THE H0LT ESTATE
0ne-half 0rdersd Divided Among Heirs-at-
Law.
Court Of Appsssis Overru1es the Lowe,
COurt-A1isb Hynes' Interests
Tbibnsferred.

The Court Of Appeals, in decision writ
ten by Mr.. Chiea Justice Alvey. decided yes
terday afternconnthat the administrator of
the estate of the slate Judge Advocate Gen
eral Joseph Holt, the National Safe De-
pesit. Savings and Trust Company, may
distribute TO his heirs-at-law one-half of
the estate, the portion devised and be-
queathed to Miss Elizabeth Hynes of Ken
lucky, by the provisions of the alleged will
of February I, 1873
The will, 1t will be remembered, was de-
clared by a, jury last June not to be Judge
Hoits, whereupon Miss Hynes and her CO.
beneficiary, Miss Josephine Holt Throck-
morton, and Executor Luke Devlin, noted
an appeal. Subsequently, because of a valu-
aDie considerable paid her by the heirs-at-
law, MISS Hynes withdrew her appeal. and
assigned TO them all her interest in and to
ehe estate under the so-called will. There
upon, the heirs-at-Iaw asked the Probate
Souft tosdirect the administrator of the
estate to pay them Miss Hynes' portion,
less $lo,oO to meet her proportion of GER
cut the administrator objected, and the
froDate Court sustained the objection
holding that the will contest was not only
unsettled. but that there might be another
will.
in reversing that order and remanding
the case for distribution, the Court of Ap-
peals says: 1T is clear beyond doubt that
an order approving a substitute appeal and
directing distribution in accordance with
the PRAYER Of the petition will afford ample
protection of the administrator for the
money or funds SO paid out. If. however,
the administrator should deem it necessary
for Its protection that the parties receiving
d1stribAtion under such order should exe-
cute their personal release for the same or
should execute powers of attorney author
izlng the execution of such releases, it will
be the right of the administrator to exact
such releases upon payment of the distri-
buttons; and such releases may be filed in
the office of the register of wills. to be pre-
served with the stipulation under which the
distribution may be made

They Were an Outgrowth of the Beaco,
Fires on Headlands.
1t. John M. Ellicott, U.s.N., writes
for April st. Nicholas a paper on light.
houses entitled: "The Lights That
Guide in the Night" 1t. Ellicot,
says:
When ships are sailing upon the
ocean the lights of heaven are their
guides. Even in the dark ages, when
the compass and sextant were un-
known instruments, the seemingly
motionless pole-star hung like a bea-
con light in the northern heavens. and
the rising and setting of the sun and
stars distinguished the east from the
west. When, however, ships come
near the land the lights of heaven are
not sufficient safely to guide them.
Rocks lie in their paths unseen III the
night; reefs and shoals spread under
the water; while unsupported currents
sweep the frail craft all bltndly upon
these dangers. Nevertheless. ships
were sailed along dangerous coasts for
centuries before a plain system of
marking dangerous places was invent
ed. The early mariners were bold and
reckless rovers, more than half pirates.
who seldom owned a rood of the coasts
along which they sailed, and could not
have established lights and landmarks
on them had they cared. to do so. The
rude beginning, then, of a system Of
lighthouses was when the merchants
with whom the reckless mariners trad.
ed in those dark ages built beacons
near the harbor mouths to guide the
ships into port by day, and lighted fires
for their guidance. at night. AS such
a h~arbor-guide had to be a sure land
mark in the daytime and a light by
night. it soon took on a settled shape
tower on which could be built a
fire; and such a tower was usually
built Of stone. This method of guild
ing ships into the ports which they
sought was scarcely established before
human wickedness used 1t as a means
for their destruction. Bands of rob-
bers, or, as they came to be called.
"wreckers." would hide themselves
near the haven sought by
+ richly laden vessel. and after over
towering the f1re-keepers would ex-
tinguish the beacon-fre on the night
which the ship was expected. Then
would light another fire near some
treacherous reef. The mariner, sail
ing boldly towards the false light,
would dash his vessel to destruction on
the reef, whereupon the robber band
plumber the wreck and make of
with the booty.

a golden head ON the mans shoulder,

the district found his earnings bccom-
