Trust COMPANIES NOW
CARE FOR MANY Wills

What is regarded as a new feature
in caring for Wills. is now in opera
ton among the trust companies of
Wilmington. i'm which the companies
place the documents in safe keeping
and deliver them TO the executors
when called for. A careful record of
these is kept so that It can be ascer-
tanned easily what last Wills and tes-
tanments are in safe keeping and
where they can be found.
This plan is carried on In most
cases without expense to the devisees.
The idea sprang from the tendency
among trust companies to assume
trusteeship over estates. many cases
occurring where trust companies
manage entire estates for deceased
persons. In some cases also, IL Is
pointed out. trust companies now are
receiving estates Of living persons in
trust In cases whore ordinarily the os-
tates would be conveyed to individuals
in trust.
This plan. II is pointed out is much
better than conveyance to individuals
i'm trust since there can be no compli-
cations in case of death as might hap
pen with individuals. because a trust
company never deceases.
A number of instances have hap
pencd recently where trust companies
have carried out transactions that
could not legally have been carried
out by individuals. These have been
cases where Wills we're left in safe
keeping and forgotten often for 9
number Of years by the makers until
called for by the heirs. The recent
case. where a will Of deceased per
son was taken from safe deposit
box by the Register Of Wills and
turned over TO the executor is de-
clared to be a case in point. the trans.
actions being unprecedented and
probably impossible Of carrying ou'
by an individual.

saving? How can you save daylight"
Jimmy's tone was incrcdulous.
Uncle Harry laughed
We'll, you can't save daylight as
you can save money he said. but
you can begin your day earlier and
make use of those early morning hours
instead of lying in bed until the sun
is high in the heavens. That's really
what daylight saving means"
Helen looked at Uncle Harry ques-
tiOningly. Then you mean" said she,
that Daylight saving is just another
way of saying getting up early!"
YES" ansVeied Uncle Harry.
Joe shook his head. Il don't see
how that will help he said, If you
should get up at six every morning
instead of seven, YOU would have to
wait just an hour longer for school to
open"
ON the other hand" replied Uncle
Harry, School would actually open
at eight o'clock instead Of nine All
the shops and stores would open for
business at seven o'clock instead of
eight. All the railroad trains would
run an hour ahead OF time. In fact.
all the business of the country would
be done just an hour earlier in the
day than formerly"
Put how in the world would it
be possible to get everybody to agree
TO get up an our eerlier and 10 do
everything an hour earlier than usual ?
Think Of making up all the time
tables over again, so that all the ten
o'clock trains would run at nine
o'clock, and so on" This from Jimmy.
81 can think OF something harder
than that. Think of trying to get all
the sleepyheads out of bed an hour
before they are used tC getting up.
And Joe laughed.
"Yct there is a very easy way OF
doing all this" said Uncle Harry.
Howl"
by merely setting all the clocks
one hour ahead. Then the boy who is
used to getting up at seven O'Clock
would really get UP an hour nearer
sunrise than previously. and the
railroad trains would run an hour
ahead of time. But nobody would no
tice II. because according to theii
watches and the town clock, they
would do things just as usual"
Then what would be the differ
ence?' asked Helen.
When we rise in the morning the
skies would be golden with the glory
Of the sunrise, and you would breathe
great lungfuls of brscing air on your

R. R. PAY FOR WORK
UHDONE OPPOSED
Western Roads Base Objec-
ton to Eight-Hour Law
on This Claim
SAYS EMPLOYEES NOW
SEEK 87PER CENT MORE

CHICAGO, Sept. 25-The basis Of
opposition to the eight hour law re-
Gently passed by Congress, which viii
result in litigation in an effort &c
prove it invalid, and possible more
serious consequences. is, according &c
the Association Of Western Railways
the question Of paying for work MOI
actually performed
In a statement issued by the eXecu'
tive committee of the association, an
ANALYSIS OF the payrolls OF tifty-si'
Western railways is given, purportint
to show that in one year they paid ST.
4o3. O3S.74 to engineers and firemen
for which no actual work was done
Continuing. the statement says
This pay for service not per-
formed was compulsory. not vol
untary.
The sole reason for it Is found
in the two little words, "or less
which are included in the wage
schedules of train service EN-
ployes.
Most of the present wage sched-
ules in freight service provide at
the outset that ten hours or less
100 miles or less, shall constitute
day"
The words "or less" make it
compulsory on the railroad to give
a full days pay at least to every
train service employee who is
called for duty" no matter how
short a time he may actually
work. whether he runs one mile,
or 100 miles.
The difference between the &C
tual mileage run or hours work
ed BY a train crew and the 100
mile minimum which must he
paid for is known as "construc-
tive mileage"
In the wage issue the train ser
vice employees demanded tull
davis nav for EIGHT hours or less,
100 miles or less"
The words cor less" prove alb
soIutely that the train service en-
ployes did not want real eight
hour day. as they claim, but that
they did want 70 be paid for eight
hours or less" the same wages
they get now for ten hours OF
less"
Thus the demand was really for
twenty-five per cent. more wages,
with a further increase in the
form Of time and a-half for over
time. or eighty-seven and half
per cent. more than the present
rate.
Specific cases are quoted in which
eleven engineers on Western roads
each earned over $4,000 in a year.
An engineer on the Atchison, Tope
ka and Santa Fe.. says the statement
in one month made 1894, running g.
hours per day. and for the year earne'
sc.S75.77. or an average Of S2Ss pc
month. An engineer on the Denve
and Rio Grande working twenty-sevel
days in one month earned s246.s6 il
freight service and S161o additional
Tor a round trip one day in passenge
service.
