The case of Austin Brainard, Gov. Bulkeley's executive secretary, against Controller Staub, was brought up for trial in the superior court Tuesday morn ing at Hartford before Judge Robinson. The case is a mandamus proceeding brought by Brainard to compel Staub to draw an order for the payment of $66. 60 due on his salary for last February. Charles J. Cole and George P. Mclean appeared for Brainard, and William Hamersley for Staub. The plaintiffs put in testimony showing Brainard's appoint ment as executive secretary, and that the money claimed was due him, and that Staub had reused to pay it. The defense offered the election returns and the jour- nals of the house and senate on taking action on them, but these were ruled out on the ground that they were irrelevant.
 MT. Hamersley took exception to-these rulings. In the arguments, Mclean for the plaintiffs claimed that the controller was compelled by statute to make the or der demanded, and that a mandamus could lie against him as well as against any one else, and that de facto officers had rights to all the emoluments of their offices. MT. Hamersley claimed that a writ of 1nandamus could not lie against an executive officer of the state whose duties prescribed by the constitution gave him discretionary powers.

A concession has been granted to M. Steppanni to erect 8 Moorish palace at the worlds fair. One of the many at- fractions which he proposes to exhibit in this palace is $1 ,O00, 900 in gold coin in one pile. He believes that this will be a great drawing card, and that nearly every visitor will want to see 1t. Of course great precautions will be taken for the safety of such great treasure. It will be in strong cage, and MT. Steppanui says l:
 "JusH under the gold will be constructed 8 fire and burglar proof vanlt. To the doors of this vault will be connected elee- tlic wires. In the event of an attempt to rob the palace my guards will press an electric button, the entire pile will fall into the vaults and the doors will spring shut" A space 200 by 250 feet was grant

For many years the late Samuel J. Til den was commonly thought and spoken of as one of the ablest, shrewdest and most cautious Gas well as richest) law yers in the country. He went to his grave with that reputation, leaving behind him a last will and testament. By this in- strument he undertook to set apart the bulk of his fortune-amounting to sev- eral millions of dollars-in trust for the benefit of the people of the city of New York. He requested his executors and trustees to employ it in establishing a free public library, reading room, etc., but he left them at liberty to devote 1t to other charitable, educational and scien: tif1c purposes" at their discretion. Now the court of appeals at Albany decides (three of the seven justices dissenting that MT. Tilden made an utter mess of his last will and testament; his estate, estimated at about eight millions of dol lars, is to be distributed among the heirs the people of the city of New York get left. So far as results go, the most ig. norant and pig-headed layman who ever undertook to get along without legal as. sistance in devising his property was no greater failure as testator than the vet eran lawyer of Gramercy Park and Gray stone

! A CAPTAIN WHO KNEW HIS DUTY.-The Cunard Steamship Company deserves honor from all who believe in treating men fairly, whatever their color. Rev. B. A. Ines, of Memphis, the only colored delegate from the United States to the International Congregational Council in London, crossed in Cunarder. The cap- tain invited him to conduct religious ser vices on Sunday, and MT. lines did so. A white passenger made some contemptu- pus and abusive comment concerning the service, because MT. lines was black. The captain summoned the passengers and ordered him to make an apology. He not only refused, but indulged in further abuse. The captain called the purser, told him to pay the passenger the difference between the first and third class passage, and to put him into the steerage, adding, that if he made any further trouble he should be put in irons. On arriving in Liverpool the passenger complained to the company; but when they learned the facts they not only up- held the captains action, but presented MT. lines with $15O for his work in Mem- phis.

Tales of woe, as they relate to the con- dition of Iowa farmers, are not welcomed. It seems that some politicians have been picturing the despoiled condition of their farms, until the farmers and other inter- ested have rebelled. In proof of the jus tice of the rebellion, numerous instances are quoted of extensive real estate sales, at prices which show that Iowa lacks considerable of being in decline. The gentlemen who are placing loans in that state, also, rise up to condemn this whole sale belittling of the state's condition, and give unmistakable proofs that the facts do not warrant the statements.

This exhibit eonsists of models in papier mache rep resentfng the fur seal and walrus fisheries on the Alaskan coast. The animals to be represented, as we'll as the men who catch them, are being modelled in clay. One of the models shows 8 seal "drive 5 This model includes hundreds of mimic seals which Aleuts are driving along to the killing grounds by waving cloths and shouting. Another illustrates 8 "rook. ery'' on which the full grown seals, bel. lowing and pugnacious, have "hauled up'' out of the surf upon the islands to breed. Another model will show hauling ground of bachelor seals. The killing of seals will also be shown, group of Aleuts be- ing represented in the act of smashing their heads with clubs. There will also be represented a number of hair seals, which are not useful for their fur, but merely for food supply to the natives of that region. The walruses, now rapidly becoming extinct, are also to be repro duced in material that will give them a remarkably life like appearance. Hun- dreds of models in clay are made of these animals, in order to represent the different species and sizes of each. They are to be cast in papier mache and painted.
