NOT A WISE PLAN.

Two projects for establishing in this city
memorial to Mrs Gilbert, the actress, nave peen
proposed One of them, headed by MI Dtl!ei
Frohman several players OF prominence anu 'iio
pastor of the Bloomingdale Reformed Church'
is to put in that church, where Mrs. Gilbert
was long a worshipper, stained glass Wlhuo"
appropriately inscribed. The other, headed py
Mr. Thomas w. Pittman and organized as Inc
Mrs Gilbert Memorial Association" is for the
erection of a statue of the actress in some pup
lie park" This association has already chosen
model for the statue the work of Mrs. e. 81.
John Matthew'S showing Mrs. Gilbert In the
character of Granny, the part she was playing
at the time of her death. These UNCERTAINTIES
are independent each of the other, and, while
there may be no undignifed rivalry between
them, there is no sign Of their uniting. SeVerai
days ago, in reporting the formation OF Inc
Mrs Gilbert Memorial Association" The ltd
une said that many persons were unable TO see
the appropriateness of putting q statue of Mrs.
Gilbert in a public park; that the accepted de-
sign was made before the association was
formed and that the husband of the sculptor
had sought to interest Mr.. Frohman in the plan.
Mr. Frohman then said that such memorial
seemed to him in bad taste, and he has con-
tinued to promote the project of church WIN
dow. The article in The Tribune drew from Mr..
Pittman defence of the association and of the
plan for a statue, approved, he points out, by
many we'll known citizens whose names are on
the list Of directors of the memorial associa-
ton"
1t is a question of taste and propriety; the
good faith of Mr.. Pittman and his associates
is not disputed. Whatever the merits of Mrs.
Matthew's design may be, there are grave OBJ
jections to setting it up In a public park, even
supposng that permission to do so is procur-
able. A few great players have come down the
ways of time. a few have fttingly given their
names to playhouses. But public recognition of
the ephemeral place that actors hold in the world
of achievement has prevented the erection of
civic statues to their memory. There seems to
be no reason why the precedent should be
broken in this case.
Mrs. Gilbert was a sterling actress and an adj
mlrable woman. The public loved her. Yet
few of the rising generation know even the
names Of the characters Of real consequence
that she once played, and the next generation
will be more ignorant still. The world knows
that Joseph Jefferson was Rip Van Wrinkle; that
Edwin Booth was Hamlet, and tradition will
long preserve the knowledge. 1t might be ap-
propriate to erect a civic monument to either of
those players-the one in a character of impor-
lance in the history of American letters, illu-
in character Of universal and everlasting sig
nifcance. But statue of Mrs. Gilbert in the
character Of Granny, which few people saw
her play and which was of no dramatic conse-
quence, would be a violation of Justice and good
taste as she herself would have been among the
first to recognize.

two defendants by which he retired as an executor
under the WILL and that in consideration therefor
he was to receive from the defendants 1900 a year
and all expenses. and 10 share equally with

probated in England and letters testamentary We're

the defendants carry their part of the agree
ment TO pay him the commissions. but they repeat
eddy refused. He says he IS entitled TO receive
about $460,175.
The Appellate Division says that in this state
an executor is entitled TO any commissions from
an estate until the affairs of such estate are
settled. The opinion in conclusion. says an exec

son making the will has in him. The person SO
named is not obliged 10 act He can renounce his
right, but he sell it, and if he attempts to
