WATERs-MINTZER CASE.
testimony In, and Judge Takes 1t
Under Advisement

Judge Willrich, Of the probate court
took the Waters Mintzer case under
Amusement yesterday
Mr.. Waters says he welded Mrs
Mintzer in March, 1892, and puts in a
claim for the entire estate. which
amounts to over 100000. Mrs. Mintzer
left no will. and her sisters. brothers
nieces and nepheWs say they are the
heirs. Mr.. Waters offers a paper in
evidence purporting to be a marriage
certificate, which declares that Mr.
Waters was married to Mrs. Mintzer
In March, 1892.
The case was closed yesterday fore
noon after receiving the testimony of
two more witnesses, Miss Nan Dineen
Of Chicago, and E. W. Holman. who
was called by Mr.. Bell in behalf of
Waters.
Miss Nan Dineen is the young woman
who wrote letter to her cousin. Dam
lei Hickey, the envelope containing
which was handed by, Daniel Hickey
to Waters, with the statement that
the address on the envelope was writ
ten by William Hickey.
Miss Dineen's attention was called To
the letter of Jan. 4, written from Chi
cago to Mr.. O'Brien's firm That let
ter contained, in her hand, the names
of Daniel Hickey and William Hickey.
Daniel Hickey had given to Waters as
a sample of his fathers writing the
envelope of this letter written by her
to Daniel Hickey The word Hickey

Oh Oh MS aeots, and, yet, If he had happened to

OF the insolvency law
1t Is well known fact that property sold
subject to the wifeis inchoate interest win
not usually bring anything like its full value.
The result would be- that the land would be
disposed Of without either debtor or credi-
TOR getting the benefit of its full value, and
put very remote and contingent advantage
from the sacrifice of the property.
We are referred to Dayton VS.. Corser, 81
views. In that case we held that the sale
OF the land Of one spouse on execution found
e eo upon d1art judgment against the owner did
spouse. But that case and the present
one are not at all analogous. In the case of
saie on execution the estate OF the debtor is
not In court for administration. No property
is affected except the particular tract or
tracts sold. Neither are his creditors In
court or parties to- the proceeding. There
are or how much his debts amount to. Hence
there Is no way by which 1t can be determined
what would be the just proportion of his
debts to which the wife's inchoate interest
IN the particular tract should be subjected.
GOODWIN VS.. kumm, 43 Mimi, 403, is also
relied on by plaintiffs council. That case WAS
rightly decided on the ground that the hus-
band cannot, by his covenants of title against
the inchoate interest Of his wife In the deed
OF conveyance, create by their breach a
debt which will indirectly have the effect of
diVest1ng the wife's inchoate interest in ihe
property conveyed. If the opinion had put
the decision of the case on that ground
alone 1t would have been entirely sound; but
1t proceeded obfter to announce certain o.her
propositions some of which probably in
correct.

TOOK HIS REGENCY
GOV. CLOUGH SUPPLANTs SENATOR
DAVIS ON THE STATE UNI
VERSITY BOARD.
REV. S. G. SMITH APPOINTED
TO TAKE THE PLACE THE SEN
ATOR HAS FILLED FOR
TWELVE YEARS.
GREENLEAF CLARK GETS BACK.
His Term Expired, Too, But He Was
Honored With IA Reappoint-
ment Yesterday.

Senator Cushman K. Davis. a re-
gent of the state university for twelve
years and one of its most loyal sun
porters, is no longer on that board
Gov. Clough decapitated him yester-
day. In 1892, when Mr.. Davis first
term on the board expired, Gov. Mer-
Ram reappointed him, there not SEEM
ing to be any difficulty about the man
agement OF the institution by reason
of Senator Davis active participation
in national affairs Every inch a.
scholar and eminently enthusiastic in
his championship of the university. he
was reappointed by an administration
which had, perhaps, no especial i'm
petus of personal friendship Senator
Davis has continued this interest in
the institution up to very recent
period, it being within only few
weeks that he delivered a series of
lectures there on international law
which have received high commenda-
ton in official circles as clear, inter
esting and untechnical treatises on a
subject as important as it is intricate
No little surprise was occasioned then
yesterday when, instead Of reappointing
Senator Davis. Gov. Clough commits
stoned to the vacant place Rev. Samuel
G. Smith, pastor of the Peoples church
in this CITY, giving the ministry a rep
resentation on the board which it has
not had in recent years.
The appointment indicates that the
recent report from Washington to the
effect that Senator Davis friends were
Gov Cloughs and Senator Nelson's
friends must be taken cum grano sails,
and the equally interesting inference
drawn from that premise, to wit that
Tams Bixby was to be the bearer of
the olive branch as a gubernatorial
candidate, must be relegated to the
period of romantic fiction. Gov. Clough

ter on the opponents Of the machine"

BoFrd VIII Proceed to Inv Ont "a,
Assessment District and Con-
suit Property Owners.

The members Of the board Of public
works yesterday visited Como park
and Inspected the tract of land which
the park board desires to be condemn
ed to form a part Of the park. The
land sought to be taken into the park
comprises about thirteen acres lying
just north Of the present limits Of the
beauty spot. 1t Is owned by Joshua
Robinson and ]. G. Quinby, formerly
member Of the board Of public works
The five acres owned by Mr.. Quinby
are plated, and the owner some years
ago spent over $4,000 in filling up
part Of the lots. The other seven acres
are part Of a tract Of some 200 acres
owned by Mr.. Robinson, who less than
ten years ago was offered $4,000 per
acre by a syndicate for the entire
tract. Mr. Quinby, year or SO ago,
when the matter of condemn1ng the
land for the park came up, thought
about $1,000 would be fair compen-
sation for that part of his land want
ed.
The board Of public works, after
looking over the ground yesterday, put
the maximum figures to be paid for
the land at $500 per acre. President
Copeland. as well as the other mem
bers Of the board, was convinced that
the taking into the park OF the dozen
acres would be just the thing and
greatly improve 1t. A portion of the
land Is low and marshy, which makes
the idea Of extending or charging the
lake feasible. The matter Is before the
board of public works on an order
from the park board to condemn the
land. The first duty of the board will
be to lay out an assessment district.
The idea of the members Is that, If
the property Is taken for park pur-
poses, the city should pay one-half the
cost, and the balance be assessed on
the property in the vicinity. The clerk
Of the board will prepare an abstract,
and then the board will call In the
property owners and hear what they
have to say

Miss Bretta Griffin and Her Expe-
rtence on the Stage.
Miss Bretta Griffin, the leading lady
at the Metropolitan this week, is one
Of the most charming women who has
come to st. Paul with a theatrical COM
pany for some time. Miss Griffin Is
blonde and attractive and refined in
her manner and carriage. She has
a freshness and youth one ceases to
look for among dramatic artists. At
the hotel last evening, Miss Griffin did
not display the usual odds and ends
and trophies gathered up on her tours
when a reporter called, but directed
attention to a small cage on her table
from which, at the sound of her voice,
two little red squirrels came cautious
ly forth after deal of coaXing.
Miss Griffin has been on the stage but
two years. 1t was greatly against her
mothers wishes that she assumed her
dramatic studies, but two years ago
she studied at the Empire Dramatic
school and did small parts for Mr..
Frohman. In the summer she played
with the Washington stock company
with Fred Bond, doing second leading
parts, and also appearing in several
curtain raisers. She afterward did
three months leading business with
Harrison Wolf, now leading man for
Margaret Mather, and received espe-
cially good notices for Ada Ingot In
David Garrick." She played small
part in the Prisoner of Zenda" and
then joined THE Royal Secret" COM
pany and when in Richmond the lead
ing lady left the company ten minutes
before the curtain went up Miss Griffin
was given the part to play, which she
did with success. OF her association
with the company, Miss Griffin says:
Mr. Lackaye is delightful to work
with and has given me every oppor-
tunity to appear at my best. He Is a
NEST clever coacher and has taught me
more in the six months I have been
with him than 1 have learned in my
other two years put together"

lows the Olympic theater to secure license

stated that Sodni had been advised that the
resolution would be; signed and he might Sc
cure license, but, only on the proviso that
no liquor would be sold on the second floor
of the resort and that the place would not
be made headquarters for disreputable fe-
male characters. The mayor also stated that

GRAND JURY MUST PASS
On Prosecutions Under the State
Medical Law.

Theophil Vincent, charged with vio-

to the grand jury yesterday by Judge

medical examiners, charges Vincent
with practicing without having secured
license, as provided by law. Judge
Orr held that the punishment section
of the law under which the complaint
was drawn was such that the case was
taken out of the jurisdiction Of the
municipal court, and there was nothing
left for him to do but hold the defend
ant to the grand jury. Vincent fur
nished bail in the sum of 500 for his
appearance, and was released.
