Bill to Amend Probate Fees.
. of The Evening Star;

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The bill introduced in Congress recently
to regulate probate fees and costs in this
District deserves the attention, and 1t is
thought, the support of the people of the
District and their friends In Congress. 1t is
the result of several months hard
work by committee of the Bar
Association of the District. at the sug-
gestion of the register of wills. in the en-
deayor to remedy complaints that. have
been made from time to time and to har-
moniZe as far as possible conflicting views
have chance OF enactment. Without going
into the technical details. 1t may be said
that the bin has two leading features that
ii seems ought to commend it to general
support. The first is that it makes the fee
for all the routine proceedings in decedents'
estates and in guardianships fixed sum,
propOrtioned to the amount involved. Where
this is less than $500. no fees are to be paid;
is arranged, from 80 up, which Is not bur-
densome on any estate in proportion to the
amount. AT present, the smallest estate
worth over 500 must pay the same items
of fees for the same services as the largest
estates, and it may happen that it will have
to pay more in the aggregate than some
large estates, which Is quite hard On poor
people, The second feature Of this bill
above referred to Is that it proposes to
abolish the custom of recording in books
a large mass of papers which are also care
fully Kept on HE, IN the court such as IN
yeHtories, bonds, reports of sales, and ac-
counts. and abolishes all needless copying.
This will reduce the running expenses of
the Probate Court, at the same time that
the fees to the public are reduced.
AS merely one instance of the widespread
extent to which this bill, IL enacted, would
benefit the business people Of the District.
may be mentioped the fact that the law
requires every bill against a deceased per-
son to be sworn to by the creditor and APP
nrayed hy the Probate Court before II can
be paid safely by an executor or admins
traitor. The legal fees for this service at
present amount to As cents. to be paid by
the creditor on every bill or claim, large or
small. Under the proposed law this charge
would be practically abolished. as the lump
sum charged on each estate would include
this service. This would be welcome saw
ing, especially to those having bills for
small store accounts, servants wages, &C.,
against deceased persons.

the Editor Of The Eyening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
/ desire to call the attention of the fnfiu-
entail residents of our city to an import
ant work. that by this means that new ave-
nues of thought may be opened and relief
afforded to many noble persons who are
now oppressed, and who are eking out a
miserable existence on account of unfor-
tunate circumstances There are several
Charitable societies in this city under the
supervision of cultured Christian ladies.
There are daily calls on their treasury, and
often from incurables. whose claims, of
course. are paramount Then many have
failed to obtain government positions, and
many of them competent and gifted, yet in
adversely and deepest trouble Should not
these be encouraged? Instead of giving
them, now and then. little help for a
scanty meal. they might be reinforced. en-
abling them to start life anew. Severe ex-
periences have taught them valuable and
imperishable lessons. and being wiser than
before these experiences life would doubt
less be a greater success with them. VIII
not Christian workers reflect on the plan
to encourage these destitute persons in
some little business enterprise, and allow
the benefciaries to return the money adj
vanced when success shall crown our eff
starvation and ruin. Thus the treasury
would be constantly replenished-"a wheel
within wheel" Suppose one could be
started in opening cafe. the millinery
small scale. So many hearts would thus
be comforted. 1t seems cruel that honest
lives should be stranded for lack of REIN
forcement. Why may not Congress pur-
chase here home. where the weary and
heavy laden" may rest. until work may DO
found Gods blessings will accompany those
who seek to save lives and souls Thy
prayers and thy aims have come up for a
memorial before God Will Christians re-
fieet upon this matter and petition our Con-
gress to rear a temporary home for the
needy in this great capital OF our nation?
trust the Christian workers of our city
will convene and discuss plans as suggested
or 1t may be some Individual will consider
the subject. NJ. G.

The Congregationa1ist (newspaper) of
Boston also sent a large sum, and Miss
E. c. Wheeler of Worcester, Mass, secre-
tsry of the American and Indian relief

The money was rot given away. The COM

The rule of the committee in the disburse-

Medical Work of the Missions.

The medical and dispensary work of the
missions is also very extensive. and its i'm
portance to the peasant class and the bless
ings it confers upon the poor cannot be
recognized by those who have never visited
India and other countries of the east and
seen the condition of women. Ninety per
cent of the Hindu population of India, and
that means lIJOO0OOO people, will not admit
men physicians to their homes to see wo-
men patients, and the only relief that the
wives. mothers. daughters and sisters in
the Zenanas can obtain when they are
i'll is from the old fashioned herb doctors
and charm mixers of the bazaars. Now
American women physicians are scattered
all over India healing the wounded and
curing the sick. There are few from other
countries. although the English, Scotch and
German Lutherans have many missions A
new hospital for women and girls is just be-
ing opened at Ahmednager. 1t Is to be car

There is no more ptiable object in exist

those of the lower classes, for under the
cruel Brahmin custom they are not allowed
to remarry and were formerly burned as
you remember. upon the funeral pyres of
their husbands. That was abolished by
British law in 1873, but it is a question in
many cases whether they are better off. be-
cause in the homes of the upper classes they
are condemned to lives of solitary confine-
