Woolfolks' Vanity Fair ;
Big Success

Boyle Woolfolk's Vanity Fair ap-
peared at The Colonial last night be-
fore crowded house.
All that has been said of Jack
Trainor is true and then some, as he
proved to be a funny and accomplish
ed comedian not of the slap stick
variety but of the type that subtly
hits your funny bone.
The remainder of the cast were
well selected and all did their part
to make this the best musical show
that has hit town this winter.
Jack Fhppen, in black face part,
made hit and the music of the Rog-
ers sisters pleased the audience.
Several of the scenic effects evok-
ed applause, especially Mr.. Cater
more's Moorish villa at San Diego.

LENox COLLEGE WINS REQUEST,
Awarded Livingston Estate After
Three Trials in Court.

Eopkinton, Nov. es.-For the third
time Lenox College has won its title
to the Archie Livingston estate.
Judge Boise has decided that the
college is entitled to the property, the
town Of Monticello having defaulted
on the terms OF the will.
The case has been in the courts Tor
ten years.
Archibald Livingston was a recluse
in the last years Of his life, living on
his farm q few miles south OF Hopkin-
ton. He was a son OF one of the
earliest pioneers of the community
He hod made 2 will with severa!
codjcils. but all tending to show his
intent to ,eave his property for
benevolent purpose. Originally, he
LEFT his property IN trust to the city
OF Monticello for the founding OF a
hospital. Later he made the bequest
conditional upon the city raising a
certain sum OF money. He made an
other provision later that in the event
Of Monticello waving its rights or
falling to meet the conditions, the
property was to revert to Lenox Col
lege on condition that the college
raised So. 900. ..
Monticello chose to valve It's rights
and Lenox inaugurated a campaign
and raised the required $4,000 to
meet tho terms of the will. The
testator had at one time provided that
a thousand dollars Of the estate should
20 to James Livingston. his nephew,
but later James made an ARRANGEMENT
by which he elected to accept 500
cash in lieu Of the legacy, and
codicil also stated that fact. James
Livingston interested other members
Of the family and they Jointly at
tackled the validity Of the will, on the
ground that undue pressure was
| brought in favor OF the college.
The estate comprises 240 acres OF
land and few thousand dollars In
cash. It was estimated to be worth
| about $4,000 at the time Of Mr.. Liv-
ingston's death. The land has nat
| urally increased in value. but owing
to the wearyins court proceedings the
administrator has been Handicapped
in conducting the farm as he would
otherwise have done. o. Err'
