The EXPENSES OF
SETTLING ESTATES

When a person dies he Is through
with Ohis worlds goods, and must leave
them to others; his viii is given the pref
erence and in most States the law sus-
tains his wishes, and the probate
judge issues DEGREES in accordance
Herewith.
BY common consent, a person s
wealth. should go to his nearest rela-
tives, and to sudh charities as he may
designate. During recent years sew
eral States have determined that the
estate of q deceased person must yield
up, under certain conditions, a percent
age, not of it's income, but OF its prin-
cipal for the support Cf government. !"
This seems like a sort of exit tax, wllioh
the deceased must pay for the privilege
LOT being forgotten. He brought moth
ing into the world and he can carry
nclhing out. He paid no tax for com
ing into the world, but he gives up
something when he turns his back on
it.
And then, too. in settling up an es-
tate there is often considerable expense
more now THAN formerly; and this
expense increases in proportion as the
estate increases in value. Who would
think that it would need to cost $500 to
distribute S1,SO0? A man living could
do this for about $1.S0; but, being dead
it is done for him on a different basis
We are led to these remarks by nCtic-
ing THAT in the settlement of the estate
CT the late Senator Fair the total valu-
alton on which the executors commits
sions were computed is S17,S51, ,645.
Cnner heavy fees are yet to be paid, but
it is estimated that $4,000, 900 will re-
main for each of the .ate Senator Fairs
three children. In either words, each
child gets S5,000.O 600 and the lawyers and
the outside world get about SO 3,OOO, ,OOO

ed, the rails on her starboard quar-
Ter twisted and broken and her 400
steerage passengers not vet recovered
from the fright occasioned bv the
battering the ship received from two
terrific seas. The saloon passengers
suffered n moment of terror that will
cause them To remember the vow

When LaGascognc left Havrc she
had not been headed westward many
hours when the first of the bad
weather developed. 1t came in the
shape of gales from many points OF
the compass and lasted for 81 hours.
The following day a second storm
arose. A heavy sea struck the ship
on the starboard quarter, caught life
boat No. 2, wrecking and rendering
1t useless, smashed the checks that
kept her steady, broke the dnvits
flush with the deck, twisted all the
ratings on the starboard side out of
shape and managed to knocN hole
about four feet square through the
turtle deck. The water poured down
through onto the spar deck making
fearful roar and driving the steer
age passengers almost frantic.

the bedroom, where were waiting
King Edward, Emperor William. the
duke of Connaught, Sir James Reid
and the royal ladies. The latter hav-
ing retired, Sir James Reid with rev.
erent hands, assisted by three trust
ed household servants, and in the
presence of the king, the emperor
and the duke, removed the body from
the bed TO the coffin. In death it was
iovelier than in the closing DAYS of
life. Not trace of the ravs gcs of
disease was visible.
The servants having retired. Queen
Alexandra, the princess and the chill
dren were recalled, and with linger-
ing steps and stified sobs they passed
slowly before the white-robed and
peaceful figure. At the foot. never
moving, stood the king, and when
the mourning crowd had passed there
remained only the son and grandson
of the dead. Emperor William wept
even more bitterly than the royal Ia
dies. Finally he also retired, and the
king was left alone. Sir james Reid,
bcckoning to the servants who were
holding the coffin lid, asked the kings
instructions.
For few seconds the king stood
speeches., stricken with emotion at
the last farewell. Then he said
quickly: CLOSE il finally IL must
not DC opened again"
Thus the remains of England's
greatest ruler were forever closed
from human view. Revcrently the
coffin was borne into the dining
room. Officers and men from the
royal yachts took their stand around
the coffin, over which the king,
queen and kaiser gently laid the
