Editor of The Times:

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-It is with deep regret taat am
coerced to make statement m reference
to the training school recently organized
at the Almshouse. It has been my yearn-
ing desire for years to improve the
system of nursing in our hospital, and
heartily endorsed the present training
school, and have done all in my power
to make it a success, butt1 am unwilling
to agree with Miss Cabiness In her state
ment that the Almshouse is in such a
cloud of Immortality, and that it is even
necessary for her to appeal before the
committee to help her lift that institution
10 higher moral plane, or that she
should make laws superior to the code
of laws adopted by the City Council tor
It's government.
Outside of the management, at least,
for the past Six years, numbers Of prom
inent ladies of our city have been regular
viitors to the Alnshouse. diffusing their
Christian influences and teaching mo-
rality. Only when the millennium takes
place can we ever expect to find perfec-
ton anywhere, more especially / ma aims
house. I may be pardoned when I say
that my Christian wife has heartily aided
me in the effort to improve the moral
condition of the Almshouse. I have also
had the strong aid Of the committee. as
well as that of number of preachers
and laymen Of the Various church de-
nominations of our city.
SPIRIT OF Law.
So far as enforcing the laws is con-
cerned, 1 will say that in dealing with the
poor unfortunates in good mary cases,
1 exercise the spirit and not the letter of
the law. and I very often get good re-
suits, so far as the eX-inmates are con-
cerned, as nurses I hope it is a thing OF
the past, ina smuch as Miss Cabiness with
her training school have succeeded them

the eliminates a helping hand, I have
gotten good results. l know of some

could not meet all of their demands until

for this year had been made up before
the training school was organized. Never

positions Were being taken here this
morning in the case Of the executor or
Indiana Fletcher Williams VS.. the Sweet

be remembered. bequeated a large prop
erty, valued at three quarters of a NIL
lion dollars to Board of Trustees for
the establishment of a school for girls
to be known as the Sweet BrIar lnstiS1
tute.
Not long after the death of Mrs. VIII
liams considerable litigation arose in
connection with her estate. and S. r.
Harding, who was selected IS trustee
by Mrs. Williams. employed several law
yers to represent h m. namely. Messrs
.Ioiql w. Daniel. Fred Harper, Aubrey p.
Strobe P P Garland, and Z. j. Camp
bell.
these lawyers rendered various and
sundry services to the executor OF the ad-
1,,iristration of the estate. For instance,
suit was brought by the next Of KIN OF
Mrs. Williams, claiming that they We're
entitled to the estate as the next heirs.
This suit was compromised by the pay
ment to the heirs of the sum of S23,oV'.
There were many matters to be settled
in connection with the taxes claimed pN
the State OF Virginia ana tAilillelSl Souii-
ty, and in connection with the removal
Of certain of Mrs Williams property
from New York State to Virginia.
After these matters were all cleared up.
counsel for the executor claimed fees
for their service as follows: Daniel &
Harper. $1,000: A. z. Strobe. $4,000: P.
p. Garland, $4,000, and c. ]. Campbell.
$4,000 Mr. John NJ. Payne. an attorney
OF Amherst. claims to have been one OF
Harding's counsel, and claims fee for

The Board of Trustees of Sweet Briar

contesting them in the courts.
S. r. Harding. the executor, claims that
he is entitled to five per cent. as sucls
executor on Mrs. Williams entire personal
property. amounting to between six and
seven hundred thousand dollars. Mrs.
Williams by her will bequeated Harding
5000 in a special legacy. and the trus
tees contend that this legacy must be
accepted in lieu of commissions. Fur
thermore. the trustees claim that the five
per cent commission is excessive.
