In this piece, Miss Burke has a very different kind of part to play from the madcap little French bride she inn personated last season in Love Watches Here she is a young and pretty widow, the owner of a brew cry, with s30O, ,OO0 a year income. She has fallen in love with penniless young fellow and she thinks he returns her affection. He doesn't propose, tho, and so, being used to getting what she wants when she wants it, she pops the question to him. And newell, he refuses her! Of course, he does or there wouldn't be any play. The play tells how the widow finally captures him. And the New York papers say Miss Burke is more charming than ever in this whimsical character. The supporting company, too is of the best Seats are now selling.

HEIRS TO GET SHARES
Of The Large Residuary Estate OF The
Late George P. Whitaker

The full bench o. the Circuit Court
has reached decision in the matter
of the trust estate OF the late George
!. Whitaker, amounting now to S27o,-
sos. Mr.. Whitaker died in 1891 and
by his will devised to his executors
$50 shares of the Whitaker Iron Com
pany, Of Wheeling, w. Va, the divi-
dends from which were to be applied
to the benefit OF his widow, the resi-
duary estate TO be drawn upon to sup
ply any deficiency that might arise at
any time. Sixteen accounts have been
stated by his executors but one OF
whom, Joseph Coudon, survives, and
the dividends have not only supplied
the widow but surp!us OF $27o,5o5 .6a
has been accumulated. Mrs, Caroline
Updegraff, a granddaughter OF Mr..
Whitaker, had repeatedly sought to
obtain a distribution OF the surplus
by the Orphans Court, which was re-
fused, and finally with other heirs, filed
bill i'll equity. praying lor diStrbu-
ton OF the residuary estate OF the tes
tator among his lcgatces and devisees.
1t was also sought to have Mrs. Whit
akcr make discovery Of IN antc-rup-

of the trust estate. The matter was
argued al The September term by
Messrs. James NJ Munroc and John
s. Strahorn, OF Annapolis, ioi the
complanans, on demurrers entered
by Messrs. Fred T. Haincs and George
a. Bake, counsel for Mrs. Whitaker
and the executor, Mr.. Coudon The
Court overrulcd the demurrcrs, save
as to disclosure OF the widows ante
nuptial contract, and the decision, sigh
cd by Judges Pcarce. Adkins and Hop
per, in substance says that it was not
the intention OF the tcstator to tic up
his large esate for the uncertain tern
uf his widows life The dividends lor
nineteen years have more than met
the annual payments due Mrs. Whit
aker; also it is shown that no part OF
the rcsiduary estate need be drawn
upon to support the trust estate, and
it would be a hardship. not intended
by the tcStator, to deprive his remain

life of the widow Mr.. Whitaker's
