The firat court in Venango County
was held, Dec. 10, IHO3, and at a specal
meeting of the Venango County Bar
Association. • held on Wednesday, in
pursuance of a call issued by the presi
dent, Hon. James Denton Han COCK, it
was decided to arrange Jfor the proper
observance of the 100 th anniversary of
the establishment of the courts of Ve
nantro county. By direction of the meet
ing, a committee of five was constitn
ed to make the arrangements, and the
president appointed Judge C. Heydrick,
Judge George S. Criswell, J. H. Osmer,
Isaac Ash and F. W. Hayes. The date
for the affair has not yet been decided
upon.
The lawyers of Pennsylvania are all
interested in a decision made by the
State Supreme Court, last month in a
case in which a woman, although alive,
was declared, legally dead. The de
cision reverses the opinion of the super
ior court and the common pleas court
of Berks county, which declared an act
of IHBS unconstitutional. A number of
of similar cases have been pending.
The litigation was started in Reading,
Pa., when the Berks county orphans
court, under the act of 1885, declared
that Mrs. Margaret Cunnius, of Read
ing, who in IXBB had disappeared and.
being not beard of afterward was legally
dead. This was done in 1H97. she had
a dower interest in some property and
the money was paid to the administra
tors. In 1899 intelligence came from
SanFraneisco that the woman was alive
and living there. She employed Attor
ney Caleb J. Bieber, of Reading, to re
cover her dower interest. Suit was
brought and Jndge G. A. Endlishdecid
ed that the woman was alive and entit
led to her dower. The case was appeal
ed and the superior court sustained
Judge Endlish. Again the defendant
appealed and this time was sustained by
the supreme court. The case attracted
widespread attention in this and other
States,, becanse of the legal principle
involved -the right of courts to deprive
persons of their property. Under the
act of 1 KBr», after an absence of seven
years without any intelligence being re
ceived of a missing person, the courts
may appoint an administrator of the
missing person's estate, and the person
be adjudged legally dead. The com
mon pleas and superior courts in decid
ing that the woman was alive held that
the act of 1W was in opposition to the
fourteenth amendment of the United
States, and therefore void. Since the
act of 1885 has been in force several
adjudications have deen made under it
in Western Pennsylvania. Under the
ruling of the supreme court these pro
ceedings can be revoked by the parties
interested through due process of law.

A New and Important Departure
in Savings Deposits
The Security of Government
Bonds. Higher Interest—
Unique Features—Negoti
able— Transferable-
Private enterprise has gone a step be I
yond the Government and supplements I
the safety and convenience of Govern
ment Bonds with more liberal interest
and other special, distinctive features.
The Dollar Savings Fund & Trust
Company, Allegheny, Pa., issues Coupon
Certificates of Deposit, in denomina
tions of $500.00 and $1,000,00, due in five
years and bearing interest at the rate of
four per cent, per annum.
The principal is payable at any inter
est period by giving 60 days notice in
writing to the Company. Interest pay
able January Ist and July Ist. Attach
ed to these engraved Bonds are Interest
Coupons in regular form, to be cut off
and collected in the usual way.
The Bonds bear interest from date of
issue; more liberal than ordinary Sav
ings Deposits, which allow interest only
from Ist of each month, and do not per
init withdrawal without lengthy notice;
then, only, with loss of interest to the
depositor if withdrawn at other than
the regular interest periods. The cer
tigcates are payable to bearer, with pro
vision for registration of principal, and
are transfarable. Out-of Town Deposi
tors will find them admirably conveni
ent and satisfactory investments for
surplus funds. Interest is collectible
through home banks, or by mail; the
certificates are negotiable, and may lie
nsed as collateral to their full face
value. The al>solute security of these
Bonds is guaranteed by the Capital &
Surpl us of over $2,050,000. 00. The repu ta
tion of the Dollar Savings Fnnd & Trust
Company is well known and the names
of its Officers and Trustees, headed by
its President, R. H. Boggs, of the well
known firm of Boggs & Buhl, include
men >f the highest standing in the
financial world.
