Long Litigation Ended

The final chapter In litigation that has
been pending in the courts of this State
for about five years over the estate, real
and personal. of the late Sarah w. Hen
erickson, deceased. of New Egypt, was
ended on Tuesday by the fling In the
Court of Errors aud Appeals of opinions
affirming the opinions given in the Court
of Chsncery by then Vice Chancellor. now
Chancellor, Walker In the suits Richard
G. VAIN against John Meirs, John Wilson
and Ellen Hendrickson. and the same
person, as administrator of Sarah w.
Hendrickson, against the same defend
ants.
The charge Of complaint In each case
was that the late Mrs. Hendrickson had
not been indebted to Wilson and Mrs.
Richardson In the amounts mentioned 10
the deed she gave to Wilson for all her
property, real and personal. In which she
reserved life estate to herself and pro-
3ided for the payment of her debt to Mrs
Richardson; that she was mentally infirm,
and that she had been imposed upon. The
decisions hold that Mrs. Hendrickson was
indebted to Wilson and Mrs. Richardson,
that she was in her right mind, and that
she made an excellent arrangement where
by she secured to herself the benefits to
be derived from her property as long as
she lived. though her Indebtedness nearly
equalled the value Of the property con-
veyed. The opinions also hold that she
herself retained and directed her nephew
John Meirs in the preparation of the con-
veyance, and that the advice given by
him to her was for her benefit.

One of the features of the city Of
Caracas. Venezuela. that most strongly
impresses a foreigner is the rapidity
with which a crowd gathers In the
streets. This is best exemplified when
some of the many wandering musi-
clans, in whom Caracas abounds, pre-
pare to give an impromptu open air
concert. Their first notes no sooner
echo through the neighborhood than
there gathers to listen a vast throng
that almost blocks up the thorough
fare. The cobblers and all the other
tenants of the entries. having no doors
to open or stairs to descend. are on
the spot almost instanter. They eager
ly drink in the music, but at the same
time bear wary eye upon the hats of
the musicians and no sooner do they
observe the slightest indication that
one is about to be taken off for the
purpose of taking up a collection by
passing 1t around among the crowd
than they disappear even more quickly
than they came.

"In view Of the number of sittings
Whistler wanted and his severe treat

she should have continued through two

which she was painted wearing a

The Orpheum Players at the conclusion
of the week of November 23d, in presen-
tation for the first time at popular prices
on any stage of 1.-THE Avalanche" at the
Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia,
has added to their career as leaders in
catering to the amusement going public
in most deserved1y excellent offering as
to cast, production and play, leaving but
little to be wished for on the part Of the
audiences of well filed houses at every
performance.
That "The Great Divide" which is to
be given for Thanksgiving week, will
repeat the splendid record already estab-
lished, seems an assured fact. The play
had six or more consecutive months run
in New York, and everywhere produced,
has proven a great moneygetter, rare
realism of Western camp life in Arizona,
serving to introduce a number of we'll
known characters, strong situations and
elaborate scenic effect, together with love
