HE only can win in the struggle OF life who
learns his responsibility as we'll as his capable
ity. We must recognize the triple relation of
family, State. and Church. Only by building
themselves on the Church's foundation can ma
tions save themselves from discord, IL not from
final ruin. Young men have peculiar tempta-
tions as well as peculiar ambitions. II we see
mon sitting on high in Catholic countries who
are not OF our Church, to what must we ascribe
", IL not to the lack Of organization among
the young men Of those countries
be governed by men who hate tho name OF Gath
Ollie. II almost seems as II the struggles OF past
centuries had been in vain. In this. country,
where democracy Is on trial, we must not loso
sight OF tho fact that history may repeat itself.
Organization is the order Of the day. We aim
In our national union to keep young men In a

house" at the northwest corner of
Eighty-seventh street and Lexington
avenue. came up in the surrogate's
court and after being technically be-

resented a beneficiary under a viii of
James Richardson executed prior to

tested. Neither side expected this and
showed much surprise.
Mr.. Williams said the will was exc

three persons mentioned In the last two
wills several Of the half-brothers and
sisters of James Richardson were
named as benehciaries, and that should
the two last wills be declared invalid
this viii of 1886 would be of force and

Surrogate Fitzgerald gave him per-

might deem proper upon notice TO other
counsel. The case was then adjourned.
