Mr. Fair, during his lifetime after his mar riage, gave large sums of money to his wife. She thus came to have quite a little fortune of her own. Her near relatives all live in tbe towns of Orange and Plalntleld, New Jersey. They were in moderate means, but she estab lished two brothers in business, provid ing grandly for her mother, and look ed after others of her relatives who were not far removed from tieing in destitute circumstances. All tbe mon ey and projierty which Mrs. Fair has in her own name she bas by will be queathed to these relatives. She has about $3(10,000 thus to make comfort able those who are fortunately related to her. This is all very cler in the eyes of the law and there will be no litigation concerning Mrs. Fair's own money, but an interesting question arises as to who died liefore the other in the auto mobile accident, Mr. or Mrs. Fair. If it can lie established that the husband preceded the wife In his departure from life, then Mrs. Fair became tbe sole heir, and she was named as bis exe cutrix. Just then, perhaps it may have been for only a minute or two, her wealth was Increased from a few hundred thousand dollars to several million dollars, estimated from five to ten million dollars. Being the possess or of this great fortune might not have been able to quiet the pangs of death, or to have given any solace to her in the dying hour, but it means or does not mean great wealth to her relations In those New Jersey towns, whether she or her husband died just a few minutes before the other.

Many readers have from time to time requested information eoneerning newspaier suliscrlptioii laws. Seven have been compiled from decisions of the United States court, and embody points that bother many liewsjmper publishers. The seven are: 1. Sulweriliers who do not give ex press notice to the contrary are con sidered as wishing to renew their suli scrlptlons. 2. If sulwcriliers order the discon tinuance of their periodicals the pub lisher may continue to send them un til all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the post- office to which they are directed they are responsible until they have settled their bills ami ordered then' discon tinued. 4. If subscribers move to other places without informing tiie publish er, and the papers are sent to the form er address, they are held responsible. 5. I'he courts have decided that re fusing to take periodicals from the of fice or removing and having them un called for is prima lueie evidence of In tentional fraud. (i. If siibserils-rs pay in advance they are bound to give notice at tbe end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it, otherwise the pub lisher is authorized to send it and the subscrilter Le responsible until an ex press notice, with payment of all ar rearages, is wnt to the publisher. 7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest any one for fraud who takes a paer and refuses to pay for it. Under the law the man who allows his subscrii tlon to run along for some time unpaid and then orders it discontinued, or orders the postmaster to mark it "re fused" and have a postil card sent notifying the publishers, leaves him self liable to arrest and fine, tbe same as for theft. , It w l II be seen that many disputed points are dlsisised of by these decis ions, which are certainly only Just. If 11 subscriber doesn't want to renew his subscription let him notify the publisher. The second decision given here will be a surprise to some pub lishers, who lielieve they must stop a delinquent subscriber's paper if ordered to. The delinquent must pay up if he desires to discontinue his subscription. Otherwise he is held responsible for as long as the paper is being sent to him, whether be takes it from the postolllee or not. Newspaperdom. A ('.nod Start.
