Our gre^t sale of is now in progress, and we hope to close out the entire stock by January .ist, if low prices on good goods consti tute any attraction. We have had an immense trade the past week in Over coats, but in consequence of new arrivals in this deparment, we are still prepared to offer you ( a stock that cannot be equaled in variety, and at prices that you will be sure to find agreeable to the times. We have some special at tractions in We want to close out a big lot of these before removal,and will offer at prices that will be sure to move them rapidly. Bring on the boys and fix them up. It is predicted that we are to have an unusually severe winter, so I give you good advice: Take care of the boys’ comfort and save big doctor’s bills. “An ounce of prevention is worth about a ton of cure.

She Trmnif.rred .furl, All Her Property to an Incorporated Organisation Called -The Tyler Estate”— Real Ketate la Several Cities. Among the property Item* which the city ia trying to acquire title to for the proponed Ninth regiment armory in Fourteenth street is a lot lielonging to the Tyler estate. The Tyler estate la a novelty among the corporations of the country It is not the estate of a de ceased person, ns one would naturally niter from the title, but is the estate of a wealthy western widow, who has had her real estate holdings capitalised and a stock company formed to take and hold the titles to it Her object is said to be to so arrange the titles to her property that when she comes to dispose of it by her will there will be the least possible opportunity left to disappointed relatives to contest her will and drag ber name und private history into the courts and Vfcre the piiblfo. The certilicute of incorporation of the estate recites that it was organised un der the laws of Missouri as a corporation for manufacturing and business pur pose^ and is called “The Tyler Estate." It was organised under the legal advice and direction of Henry Hitchcock, of the 8t Louis bar. a lawyer of thht western city, who is said to bare assured his cli ent that the laws of Missouri authorised the organization and formal incorpora tion of real estate corporations. The founder and principal proprietor of the Tyler estate is Mrs. Mary Law rence Tyler, widow of Robert Tyler, of Lonisville. She is said to be worth sev eral millions, principally in lands and property in this city, Philadelphia, Lou isville, St Loots and other places, all of which, however, she has conveyed to the Tyler estate, taking the stock of the pe culiar corporation in payment The es tate is capitalised at $300,000, bnt that does not begin to represent the actual value of the property it owns THE LAW IN SEVERAL STATES. The real estate records of this county show the transfer of two pieces of prop erty to the estate by Mrs. Tyler in Feb ruary, 1888, the time when the corpora tion was formed. One of the items is the lot in Fourteenth street, which is wanted by the city for armory purposes, and the other is a business building anil lot In Urosby street, between Broome and Spring streets. The city authorities and the representatives of the estate could not agree upon the price to .be paid by the dty for the Fourteenth street lot and condemnation proceedings have there fore been began, wherein the price will be fixed by a commission. Bnt the principal interest In the affair attaches to the corporation itself.. Many devices have been resorted to in times past by wealthy people who had large estate* to dispose of by will to prevent the qosrreiiDg of heirs over the manner in which the property has' been 'distrib uted by the owner in his or her will, bnt this tathe Bnt instance ever beard of In which a private person, having no desire or intention of going into business, where some occasion for forming a limited lia bility corporation might exist, bos vol untarily bad her property capitalized and represented in stocks snd bonds. In some of the states corporations for the purpose of holding titles to real es tate are prohibited by law. New York ia aatd to be one of these states and Illi nois another. Bnt they are apparently sanctioned by the laws of Missouri, and the laws or this state permit the holding of title to real estate by any corporation organised under the laws of any other state, the laws of which authorize the existence of a corporation for the pur- pose stated. . , , HOW TIW SCHBU MAY.WORK. Who the present officers of the Tyler estate sre could nor be ascertained, ndr any statement regarding the details of the organisation—whether the corpora, tion has more than one executive officer, bow the property is managed by the officers, or in what number fHrijtfere of real estate belonging to'such a co . tion could be made so as not to affect the valne of ita shares or to impair the aecnr. tty of the bonds How long a life snch a corporation could have is a question, furthermore, which no lawyer bonk] an swer offhand. But it is claimed for it that the prop erty can in this manner be held together for long periods of years, whereas, un der ordinary conditions, no sooner is s wealthy person's will filed for probate than a tong contest begins in the courts between the vsriona heirs over the man ner of ita distribution among them. By incorporating, as Mrs Tyler has done, it ia declared that all trouble of this character is done away with. Tbs testatrix wills not ber property, bnt s certain number of shares of ber estate to each heir, who is limited by bit op portunities to either accept or reject This, however, still lean* the contesting heirs opportunities to fight over the distribution of the shares. Bnt Mrs. Tyler expects to get the bet ter of this class of heirs by giving sway the shares to the persons she desires to hare them before ber demise. The cor poration, as said, is a novel one, bnt, like tbs trout, may prove to be only the forerunner of many which will be or ganized as soon as the legal statue of the Tyler estate shall have been passed upon by some competent legal tribunal—New York Time*.
