Who Died First.
Cbas. Fair and wife were killed last
Thursday in an automobile accident in
Paris. An Interesting will case, in all
probability, will be the result. 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.

Dear Sir: You sell a good many
things by the gallon. .Being a decent
man, you give full measure.
You know what we mean: you know
tint short weight and short measure
Bre common among well, we hope
there are 110 short measures and
weights in your town.
There are, though. Ribbons and
laces and trimmings, sold by the "doz
en," measure nine or ten yards. There
is no complaint, because "they all do
it." You have the same plague in
your goods nearly everything, canned
or Isittled, cheats in the quantity. Al
most nobody gives full weight in a
factory-package! ,
We are one of the almost nobodies.
We sell paint, by the gallon, to paint
your house; ami our gallon is just the
same size as yours that you measure
vinegar with 231 cubic inches.
Good paint too Devoe lead and zinc
wears twice as long as old-fashion
painter's paint lead ami oil.
You own a house. That's why we
are writing to yon.

Subscription Laws.
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.
