court yesterday charged with the non-sup- |
port of his wife. The wife was the FIRST
witness. She carried in her arms little wee
babe, month old. She was good looking
and was quite different from the general run
of italian women who are seen in court. She
talked mildly, answered the questions asked
by Interpreter Paul Russo, in meek and
careful manner. She did not talk with that
velocity so common to italian women. Her
testimony was to the effect that her mother
and brother were supporting her. and they
were also keeping her husband. He brother
got him two jobs, but he would take neither.
He had done nothing for her support for
three months. Andersco didn't have much
to say in his own defense. He said that he
had tried toget work, but couldn't. He had
had $16 in his pocket when arrested, and he
admitted that he had 500 in the bank.
Judge Pickett sentenced him to jail for As
days, but on finding out that he had money
in the bank, continued the case until he
could get his bank book and draw 1t to put
up as bond that he would pay his wife
$3.50 week for the next six months.

his eyes at all, as it would be impossible to
see anything, owing to the absence of light:

especially when he is swimming, he does

BIG WILL CONTEST.
A Millionaire's Estate.

DANIEL b. FAYERwEATHER'S WILL
While the inhabitants of Newtown and
vicinity are becoming deeply interested
in the outcome of the proceedings now
under way in the Superior conrt. in the
attempt of heirs-at-law to set aside the
will of the late Eion Booth. the prospect
of suit soon to be instituted by the wild
ow of the dead millionaire leather mer-
chant of New York, to set aside her hus-
bands will, will create some interest in
the field which the BEE covers, since the
parties were at one time residents OF the.
adjoining town of Monroe and still have
relatives living in Newtown. Commenc-
ing life poor boy in Stepney, Mr. Fayer-
weather learned the shoemaker's trade
with Capt Charles Clark, with whom he
worked until he attained his majority,
married and laid by few dollars. He
removed to Bridgeport and afterward to
New York city, where he was so success
full in business and so judicious in the
management of his finances that his prop
erty, from the small savings of his Step
new earnings, rolled up into the millions
and, at his death, the New York journals
sounded loudly his praises for remem-
bering SO generously so many institu-
tions of learning in our land. 1t is sup
posed that his property amounts to be-
tween SS,0OO,O0 and $4,000, 900. He
gives over s., 900, 900 to various colleges,
also handsome bequests to the three
daughters of his brother William: to his
widow he gives his house on East 51th
street and $4,000 year during life.
while the residuary, which is now sup
posed to amount to four or five millions.
was left to the three gentlemen whom he
named as his executors. 1t is claimed
that Mrs Fayerweather has no desire to
withhold from the colleges the money
which her husband willed them, nor
| from the heirs named in the will, but
does object to putting up with but sl5.-
600 year, while so large an amount goes
to the executors. The lawyers think the
prospects good for breaking the will. If
the contest comes, it will be watched
with interest. Mr. Fayerweather never
had children, but his brothers daughter
Lucy became their adopted daughter and
was given good education. She is now
the wife of Judge Morris B. Beardsley of
Bridgeport and is legatee in the will to
the amount of 100000. A few years
ago, Mr. Fayerweather interested himself
in the cemetery at Stepney and expended
$1,000 in new fence and in enlarging the
grounds and also erected = fine family
monument. He was cousin of the late
Mrs Julia Peck of Sandy Hook; also Of
Mrs Marcia Glover of Hanover.

IL MAN DYING OIrr.
A Picture of the Time Coming When
Woman VIII Have Things All Her own
Way.


1t has long been noted that in civilized
countries there is a steady decrease in
the population of the males to the whole
population. The fact has been accounted
for IN various ways, scientific, physiology
cal and otherwise. but no one has given
the matter especial thought except to
mourn the necessity of here and there
woman being left without the protector
nature designed for her. 1t was preserved
for an indianapolis reporter, however, to
discover that the males are not only grow
ing proportionately less in number but
that the sex is actually dying out. Tie
argument he presents in support of this
view is not at hand but it is not difficult
to imagine some of the points he makes
For instance, the rapid advance Of the
gcnt!er sex in fields hitherto held sacred
to the man is one indication that nature
is training woman for absolute iudepend-
ence. AT the present rate it sis not inn
probable that the generation now begin
ming life will see women in change of all
the importont branches Of human activity.
and fully capable of managing rhe world
without masculine assistance. The cling
ing vine style of femininity is giving way
before the active. self-reliant and in
dependent woman, and the chances ale
that the clinging business will in few
years become the exclusive property Of
the males.
Other reasons might DE cited, but tor
present purposes it is sufficient to acLn0w.-
edge that at some day Hen will be NUM-
bered with the trilobites, mastod0ns.
megatheriums and other evidences OF Uy-
gone life This manless future will De a
long time coming, and before its arrival
there will be q blissful period for the few
men left to enjoy it, As the proportion
of males to females grow less and less.
masculinitv will be enhanced In value, and
specimens Of the sex which are now cast
aside with scorn will then be worth their
weight in gold Even the insane dude
and the anglomanic will come to have
definite value, and will no doubt succeed
the poodle and the pug as feminine pets.
But fear of an impending scarcity OF men
should not lead the members of the gtatier
sex to take up with every male specimen
that offers itself. The supply of worthy
and reasonably good men IS far from being
exhausted and the present alternative Is
not a crooked stick or none at all. Here is
one of the places where tits wise TO make
haste slowly and not be iriyen into apoor
bargain because there il possibility for q
future corner in the supply
And what a glorious time the last man
of all will have! Nothing will be toe good
for him, and his days will close In an
uninterrupted dream Of bliss And when
he is gone a very large proportion Of The
remaining inhabitants Of earth will wlsh
