Santa Barbaxa, Cal, March 31.-- Not having made an accounting of the estate for eighteen years Lady Frances Broome was, yesterday, ve moved by the court here as executrix of the $270,000 estate left her busband. Her eldest son. Thornhill, who petitioned the court for an aec- counting, was made special adminis- trator. Lady Broome is an Englishwoman whose eccentricities have long kept her in the public eye. She ignored the court order to have an attorney, say- ing- that she could find none she could trust. Other heirs of the estate are Amy, a daughter, and Montague, a son. The estate consists of 22,000 acres near Ventura, and property in Buxton, England. The family is well known in 'San Francisco, New York, and London. Mrs. Broome lost considerable pro- perty here on her refusal to be amen- able to American law procedure. She allowed her home in the city to be sold rather than pay $450 for street work. Since then $17,500 has been refused for the property. During this row with the contractor Mrs. Broome was sentenced to one hour in jail, which was served. Again she allowed a $6,000 house to go by default. She also lost a carriage rather than pay a court reporter's lall, . Thornhill Broome says his mother disinherited him and refuses to speak to him, "Lord" Broome died in 1891. rr MEAL TIME MISERIES.

I tried several so- called indigestion cures, but they did me no good. My general health began to run down. I suffered from head- aches and dizziness and pains about the heart. Often after the lightest meal I would be afflicted with a smothering sensation. Finally my mother induced me to try Dr. Wil- liams' Pink' Pills.

Toronto Star. \ Until recently the cost of a great battleship was about five million dol-! lars. The coset of a vessel of the Dreadnought type is ten millions, and it is said that calculations of naval strength based upon any other esti- mate than Dreadnoughts are useless. Where is this progress to end? Ten years hence the Dreadnoughts may be rolegated to the rear, and the new type may cost twenty millions instead of ten millions. Such a race means bankruptcy for any but the very it has undoubtedly lod to action. Henceforth there is to be not only a regular visitation of the schools, but a regulag report of each upon' the conditions in a prescribed form, which calls for candid comment.

Peter Veregin's criticism, that the land homesteaded but not earned by individual Doukhobors might usefully ' have been left part of their area for communistic settlement, is misdirected. This country has had all the ex- perimentation with communal institu: | tions it desires to try, and it prefers to leave the present communities to' the wear and tear of time. The les- son from the Mennonite villages in Southern Manitoba is not encouraging and it will be surprising if after the lapse of another generation the Douk- hobor communities do not show signe of disintegration. For better or for worse the constitution of Canadian wciety is individualistic, and the shadow does not go back on the dial. , at variance with the stockholders ¢x-p Big And Prosperous, Watertown, N.Y., Times. Canada, for instance, has already a strong national sentiment. Its de- pendence on Great Britain for defence is about all. that ties it to the mother country. If it had its own navy it would not feel dependent for anything, but might become entirely indepen- dent. Indeed, that is very likely to be the final effect of such a movement. As a matter of fact, Canada ought to be an independent nation. It is big enough and prosperous enough to stand alone. ree B. A. Hotel Arrivals. { A. C. Mott, Belleville; \F. C. Mac- | kenzie, J. B.

Insurance companies should not be allowed to bar suicide or anything else. The moment they take a pre mium, they should be responsible for the specilied amount of contracted value.
