Smith Wilkinson VIII Case.

In the case of John +. Carpenter,
trustee of n portion of the estate of
Smith Wilkinson vs. Mary Il. Perkins
and Others, the Supreme court render
ed its decision on January 18th, us fol-
lows:
1.-The Superior Court is advised that
one moiety OF the trust fund, as il now
exists, on september so, 1908, became
absolutely vested, one-third in Mary
+. Perkins, one-third in the estate of
Francis w. Perkins, deceased, and
one third in the estate of Edmund Per-
kins, deceased; and that the other
moiety became thus vested, one-third
in the estate of Elizabeth IL. Mason;
one-third in the estate of Horace W.
Whitaker; and one third in the estate
OF Mary A. Mason
The facts in the case are substantial
ly as follows. Smith Wilkinson died
in 1852, possessed of the property now
owned by the Putnam Woolen Com
pany and large amount of other
property. BY the terms of his will
and codicil thereto, he gave and de
vised 10 his son Edmund two-fiflhs of
his estate absolutely. To three daugh-
tiers he gave the life use of the remain
ing three.tifths OF his property and ap.
pointed his son, Edmund, as trustee.
Previous TO his death, and after the ex-
ecntion of his will, enc daughter, the
wife of Edmund Perkins had died,
leaving three children, mentioned in
the above decision. On the death of a
daughter, the share To which the
mother had the life use WAS 10 be paid
over TO the surviving children of the
said daughters, in equal shares, unless
the mother by will directed a different
division among her children.
Nancy W. Mason died Sept. 30th,
1905, in Pomfret and was the last of
the daughters of smith Wilkinson,
leaving no children. although two had
been born to her. The amount of The
fund TO which she had the life interest
was upwards of $780, 900.
In case any daughter died without
leaving children, then her share vas to
go 10 the surviving daughters for life,
remainder TO their children.
The court decided that the children
of the sisters of Nancy Mason took
vested estates in the trust fund of
which Nancy had the life estate, AT
the time of the death of Smith Will
kinson, and subject 10 be Invested by
the survival of children of Nancy, and
that 1t made no difference that in some
cases the children of the sisters of
Nancy had been dead for many years
before the death of Nancy.
John F. Carpenter, Esq, of this city
is successor of Edmund Wilkinson
as trustee of the property in question.
Seven firms of lawyers represented the
different claimants against the estate.

SUGGESTION MADE BY
CITY OF EDINBURGH
Holyrood Palace to Be Restored as a
Memorial to the Late King
Edward.

Especial Cable 70 Herald Republican,
London. Sept. 3.-WhHe hundreds OF
suggestions Cmany OF them idiotic) are
pouring into the Mansion house I'm re-
gard to the form to be taken by Lon
don's memorial to King Edward. the
city Of Edinburgh has put forward one
which is likely to receive enthusiastic
support. The suggestion which, Il g
whispered. originated with Lord Rose
berry, IS that the ancient Stuart palace
Of Holyrood. so closely associated with
the unhappy Mary. queen of Scots.
should be completely restored and made
habitable. Lord Roseberry is said to
have approached King George on the
subject. and there is every reason to
believe that both the king and queen
would be willing to spend a week every
year in Edinburgh and hold court or
a ball in this interesting old palace, If
It were properly restored.
a representative committee with Lord
Roseberry at it's head has already been
formed and the Edinburgh society WO-
men are already talking breathlessIy OF
brilliant court functions. Queen Vic
toria had a horror OF HolyroOd palace.
which is said to contain in one OF its
enormously thick walls the body OF an
infant, who should by right have as
cended the British throne. A lady-in-
waiting, who mentioned tho legend to
the old queen, received a very severe
snubbinE and was told never TO mention
the subject again. while one Of the
officials who show visitors around the
palace was promptly dismissed when II
was found that he had been repeating
the story.
The alternative memorial scheme IS
the restoration or another Scottish PAL
ace, LinlithEow. but &c is practically
certain that the Holyrood scheme viii
be adopted. A very large sum Will be
required to make the palace sanitary
and to light and furnish 20 in royal
style. but Edinburgh contains many
wealthy citizens and no difficulty Is an
ticipated I'm raising the sum required.
The Scottish people are delighted at
King Georges decision 10 remain two
months at Balmoral. He likes the place
as much as his father dislilxed IL. and
there will be n succession Of init
mate friends staying at the castle for
the shooting and the fishing. King
Georges nearest neighbors are Admiral
Beatty. who married the daughter Of
Marshall Field. and Mr.. Sigismund
Neumann. the South African maEnate
The former will often be a guest at
Balmoral and society folk are anxious
ly waiting to see IL Mr.. Neumann will
also be favored. II is an open secret
that King George did not like the fin
anciers who surrounded his father and
that only very exceptional circum-
stances have induced him to remain OF
good terms with Sir Ernest Cassel.

BAD OUTLOOK FOR SPAIN

Madrid. Sept. 3.-The summer seems
fated to bring ill-fortune to Spain.
After last years troublous months OF
July and August. we have this summer

OF disturbances in Africa. one OF the
results of all this unrest IS that for
the past three weeks large bodies of
troops have been constantly on the
march from one threatened place to
another. and the summer holidays Of
the greater part Of the nation have
been greatly upset.
The position OF Senior Canalejas is ono
OF great anxiety. To carry out pro-
gram such as he has marked out for
himself demands a more united party
than any he possesses and a more
peaceful and better educated common
people than is to be found I'm Spain.
