were too cheap TO be good. On Mrs.
Garcelon sent to New York for two India
shawls, one of which cost 5000 and the
other $500.
.she gave you one Of those shawls,
didn't she?" asked the cross-examiner.
''She did,
Mrs. Purinton then told about the little
hand-mirror Mrs. Garcelon used TO keep
under the parrot cage and used to fix her
hair and dress when no one was listening.
Mrs. Garcelon was childish and used to re-
peat three stock anecdotes about her child
hood days. She had three bottles of medi-
clne-one for headache, one for fever and
one for indigestion. The bottles were OF
varying sizes, but she nevertheless used
the wrong bottle at the wrong time and
mixed her medicines to such an extent
that Mrs. Purinton had to administer them
to her.
Stephen Purrington was overbearing in
his manner. Once he scolded because
there were two turkeys on the table. He
SAID that was extravaganza. AT another
time he growled because no one eat the
beefsteak that was on the able for supper.
tie said it was foolishness to buy beefsteak
for Cinnamon to eat. The income from
the estate was at this time between $50, 600
and $40, 900 month.
Once Mrs Garcelon asked Stephen for
$500. He retorted angrily that it was like
pouring it down a rathole to try to supply
her with money.
Captain Purinton told of conversation
he had with Stephen on the ferryboat in
which Stephen remarked that he hadn't
slept all night because he had been COM
PEELED to give Judge Staniy $4,000 in set
tIement.
why couldn't he sleep?" asked Phil
brook.
because Stanly had robbed the old
woman, he said" replied the captain.
And Stephen further told the captain.
.sYou are not in the trust, bnt Stanly is.
He has worked the old woman"
"How did Mrs. Garcelen speak of Henry
Rodgers?" asked Mr.. Philbrook.
''She always referred to him as that
gopher because, as she said, he was al
ways working underground"

CDR. Merritt was one of the largest men
I ever saw out OF a menagerie,' said Wit
ness W. ". Foote, who is himself not a
small man.
This was in answer to Attorney Moore S
question as to whether the late brother of
the late Mrs. Garcelon was of forgiving
disposition, and the response was one OF
the very few things that broke the dull
monotony of the proceedings in the Garce-
lon will contest yesterday IN the United
States Circuit Court.
Mr.. Foote had been called as a witness
for the defense; that is to say, for the
Merritt nephews, who are trying to break
the Bowdoin College and Oakland Hospi-
tai trusts. Mr.. Foote wore his summer
suit and cork-soled, rubber-heeled winter
shoes. Otherwise he was the same genial
and obliging witness as when previously
sworn in the case.
What led up to this bit of personal
description was Attorney Moore's ques.

FROM HEBREW PULP|TS,
LIFE ON AN OCEAN STEAMER
COMPARED TO THAT OF
THE WORLD.
DR.. NIETo's ADDRESS TO sheriff.
ISRAEL ON JUST AFTER THE
THE DAWN"

The Friday evening lecture season is
now in full swing at two Of the synagogues
in this City.
AT the Temple Emanuel last night DR..
Voorsanger lectured on the subject, "An
Ocean Steamer-A Miniature World" He
remarked that comparatively few of his
audience had crossed from one continent
to the other. The great sensation that one
experienced on leaving tie harbor is one
OF humility. There is too, a sensation of
security, which, however, leaves one on
contem plation of the ocean after a days
passage, and gives way to a feeling of in
security.
1t has been we'll and truly said that no
matter how pleasant the Journey there is
always little sense of uncertainty In the
feeling of not knowing what is going to
happen. Jew days on an ocean steamer
IS good incentive to meditation. One has
nothing to do-the world has been left far
behind. This sense of having parted with
all you hold dear gives an opportunity for
you to realize that the ship is like your
own life" said DIR. Voorsanger. "You go
on your own journey through life. You
take as much care as the architect has
taken In building his vessel You have to
plow you way through the ocean of time.
You have to prepare yourself for the storm
and the hurricane or for anything that the
design of God may send you.
DR.. Jacob Nicto opened his season of
Friday evening lectures at Temple Sheriff.
Israel last night. a good attendance was
present and special programme of music
was rendered by competent choir under
the direction of Mrs. II. ]. Stewart.
DIR. Nieto's subject was entitled, "Just
After the Dawn" In the course of his
remarks he said:
1T has been the desire of all men with
great minds and the hope of every ambi-
tious spirit to be born twenty centuries be-
yond the period of their existence, thus
showing us that their prophetic insight
had admonished them that mankind
would advance to such degree as to real
ize all the dreams Of their prophetic souls.
1--WE are now. just past the dawn of
new year, one in which man was studied
subjectively rather than effectively. The
sciences which dealt with the element of
speculation have gone out OF fashion, and
now the scientific minds of the world are
dealing with such matters as concern the
OF mankind in general. J"
