Newark, \. J., Nov. 23-After lit
igation, which involved many legal
intricacies and disputes, what may be
the final chapter in the settlement of
the estate of the late Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles L. Fair, who met tragic
death while automobiling in France
nearly four years ago, has been clos
ed by the payment of between $780,
900 and 100000 to Frank SIN tn. Of
Topeka, Kansas, a brother of Mrs.
Fair. who had not yet received his
share. Smith will leave for his home
in Toneka Sunday night.
1t was in anticipation of this settle
ment that Smith came East. He re-
ceives nearly twenty-five times as
much as the other SIX heirs, who were
. Mayor B II Smith Of Caldwell, Mrs.
]. Fl. BonnelI, also Of Caldwell, Abe
Nelson, of Newmarket: the late Mrs
A. Nelson Of Newmarket, mother of
Mrs Fair; estate of Mrs. Lefler, of
Union and Charles Smith, Of Denver.
Colorado.
Other Heirs Cot $4,000 Each.
Although the amounts the other
heirs received were exaggerated, it is
said the sum each received was S24,-
900: $4,000 on the first settlement.
and SD 900 in the final settlement.
At first the executors of the estate
were unable to locate Frank Smith,
but after the other relatives had sign
ed off he bobbed up in Topeka. Act
ing on the advice of an attorney of
that city. he refused to accept the
same amount as g ven to the other
relatives, and held out for one sew
erth of the estate which he succeed
ed IL getting.
After the death of Mr.. and Mrs
Fair, it was proved that Fair had
made will in which he bequeathed
everything to his wife. Mrs. Fair
also left will, which document be
queathed her property to her husband.
The Fair family attempted to show
in the courts. that Mrs. Fair died first,
which fact, if proved, would bar the
Nelson family, of Mrs. Fairs relatives
from deriving any share from the es-
tate.
Then came the first settlement of
$4,000. After that the attorneys
for the Nelson family opened the
case and succeeded in getting an ad-
ditional $4,000, an amicable settle.

Necessity for Discipline.

Apropos of the modern methods of
training children, writer in the
Lady's Pictorial remarks that. al.
though she "believes thoroughly in the
influence of love and patience, the
modern child is not a brilliant exam
pie of the new method. 1t is too often
pert, iE-mannered, blase, self-willed,
and no respecter of persons. 1t is nom
sense to maintain that a young, un-
disciplined, mentally and physically
uniformed creature can be treated like
a grown-up. Everything young wheth-
er it be child. a puppy, colt or a
tree. wants discipline and discipline
Is not to be maintained by theories"

The Denver Republican has al

knaveries of yellow journalism,

policy of telling the plain Truth
without exaggeration or misrepre-
sentation, standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commu-
nifty.

He located in Mariana, and after
four years residence was elected to
the State Senate. An ardent Wing,
he was an admirer and friend OF
Henry Clay. He had battled for the
great Kentuckian before leaving Ten

Polk in the campaign Of 1874, and
as he brought all his party ardor
with him to Florida, he was, in 1852,
chosen as Presidential Elector on the
Wing ticket in the race between Win

assisted in casting the vote Of the
State for Gen. Scott. This, ! believe,
was the last appearance or, at least
the last formidable appearance OF the
Whig party in national politics. The

MORE ELASTIC CURRENCY NEED
ED TO TRANSACT BUSINESS
OF COUNTRY.
ADVOCATES CENTRAL BANK
Or Any National Bank to Issue PAPER
Money and Deal Exclusively
With Banks

New York, Oct. S.-The report Of
the special currency committee ap-
pointed by the New York chamber Of
commerce to inquire into the condi-
ton Of the currency and to suggest
desirable changes was made public.
The report makes the following re-
concentrations, after finding that
the currency is defective:
81. That legislation be enacted
which shall provide the country with
flexible and elastic bank note cur
eney; and to this end We suggest that
either one OF the two following plans
might wisely be adopted:
"(a) Let there be created a Gen.
trail bank of issue similar to the bank
of Germany or the bank of France;
such bank to deal exclusively with
banks; its stock to be owned in part
by banking institutions and in part
by the government, but in its manage
ment representatives of the govern
ment shall be supreme. This CEN
trail bank shall issue currency, redis-
count for other banks, hold public
money and act as agent Of the govern
ment in redeeming its paper money
and making its disbursements.
"Or (b) let any national bank
whose bond-seeured circulation
equals so per cent of its capital have
authority to issue additional notes
equal in amount to 35 per cent of its
capital.
Let such additional notes be sub
ject to a graduated tax as follows:
The first 5 per cent taxed at the rate
of per cent per annum; the second
per cent taxed at the rate Of per
cent; the third per cent taxed at
the rate Of per cent; then an issue
equal to 10 per cent Of capital taxed
per cent; then an issue equal to
10 per cent Of capital taxed per
cent.
LET the proceeds of this gradual
ed tax constitute a guaranty fund.
in the custody of the government, for
the redemption of the notes Of failed
banks.
ITO insure the prompt retirement
of notes when not needed, let redemp-
ton agencies be established at sub
treasures and other convenient
points.
Let all the notes Of a bank be
alike in form, and let it be the duty
of the United States treasury as at
present, to redeem all the notes of
failed bank in full on presentation
from the per cent redemption fund,
and after the exhaustion Of that fund
from the guaranty fund
-. That the law restricting the
retirement of national bank notes 70
$S,OOO,OO per month by the deposit
Of lawful money be repealed.
SO. That future issues Of United
States bonds be not made available as
basis for the issue of national bank
notes.
-. That the laws regulating the
operations Of the United States treas
ury be amended in such a manner
that they shall not, as now, inter
fere with the money market; and to
this end We suggest Law requiring
that all money in the general fund
of the treasury above a reasonable
working balance be deposited In ma
ltional banks"
