ESTATE MUST
PAY IT BACK
DECISION IN MATTER OF
NEBAL EXPENSE.
FTT-
Judge Vosburg Rules That a Daugh
ter Who Paid the Expense of Her
Father's Funeral Is Entitled to Re
cover the Same from His Estate.
Question Arose in the Hatter of the
Account of Joseph. Stuart, Execu
tor Under the Will of Charles Stu
art, Deceased.
Judgo A. A, Vosburg handed down an
opinion yesterday in orphans' court in
the matter of the estate of Charles
Stuart, deceased. It is as follows:
Aflir shins luc, tinu-lv and Icpil notice by
liuI'licMtion, (.re Irs., tho account of Joseph
hitnrt, executor under tlic will of Clurlrs htuait,
clrtrauil, curio up for audit before mo at tbe
rrpbjns' court Mom, city of hiranton, county
of Liickannnni and Hjtc of rciuisjhania, on Fri
clay, March 'JUt, 1002, at 10 a. in,, and at other
KnWqucnt times in ircordancr ith contin-inner--.
It appeirs irom the evident c that the
Ir.'Utor lived wtli his daughter, Jiiry A. CVil.
I.ns (or some time prior to hii death, and that
after his ilcec.w, flic, nitliout ronMiltiiii; tlie
rxriutrn, mule airjivcnn nil for hii) burial, and
pild the futitr.il cpen-e.j. She now prevents
rlaun against the fund for distribution for the
money to paid by hei, ainountim; to one hundred
and tui'hc dollars and Hie cent.. The eweutor
re'isls the allow jiico of this claim, for ttvu rca-i-nni:
First Ilceaiisp he allege;! it it as a tolun
dry payment- undo by a volunteer and tint
therefore it cannot he ictotercd back. Second
Hei-an-u the claimant itceited from the testator
prior to his death, a turn of money considerably
larger than the amount now claimed.
There is no doubt that the general nilo of law
is that uo implied promise to pay arises where a
pirly makes a payment oluntarily, and without
nny legal liability or compulsion, in discharge of
n debt or liibility of another. Clark on Con
II acts, pp. 7t0-TCl-7b3. See llehn ts Helm, i-'3
T.1., 415. Breneman's Appeal, 121 Pa., p. CIS.
Hut there scemi to be un exception to this gen
eral rule, where funeral rxpcnsni arc paid by
Jircmbcrs of the family, without coiiMjUin? the
executor. There arc decUions wlihh hold that in
nieh cases an Implied promise upon the part of
the executor or administrator arlbcs, to Trpay the
peiton who makes advances of this character';
u rid tho reason for such an c.TCtplion is xery ap
parent. In most cases, no administrator is appointed
until after the funci.il, and tten if there is a will
in whiih an executor is nnined, this instrument
is not usually read until tho burial Is otcr. Ne
.sarlly, therefore, fonic member of the family
must make arrangements fur the funeral, arid in
contracting a bill for the expenses thereof, it is
perfectly just and cquitiblc that be should lie
iii-ld to be actliis under implied, authority from
the executor or administrator. In Francis' Est,,
75 l'a,, !!2t), the widow paid the funeral expenses,
and it rtw held that she una entitled to reeoter
the amount no paid, from the estate. See also,
- Williams an Executors (1S37) 8,' D. Burke's Kat
fit W. N. C)., 8110. Tills disposes of the lirst ob
jeetion. The second one is not fully sustained by
the evidence, and I will not dwell upon it.
Another Mirntlon ailses, xlz: Whether or not
the orphans' court has Jurisdiction to pass upon
this claim, a suit lilting been biuuicht to recover
it in tho court of common pleas. Ordinarily,,, be
tween courts of concurrent jurisdiction, the one
in which proceodlnss are lirst begun, thereby
. ncqulres exclusive Jurisdiction of the subject mat
ter thereof. Oher xs. Gallagher, 95 V, 8., 190,
Cletclaud vs. Eric, 1 Urant 212. Powers xs.
Council, 110 Mass., SI.
It has been held, However, that while the Juris
diction, of tho orphins' court and tho court of
lonimon pleas Is concurrent to establish a dolt
againbt un estate, (Prlngle vs. I'rlnarle, lit) li
M.), the jurisdiction of the orphans' court to as
certain tho amount of the decedent's property
out to order distribution is exclusive. Welmer
vs. Karch, IM l'a,, 385. I am therefore of the
opinion that I may consider and piss uon this
claim, although a eult is now pending in the
court of common picas to recover it, but that
said ui tion thouhl be dKontjnucd iiKn the adju
lllcation of the claim in tho orphans' court, to
tlix there rnay not be two iceoverles of it,
I therefore award the fund for' distribution (at
tci deducting, as preferred claims, u counsel fee
t of ten dollars to the counsel for tho executor or
Krvlces at the audit, and the fees duo the rltik
ot the orphans' court, of nine dollars), to alary
A. Collin. ! upon the condition, houttcr, that she
flrt dlicontlnue of record the suit in the court
of cou.inou pleas, and file tho certificate of the
protbonotary that such case litis been discon
tinued, wllli the clerk of the orphans' court,
wjthln twenty days from the filing of this adju
dication. Jf exceptions ore filed to this report,
then tho claimant may withhold tuch dis i
continuance until tlrs taid exceptions shall hate
been disposed of by the court, but shall not be
entitled to receive from the executor any part of
her claim hereby allotted, until the suit In the
court of common pleas fliall hate been discon
tinued, and the prothonotary's certificate of such
discontfnuanici. duly Hied with the clerk of this
court. ,

tricltles consists In giving the Filipino
children real education. The superin
tendent of public education In the Phil
ippines, Fred W. Atkinson, writes In
the Outlook;
'The majorfty of the school cWMren
como from ignorant homes, where there
aro none of tho accessories and means
of culture. A small but Important
class of Filipinos, those who possess
wealth and culture, while not opposing
Tinnnlni- prliiontinn. fnvnr nlnns fni-
popular education, favor plans for
higher education. On tho other hand,
tho masses, for wham elementary edu
cation Is intended, are ever In danger
of misprizing Its benefits, Flno wotds
are heard from local presidents, but
v.lth many their deeds prove that their
words servo only to conceal their
thoughts.
"In spite of these and other difficul
ties, all tho superintendents and the
great majority of the American teach
ers are enthuslnstlovnnd optimistic as
to tho ultimate outcome, A progres

siderable number of Filipino teachers,
who aro given, wherever there Is an

"Almost without exception, tho teach

are willing to submit to minor discom

HEALTH OF MANILA.

I The boari1 of hea,th returns go
to
show ti very satisfactory condition of
things In Manila from a sanitary point
of view. Today the city Is freer from
sickness, In the form of contagious dis
eases, than It has been ut nny time In

Is highly gratifying, and goes to show
what good work the health authorities
ure doing In keeping tho city clean,
and thus preventing sickness.
They still have tho same old difficulty
to contend with, however, In tho rooted
objection so many householders have
to catching and turning over tho rats
found In their premises, In case a
plague rat bhould appear amongst
them, and their domestlo uulet be up
set by the board's cleunslng and disin
fecting process. Others object to Inoc
ulation, nnd wnsto half tho time of tho
public vaccinators urgulng tho ciuentloii,
and caublng considerable delay In their
woik, which Is no light tnsk. The
Chinos aro generally tho best patients
In this regard, looking upon It as a
huge Joke, gotten up for their special
benefit, and start to laugh and bare
their arms as soon as they see the vac-
' rlnator coming, afterward Jabbering
like monkeys, us thoy compare the
marks of tho needle pricks on each
other's arms.
All the worst of the shacks have now
been cleaned out in the walled city,
and the work of exploration and In
spection Is going on dally, keeping tho
Inspectors busy from morning to night,
and the difference In the appearance of
the city now as compared with even
one year ago Is most marked.
