PENSION THEIR
EDUCATORS I?

New York, Nov. 20.--Whether the Car
negie Foundation for the advancement OF
teachers should provide pensions for re-
tired professors OF state universities as
we'll as those OF other institutions or
learning was considered at a meeting OF
the board OF trustees of the Foundation
today.
Henry S. Pritchell. formerly president
OF the Massachusetts Institute OF Tech
nology and of the Foundation also, con-
tended that the various states should
take care OF their university professors
saying that II the Foundation pensioned
them Il would establish dangerous pre-
cedent and relieve thee Estates OF all re-
sponsibility.
DIR. G. X. Van Hise. president OF the
University of Wisconsin, maintained,
however. that the university presidents
had no control over the legislatures and
unless their professors were pensioned by
the Foundation they would probably new
er be pensioned at all. Action In the mat
ter was deferred.
Among the trustees, all of whom are
college university presidents. present to-
day were: Charles w. Eliot of Harvard,
who presided: Nicholas Murray Butler OF
Columbia, Woodrow Wilson of Princeton.

POINT RAISED
IN WILL CASE

The most important point involved I'm
the case of Elizabeth Bates appellant,
VS. James Hacking, executor, heard by
the supreme court today on exceptions
from the superior court was whether the
destruction OF certain will made after
a former one revives the former will In
the absence of positive evidence that tes-
tator intended by revoking the later will
to revive the earlier one.
Peter Warren OF Pawtucket, who was n
well-to-do resident OF that city, seemed
20 have penchant for making wills.
The will now before the court was dat
ed May 10, 1900, and was admitted TO pro-
bate by the court I'm Pawtucket. Mrs.
Bates, daughter OF the testator. took
an appeal TO the superior court. Ten days
after this will was made Warren made
another will containing a clause express
ly revoking all prior wills. The earlier
will was given TO Mr.. Hacking, but the
last made instrument was kept by War
rem himself Some time later he burned
the later will.
Judge Stearns In the superior court in
structed the jury TO find that the instru-
ment offered was not the last will and
testament OF Peter Warren, owing te the
making OF another Will revoking the one
offered This instruction the APPELLEE, thar
is, the exector of the earlier, says, was
wrong. IL is admitted that without stat
utory assistance the question involved is
not free from difficulty, but counsel for
Mrs. Bates maintain that the greater
weight OF authority Is I'm support OF
Judge Stearns. They maintain further
that under our statute the clause OF re-
vocation Immediately destroys forever
the earlier will. Counsel for the execu-
tor argue otherwise

REAL ESTATE AS
AN INVESTMENT

Oakland Beach real estate is the safest
and fastest money-making investment at
the present day.
Mr. Bennett at Oakland Beach can
show you over 20 cottages that are bring
ing their owners 20 per cent on their n-
vestment. The owner OF one cottage now
In process OF erection tells the writer
that he has had i6 applications to rent
IL the coming season. Ten days ago he
came here with the idea of building one
cottage for his own use, now he Is TO
build three.
What makes Oakland Beach real estate
valuable: First-Transportation TO and
from Providence; electrics every 20 min
utes during the summer; half hourly i'm
winter Second-The finest bathing beach
on Narragansett Bay. Third-Land all
high and dry; no malaria.
When you put your money In Oakland
Beach lots it's safe. 1t can't run away.
1t can't be lost. II can't be destroyed.
Don't put your money in mining or oil
stocks that God only knows the value of,
but invest IL i'm real estate where there
is steady increase In value.
William jennings Bryan says: Real es-
tate is the best investment for
small savings. More money is made
from the rise In real estate val
ues than all other causes COM
bined To speculate In stocks is risky,
and even dangerous, but when you buy
real estate you are buying an inherit
ance."
Andrew Carnegie says: THE wise
young man or wage Garner OF today In
vests his money in real estate"
President Roosevelt says: Every per-
son who invests In well-selected real es-
tate 4 ma growing section of a prosperous
community adopts the surest and safest
method of becoming independent, for real
estate is the basis of all wealth"
Oakland Beach lots are large, none
smaller than 40xS0, and they are sold for
cash or on small monthly payments-Sl0
will start you as a property owner. No
taxes until final payment is made; no in
terest for the first year and in case OF
sickness we will carry your payments
along.
Mr.. Bennett, the local representative. is
on the grounds every day In the year.
Go out and talk II over with him. IL
does not need a brass band, or the gift
OF pianos. automobiles and diamonds TO
sell lots at Oakland Beach--the lots sell
themselves Ii will be the safest. surest
Investment you ever made.

free delivery route between Washington
village and Nooseneck Hill reversed the
order of delivery, starting from Washing
