute
Women-s0piDion Of the Court
S0f Appeals.

The Court OF Appeals, in an opinion filed
late yesterday afternoon, reverses the judg-
ment Of the lower court in the matter of
the estate Of the late Anna M. Maulsby,
who died July 80. 1892. She left will
dated November 30, 1886. and letters OF adj
ministration were granted to Louisa D.
Lovett and Ida Corson, nieces. A letter
was addressed by the testatrix to her sis
tiers, Emma L. Breese and Charlotte Bost-
wick. The former having died, the latter
declined to servo as executrix.
In the letter above mentioned Mrs. Mauls-
by expressed the desire that q memorial to
her mother, in the shape Of a home for
destitute women, to be placed in charge Of
st. johns Church, and situated on Kalo-
rama Heights, be constructed. Ida Cor
son, with Vestryman, was to act as truS-
tee, and $4,000 was set aside for the object.
The letter was not admitted to probate
as part of the will, and petition filed by
consideration Of the matter was also re-
fused. The Court of Appeals holds that
the letter should have been admitted to
probate. But the court also holds that "it
Will remain for a court of construction to
determine whether the charity therein pro-
vided for Is of such legal validity as to be
capable of enforcement"
The court also says that while the Vestry
may not have legal interest in the sub
ject-natter, 1t clearly has such parochial
interest in the charity placed in it's charge
as to entitle it to bring the instrument to
the attention of the court and ask its adj
mission"
The case was therefore remanded for
further proceedings.

THE MORTON CADETS.
Its Drill Team Put Up a Splendid Ex-

That tn, Morton Cadets ere popular was
thoroughly attested last evening when sew
eral thousand persons gathered in Conven-
ton Hall to witness an exhibition drill by
the youngsters prior to their departure for
the Savannah interstate Grill. Pretty girls
were very much in evidence, and when the
drill team, wearing the neat company black
fatigue uniform, put in an appearance a
continued round of applause greeted 1t.
Headed by the Second Regiment Band, the
team marched around the hall several
times, and then for half all hour or more
gave the spectators an expert interpreta-
ton of the drill regulations in the school
of the company. The drill was very nearly
perfect in every respect and was revela-
ton to the majority of those who saw it.
Although handicapped by a waxed and
polished floor, the Mortons went through
the movements in double time as creditably
as though on turf, and the unanimous opin-
ion wa that the company will have no diff
ficulty in bestfng all competitors at Savan-
nah next week. ss"W i.er ftsr

Study of Ears.

The Anthropologfcal Society listened last
night to an interesting lecture by DR.. Dana
s. Lamb on the subject of Ears and one
by Colonel Charles Allen on Ways of
Identifying Deserters and Criminals in the
Army. Both papers were illustrated and
were replete with statistics and examples.
DR.. Lamb spoke of the. ear as an index
Of character, yet denied that the extended
ear was an indication of criminality. A
child sleeping habitual1y on one. side, he
said, might effect the shape of the ear on
that side, causing 1t to grow nearer the
head Head dress also had it's effect in
some countries on the shape ard growth

animals is a constant habit employed to
give warning of danger, is lost in man, ac-
cording to Darwin, yet many people the
speaker said, had this power in remark
able degree There followed the lecture a
general discussion of the lobe of the ear
and its size and variation in art.

Uns..rdea Grade Crossings.


While driving this afternoon I approached
the II street crossing of the Metropolitan
branch, about 4:ao. from the west. have
learnt caution by driving a great deal in
country districts, where guarded crossings
are rot taken as a matter Of course, and,
seeing no gaten1an or gates, stopped within
q hundred feet Of the tracks to listen for a
train. Freight cars completely shut out the
view on each side. but as neither the lady
with me. nor the eoachman behind, nor my
self heard any sound, we decided to take
our chances. The horses had Just started
when an incoming express train, running
perfectly noiselessly. glided by. If the horses
had had time to get up any speed I could
not have stopped again In time. No bell was
rung by the train, nor any precaution Of
any sort or kind taken by the railroad COM
pany to avoid an accident. Where an acci-
dent does happen the victims are usually
unable to tell the story. and the railroad is
able to place large part Of the blame on
their negligence. I, therefore. consider IT
