100000 Is Against A. =. Kelley In
di,iduaIIy---Content as 20 the Dis
trIbution of the Assets.
Judge Seagrave Smith Of the Fourth
Judicial district Of Minnesota has issued
an order in the matter of the assignment
of Austin f. Kelley and Louis +. Kelley,
co-partners under the firm name OF a. f.
a J.. J.. Kelley. and Austin T. Kelley and
LOUIS L. Kelley as individuals, directing
tina, all creditors of the firm and of the iu-
dividuai members show cause % any, al
the court house iu Minneapolis Apri U.s.
why an order should not be- made and en-
tered fixing a time and place for the TAX
ing of testimony by the court respecting
the ownership of the assets transferred by
the deed OF assignment, and respecting
such other matters as may be essential in
determining how the funds derived from
such insoveut estates shall be distributed
and their expenses Of administration
divided and why, ifito this court it shall
seem proper, the creditors Of said firm and
of the individual members thereof shall
not be directed 10 frame issues for the pur-
pose of having determined and settled the
conflicting claims in said petition referred
to: and why the court shall not then and
there make such other and further orders
in the premises as TO it may seem proper.
This order is issued in answer to the pc
tition OF Cobb ~ WheelwriEht, attorneys
for y. G, Cobb, the assignee Of the firm
and OF the individual members. In the pc
tiiiou MI. Cobb states that the time for
fling claims against the insOlvents eX-
pired Feb !. and that claims aggregating
more than $4,000 have been duly filed.
abou. 500, 900 Of which are against the
individual estate of Austin +. Kelley The
books show that practically all OF the as.
sets belonged to Austin +. Kelley udivid-
ually, and a considerable part of the in
debtedness was incurred in discharging in
terest against property standing III his
name.
The creditors of Mr.. Kelley claim that
the assets standing as his individual prop
erty should bee distributed among his in
diyIdual creditors to the exclusion Of the
creditors OF the firm: while the creditors
of the firm contend that all assets,
whether individual or partnership. should
be converted into a fund for distribution
among all creditors holding valid claims
against said insolvents. or either OF them.
Il is the opinion OF the petitioner. Il the
proceeds Of all the property appearing on
said books as belonging to said Austin +.
Kelley, personally, are to be distributed
only to his individual creditors there will
then remain no funds whatsoever for dis
tripuuou among the creditors Of said in
solvent firm. The assignee has on hand a
large sum OF money derived from the sale
of property belonging TO said estates,
which should boz distributed among the
creditors as a dividend upon their respect
i've valid claims: because of the conf lcting
claims be is unable TO determine in what
manner such funds should be distributed.

The members of the Vermont Live
Stock company held a meeting at the Yer
mont National bank last Friday night to
discuss plans for the coming year. John
ID. Stevens, manager of the compauv's
ranch, was present The principal sub
Jeet discussed was the matter of buying
young cattle this spring. The company
buys, on An average, 1000 young cattle ey-
cry spring but, although the past winter
has been fairly good, the price of cattle is
now so high that it is doubtful if the ranch
is restocked this spring. The matter was
left, however, TO the discretion of Mr.. Ste
Yens. There are 1000 or more cattle on
the ranch now which will be largely dis
posed of during the year Then if the
company decides to continue in business
the profits on hand will be used in buying
more cattle; otherwise they will be divid-
ed among the stockholders.

The Architect Who Designed the Unita-
rian Church.

Elbridge c. Boyden, who died at Wor-
cester, Mass, Friday in his seth year, was
the veteran architect of Western Mass
achusetts, and so retained his vigor that
within the last six or seven wears he had
d one some of his best work on important
public enterprises, such as the new CITY
hall at Worcester, the new court house
there aud the tour-arch stone bridge over
Lake Quinsigamond His greatest
triumph is probably Mechanics hall in
Worcester where so many festivals of the
county musical association and so many
political conventions have proved its al
mlrable acoustic qualities. He had design
ed great number OF churches for all man
ner OF sects in Worcester Fitchburg. Brat
tleboro, Athol, Ware, Keene, Spencer.
Newport, Brookheld and other places: a
number of county buildings; scor es of
private houses many business blocks, many
school houses, college buildings, town halls
and hotels in several states. He was the
architect of the Unitarian church in Brat
tleboro. The Worcester chapter of the
American institute o. architects have done
well to note his public spirit, and his many
important evidences of taste aud skill.
Mr.. Boyden was native of Wind
ham county, having been born in
> )merset. He was the son of Amos Boy
den, soldier of the Revolution and of the
war of 1912. He lived in Orange and
Athol going to Worcester in 1912. He
was at first carpenter and later became
an architect. He leaves a son, NJ A.
Boyden, known in Grand Army circles
and a daughter, Mrs. S. Hamilton Coe.

GUS population, it could be easily an
swered. No case that will hold water
can be made out for any such policy.
We have plenty of territory already, but
if we are land greedy it would be far
wiser to seek territory nearer home We
have no doubt that the great majority of
the people of Cuba will be Fanxious be-
tore long to have us annex that island,
and will gladly alb solve us from all
pledges not to do so. Cuba can be made
much more valuable to us than the Phil
ippines. and it can be had'f Ar far less
cost, for even If Spain should ceds those
islands to us the chances are that we
should have to fight the natives before
we got quiet possession of them. But an
for tunately the Philippine problem is not
entirely disposed of by showing that these
islands would not be valuable posses
sion for us, or not SO valuable as some
others that we could get on much easisr
terms.
1t is claimed by many who profess to
be against any extension of territory for
its own sake, that we are under obliga.
ZION TO clVlllZlulOl anu AuilletIAtJ LOU w
hand the Philippines back to Spain.
This argument is appearing in many in
fiuential quarters, and doubtless is MAX
ing comfortable impression. If it were
our duty to go to war to free one people
from Spanish rule, how can we consis-
tently remand another people to the same
rule? The answer is that it was not our
duty to go to war simply to rid Cuba of
Spanish rule, and we should not ha We
been justified in waging war for that
purpose merely. 10 drive out the Span
iards was only part of our purpose The
establishment of stable government was
quite as important, and without that the
expulsion of the Spaniards would not have
don, much to promote the cause OF civili-
zation or humanity. We shall not pro-
mote the cause of civilization and hui
| mainly in the Philippines any more than
in Cuba by simply driving out the Span
iards. We must establish, after their ex-
pulsion, a stable government, and all the
indications are that we can only do this
by the sacrifice of great many lives of
our own citizens. Humanity, like a good
many other of the virtues, ought to begin
at home. For us to bring sorrow and dis
tress to thousands of families in America
to establish stable government in the
Philippines would, in our opinion, be
crime. and to undertake it in the name of
humanity would not improve its quality
one whit 1t is about time that our human
| itarians, who have been concentrating
their attention upon foreign peoples,
should begin to see the other side and rec
ognize that all this promoting of human
ity abroad is at the expense of humanity
OF home.

THE ACTOR AND THE PRINCE.

A prominent German actor had full

in the capital of grand duchy, aud as
yet no recognition of his talents had been
forthcoming in the shape of a decoration.
Disguised, the player announced his in
tenuion of departing the following morn
ing, says the illustrated London News.
Early on that day the theatre.1ntendant
acquainted his grand-duoal master with
what had happened. The conversation
took place in the garden if the Schloss,
situated on the road to the station, and
suddenly an open carriage with the actor
in it hove in sight "Be quick T., said
the Prince; "get me that book on my
writing table. If go he must, We'll at
any rate try to satisfy him in his am BIZ
tion.'' The intendant ran. and returned
lust as the vehicle passed the gates Zone
moment, Herr B. . shouted the Prince !:
"here is something to remember me by. "
The actor bowed low and went his way.
In another moment, however, his convey
ance re-appeared at the gates. There
are two crosses, your Highness, he ex-
claimed. '.Never mind" replied the
Prince; "give the other to the coach
man.
