An interesting question is now before the Orphans' Court of Philadel phia county on the interpretation of the will of the late Harris J. Chilton. In the first cordial to his will the decedent gave to the Franklin Chess club an annunity of $125, to be paid out of the estate on the first days of October of each year,' and the said amount was to be devoted by the club to holding an annual chess tournament with suitable prizes to be paid out of the fund, and the same amount was given to the Mercantile Library company in trust for the Mercantile Library Chess association upon similar terms. f The question before the court was whether the annuity for the purpose of conducting chess tournaments violated the laws against perpetuities or whether the same was valid on the ground that the gift was for a charitable use and same under that portion of the act of 1855 which provides that no disposition of property hereafter made for any religious, charitable, literary or scientific use shall fail as being given in perpetuity. The club as a trustee of the fund making the claim a chess tournament would come within the clause "for a literary or scientific use." (Philadelphia Enquirer).
