AN ODD CORPOBATION. WHAT MRS. MARY TYLER DID TO SAVE HER HEIRS TROUBLE. - Sb Trmfarrd 'HfcHy' Atl liar Property to M lnrprftt4l Organization Cttllad "Tbo- Tjrter ' Eatat" Bl ICatat In ml Cits. Among the property items which the eity is trying to acquire title to for the proposed Ninth regiment armory in Fourteenth street ia a lot belonging u the Tyler estate. The Tyler estate is a novelty anion the corporation of the country. It is not the estate of a de ceased person, as one- would naturally infer from the title,' but ia the estate of a wealthy wen tern widow, who has had her real entate holding capitalized and a fetock company formed to take and hold the titles to it. Her object is said to be to so arrange thfftitles 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 her name and private history into the courts and he fore the nublic. The certificate of incorporation of the estate recites that it was organized un der the laws of Missouri as a corporation for manufacturing and business pur poses, and is called "The Tyler Ustate." It was organized under the legal advice and direction of Henry Hitchcock, of the St. Louis bar. a lawyer of that western city, who is said to have Hssnred his cli ent that the laws of Missouri authorized the organization and formal incorpora tion r.f real estate tf intorations. The founder and principal proprietor f the Tyler estate is iMra. Mary Law rence Tyler, widow ot Uouert lyler. ol Louisville She is said to be worth sev eral millions, principally in lands and iTonertv in this city. Philadelphia. Lou isville. St. Lonia and other places, all of which, however, siie has conveyed to the Tyler estate, taking the mode or the pe culiar corporation m payment. 1 he es tate is capitalized at 500.000. but that does not begin to represent the actual value of the property it owns. THB 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, 18S8, the time when the corpora tion was formed. One of the items is the lot in Fourteenth street, which ia wanted by the city for armory purposes, and the other is a business building and lot i& Crosby 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 city for the Fourteenth street lot and condemnation proceedings have there fore been begun, wherein the price will be fixed by a commission. Cut 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 estates to dispose of by will to prevent the quarreling of heirs over the manner in which the property has been distrib uted by the owner in his or her will, but this is the first instance ever heard of in which a private person, having no desire or intention of going into business, where some occasion for forming a limited lia bilitv corporation inicrht exist, has vol untarily had her property capitalized and represented in stocks and bonds. In some of the states corporations for the purpose of holding titles to real es tate are prohibited by law. New York is said to be one of these states and Illi nois another. But they are apparently sanctioned by the laws of Missouri, and the laws of this state permit the holding of title to real estate by any corporation organized under the laws of any other Btate. the laws of which authorize the existence of a corporation for the pur pose stated. HOW THE SCHEME MAY WORK. Who the present officer of the Tyler estate are could not be ascertained, nor any statement regarding the details of the organization whether the corpora tion has more than one executive officer, how the property is managed by the officers, or in what manner transfers of real estate belonging to such a corpora tion could be made so as not to affect the value of its shares or to impair the secur ity of the bonds. How long a life such a corporation could have is a question, furthermore, which no lawyer could an swer offhand. But it is claimed for it that the prop erty can in this manner l held together for long periods of years, whereas, un der Ordinary conditions, no sooner is a wealthy person's will filed for probate than a long contest begins in the courts between the various heirs over the man ner of its distribution among them. By incorporating, aa Mrs. Tyler has done, it is declared that all trouble of this character is done away with. The testatrix wills not her property, but a certain number of shares of her estate to each heir, who is limited by uis op portunities to either accept or reject them. This, however, still leaves the contesting heirs opportunities to fight over the distribution of the shares. But Mrs. Tyler exict to get the bet ter of this class of heirs by giving away the shares to the persons she desires to have them before her demise. The cor poration, as said, is a novel one, but, like the trust, may prov to be only the forerunner of many wnich will be or ganized as soon as the legal status of the Tyler estate shall hav been passed upon by some competent l;al tribunal.

If you look at a human hair under the microfcopo you will find that its surface is formed of successive overlapping scales. The bristles of the hog bear much resembles to the human hair, though their diameter is greater and the tileliko scales are much finer. Sheeps hair has much coarser scales. It if owing to the existence of these scales that a schoolboy is able by a peculiar process to tell which is the tip and which the other end of a hair, rolling it be tween his finger and thumb. Thus manipulated, the hair always travels in the direction of the base, because the edges of the 6cales prevent it from going the other way. Interview in Washing ton Star. Tne Cultivated Oyster.
