Court Notes.
George W. Denney has been appointed by
the Probate court trustee of the estate of
Henry Pearsall.
The meeting of the Nineteenth Century
club in New York Tuesday night was made
notable by an important address by Chief
Justice Noah Davis upon Marriage and Di-
vorce' The justice said that the worst
evil in this country is the laxity of the di-
vorce laws and the neglect to make them
uniform, What is legal act in one State is
felony in another. He urged an amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States, giving Congress the power to enact
uniform divorce law for all the States, for
only one cause-adultery.
Improving the Park.
! what the Coming Season Is Expected to
FIRING Forth ON East Rock Park-Nevv
Drives, n Restau. ant and Police GOntem-
| pInteC-NIOney Wanted.
With the opening of buds, the blosqoming
Of arbutus, THE sprouting Of the tender
blades of grass, the singing of the early bird,
the transmigrations of family tenants, the
flight of the base ball, and the other signs of
/ approaching spring, comes the sound of
hammer and spade upon the favorite pleas
ure haunt of New Haveners, East Rock
Park. During the long winter season the
wintry blasts sweep over the bleak SUBMITS
of the rock, and the drives and walks are
| deserted. But with the advent of mild
weather, the pedestrian and the pleasure
seeker hasten to renew their acquaintance
with our beautiful park and its magnificent
views, and the result is that on warm Sun
day afternoon many people are to be found
there The Park commissioners become
active also and hasten to repair the damages
done by the ravages of the cold season, as
well as to formulate plans and devices for
further improvements. They intend this
season to push their enterprises in accord
ance with plans already made as far as the
city's appropriation of $4,000 will allow
'..We are looking for some benevolent
gentlemen who will help US with some
| money" said Charles @. Biatchlsy, secretary
| of tho Park commission. to q repo rter yes
terday afternoon. 1--WE really need more money
| than the city gives us, in order to carry out
| the necessary improvements for the coming
| season. I wish you would put that in your
| paper, and perhaps it would meet the eye of
| some one who has publics spirit, Hberality
| and means enough to give the commissioners
| some money. We are as economical as pos
sibIe, but it costs considerable money to
build roads and make Improvements.
"Wkat are you doing now, Mr.. Batch
Iey?"
"Well, the men are at work setting the
| posts for what is called the Bishop gate at
| the State street entrance They are also en-
| gagged in clearing up the roads already con-
| structed. cleaning the cutters and getting
| everything in trim. We expect to connect
| the Farnam drive with the road to Indian
Head. That will make beautiful drive. We
also have the plans for restaurant. We
| propose to convert the old Stewart tower
/ into cosy little restaurant. We shall move
| it up the rock few feet, fix it all over inside
and build veranda about it fifteen feet
wide. It will then be as pleasant q
place you could desire for
| parties desiring rest and refreshment The
| location of the restaurant will be such that ii
| will afford commanding view of all the
| territory to the west and sonth. The plans
for the buildin g were drawn up by Archi-
tect 81. G. Lindsey"
'taow about poliee?'
'tWell that matter has got to be settled
and something must be done. There are 60
ing to be many people out there. ladies and
children among them. all the time during the
season, and they need police protection. Al
least two mounted police needed"
The matter of providing the park with
police has already been discussed by the
police commissioners, but no action has been
| taken
