IRELAND HAS A
 REMARKABLE TRIAL

Dublin, May 27.-(speclal)- judges and lawyers consider the most remarka-
 ble will case was tried before the lord chief justice of Ireland here recently.
 Back in 1S4S family named Brazil which
 had lived in Limerick emgrated. Ed
 mund, the head, took with him two sons,
 Patrick and William, to South Wales. Edmund and William later went to the United States, but Patrick remained near Swansea carried on the trades of picture | framer and mattress maker. This Pat | rick, it Is said, was rather eccentric; and because he was chaffingly called | Paddy from Ireland" changed his. | Christian name from Patrick to James | (which helped to cause some of the sub | sequent probate trouble) after which it appears, his local sobriquet became
 Jimmy the Braces" The two branches
 of the emigrant Irish family thus pur- sued their widely separated courses-one in Glamorganshire, the other at St. Louis, U. s. A., and in the end James
 Brazil. returning to his native place
 to end his days, died at cousins home in Bailylanders, Limerick. A suit fol- lowed about his will, and a very curious
 state of things happened A Welsh fam ily only by a coincidence named Brazil, set up a case as next-of-kin that testator did not know and approve the contestants of the will. But their alleged relation ship was all mistake; they were Pro- testants and never had any connection with Ireland, whereas testator was Cath ollie. It was an honest mistake, and the
 result of their litigation was to leave the estate to be divided among whoever
 were the next of kin This is how the
 mistake was rectified: A member of the
 genuine American branch of the family
 went to Ireland. He had very few of
 the family documents. But when the
 result of the suit became known this
 mans brother sent him from the United
 States great box full of documents
 title, deeds, letters etc., which the old
 Edmund Brazil had all his life carefully
 preserved. As soon as the Welsh family
 perused these overwhelming proofs, they
 perceived that they were not entitled to
 the estate and that the real next of kin
 were the people in the United States three nephews and nieces, one of the
 latter being nun in the Good Shepherd
 convent St, Louis. Nothing remained but the legal formalties of setting the
 whole matter right, and that was Wnal
 happened in friendly arrangement m

 were technically defendants. ana tney

Washington, March Much as
many congressman may dislike to
return to Washington for an extra
session that bids fair to extend thru
the hot summer months, their grief
Is not greater than that of the en-
ployees of the congressional library.
When congress is not in session,
a position in the big $4,000, 900 Ii
brary is more or less sinecure
Save for a few scattered students
the big reading rooms are practically
deserted. and the clerks have a hard
time finding work to occupy them
But when the statesmen and near
statesmen get busy, things are diff
ferent. Then the library clerks earn
every cent of their salaries and more
besides. There are constant calls for
copies of the old Congressional
Globe" which was the name the pres
ent Record" went by half CEN
tury ago. Unusual books tucked in
out of the way places are demanded
and the employees declare they en-
counter few congressman in whom
patience is a noticeable virtue.
