FAY TEMPLEToN's LUCK.
Will Receive Large Share Of Howell
Csborn's Estate.

NEW YORK, February 7.-After lying
dormant for some twelve years the ro-
nance of the late Howell Osborn, man
about town, and of Fay Templeton, opera
singer and actress, involving the question
as to their. marriage, again comes before
the court. The actress, both before and
after the death Of Howell Osborn. which
occurred in 1895, asserted that she was
married to him, and said she was legally
entitled to call herself Fay Templeton-O o.
born.
Surrogate Fitzgerald to appraise the value
of the estate of Osborn, has filed his report,
and in it describes Fay Templeton as
legatee under the will, but mot relative
of the late Howell Osborn.
The appraiser reports that the gross value
Of the personal estate is s113,75O, made up
of interest on bonds and mortgages of sew
eral railroads and in trust funds.
The net value of the estate is 81 ,99667
of which amount Fay Templeton, in the
opinion of the appraiser, Is entitled under
the terms of Osborns will to $50 496.67.
The testator left no real estate.
Miss Templeton, who was recently mar
ried is entitled to the $50, 1867 irrespective
of whether she was or was not married to
Howell Osborn.
Howell Osborn, who was the only son of
the Wall street operator Charles j. Os-
born died in February, 1895: His father
died in 1885, leaving the bulk Of his es-
tate, estimated at 81 100000. to his widow,
Miriam A. Osborn, who died in 1901.
Mrs Osborn left several hundred thou
sand dollars in trust for the benefit of her
son Howell the principal to go to his
children in case he did not marry an &C
tress, or as the will specifically provided,
that the principal was to go to 1.-The issue
of a marriage between Howell and wife
who, prior to such marriage, had not at
any time acted, sung or danced profession
ally or otherwise performed for hire on a
dramatic stage other place of public
amusement or entertainment"
AS Howell Osborn did not leave any chill
dren, his interest in his mothers estate
died with him and the money reverted to
the estate to pass to other persons.
When Osborn died, on February 6, 1895
he left will executed on January 8, 1894
leaving the residue of his estate to Fay
Templeton, with the provision that she
should select such of his property as she
might fancy-not more, however. than
100000. At that time Osborns estate was
valued at but $4,000. with few small
legacies to be taken out before the residue
passed to Miss Templeton. With the pass
ing of twelve years Miss Templeton's
share of the estate has more than doubled

MR.. oLNEY's VIEW
Public Schools Are Under the Police
Power of a State.

Mr.. Richard Olney, who was Attorney
General under President Cleveland, has
written to Representative Mccall of Massa-

treaty with Japan, which has not been
quoted in the discussion of the California
school question, and which in his opinion
sustains the contentious of the Californians
The clause is as follows:
ut Is. however, understood that the stip-
