COURT UpHOLDS SETTLEMENT
Contest Over the Fortune of n Brewer
Thrown Out by the
Judge.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 12.-The suit brought
four years ago by Ferdinand A. Helm, ad-
ministrator of the estate of Michael Helm,
deceased, the big East st. Louis brewer,
against Joseph j. Helm, executor of the
estate of Ferdinand Helm, sr, Joseph j.
Helm, Ferdinand Helm, jr. and Michael G.
Helm, has been dismissed by Judge Slower
in the district court. Judge Slower finds that
the estate has been properly administered
and assesses the costs in the suit against the
plaintiff.
The fortune over which the parties to the
suit have been contending was amassed by
the brothers, Michael and Ferdinand Helm,
in the brewery business in East st. Louis,
III. In 1883 Michael Helm died interstate
and the estate was not settled for over ten
years, when the widow, now Mrs. Anna
Helm Macarthur, of Los Angeles, Cal, and
her two sons accepted slO5 900 in full settle
ment ( 7 their shares. The contention raised
in the suit just disposed of was that this
sum was inadequate and that the value OF
their interests in the brewery was worth
much more,

Robert w. Patrick Files Answer.

The transcript Of the case of John w.
Borst against Robert w. Patrick has been
filed in the United States circuit court, it
having come from the Douglas county dis
trict court. At the same time the answer
OF the defendant was filed. Admitting the
formal portions, the defendant denies that
he owes plaintiff the sums of money alleged
and sets up in a cross petition a claim for
attorneys fees in the aggregate sum Of
SO, SOS.
Defendant states that in 1885 he was en-
ployed by plaintiff as attorney to conduct
litigation in the case of Borst against Car
son, involving the title to certain land, and
that by the terms Of a compromise effected
by him Borst and Carson were to partition
the land between them, subject to a tax
lien for 81, 700; that the land was sold under
the lien and purchased by the defendant for
81, 200; that as attorney for Borst he re-
ceipted on the docket for that amount of
money, although no money had been paid
into the court and he had received none;
that by an agreement with BOrst one-half
Of the land was transferred to J. N. II.
Patrick as trustee for Borst, but that by
proceedir s in Nemaha county Patrick was
Invested of his title; that the total amount
Of money Received by defendant out of the
he was entitled to SO, 400 fees and expenses
and for the difference between that amount
and the S535 he asks judgment.

HOL MES GOES BACK TO JAIL
Spectator in Exposition Railroad Tickets
Fails to Prove His Innocence.
EVIDENCE IS TAKEN AS CONVICTION
Defendant is Said to Have an ENcep-
%tionalIy Perfect Set of Tools for
the Manipulation of Rail
road Tickets.

f. f. Holmes, arrested on the charge Of
lrregularity in connection with the sale OF
railway tickets. and who was brought be-
fore Judge VinFonhaler in the county court
Thursday afternoon, was sent back to jail
yesterday to avail trial in the district
court. Holmes preliminary examination
resulted in his being held for further in
vestigation. Bond was fixed at 81, 900, which
he could not give.
The prosecuting witness was James E.
Hit, "A ticket broker from st. Joseph, Mo,
Mr.. Hit testified that he had received from
Holmes a consignment CT bogus tickets over
the Burlington and Santa Fe railroads,
which came about as the result of the cheap
rates that were made for the exposition in
Omaha. He was called upon by detectives,
he said, who asked him what he knew
about Holmes. For reply he gave them the
consignment of tickets, which amounted to
about 5000 miles, From the evidence thus
secured the railroad passenger agents and
the secret service force worked up the
case that landed Holmes in jail.
Mr.. Hit was subjected TO rigid cross
examination by the attorneys who repre-
scented Holiness but he did not wayer in
the story he told in the beginning.
According to the evidence the manner In
which Holmes manipulated tickets was most
clever. He is said to have had the most ex-
pert lot OF tools in the country, and by his
method, SO the evidence showed, he could
fill up a punch mark made by a conductor
and by n punch of his own make a mark
that would extend the ticket for any length
OF time, just to suit his fancy.
Holmes was a familiar street character
in Omaha during the exposition. He was a

graphs. To the reader not versed in phil.
ately the text becomes obscure as he
goes on. Such a one cannot hope to APP
preciate intelligently the import Of the
question, why is the Alexander blue s.
rare?' Even the lecturer seems afraid to
go very deeply into this problem. TIL
passages about the soc mortgage" "tho
saw TOOTH ''the Csc power of Atty" tho
"blCcks of four" and the unused o. z. pair
are terribly difficult, though the key of 1t
all seems to be a proper understanding of
the vertical pair" The unlearned reader
who is not wise enough to skip most OF this
part may mistake philately for a Sherlock
Holmes affair when he reads. my theory
is that these were used by those who used
a great many stamps, and the Office boy
was detailed to do this cutting In his UNI
occupied moments; then again 1t glides
once more into some strange unpublished
theory of ethics, bitterly denouncing "un-
scrupulous persons'-perhaps these same Of
flee boys with "unoccupied moments'-
who have trimmed at the Sides Now It
will look like an article on surgery or gam
bling, and anon suggests a highly condensed
treatise on the fourth Dimensions OF space.
And II the unbalanced reader has not a care
his perusal may end in homIcidal mania.
To be sure, there are points in the lee
ture which the general student may tolerably
well comprehend. g beginner even in
philately can tell a stamp by the simple
description as the lecturer actually OBJ
serves. Any schoolboy with n brand new
stamp album can see that this lecturer re-
jects Mr.. Sterling's theory Of Surface col
ored paper; that he really does not think
very much OF a recent work published by
the Boston Philatelic society, although he
seems inclined to hedge on this, and that,
al Ia. ,.,,n
government paper, his loyalty does not per-
vent his openly blaming the federal authori-
ties for giving us eleven different stamps
for use in paying a 2-cent tax as well as
for not furnishing enc DR.. Kilmer.

It's advanced form the lecturer only speaks
In passing. Il also think that one Of the
pleasures Of and incentives to collecting Is
the probability or at least possibility Oh
completing ones collection at some rea>
sonable time in the future" The infer
ence here must be that one would, in such
a case, spend the remainder OF ones days
In bewildering ones grandchildren with
ones philatelic accumulations, and at last
die smiling at their innocent inability to
understand what made their grandfather do
this thing. But even this satisfaction might
be denied one, If the genius OF p~hilately
should break out again in the third genera
ton. There Is also the still more remote
| probability that the abolition of Internal
| revenue, or an outbreak OF parslmony in tho
treasury or some special Intervention Oh
congress, or some other inconceiyable acct
dent might arrest the progress Of many
cases Of acute advanced philatelism before
the natural period of senile decay.

Now PcrpIeX the Gray Matter of

These are the days of and this is the sea-
son of the year for institutes of arts and
sciences and in those institutes are many
mansions called sections. The multiplicity
Of sections is in proportion to the multi
plicity of the arts and sciences, which are
ever multiplying.
Within the last few weeks, reports the
New York Tribune, one of the leading instl-
tutes of New York City has been busy in
its section of philately with a most inter-
esting lecture. Philately is quite different
from telepathy, nor Is it, as many Of the vul-
gar think, a mania; it is, on the authority
of this lecture, a science. Like politics, in
the words of Count Smorltork, 1t surprises
BY himself a study OF great magnitude. 1t
appears to be one of those studies to which
a man may devote a lifetime, to the exclu-
sion of all others-even grammar-without
even getting to tho bottom OF 1t. In fact, the
author Of this lecture in one passage implies
an uncertainty as to whether it has any
bottom.
Thess statements, Of course, apply only
to advanced phiIately, of which the simple
collectors and stickers in of for
eign postage stamps have no
military press censorship. THE study now

way Of United States revenues comes up?
For the nerves of the frail advanced phil
atelical student have been strung up to the
pitch where he will shy violently at the
sight of a part rouletted SO 1893 issue"
At the same time, II he be sound in his
learning, he will not be startled at every
little thing-"creased stamps" for example,
and "all sorts OF fantastic perforations. p"

says, in a becoming spirit Of loyalty, ut
