rho r,gb+ NJ the Public Administrator to inter
v.pe IN an action and ask for the revocation OF let
ters of administration, and the question as 10
whether he is an interested party under the Code'
came up before Surrogate Fitzgerald yesterday on
or order directed 10 Fannie F. Blanchard. or Bel
keiser TO show cause why letters OF administration
granted to her on the estate Of William L. Blanch-
ard who she saws was her husband should not be
revoked on the ground Of fraud ana Imposition
practised on the Court
Mr. Arnold. representing the Public prosecutor
made the application He was accompanied ny WV
handsomely dressed women. one OK whom was ola
and the other young. and 1t was ruinored that
sister OF the decedent had appeared ana MADE
claim on the estate as next OF Kin
Mr. Arnold asserted that the woman holding the
naners of administration not the widow and
therefore notice should have been given to the Pub
lie Administrator Of her motion in asking for them
,This is a most extraordinary case he said This
man was q white mar. and the woman claiming TO
be his widow is colored woman. Mr. Blanchard
was we'll known and we know that this woman was
not his wife"
But we maintain that she Is his wife, Inter
posed G. A. Moses. vino appeared for the alleged
widow "and al the proper time we can establish
her claim beyond doubt. We claim ceremonial
marriage between her and the decedent, and
whereas the other side claims that she Is the COM
mon-law wife of a man named Belkeiser. we will

Mr. Moses raised the point that the Public Ad-
ministrator had no standing IN court as he was not
interested in the estate The Surrogate seemed 10
favor this view but reserved decision on the point
Mr. blanchard died in Oceanic. y. j.. last May;

a newspaper man says many pleas

tributes to their satisfaction, their
popularity, and even to their char
acter, and which places them in po-
sition to enjoy things that might
otherwise be hard to attain. Some
times these tn ings are appreciated
and valued at what they are really
worth, but again sometimes the
newspaper man is rewarded by COW
ert stabs in the back from some nar-
row-minded, egotisical fellow who
thinks he has risen solely by reasoa

A new order of marriage is called
for in this advanced age. After
centuries upon centuries of Cupid's

sung of Glove, sweet love-" for ages,
now comes a prominent eastern
woman to demand that congress
pass a law to compel men to marry!
