the director Of TIE mint has lately cor

calls attention to the fact that the
stars on the great seal Of the United
States and on the seal Of the president
are nYe-pointed. but that the stars are
slx-pointea on the seal Of the house OF
representatives; and further TO the
sixpointed stars on the diverse OF the
half and quarter-dollar coins and the
fya-polnted stars on the reverse. The
reverse Of these coins Is a copy Of the
great seal with the clouds and stars
omitted. So far as known. says
Youths Companion. the ~slx-polnted
star comes from copying the colonial
coins made after the manner OF Eng
fish heraldry. which sanctions that
star. The stars on the nag are copied
from the Washington coat Of arms.

The mill to be constructed will have ca

Excessive freight rates and inadequate faeili-

a strong demand for the location of the mill
At this point
The tonnage which can be moved and handled

HUSBAND LOSES THE
ESTATE LEFT BY WIFE
Supreme Court Awards the
Property of Mrs. de CT
garan to Her Sister

Because he had married a woman
whose parentage was clouded. Vincent
di Cigaran viii lose the property of
his late wife, as awarded him by the
Superior Court. The Supreme Court
yesterday decided that all of the prop
erty formerly owned by the late Ro-
sario de Cigaran should properly go TO
her sister. Mrs. Refugio Padilla.
In deciding this peculiar case the Su-
preme Court virtually acknowledged
that its opinion rendered an injustice
to the husband of the woman. but
called attention to the fact that the
wording of the law would not admit
of any other Interpretation.
Section 1886 OF the Civil Code pro-
vides that II a person having neither
father, mother, brother. sister nor. chill
dgen dies intestate, the property thus
left must go to the living husband or
wife. il there be such The Superior
Court based its decision on this section.
but the Supreme Court holds that sec
ton 1888 of the Civil Code. which pro-
vides that the property Of an illegiti-
mate person must go TO his or her
mother. or to her heirs, provided
there are no children, annuls, in the
present case, the provisions of section
1886. No mention is made of the rights
Of a surviving husband or wife. and
as the sister is the lawful heir of her
mother. who is dead Mrs. de Cigaran's
