the Friends of the Young Soldiers.
A Thanksgiving eve entertainment for
fund of Company C, First Regiment
League of the Cross Cadets, was given il

organ prelude by Professor R. J. Harri-
son was the first on the program me OF the

tory remarks. At the conclusion OF Mr..

gramme was rendered: Address, colonel

The lecture by Rev. Father Ferguson
was the feature of the evening The
speaker ex planned in clear manner many
of the benefits that had resulted from the
Inquis.tion notwithstanding the popular
superstition which regards the Inqnisi-
ton as vague but terrible tribunal
erected in Spain in the days Of darkness
lesslv for their honest opinions. The lee
turer explained that fiction had painted it
with unjust colors and that many benefits
were the result OF the establishment of
that immortal tribunal by Ferdinand and
Isabella. At the conclusion of the lecture

CHARLES FAIR
IN A DILEM MA
He May Have to Fight
His Fathers Will in
the Dark.
IF the Trust Case Is Continued
He Will Be Badly
Situated.
Should he Destroy the Present Will
He Would Be Confronted by a
Duplicate.

A new complication has arisen in the
affairs of James G. Fair, deceased. The
whole matter hinges on whe her or not
the suit OF Charles l.. Fair against ". s.
Goodfellow ct ais, the cele brated trust
case, is or is not probate case.
The contention arose from an innocent
appearing affidavit recently filed by
Robert Y. Hayne, and an order of the
Supreme Court based thereon. II that
order stands Charles L. Fair will be
placed in a particularly awkward di-
emma in regard to his action to break
his fathers will. He will be ompelled
either to abandon that suit or to attack
the instrument. not knowing but what a
subsequent ruling of the Supreme Court
might otherwise declare it to be invalid
in ali points to which he now objects.
With the trust clause eliminated the will
under discussion would be perfectly satis-
factory to Charles l.. Fair, and he would
succeed to one-third of his ia theirs many
millions AS it now appears he will nave
to go on with his contest OF the insiru-
ment before the Supreme Court has de-
cided whether the trust clause is valid as
the executors insist, or invalid as Charles
Fair believes and as Judge Slack de-
cided.
1t has been confidently expected by
Knight & Heggerty, the attorneys for
Charles Fair. that the trust case would be
disposed of during the January term of
the Supreme Court. Their desire 10 have
this matter decided before the W IL contest
was heard led them 10 delay until the last
moment before fling the notice OF contest,
and it was only one day before the time
allowed by law for doing SO expired that
knight & Heggerty commenced the con-
test.
1t was late in October wheE the contest
was filed and hearing was set for Febru-
arv %. Bv this time the contestants at
torneys believed the trust case would be
safely decided and they would be in po-
sition 10 choose intelligently between ac-
cepting the will or urging its annulment.

The order on ex-Judge Haynes affidavit
eriously imperils this arrangement.
Hayne was only recently employed IN
the Fair case. He is retained as special
counsel for Executor W. S. GoodfelIow,
and he was commissioned to prepare
brief for the enlightenment and edlhca-
ton OF the Supreme Court upon all sorts
and conditions of trusts. Judge Hayne
required time to file his brief, and ac-
coidngly peutioned the Supreme Court
to allow him until the lst OF March to
prepare the document.
The petition OF the learned attorney
was supported by an affidavit in which he
set TO tn that Chief Clerk Marshal OF the
Supreme Court had informed him that 1t
would be possible in any eventto reach
the case on he January calendar.
The Supreme Court granted the petition,
and as the matter now tands Judge
Havne will have until March 10 digest the
law of trusts.
With that order standing, the trust case
will not be taken up until the July term.
Fence as they may, it is hardly within
the range OF probabllty mat Charies
Fairs attorneys will be g BILE to put off The
hearing OF the Will contest until after
July, and with the prestige OF Superior
Court decision in their favor on the trust
clause, they will hesitate before attacking
vigorously the body of the will now under
fire only 10 be met by another one in no
particular more favorable.
Mr. Heggerty stated he would go lnt to
the Supreme Court upon Decem ber l and
ask 10 have the case of Fair against Good
fellow, the trust case, placed upon the
January calendar pursuant to the sec
ZION Of the code giving precedence to pro-
bate cases.
If the trust case goes over until July the
best Charles L. Fair can hope for is the
opportunity of hg ting two suits in ad-
dition TO those he already has on his

"Why don'tycu go into bankruptcy?'
asked Judge Emden Of the Lambeth
county court, whom Mr.. Casswell, a
sausage manufacturer of Camberwell
candidly admitted that he could not pay
his debts except by small installments.
Il am poor man and can't afford it, "
replied the latter, who seemed to regard
his honor's question as tantamount to
asking a man with only twopence in his
pocket why he did not treat himself 10
turtle soup and milk punch. Such lux
uries as bankruptcy are not meant for
tho poor, and ho sighed as he added,
"You can't become bankrupt unless you
have money. 'Ah, yes, " replied his
honor, quite truel \ man in your po-
sition cannot indulge in the luxury Of
bankruptcy. So the unfortunate sau-
sage maker was ordered to pay up at

that time to this the name. not so much
OF tho writer. as of The law itself .
No writer who has yet ap-
peared can be placed in comparison
with Blackstone for his influence on
the law of the mother country and her
American offspring. The doctrine Of
Blackstone's Commentaries is quoted
and respected by a greater number Of
civilized men, spread over a far wider
part Of the earth's surface, than that Of
any jurist or legislator that has ever
lived"
Or Hammond was one of the most
successful teachers OF the law in this
country. and devoted the greater por-
tion Of his life to this purpose He was
also q constant contributor to the legal
literature Of the country. This last
work was completed shortly before his
death. and IL is thought by many TO be
the ablest effort of his life. Previous to
this edition, Blackstone, though in
constant use, had become somewhat an
tiquated But this edition brings it
down to the present time and makes
IL especially available for the use Of
lawyers and law students. It is evil
dent that DR.. Hammond was
thinking Of the latter when he wrote
in his preface; 1T is worth any amount
of time and trouble on the teachers
part to make general principles plain.
