JOHN HERRON'S ESTATE
IT'S SETTLEMENT ONLY AWAITS AN
ORDER OF EHE COURT.
Art Association VIII Get About 1885,
OOO-COntest of the Will Is Prac-
txcalIy Dropped.

The estate of the late John Heron, who
bequeathed the bulk of his wealth to the
Indianapolis Art Association. is almost
ready for settlement and only awaits an
order of the court. Mr. Heron died in
May. 1895. and left an estate valued at about
$235,0OO. He left neither wife, children.
brothers nor sisters. his nearest relatives
being second cousins Some of these lived
in Indiana, and they were given sums of
$500 each. Many distant relatives lived in
the East and in England, but they were not
remembered To the Indianapolis Orphan
Asylum $1,000 was left, and a like amount
was bequeathed to the Katherine Home and
to the Free Kindergarten. The sum total
of the small requests did not cut down the
residuary legacy below $23O,OOO all of which
goes to the Art Association under the
terms of the will. OF this sum about 500 600
was in cash and convertible paper, and
$4,000 was in real estate. The executor of
the estate A. p. Stanton, has converted
about $4,000 worth of the real estate into
cash. and will shortly dispose of the re-
nainder. All the minor requests have been
settled.
AT the time the will was made known it
was said that some of the small legatees
would bring suit to set aside the WILL but
they have since come in and accepted the
amounts granted them. One suit was fled
however, by Emma Harrison, of Mount
Carmel, Franklin county, Indiana. Her
father was a second cousin to the deceased.
She brought suit in the Circuit Court to
have the will set aside. alleging undue in
huence. Judge Brown was on the bench
then, and he declined to admit the case
until the plaintiff should file bond to
cover the costs. This the plaintiff was un-
able to do. She, however, questioned the cor
RICHNESS of Judge Browns ruling and APP
pealed to the Supreme Court, where the
ruling was affirmed and the plaintiff re-
CURED to furnish cost bond within thirty
days. There is a provision in the statutes
providing for suits by poor persons without
cost bonds, but it is plainly stated that in
a case where it is attempted to set aside
a will bond must be given.
Mrs. Harrison was unable to give the
bond, and the case never came to trial.
Denny & Mcbride are attorneys for Mrs.
Harrison. They said yesterday that the
suit might be filed again if Mrs. Harrison
could find a bondsman. This must be done
before next May, if it is done at all, for
then the three years in which such suits
may be filed will have expired, and the
court will order the distribution of the es-
tate.

AMONG THE CHURCHES.
Sermons on the Queens Jubilee
Preached Here.

At the Vermont Avenue Christian Church,
last evening, the pastor, Rev. F. d. Power,
preached an able discourse appropriate to
the celebration of Queen Victoria's jubilee.
In the course of his sermon he said:
"To speak of the progress of her empire
in these three score years would be to write
largely the history of civilization. 1t is a
marvellous story, the growth of the Eng
disappearing people. the increase in popu-
lation, in territory, in commerce, in manu-
facture, in wealth, in steam power and
electricity, in education. in civil and re-
ligious freedom, In the elevation Of the
working classes, the protection of children
and the advancement of woman in the arts
and sciences, in faith and spirituality and
practical religion, in the gift of Christiani-
ty to the unawakened millions, in every
thing that makes a great nation. The ratio

all may sing with the voice which belts

for the occasdon, and the sermon touched

pipes. TIE steps are very intricate and
difficult, and there are said to be as many
as one hundred and twenty-nine different
ones. A reel has no end, and may go on as
long as the pipers care to play, and this
went on and on till 1t seemed as II the
dancers must give up. but they kept On
bravely till the music stopped, giving the
short, sharp cry, which is exactly the same
that the Indians give when dancing a war
dance.
At II o'clock the band played God Save

another garden party Of very different
KIND was given the next day. This was
one for the poor children of the Cannon
gate, and one could hardly help contrast
ing the gay company assembled at the first
with these children. and feeling grateful to
Lazy Tweedale for bringing for one day
even. SO much pleasure into the lives of
these little ones.
Happy Children.
The children are selected solely for their
poverty by the minister of the Cannongate
parish. The event made a great stir in
the wynds and closes of the ancient burgh.
and when it became known the house of
the reverend gentleman was besieged by
boys and girls, anxious to receive a ticket
OF invitation. They had often seen the
commissioners carriage pass their DOORS
and now they felt that they themselves
were of some importance, since they were
to be invited to the palace. At O'Clock
they assembled at the cross, and marched,
-FOUR deep, to the music of the Boys Indus
trial School Band, to the gates of Holy
rood, where they were received by the
nigh commissioner. Lady Tweedale and
their suite. Many of them were barefoot,
but all looked wonderfully clean and neat
and the picture Of happiness. AS they
passed their host and hostess they gave
tremendous cheer and waved their hats
and handkerchiefs. When they had all
found seats on the grass four pipers danced
a sword dance and a sailor a hornpipe for
their amusement. Then they played games
and ran races for prizes, and finally they
were marched to the marquie for refresh
ments, where they were waited on by the
liveried and powdered footmen, who were
a great source of interest and amusement
TO them. Before they went home each of
the children was given toy Of some sort
and bag of cakes, oranges and candy.
Needless to say, they all left delighted
with their party, which was, without any
doubt. great success. This ended the
weeks festivities at Holyrood, and when l
passed a day or two later, the curtains
were down, the flags gone, and all signs of
the gaiety of the week before had van
ished. MARIAN PIATT.

Mr.. ShOemaker's Plan for State Build
1nEs Com me nded

Mr.. Shoemaker Plan for State Build
fnEs Commended.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
have read with much pleasure and in
terest the several articles in your paper
over the name of Mr.. Louis P. Shoemaker
upon the matter of improvement of our
great park on the historic Rock creek Now
1t does seem to me that these suggestions
of Mr.. Shoemaker are not only timely and
appropriate, but that the public of this
District and county might lend us their
potent aid in the furtherance of this mat
ter, and through the press the people and
Congress should be forced to a patriotic
sense of their duty in identifying and
making available this naturally romantic
ana picturesque section of the District.
think the suggestion of Mr.. Shoemaker as
regards the state buildings is most COM
mendable, and recalls the efforts made by
our citizens when asking for the Columbian
fair to be held here, ii being the desire
then to make the buildings permanent, and
having them remain as a public exhibit of
the history. products and art of the several
states of the Union. l doubt not that the
states would be glad and proud of the on
portunity to have a home at the seat of
government wherein they could keep per
manently on exhibit the products of
their mines and manufactures. Certainly
it would excite a laudable ambition among
the trades and arts of individual excel
lence, and profitable medium of ac.uat-
Ing individual enterprise. 1t does seem
strange that We should show so little inter
est in the identifying of this our only
great park as people, and also that mem
bers Of Congress should take so little inter
est in these things which speak of patriot
ism and love of country. l hope you will
see your way clear to lead off in this mat
Ter, and induce your brother editors to do
likewise, as you have always been the
brave champion of the peoples interest in
this District. and among the first to call
Tor those improvements which are demand
ed by the citizens, and in the line of beau
tlfyfng this the capital of the nation seems
put natural that We should look to you now
