The surrogate of Erie county will be compelled to pass upon the question of the immortality of the soul, by reason of a will contest just brought in his court. List January Mrs. Catharine Backus died leaving (1,000 ia the bank and several adult children. In her will she bequeathed the whole sum in trust to Nicholas Dashman, to be used by him to pay for masses for the benefit of the soul of deceased and her husband. The children have contested the will, their attorney raising the point that the soul of Mrs. liackus cannot receive any benefit from musses. The. ingenious legal light goes on to ar gue that even if the souls of Mrs. Backus and her husband could be benefited by masses a soul has no standing iu a tem poral court and the trust 1 illegal because it is not for the benefit otfHmy human be ing; that the soul is not subject to proof, and that any trust for theietiefit of some thing which may not eveitiicist is not war ranted in law. That ia jauy event the money would not actually' go to the soul, but to some church, and that not even the church is designated, thus giviug the trus tee too much discretionary power.
