\ “CRIPPLED BY FATE FTER OUSTING HIS | LAMED BROTHERS Strange Sequel to the Action of ' Arthur J. Mace, a Wealthy Manufacturer. | Had Turned Kinsmen Out of Home Left by Parents and Court Upheld Him. ‘The fact Night that Arthur J. has just been brought to by a strange prank of fate Mace, the wealthy manufac- turer of refrigerators and toys, who Fefused to permit his two crippled brothers to remain longer in his mag- nificent Williamsbridge home in March, _ 1908, now lies in that splendid manston, a hopeless cripple himself, A year after his two brothers left the home of their dead father and mother his back was Wroken by a fall and ne 18 now para lized from the waist down and entirely dependent for assistance upon a trained nurse who is constantly with him, The two brothers, Henry B, Mace and Edward H. Mace, have been suf- ferers from a peculiar nervous trouble “ince they were boys. It renders them practicaily ifelpiess and they are obliged to be constantly attended by trained nurses. When they go out they have to be wheeled in roller chairs, Their lower limbs are useless for purposes of locomotion. “HOW THE PARENTS PROVIDED oy FOR SONS BY WILL. When Levt H. Mace, the founder of the business which Arthur J. Mace ts now carrying on, died in 1896 he left a will by the terms of which each of the three brothers was to receive the iIn- éome from $100,000, ‘The residue of the te wa. left to the widow In trust. hen she died five years ago she set aside two funds of $50,000 each for the two crippled brothers and left the bal- ance of the estate, valued at $600,000 to hur J. Mace, who at that time was In perfect health. The home was also left to Arthur J. jace, but the furnishings were left to the three brothers jointly. In making these bequests Mre. Mace wrote the fol- towing clauses in the will: bs 1 desire to state to my beloved sons, Edward H. Mace and Henry B Mace, that as each of them received der the terms of the will of my loved husband, his father, the in- » come for life on an investment of $100,000, and as the health and ph cal condition of neither of my¥aon!

As my two sons, Henry B. Mace and Edward H. Mace, are physically @isabled, and as it is my will that a shome be kept for them and for my on, Arthur J. Mace, always where they may be together, if it ts thelr desire so to be, I give and bequeath to my said sons, share and share alike, all the furnishing in and about my dwelling house and farm tn Will- mebridge, New York City, used as @ residence by me, the same to be kept as far as possible intact and to ee used to furnish a home for my sont The two crippled brothers continued to occupy the beautiful Mace home at Willlamsbridge, with their attendants, until March, 1908, when Arthur J. Mace informed them that under the terms of the will he did not consider himself obliged to maintain them as well as fur- ni@h shelter for them. He objected to being obliged to keep the trained nurses, too, The two crippled brothers, who have the income from $300,000 tn their own nerse, loft the home and estabilshed yth maselves in comfortable quarters yearby. Barly in the present year A ght J, Mace brought proceedings ha\¥ the sections of the will quoted above construed by court and the two brothers were brought back from Flor- tde to testify. They had been spending the winter in the South Justice Bischoff, before whom the case was tried, has just handed down a de- eiston in which he decides that the tn- come allowed the two brothers 1s sut- ficient to pay all their expenses and that Arthur J| Mace is not required to ere for them.

Only a emall section of the island in the Eaet River, scarcely @ twentieth part of ¢he land, is now ecoupied by the workhouse, and peni- tentiary, and even these are to by re xoved elsewhere within five or ex years, A well known architect has been em- ployed to draw plans for the improve- ment and development of the island along hospital lines exclusively after the workhouse and penitentiary have made their exodus. The Home for the Aged and Infirm will also be removed. In order to complete the change in name a bil] will have to be passed by the Legislature. Mr. Drummond in his letter to the Mayor said: “My reason for this request is thet the name of Blackwell's Island sumgeste the penitentiary and the workhouse, and people in general think that !f you are going or have been to Blackwell's you are disgraced or have been @ oriminal. ‘The oity pays to semi-private institu- tions about $5,000 a year for the care of maternity cases which are proper public charges, while most of them could be cared for on the island. The name of Blackwell's Island {!s odious to many mothers, and they do not like to feel that their children may be born on Blackwell's Island. Sould this prejudice be removed—and I think by changing the name it can be in time—the respectable poor would have no objection to going to hospitals under the jurisdiction of this depart- ment now situated on Blackwell's Isl- to-day defi- “Hospital Time Enough for a Girl To Learn to Cook After She Becomes Engaged Why Should She Qualify in College tor Job as Wife Which She Is Not Permitted to Seek?
