Sum ALLOWED ADMINISTRATOR OF
THE MINTZER ESTATE
That Covers the Work Done by Him
and the Legal Services OF the
Firm That Contested the Claim
of Joseph Waters-NO Appeal
Taken.

Judge Willrich, of the probate court,
allowed the final account yesterday of
Haydn E. Cole, administrator Of the
estate of Anna r. MntZer
Joseph Waters, who claimed the en-
tire estate by virtue of an alleged mar
riage certificate purporting to be docu-
mentary evidence Of his marriage to

count, filed yesterday, shows the total
value of the Mintzer estate, now in his

trial of the Waters claim, which cost
$632.32.
When it came to allowing fees of
Administrator Cole and his attorneys,
Messrs. Stevens, O'Brien, Cole and
Albrecht, Judge Willrich was of the
opinion that the administrator and his
attorneys We're fairly entitled to an al
lowance of $4,000, considering the value
of the estate, the nature of the claim
they defeated, and all the work per-
formed.
o. E. Holman and E. H. Morphy,

objections to the allowance. Judge Will
rich, in commenting upon the case,

ter Of their services in protecting the
estate against a fraudulent claim, that
If successful, would have deprived the
HEIRS of every cent.

Why have not the bankers fixed our
banking laws just exactly right? FoI
thirty years no one but the bankers has
written IL line on our statutes about
money, banking, standard of business
interests but the bankers. Now, why
at this late date tell us everything Is AL
awry and must be reformed some
more? If things are wrong, whose
fault is it? Did the plow-hand get them
wrong2
Did the farmers jumbo up our fl

Did the laborers do this deed? Did the
factory folk hang around Washington
and procure this system of absurd cur

nowadays? hats the matter with
Gage &Co., anyhow? If we follow
them some more, after getting into
this maize of ruin, bankruptcy and
sound money and unsound everything
else, will we deserve any BETTER fate
than their lust of greed will deal out
to us?

How did gold get to be twice as val

If Andrew Jackson and Thomas Ben

years ago, why didn't Rotschild and

SONS OF SLAVE OWNERS

A reminder of slavery days III the
United States comes to hand i'll CIR
cular telling about '"rhe national beneN-
lent association of descendants on Save
owners" whose objects are 1.-THE pre-
vention of laauperism, and the promotion
of the welfare, physical, moral, religious
and Industrial of those whose forefath-
ers served ours There are to be state
branches of the general association, and
each member, after paying hls or her
due of 81 or more yearly, is expected TO
do something "for some c0l0red school,
orphan asylum, hospital negro or
negroes" 1t is proposed to have gene
raj conference once a year in WaShlng-
ton, to be made up of delegates from the
State branches, which shall talk over the
work done and help to promote and sys-
tematize it. All this is excellent as II
reminder of duty toward race once
submerged, but the action taken should
all be in the direction of promoting
self-help on the part of the negroes.
They need opportunity more than char
ity. and most of all the incentive which
the young. men and women are getting
through Hampton and Tuskegee. Such
an association would doubtless work
through these important agencies for the
building of character, and 1T might
do much to secure Il more general CO.
operation in intelligent effort for those
who have passed out of bondage into the
serious responsibilities of citizenship.
