 Years New Haven Lawyer.

He was born July 12, 1913. His father was well known dry goods merchant The family came originally from North Car olina. In his fourteenth year he began learn ing the printers trade in the Register office. He served from 1897 to 1884, He wished and determined to have classical education, and his wish was realized, for he graduated from Yale with the class of Al. Then turn- ing toward the ministry he became a student of the Yale theological school for two years There being dissatisfied he determined to change to the study of law. Shortly after he was admitted to the bar he went to Milwau- kee and taught school and practiced his pro- fession.
 He did not stay there long but soon re- turned to this city. where he opened a law office in the Glebe building After remain ing there short time he changed to the Lyon building. Mir. Jacocks and MT. Will COX. the dry goods dealer. were the first oc. cupants of the Lyon building and they have remained there ever since.

His articles covered deep study and research and were chiefly produced dur ing the war time. They were controversial in character, but were thoroughly perused by them and looked tor more under the invaria- ble signature "A. B. J." Mr. Jacocka was @ gentleman of high integrity and morals, trusted and respected. He did not permit himself to become party to any bare tran- sactions, no matter how glittering the temp tation of reward, but remained true to his ideal, the sterling sound, old fashioned prin- ciples of right and justice. He was mem- Der of Center church. He was a quiet unos- tentatious man, @ good reader and careful thinker and leaves an untarnished record and a memory that will be warmly cherished.

Seven Miles of Water Front Conceded
 by East Haven to New Haven Juris-
 dictiOn for Commercial Purposes
 Wat East Haven Gave Up-A Nut Tor
 COnsOlidat10nIstst to Crack.
 As the attorney for the consolidation or town and city of New Haven would not in ssrt in his argument last Thursday in Hart ford before the committee on cities and DOT ouehs that the city limits covered the whole area of New Haven harbor, and only at the last moment after the committee had ad-
 journed, acknowledged (which was admitted
 alway by the anti-consolid idationists) that it's
 iurisdiction over the harbor to high water
 mark was for police and sanitary purposes
 only, we herewith append quotation from
 the revised city charter (aet of 1881, and the
 aet establishing boundary lines between the
 towns of New Haven, East Haven and Or
 anRe, approved by the General Assembly in 1877 and 1878:

AGED EIGHT YEARS.
Little Miss Mollie KtllIngbeck,s Su

Little Miss Mollie K1llIngbeck's Sue-
 cess.
 Prof. Killingbeck, the we'll known athlete and gymnasium instructor of Bridgeport, and who is we'll and favorably known here, has a young daughter who is a born actress and who is attracting considerable attention just now from the press and people of Bridgeport, as the following extract from recent issue of the Bridgeport Standard will show:
 A private dress rehearsal was given at Prof. Killingbeck's gymnasium last night before several members of the press and few friends in which little Miss Mollie Killing beck, aged eight years, gave two pleasing ex- hibitions, showing remarkable talent for one of such tender age. Her first effort was an exhibition of club swinging, taught by her father, which was given in 8 manner that would have been great credit to an older pupil of longer experience. She next gave 8 remarkably fine impersonation of Juliet in the potion scene. The rendition of the lines and the death fall were as nearly perfect as would seem possible. She has had no teacher and the conception of the character was her own. Those who saw the little actress last night bespeak for her bright future should she continue her efforts in the direction of the stage. She will give the above, with several other exhibitions, at the gymnastic, musical and literary entertainment under Prof. Killingbeck at St. Johns hall on Wed- nesday night, April "A, when the public will be given an opportunity to judge for them selves.

THE NATIONAL CAME,

A Close Game Yesterday Afternoon
 The New Ravens Unable to Guage
 Lordss Delivery at she Right Time
 The New York Giants Will Be Here
 This Afternoon
 The game st the ball ground yesterday af-
 ternoon between the New Ravens and the
 Norwalks was very interesting, and it showed
 that the visitors are strong team. At one
 time they were ahead, and the home team
 did not tie the score until the eighth inning
 There was one thing very evident and that
 was that the Norwalks gave the New Ravens
 tho closest rub they have had this season. It
 was not a one-sie d game by any means. The
 score was 4 to 3 in favor of the home team. The Norwslks had in 8 pitcher named
 Lord and he only knew why the New Ravens could not hit him when necessary. He was
 an entire stranger to the Norwalk manager,
 but he pitched good game. Carsey for the New Ravens pitched a strong game, striking out eight men. He also hit hard. Fitz9erald did well at second base
 Neither side scored in the first inning. Car sey struck out the entire eide In the second Goekman and Malone made neat double play, and GoekmRn threw Sullivan out at third. In this inning Carsey struck out two men. It was in the third that the New Ravens scored on Carsey's hit to left, steal and Smiths sacrifice hit.
 Malone hit safely in the fifth, but Galligan let the ball go through him and Malone was safe on second. Gilbert gave Sullivan 8 hot one. The ball bounded high in the air, and before he saw where it was Malone had scored. Smith didn't throw well to second and Gilbert got third. Goekman hit long fly which Galligan gathered in, and he made splendid throw to the plate, but the runner got there first. This made the score to 1 in favor of the Norwalks.
 At the end of the sixth the score was tied on Walsh's safe hit, steal, and sacrifice hits Sheehan and Dillon. Walsh came near being thrown out at second.
 Norwalk got ahead in the seventh on 8 home run by Malone, but New Haven made twoBruns in the eighth on a two base hit by Walsh, and singles by Dillon, Sullivan and Brady.
 The Norwalks should have no trouble in arranging dates with good clubs. The score:

 Senator James F. Pierce, of New York, writes:
 "For the past two years I have suffered very much from an aggravated form of nerv- ous dyspepsia. I have resorted to various remedial agents, deriving but little benefit. few months since friend of mine suggest ed the trial of Allcock's Porous Plasters Following the suggestion, have been using the same with the happiest effect. To those similarly afflicted let me suggest the manner of their use. place one over my stomach, one over the hepatic region and one on my back. The effect was excellent and from tho day commenced their use I have been slow ly but surely improving and am quite con- fdent that by their continuance with careful regimen I shall again be restored to my ac- customed health."

In one of Armstrong's elegant show win- dows on Orange street, in the midst of beau- tiful surroundings, is exposed to view a rarely beautiful spread for Q center table, the artistic work of Mrs. William J. Futile of No. 63 Crown street. It is embellished colors, and the corners are beautifully and elaborately embroidered. The groupings of colors are very artistic and the whole work was elaborated with great skill and much labor. It is on par with other notable specimens of the lady's handiwork which have attracted the admiration of the public on previous occasions.

NKW YORK, AprlI 2s. Stocks opened 14 to ss per cent. higher and the subse quent movements were very irregular, Union Pacific being the weak point followed by Chicago Gas, while Atchson St. Paul and New England were the specially strong points. The fluctuations in the general list were confined to the smallest fractions and insignificant, and dulness soon be came the ruling feature notwithstanding the weak ness shown in Short Line and Hooking Valley. Louisville and Nashville, however, came to the front after twelve o'clock and Tennessee Coal also joined the upward movement, everything moving up toward delivery hour. After that time there was considerable realizing and prices yielded 6 shade, but the close quiet and fairly steady, leaving most of the list fractionally higher than last week.

Notes i'm General.


 The Wilkesbarrs Record says: "It would be pleasing indeed to see New Haven loom up and swipe it's sister clubs at lively rate This is on the principle of sympathy for the under dog. Fact is, that although the sea- son is yet more than 8 week ahead, the New Haven club has been repeatedly relegated to last place by the would be wiseacres of the Atlantic league environment. And to make the phophecy the more foolish, these prophets are quoting as authority the fact that the New Haven club members have no record All the better. The best sacrifice hitter in the Central league last season was not numbered among the first twenty-five in batting averages. But the way he boosted in runs at critical times was A caution to his opponents and delight, no doubt, to his supporters. This essay might be continued indefinitely in the same strain. Wilkesbarre has no preliminary boosting to do. Some of the other clubs can do all that sort necessary. The suggestion, however, night we'll be of- fered here that it would be tall scheme to wait until the coal barons get chance to cross bats with the other clubs before con- signing them to the OK tail consomme."
