Decision Of Lower Court Sustained by
Court Qf Appkali.

In the case of Mary Frances Waite. exc
cutrix of the estate OF the late Amelia c.
Waite. appellant, against Joseph Larocque,
George Hoadley and Charles c. 1seaman,
the Court Of Appeals late yesterday after
noon handed down an opinion, affii ming an
order of the lower court by which bill of
Mary Frances Waite was dismissed. The
opinion was written by Mr.. Justice Morris
and concurred in by Mr.. Justice Shepard
Mr.. Chief Justice Alvey submitted a dis
senting opinion.
The appellant, Mary Frances Waite, is a
daughter of the late Chief Justice Waite
of the United States Supreme Court. Upon
the death of the latter. in 1885, fund of
$21 600 was raised in New York city for
the benefit of the widow and family. This
fund. by the terms of the subscription, was
placed in the hands of Larocque, Hoadley
and Beaman, as trustees, to be invested.
When Mrs. Waite died. in 1896, she direct
ed in her will that the fund and her estate
be used for the benefit of her daughter,
Mary Frances Waite. providing that. in
case of Miss Waite's death or marriage,
the three daughters-in-law of the testatrix
should be the beneflciaries. Miss Waite,
not having married, filed suit against the
trustees to compel them to turn over the
fund to her as executrix of the estate Of
her mother
The trustees demurred to the bill, setting
up that the three daughters-in-law OF Mrs
Waite. who were named in the will, should
be included in the bill, as defendants. Miss
Waite declined to add the names and the
lower court thereupon dismissed her petit
ton, without prejudice. An appeal was
then taken to the Court of Appeals. which
sustains the dismissal on the grounds
stated in the demurrer.
In his dissenting opinion, Mr.. Chief Jus
tice Alvey takes the stand that IL the per-
sons named in the will were within the
irrvs s1f{4v - IN
they should properly be made defendants
with the trustees of the fund, but being
outside of the Jurisdiction of the court,
they should not be named as defendants
unless in case of necessity.

An Appeal for Aid for Cuban.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Let everybody who can do so lend a hand
to help the starving women and children Of
Cuba before it is too late! A delay of an
hour in this case may mean dozen deaths,
and If any man, woman or child in the
city Of Washington can spare a dollar, or
any other amount, for this most urgent and
humane cause let it be Forthcoming, now
Noble responses from all over the country
have been made to the call for help, but
the misery is great and the starving are
so many that thousands are going down to
death because they cannot be reached soon
enough by the supplies, which seem to be
falling off IS the war excitement grows.
Let no gathering clouds of war obscure
this emergency nor blind us to our duty.
The matters at issue between this country
and Spain cannot be settled for weeks to
come, even under the most favorable cir
cImstances, and in the meantime thou
sands of innocent human beings will die
miserably for want of the commonest nee
essaries of life If we do not help them.
Not dollar in money should be sent to
Cuba. Let every cent Of it go there in the
fern of provisions and medicine, bought
and paid for in our own country. It will
go through perfectly trustworthy agents,
who will deliver the supplies to those for
whom they were intended.
They are Americans whom we are helm
ing-a brave, honorable and generous peo-
pie who deserve to live and prosper as we
do. The bread we are sending over the
waters of Havana hsrbor to them will re-
turn to us many fold some day. They are
our neighbors, and we are morally bound
to share our food with them The least
that we can do is to give them the crumbs
which fall from our tables. Should every
one who reads this contribute an amount
equal to that which he or she would other
wise uselessly spend in one month the
sum total Of such contribution would
surprise the givefs. Enough money could
be raised in Washington alone tomorrow
by private subscription to save the lives
of 10000 starving fCuban women and chill
dren, and nobody here would feel the loss
AS a young man having to support
family on a small government salary which
may end this summer, / have not much to
give. Here is S. and II the equivalent of
this money can reach that poor Cuban
widow with eleven starving children that
the newspapers have mentioned God alone
knows what that woman has sufferedn in
time to save any Of them, or others in
their condition, will consider It the best
Investment ever made. =

INFORMAL RECEPTION.
Mt. Pleasant Congregational Church
Society Entertains Friends.

Mt. Pleasant Congregational Church
Society Entertains Friends.
An informal reception was given last
night at the new Mount Pleasant Con-
gregational Church by the society to their
friends and the Congregationalists of the
District generally. A large number of per-
sons were present.
Ellis Spear. president of the society, pre-
sided and made a short address. He
sketched the history of the congregation
from its organization up to the present
time and told why the site of the new
church was selected. He said that 1t was
astonishing how many gifts had been re-
ceived for the church and that these con-
tributions came from all classes of people,
from laoorers to lawyers. In concluding
his address. the speaker said he believed
that church is rot simply place of
worship. It is true, he said, that we place
the church as place Of worship first,
but we also believe that 1t is a place in
which to have social functions.
I'VE believe" he continued, "that the
people in the neighborhood ought to know
each other, and that there is no other
means existing better than the church
to bring people together so that they may
become better acquainted. We look for
great results here, and we expect to see
the time when we shall be able to COM
pete with the loafing corners and prog
shops. not by supplying such amusements
as are found there, but by Offering at
fractions for all which shall attract them
to our church.
Rev. DR.. Newman. pastor of the First
congregational Church, Washington, was
tho nex- speaker who. after some humor-
Gus remarks predicted a great future for
the church. Short speeches were also de-
ivered by Rev. H. w. Ballantine. D. D.
OF Baltimore, Rev. r. w. JONES' D. D.. of
Philadelphia, Rev. Charles A. Smith of

There is one place where the rights of
each and all should be more sacredly re-
spected than elsewhere, and that is in
the house of God; yet nowhere else do
they meet with such absolute and reckless
defiance. The woman whose monstrous
head structure prevents those behind her
from seeing the minister, except by a con-
tinuous lodging and twisting about, has yet
to learn the first principles of Christianity,
for the Golden Rule has no place in her
religion.
A refined Christian woman will not make
herself conspicuous by adopting loud and
exaggerated styles, nor turn the Sabbath
vanity and selfishness. se

ade in the uncouth and grotesque styles

profess, 1 beseech you to lay aside for
one day in the week those hideous things
covered with the mutilated carcasses of
tortured birds, and the plumes stripped
from shrieking, bleeding ostriches, and
wear a modest, rational head covering, be-
fitting the house of worship and in har-

II also beg to express through You my
appreciation of the kindly consideration

from them the most courteous treatment,
as well as having been at their hands the
recipient of innumerable acts of assistance.
ITO relinquish my official connection with

my part of the courtesy, kindness and in
valuable aid of gentlemen for whom I
shall ever entertain the highest respect
and admiration. both officials and as
men.
Il again assure you of my deepest APP

Inspector Mattingly Requested to
Find Ex-POliceman May.
Mrs. Susie May, wife of ex-Policeman
Martin Luther May, called on Inspector
Mattingly this morning and asked that the
police make some effort to find her hus-
band. who disappeared about the LIST of last
July. 1t is the wife's belief that her hus-
band did not go away alone, and she says
she is under the impression that his COM
panion, like herself is named Susie.
May was doing duty in the second pre-
cinct at the time he drew his salary for
the month of June. He was never popular
with his fellow officers, and when complaint
was made that he was neglecting his fam
lily he became still less popular. An inves-
ugation Of his conduct was started by DO
lice officials, and the officer was forced to
resign.
Since his departure his wife has learned
that he was in the milk business in Phila-
delphfa. May was formerly a resident Of
Rockingham county, Virginia, where his
relatives now live, and his wife resided in
Madison county. She has six children and
five of them are living with her at No HOG

The police cannot help her any unless

whom she says he went away. Mrs. May
Is anxious to have her husband located and
