queathed $4,000 to the Roman Catholic

queathed $1,000 to the Roman Catholic
bishop Of Cork, Ireland, to he applied
to any charitable uses and so as to do
the most good in his judgment; and in
the twenty-second item he bequeathes
to the order of the Society of Jesus,
known as the Jesuit order, 100 acres Of
7 land at or near his place, Doneralle, in
Jefferson and Bullitt counties, for the
purposes of education and religion.
It is everywhere recognized as an un-
questionnbly correct doctrine that de-
vises or bequests for charitable pur.
poses are valid as within the spirit,
scope and letter Of the law of charit-
| able uses; and so also are bequests for
! religious purposes. All bequests for
the advancement of knowledge, learn
ing or education and religion are un-
| doubtedly charitable and valid Gifts
for religious purposes, for the advance
, ment of Christianity among infidels
and heathens, for the dissemination Of
the Gospel, for foreign missions, for
religious tracts, have all been upheld
| as valid and as strictly within the
an educational purpose it is a charita-
BILE use; if it is for religious purpose,
F., it is a charitable use; if it is for a
religious or educational purpose, 1t Is
of necessity for charitable use, and
/! is valid. Nor does such bequest have
! to be for both educational and religious
purposes. If the purpose is the promo
tion or advancement of either, it is &
| charitable use, and such bequest is
valid. This is elementary law on the
subject.
The bequest to the bishop of Cork,
| Ireland, requires him to apply the
$4,000 to charitable uses, and allows
him to exercise his Judgment. This is
not permitting the bishop of Cork to
make will for the testator, because
the testator restricts the application of
the said $4,000 to charitable uses. He
confides to the said bishop, as he had a
right to do, the exercise Of his iudg-
ment in selecting such charitable use
as in his Judgment would do the most
good. This bequest is as valid, in my
opinion, as any Of the other items
| sought to be impeached in this case by
the plaintiff.
The twenty second clause, devising
| 100 acres of land to the Society of Je-
sus, known as the Jesuit order, is
strictly limited by the testator to be
held and used for the purpose of edu-
cation or religion. The subject matter
the land-is to be held for the pur-
pose expressly haritable-cducatim or
religion; and the Society of Jesus,
known as the Jesuit order, is selected
as the trustee. If it be said that the
Society of Jesus, known as the Jesuit
order, is not capable Of being trustee
because 1t is too vague and uncer-
tain. the answer is that equity will not
permit valid trust to fall for want of
trustee. The devise could not under
any circumstances be held void be-
cause no trustee was named.
have gone farther into the law on
this subject than the case requires, but
on account of its being the first case
in Kentucky in which charitable be-
quests Of this character have been as
The Irish standard., 1901-07-20
fectly valid bequests for religious pur

fectly valid bequests for religious pur-
poses.
This brings us to consider the twelfth
clause of the testator's will, in which
he bequeaths $4,000 to the right rever-
end Catholic bishop (for the time be-
ing) of Louisville, to be invested, and
the income to be applied to rewards Of
merit for the pupils in the parochial
poor schools of Louisville.
Prizes to pupils in schools are incent-
ives to diligence and study, and the
validity of bequests or trusts for the
distribution Of prizes and premiums
for such purposes in schools and col
leges has never been questioned, much
less repudiated, by the courts within
my reading of the law of charities.
This whole doctrine discussed in the
Baroness Of Fahnenberg's case. Such
bequests are highly commendable.
They promote education Of the mind
by stimulating the pupils to study and
to a laudable emulation Of rivalry in
the pursuit of letters. The illustrious
Ben Franklin in his will, 110 years
ago, made such a bequest He be-
queathed f1OO to the Boston free
schools for the purchase Of medals.
That bequest was made 40 years ago.
1t stands today in full vigor, and, as
Mr.. Parton in his life Of Franklin says,
is still stimulating the pupils in those
schools to application today. Many of
the most eminent citizens of Boston,
says Mr. Parton, boast of. possessing
the Franklin medal e Parton's Life of
Franklin, page 62G). Look into the
catalogues Of Yale, Harvard, Univer-
sity of Virginia, the Vanderbilt Univer-
sity, Centre College or any Of the first
class colleges in the United States, and
you will find medals to be awarded an
nually under the wills of testators who
felt an interest in the education of the
youth of their country to such pupils
as display excellence or take first rank
in the different classes and schools,
and the medals and premiums are for
the most part known by the name of
the testator.
The twentieth and residuary item
of the. testator's will provides that all
the remainder of his estate shall 20 to
the right reverend bishop of the Cath
olic diocese of Louisville and three
other persons, to be chosen by him, to
be held in trust for the establishment
of home for poor Catholic men, as
soon as the proceeds of the estate may
justify. The three co-trustees have
been chosen by the bishop and have
accepted the trust, and ever since have
been acting as said trustees. This
item establishes an asylum or home for
poor Catholic men. The beneficiaries
are the poor Catholic men who may be
admitted as such by the trustees from
time to time.
To establish home or asylum for
poor Catholic men is both charitable
and humane purpose, and is strictly
within the enlarging clause of the Gen
eral Statutes touching charitable uses
in this state.
This brings us to the twelfth and
twenty-second clauses of the testator's
will. In the twelfth clause he be.

A Tribute 10 lrlshmen.

! Senator Hoar has paid many sterling
| tributes to the Irish, and there is no
reason to doubt his sincerity in so do
ing. Recently he again complimented
them. The occasion was the Iresentn-
tion of Il medal to the senator by the
South Boston Citizens Association nt
Youngis hotel, Boston, Mass. The
presentation was made by Hon. John
b. Martin, and in replying Senator
Hoar said: .....
"As grow Old and the sunset draws
nearer and nearer, it seems to me
that there is nothing else worth having
in this world except the Kindness and
love of my fellow citizens.
"This medal is memorial, as was
so well said at your celebration, Of
events in the history of this continent
Edmund Burke, that inspired Irish
man, friend, as every man OF Irish
! blood has been from the beginning, to
! the American people, said when the
not like the going out of an army, so
much as it is the emigration of an en-
| pire.'
Gle saw the meaning of that occur
renee ss no other man of his time saw
| it. There is one thing which has al
ways impressed me in studying thu
| history of Massachusetts, whether i'm
the great struggle with France at
| Louisbrrg and elsewhere, or in the
Revolution, the War Of 1912, the Civil
war OF in the War with Spain, now
| happily ended, and that is how abso-
| lutely the men who have done these
things so heroically, so successfully.
have been simply the excmplars of the
entire people of this commonwealth. !"
The young man stood before the
great steel magnatc. A moment later
the latter looked up. He stared at the
rough clothing, the muddied shoes and
the unkempt hair of the youth. "Wcll?"
he said. The youth retained his pres
ence of mind. He wanted a job be-
cause he needed it. "Sir," he said, 81
have came" He got no further. A
smile irradiated the magnate's face.
"Thats all right" he said; "the job is
yours. was afraid at first that you
might be one of those worthless college
graduates" And when the youth, the
valedictorian of his class and the pride
of the university, again faced his mir
ror he winked expressively at his own
reflection.

Where white-maned waves and chaos are.
With clouds above and not star.
And on that sound floats back to me
Another night far out at sea-
With grim Death facing you and me.
The wrack OF low-aung leaden clouds,
The wall OF wild winds through the
shrouds,
And frightened folk in shivering crowds.
When every wave our vessel heeled.
And every timber racked and reeled
As near and drear deep thunder pealed.
The life-boats splIntered one by one.
The last hope from them quilted and gone,
Deaths whlte-maned coursers charging
on.
I see -FOUR dear lips move in prayer.
Like siivercd seaweed seems your hair,
Never your face more fond nor fair.
And then the close clasp Of your arms
Which frightened with newborn alarms,
When Death could not abate your charms.
Then hours afloat upon spar
Where white-faced corpses floating are.
Amid the breakers on the bar.
All Iimued again on storm clouds dun
Which quenched the gladness of the sun.
Awakened by that minute gun.
but through the darkness OF the place
Shines forth the fondness Of your face.
Your loving eyes and matchless grace.
And. safe mid storm and lightnings
brand
While peril broods DER sea and land
Warm touch Of loving lips and hand
