A supreme court judge in Brooklyn
set aside will under unusual circum-
stances. The testator had directed
his property to be invested and the in
come devoted to the care of his burial
lot. The Judge ordered the estate to
be distributed among his immediate
heirs on the ground that SO purely a
selfish disposition of property was too
much opposed to public policy and
duty to humanity to permit. The needs
of the living. he said, were paramount
to the claims of the dead This sounds
like the sound plain sense on which
law is supposed to be based, remarks
the Boston Herald. The man who still
monopolizes his property even after
death should have such post mortem
power of absorption taken by the law.

People Want to See.

When the speaker of the House
ordered that. body be more exclusive,
and he shut the doors of entrance to
all who did not have clear right to ad-
mission, he brought upon himself
trouble he had not expected and was
not prepared for. So many applica-
tions have been made for cards of ad-
mission that he has grown tired OF sign
ing his name, and has asked for rub
ber stamp to aid him in the work.
