NORMAN BROOKS WILL


WINsTED, Conn, Aug. 1S.-A remark
able will case is attracting the attention OF
Litchfield county. It involves 500 900 left
by the late Norman Brooks, who died
July 2S. The document purporting to be
the last will and testament of Mr.. Brooks
leaves, outside of a few small requests, al
the property to his widow for life, AND
makes Edgar NJ. Glossy, a lawyer, whose
wife is a ncice of Mr.. Brooks, residuary
lcgatce. This will is dated June 10.
BY a will made a year earlier a NOR,
equal division of the property was made
and now a contest is begun by the minor
heirs, who allege that the will of June Il
is a fraudulent one. They claim that Mr.
Glossy got a man to impersonate Mr.
Brooks and sign the alleged bogus will in
the Office of Howard Landon of Salisbury.
the law partner of Senator ID. 7. Warner
The contestants had the body of Mr..
Brooks exhumed a week ago, and the wit.
nesses to the second will, after seeing il.
said that it bore no resemblance to the
man saw in Landons' office. Mr.. Clossc,
claims that the real Norman Brooks went
with him to Salisbury on June 10, ant
that he can prove that the will is genuine

When There Was No New Woman.

1t may not be generally known that In
the carly history of Philadelphia it wa a
criminal offense to walk the streets dressed
in fancy costume. The whipping post was
not only used as a medium for wife beat.
ers in the days when there were few laws
and fewer infractions of law and order,
but any n caught on the highway dressed
in woman's garb WA givena dose of ''back
strapping." From the following extract
from the presentments of the grand juries
it will be seen what our forefathers thought
OF masquerading:
John Smith was disguised in woman's
clothes, walking the streets openly and
going from house to house against the
laws of God and this province, to the
straining of holy profession M against
the laws of nature. Edward James, IL like
offender, at al unreasonable time of night.
Dorothy, wife of Richard Cantcrill, is in
dicted also for being masked, walking and
dancing in the house of James Shines at 10
o'clock at night" These hcinous and
criminal otfcrses took place in the year
1902. There was no attempt made to have
masquerade balls until about the year
1929, when the movement was promptly
suppressed by an act of tho state legisla-
ure.-Philadelphia Record.

RANSOM'S CASE.
VIII Be Reappointed Minister to Mexico
as Soon as Practical.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-It is understood
that, aside from the inconvenience whicl
will be occasioned to Minister Ransom by
the failure to receive his salary promptly
and the necessity for his %rcappoin tment
there will be no other complication a.
tached to the decision which has been rem
dered by the solicit r general. Under til;
constitution Mr.. Ransom's appointment
was irregular because made during hi
term as senator.
Mr.. Ransom has understood for ss
weeks that the solicitor generals decision
would be against him, and while he wa.
forewarned to this effect. ,he was notified
at the same time that as o as practica
after the decisions had been rendered h.
would be r%eappointcd. 1t was this knowl
edge of the effect of the decision whicl
has caused Mr.. Ransom to remain in thi,
country as long as he has, but the assur
ancc of his reappointment has been madt
so plain that he has made all preparation.
to return to Mexico towards the close O.
the present month.

and gold, and the full sleeves arc finished
off with the edge of the silk raveled into n
fringe. This is q gown graceful and sim
pie, adapted to almost any occasion and an
admirable suggestion for n gown which Is
intended to last from sunmcr well into
autumn.
The coming stuff, according to French
modistes, is pole dc chevrc. Firm, resisting
dust, incapable of being creased, and show
ing colors in purer shades b almost any
other fabric, it deserves our good opinion.
A pretty example of this has a cream
ground, black lines and pompadour floral
stripes.
Never perhaps has there been n greater
run on any item thar on the blouse, which
is still worn with every kind n color Of
skirt and has for the time sent the bodice
to tho wall. As we sec it at its best, boned
and fitted and trimmed with its pretty
lace, chiffon and ribbon, the blouse is O
thing of beauty and will be in its late sum-
mer and autumn career n thing Of ease
and comfort.
Large sailor collars of muslin, or lace
and muslin, are worn over many Of the
plain silk blouses, while n length Of real
lace, often brought from some old hoard,
is gathered up in front, then tossed over
each shoulder and fixed there by u bow, o
couple of large fancy buttons, or two long
jewcled guarded pins. Tho ends do not
hang lower than half way down the back.

New England Standing.
CHAMPIONSHIP OF MAINE.
Plan Formulated for a Maine League Series
to Be Played in September.

A meeting Of the managers Of the
Maine clubs of the New England League
was held at the Augusta House, last even
ing, for the purpose of arranging a series
of games to be played for the champion
ship of Maine after the close Of the New
England League season.
Portland was represented by Manager
Frank Leonard, Augusta by W. W. Burn
ham, Lewiston by NJ. J. Clarity and Ban
gor by J. H. Rice. After discussing the
matter in all its phases, the following
agreement was entered into
We the undersigned, representing the
Portland, Lewiston, Augusta and Bangor
Base Ball Clubs, desiring to engage in a
series of game for the State champion
ship of Maine, to consist of four games be-
tween each of the above named clubs, two
at home and W. away with each cluo;
the same to be played from Sept. Q to 81
inclusive, do hereby agree to the follow,
Ing: Each club will offer to its players,
to be divided pro rata, rs per cent. of the
net receipts, the remaining 25 per cent. to
be retained by the clubs.
Tho home clubs in each case to pay to
the visiting clubs a guarantee of $50,
with 10 per cen privilege of the gate, or
in case Of rain preventing games, n $25
rain guarantee. Only players under con
tract to the various clubs on the eth day
of September shall be allowed to partici-
pate in the games of this series, except in
cases OF desertion or accident. Players not
under contract or reservation to other
clubs can BE- engaged by consent of a
majority Of the clubs engaged in this
series. 1t is agreed that the umpires shall
be paid 81. 80 per game, they to pay their
own expenses.
In the event of a tie between clubs for
first place. such clubs shall play one game
to determine the winner. The ground to
be decided by lot and the gross receipts
equally divided, each club sharing the ex-
penscs of the visitors,
+. J. Leonard for Portland Base Ball
Club. W. W. Burnham for Augusta Club,
NJ. !. Clarity for Lewiston Club, J. H.
Rice for Bangor Club.
OF course it depends upon the players
to say whether these games will be played
or not. If they should not care to enter
into the above arrangement, the whole
project will be abandoned. 1t Is believed
that these games would draw very large
crowds.

Lawrence Dowd of Holyoke, while play
ing ball on Athletic park, Saturday, lost
the sight of his left eye. He was batting
and made a foul tip, the ball striking the
bat near his hands and glancing to the
eye. 1t struck squarely and upturned tie
eyeball, breaking the cornea.
One of the largest crowds of the season
was at Maplewood park, Bangor, Satur-
day, to see the first game in the final
series between New Bedford and Bangor.
Owing to the somewhat turbulent scenes
which had marked previous visits OF
Manager Doe and his men to hat city,
the feeling was intense. Day and Murphy
were the New Bedford battery, and Kildea
and Hayes were announced to do the
honors for Bangor. Umpire Lezotte
started the game, with Sharrott of the
Bangor club at the bat. The first ball
WAS very nlht, IL was OuiiCd % ~
the umpire. You re commencing to roast
liz early in the game" said Catcher Muir
ply. Lezotte turned, and said: Now
see here, Murphy, I'm going to umpire
this game, and call balls and strikes to the
best of my ability, and you will either
keep quiet from the start and play ball or
leave the game. Murphy's reply was a
vulgar insult. The umpire said: That ;
enough; you go to the bench. 1 will give
you just a minute to get out of this
game This precipitated trouble Doe
came in from second base and the umpire
explained the situation, whereupon the
New Bedford captain ordered Sharp, who
was on the bench, to go in and catch.
Sharp peremptorily refused, claiming that
he was lame. Doe next parleyed with the
umpire and in the discussion applied a
vile epithet to him. "'Tbat will cost you
S25" sad LeZotte. Doe then took his men
and Withdrew from the field, and Umpire
Lezotte declared the game forfeited to
Bangor. The local management made
every effort to induce Doe to play off 3
postponed game, or give an exhibition,
but lie turned "a deaf ear to these appeals.
The crowd was very quiet, but was dis
gusted at the proceeding. and some refused
to accept the admission checks which were
given out.

JUSTICE is SLOW.
No Steps Yet Taken to Punish Slayeso of
the Bannock Indians.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-1n spite OF re
ports to the contrary, it may be definitely
stated that the Indian bureau rs yet has
taken no steps whatever looking toward
the punishment of the Jackson's Hole
settlers for the killing of the BannocE
Indians. The bureau has sent no com.
munication to the department of justice.
1t is probable. however, that steps will be
taken almost Immediately to bring those
engaged in the killing to justice.
The delay has been caused by the fact
that no law was known under which the
United States courts could take cogni'
zancc of the matter, and the further state
ment has been made that it is practically
impossible to secure a conviction in the
Wyoming state courts, owing to the
strong feeling against the Indians. Satur-
day, however, it was discovered that the
treaty of July 3, 1868, between the United
States and the Bannock and Shoshone In.
dians, had a provision directly applicable
to the present case, under which the ma
chinery of .he United States courts might
be invoked to determine judicially the cul-
pability of the settlers.
The second paragraph of the first article
of the treaty reads as follows: "If bad
men among the whites, or among other
people subject to the authority of the
United States, shall commit any wrong
upon the persons or property of the In
dians the United States will, upon proof
made to the agent and forwarded to the
commissioner of Indian affairs at Wash
ington, proceed at once to cause the Of
Tenders to be arrested and punished ac-
cording to the laws of the United States
and also reimburse the injured persons
for the loss sustained"
While the bureau has not yet decided,on
its course of action, it is probable that
arrests will be made by United States
marshals under provisions of the treaty.
The persons arrested can then sue for writs
of habeas corpus, thus bringing the valid
ity of the treaty and the whole status Of
the Indians into court.

Artificial Pearl Beads.

The well known pearl beads, some Ct
which arc almost exact limitations Of real
pearls, are mostly made in France, says
the Chicago Record. They are said to have
been invented by Joaquin in 1866. Tho
common variety are blown from glass
tubes, and an expert workman can turn
out 5000 a day. Tho peculiar misty or
pearly appearance is impaired to them by
means of powdered fish scales, which are
held in place with wax. The ''osscnce Of
pearl, " as it is called, is very expensive,
the scales from 16, 900 fish being required
to make a single pound of it. The best Of
these beads are blown in irregular shapes
to counterfeit nature, some In the shape Of
pearls, others like olives, and they easily
