Life.
By Edward ]. O'Reilly.
What is life?

What is life?
A fated being sent from God
TO tread the path his fathers trod.
To toll for gold, perchance In vain,
With heated brow and hurried brain,
And, dying, all forgotten, go
To the deep shades of death below.
With darkness rife?

What. is life?

A war with all of human breath
flushed only by the conq'ror Death!-
Ambition, honor, glory's dreams,
Are Swallowed with deceptive names
Even loves a mockery of life
IT'S strife-au strife.

QUEENS COUNTY.

Margaret Hanlon had died in April,
1893, leaving will in which a number
of small legacies were bequeathed. Be
fore her death she had sold farm, of
which she was tenant for life, to James
Phelan, and an assignment Of the fee
simple was made to him for $3.50. When
she died ESQ was found under her pill
low, and she had some more money on
deposit receipt. Father Knaresboro,
without taking out probate, distributed
the assets among the legatees. The re-
suit was that proceedings were taken
against James Phelan for possession OF
the farm, and he was dispossessed. Phe-
Ian took proceedings in the probate
court to compel Father Knaresboro to
take out probate, and having done so, he
served writ on Father Knaresboro, as
executor of Margaret Hanlon, deceased,
for loss and damage sustained by the
sale by her to him, as fee-simple prop
erty, of the farm of which she was only
a tenant for life. He obtained judg-
ment for f374. Father Knaresboro took
proceedings against the legatees to re-
cover their share Of the assets, which he
had distributed. among them, and Sue
ceeded in getting f10O, which he brought
into court. An account was taken OF the
assets and debts of the deceased Marga-
ret Hanlon, with the result that ETH was
found to be due to Margaret Phelan, as
widow of James Phelan, by Father
Knaresboro as executor of Margaret
Hanlon. There were some negotiations
as to settlement, but they were unsuc-
cessful. The judge made an order for
the commlttal of Father Knaresboro for
contempt of court, but put stay OF one
month on the execution of the writ, in
case Of settlement.

At the last meeting of the Boyle town
commissioners a communication was re-
ceived from the local government board
declining to sanction the application OF
the commissioners for a loan of fl 500
for the purpose of providing an electric
light supply for the town, on the ground
that they the town commissioners
were not the sanitary authority. After
considerable discussion the following
resolution was adopted, with one dis
sentient: "That, owing to the sanitary
condition of the township being in a
very bad state, at the present time, and
for some years past, and the danger
thereby caused to the public health, and
believing that this state of things will
continue under the present board of
guardians, it is hereby resolved that the
local government board be requested to
dissovle them in as far as they consti-
tute the urban sanitary authority, and
appoint our body as such instead"
