LARGE FORTUNE GOES
TO MANY CHARITIES
Mrs. AuItmans Provisions include Hospital, Church,
Library and Old Woman's Home, the
Latter to be Started at Once.

Out Of the estate of Mrs. Kate B.
Aultman, the Auitman hospital locat-
ed in the west part OF the city, gets a
fund Of 100000, and provisions are
made for the establishment of an old
women's home in this city. In ad-
dition to this, many other bequests
are made.
After the death OF her husband,
which occurred December 26, 1884,
Mrs. Aultman was left with large
and complicated estate upon her
hands. She had stocks, bonds. mort
cages and claims valued at over 1915,
900, aside from her real estate.
The estate required a great deal of
attention, which she was not able to
give. and II was determined that
trustees should be appointed to take
charge Of her affairs. The matter
was in the courts for a time, the move-
ment being contested. Finally, Judge
"A. A. Thayer and Ed. s. Raff were
appointed such trustees. and later Mr..
Ran resigned. leaving Judge Thayer
at the head Of affairs.
Before agreeing to the arrangement,
Mrs, Aultman drew up and signed a
deed of trust in which she stipulated
what should be done with her prop
erty in case OF her death. She gave
1t all to charity. Her great desire
was to use the money for the benefit
Of others. and for that reason she
endowed institutions of permanent
nature. ,fr .re =
The deed of trust gives to the Ault-
man hospital the sum Of 100000 as
an endowment, the proceeds OF which
will go to maintain the Institution.
The hospital was built by Mrs. Ault-
man as a monument TO the memory
OF her husband, and she annually
gave It large sums of money.

COUNTY TREASURES AGAIN

When a man fails to meet your
argument squarely and undertakes
--Sel fefute your statements by launch
ing into an argument of an entirely
different character, one is at aloss 10
know "where he is at.
The FREE LANCE recently took a
decided stand in favor of County
Treasurers serving their constituents
just as long as those constituents
saw fit TO elect them and so long as
they are faithful to their trust. We
also took the Charlottesville Progress
TO task for strenuously Directing to
the Treasurers' meeting in Richmond.
The main portion OF the reply of the
Progress was taken up in an argu-
ment con Aing the manner in which
Treasures were bonded and while the
Progress did not say so, we inferred
that that paper favored the bonding
OF officers by Trust Companies rather
than by individuals.
We agree with the Progress that
Trust 6ompany's bond would be
much more easily collected than one
given by the average individual
rbondsman, but is that an argument
in favor OF either a short or long
term for Treasurers? Who is to
blame if the bond is insufficient or
faulty, the Treasurer or the official
who passes on the bond given?
b THE FREE LANCE fails to see any
philosophy in the argument "that
because bonds of Treasurers are
sometimes faulty and uncollectable
in case of a shortage in accounts, the
limitation OF service would in any
way serve TO overcome the default.
What is needed is more careful judg
ment on the part OF the officials who
receive bonds from officers Surely
elections for s years only will not ac-
complish this end any more than the
present system.
