PLANT WILL CODICiL INVALID.
Provision Tying Up 100000, COO for
Fifteen Years Held to Be Illegal.

SPECIAL.
New York. Jan. 1.-THE codicil TO the will
by which Henry Bradley Plant. the rail-
road and hotel masnate, tied up his 500
WG.00 personal property by bequeathing il
IL his 6-year-old grandson was declared
Invalid to-day by Supreme Court Justice
LeVeatritt.
Under the will the widow and Morton +.
Plant. a sen by Il former marriage. We're
given a yearly allowance of $4,000 each.
MIR. Plant, in his eigntietl. year. Went to
Connecticut to establish his residence. as
that is one of the few States in which the
laws allow a person to tie up his estate for
more than two lives in being.
Mir. Plant died in June. 1889. and his Will
was admitted TO probate in New Haven.
The widow. Mrs. Margaret J. Plant. at
tackled the will on the ground That her nus
band had no legal residence in Connecticut
and that. under the laws Of New York, the
Will was invalid.
While Justice Leventritt held fhat the
will should he established as that of a resi-
dent of the county and State OF New York.
he decided that the last codicii. by which
Mr.. Plant attempted to tie up his vast
personal estate until the OUNCES one OF
his grandso?s. now 4 hoy of about q years
of age. reached the age of q years. though
valid, under the laws Of Connecticut. is in
valid under the laws of this State.
1t was by this last codicil that practically
the entire estate passed, the Will merely
making formal requests. The decision is a
decided victory for Mrs. Plant. as by its
terms she will. instead of merely receiving
an annuity of $4,000 a year, get about 81
0Co. 600 outright.

The remedy Is in tablet form. pleasant
secrecy is maintained as to what it con-

The safe and effective catarrh cure may
be found at any drug store under the name
of Stuarts CataTrh Tablets.
Whether the catarrh is located in the
nose. throat. bronchial tubes or stomach,
the tablets seem to act with equal success,
removing the stufry feeling in head and
nose, clearing the mucous membrane OF
throat and trachea from catarrhal Sacre-
tons. which cause the tickling, coughing,
hawking and gagging SO annoying to every

Nasal catarrh generally leads to ulcera-
ton, in some cases to such an extent as
TO destroy the nose entirely. and III many
old cases of Catarrh the bones of the head
become diseased. Nasal catarrh gradually
extends to the throat and bronchial tubes
