Small Estates IN EnnIand.

1t is considered strange that in Eng
land only one will disposing of as
much as $5,0O00 600 had been filed dur
ing the financial year ending March
81. The average number of such Wills
has been between five and six. Thus,
In 1900 there were nine estates with a
total Of nearly $1000O0,0O0; in 1901,
eight estates, total value more than
s5O,OOO,O0O; in 1902, five estates, with
the same total; in 1903. five estates
valued at s40O0O,OOO, and in 1904,
three estates valued at s25,OO0O0O. Of
twenty-four of the rice est testators
only one was under so years of age
when he died; fourteen were over 70
years old and six more than so years.
The average age was 74h years. John
Dawson, who left $3.5OO,0O0, was 90
years old The earl of Strathmore,
aged 70 years, left $475J 600.

MOURN LOSS OF JEFFERSON.
Veteran Of the Stage Beloved by All
Theater-Ccaers.

lUCdtCT-Gt"ST5s
Joseph Jefferson was undoubtedly
the best loved of American actors. The
older generation Of theater-goers re-
member him as the leading exponent.
II not the originator Of new school
Of acting in which simplicity took the
place of traditional stage art and man
nerisms. The younger generation re-
members him as Rip Van Wrinkle, a
character which he made ever more
attractive as he grew older.
In the late SOS Jefferson was asso-
ciated with the most popular players
Of the time. Those who were with
him on the stage and those who heard
him felt the influence of his new meth
cd. 1t appealed to the most artistic.
the most critical, as well as the hum
blest of playgoers.
This quality of Jefferson's playing
attached actors and people to him
when he first played "Asa Trenchard." :"
In 1853 as it did when he first played
rip Van Winkle,' seven or eight
years later. On this point the recol-
lections of Edwin Booth, Couldock
Sothern, Boucicaulc and Raymond as
to first impression are not notably dif
ferent from those of the unsophisti
Gated enthusiast from the country or
the playworn first nighter of the city.
The art of Jefferson touched eli,
and certain modulations of voice and
simple gestures and poses gave keen
est pleasure every time they were re-
membered.
Only those whose memories cover
forty years can understand what JEFF
ferson's rip Van Winkle" meant to
the generation that first heard 1t. 1t
was like a revelation to the infre-
Quent theater-goer, and did more to
break down prejudice against the
stage than any other play ever pre-
sented
Clergymen and thousands of men
and women who had never entered a
theater counted it an event in their
lives to see Jefferson in rip Van
Wrinkle" Men did not know why they
laughed and cried like children. and
they did not care. There was a magic
in the drama that had been there be-
fore, and Jefferson was the magician.
At first it was Jefferson the actor
that the people loved. Then they came
to love Jefferson, the man. RIP Van
Winkle" was a means of revealing to
old and young a personality as whole
rome in its influence as any ever asso-
ciated with the stage
In summing up Jefferson's career
1t is enough for people to say rip
Van Winkle." Called upon to give
him rank among the great actors Of
the world, ninety-nine out of hum
dred people would count it superfluous
to say more than rip Van Winkle."
And yet RIP Van Winkle" would not
mean so much to the world, could not
hold first place in so many hearts, mad
