A TESTAMENTAUY SERMON.
Remarkable Provision In the Last
Will of a California Lawyer.
Tho will which a man leave may
be safely taken as aa exposition of
his character and as an Index to the
biwlneaa way of hla life. In aharp
contraat to the late James O. Fair"
will, with all lu evidence of cvnl-
dsm, suspicion, possibly revenge, and
Certainly small respect for the law
and for tho Integrity of the courts, I
tlio will of Alfred Barstow, an Oak
land lawyer who recently died. It 1
true that be left an estate of onlv
f20.ooo. Whlch look Insignificant In
comparison with Mr. Fair, but that
make no difference when we analyze
the essentials. Mr. Itarstow was a
kindly, modest, generou man of
more titan ordinary ability. Ills home
life wa Ideal for It sweetness, har
mony and comfort, and the high
worth of the parents and of the home
which they made Is generously reflect
ed In that of tbelr children. But It
I better that Mr. Bar tow' character
should be read In bis will, which con
tains the following unusual provision:
I desire my estate to be distributed
In accordance with tbe law of tba
state of California.
I desire my widow to be executrix
of this will, and that no bond 1 re
quired of her In any proceeding grow
ing out of her trust I authorise and
empower her to sell any and all real
or personal property belonging to my
estate at private or public sale, with
out tho order of any court or tribunal,
and thnt alio have as full and free
right of dlKMie!tlon thereof a though
the title or all said property vested In
her, and my only object In making
this will I to facllltato Uie settle
ment of my estate.
I think that no man should have the
Iower to go farther than this. I do
not believe the dead should meddle
with the quick. When a person la
once comfortably laid away, let him
cease from trouble, and let the living '
carry on the business of life. Very
probably the dead one will have all
he can attend to If the "religious doc
tors' are half right as to the "truths"
they hand ont
The novelty of this remarkable will
lies In the first and third paragraphs,
as the provisions of the second are
not uncommon, if this will doe not
discover a particularly lofty character
wo havo read the riddle of human na
ture In vain. Its first element Is a
dignified respect for tbe law and faith
tu the honesty of the courts. It sec
ond Is the peculiar third paragraph,
which, iH-sides sustaining In spirit the
first paragraph, calmly lay down the
rule of couduct for others, making all
who may read and heed It the bene
ficiaries of Its provisions. Even' the
grim and somewhat Irreverent humor
of tbe last sentence carries a lesson.
The last paragraph give the neces
sary Inference that tbe maker of
will has no rtgbt to leave his property
for any purposes other than those
specified in the laws of the state,
riieso laws were framed principally
to serve in the case of those who die
Intestate. Mr. Baretow's only tarla
tlon from their provisions Is the relief
of his widow from bonds and tbe
handling and disposition of the prop
erty by her without the supervision
of the courts. Tbat he should be less
lenient than the law and show a
greater confidence In the widow with
reforence to the rights and interests
ot the children Is a private matter
with him and her and is one with '
which tbe public Is not concerned.
