DR.. Hailman expressed approval of the

now in vogue. For instance, he told a
story to illustrate this point. DR.. Hail
man Is Swiss. When he was boy he
was wont to roam in the valleys and over
the hillsides of his native land, and ex-
plore the ruins of old castles. But ne
read IN school stories of hobgoblins and

school. After that he was afraid TO yls!t

MRS. STOWE IN LONDON.
Her Attack on Lord Byron Offende

Her Attack on Lord Byron Offended
Some of Her English Friends.
Mrs. Stowe has not visited Europe since
1859. and very little had been heard of her
since her attack upon Lord Byron in 1869,
which irreparably damaged her reputa-
ton. Mrs. Stowe made one of the great
est OF literary successes with 'Uncle Toms
Cabin but she profited but little by the
achievement. Her visit to England in
1853 was a blaze OF triumph, but she
offended many of her European friends
by the revelations and comments in her
"Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands"
(published in 1854, which Macaulay
abused as "a mighty foolish and imperti-
nent book" 1t is, however, a work which
can still be looked through with consider
able entertainment.
Mrs. Stowe paid a second visit to Eng
land in 1856, but the trip was disappoint-
ment, and most of her quondam friends
in London utterly ignored her existence,
regarding her as obsolete and played out.
Her melancholy and mortifying expert
ences during the visit caused Macaulay to
indite some weighty remarks In his diary
upon the subject of ''lions."
tThere is nothing more pitiable than an
ex-lion or honess. London, have often
thought, is like the sorceress in the Ara
bian Nights who, by some mysterious
law, can love the same object only forty
days. During forty days she is all fond
ness. AS soon as, they are over, she not

Fair VS.. Angus
He was fined $50. He explained to
Judge Slack that he had not left the City
that day, but that he did not hear of the
search for him by the officers until Sun
day morning. He had no intention of
committing contempt, he said. The case
had gone over to August and he thought
it was sufficient If he came at any time be-
fore that date and signed the deposition.
Mr. McEnerney asked Cooney where he
was that day. The notary declined to an
swer and McEnerny asked the court to in
struct him to do so. Judge Slack declined.
but said that the witness refusal to an
swer would be taken into consideration.
Cooney said he would not state where he
was further than that he had not left the
City. He would, however, ne said, tell
the Judge privately if he desired.
The court did not ask that the secret
be revealed to him, but said that Cooney's
explanation was not entirely satisfactory.
inasmuch as he admitted that he under
stood the courts injunction to return on
the day stated. He therefore imposed the
fine.
The court then began the reading of
the deposition, and continued through it
to the last syllable, although the lawyers
thought he might well have shirked that
duty. The reading occupied the entire
morning, and was followed closely by
Cooney ana representative attorneys for
both sides. This deposition is, OF course,
very material, as upon it the title to

.G|LFETHER LOST
HIS CHICKENS,
Judge Low Has to Decide
a Knotty Legal
Point.
SEARCH WARRANT CASE
Eggs Were Given to Be Hatched
Out, but the Warrant Called
for Chickens.
THIS RENDERED IT DEFECTIVE
Gilfether Now Threatened With Arrest
for Perjury for Swearing That
Eggs Were Chickens.

Judge Low had a knotty point to decide
yesterday. 1t arose in the search warrant
case of Gus Gilfether, 80 Hill street,
against B. Lawlor, 1906 Sanchez street.
The point was whether Gilfether, who in
his complaint called for the production OF
two game roosters was justified In doing
so, seeing that he had only given Lawlor
the eggs.
Gilfether is a candidate in the Thirty
fifth Assembly District for the Legisla-
ture. and spends most of his time around
the Police courts, where he boasts he has
''pull." About two years ago he got three
dozen game eggs from John Mclaughlin,
special policeman in Chinatown. He
gave dozen to his brother Frank to take
to Lawlor, who has an incubator and is
famed for Matching chickens. They all
hatched out, but all died except four.
LawIor gave two to Frank, who took them
to his mother, and kept the other two
himself.
Gus had not been living on friendly
terms with his parents and brother, and,
according to the testimony in court yes
terday of his brother and father, he, some
months ago, took the two chickens from
his mother and beat her. He then went

possession, which are now two splendid
roosters, valued by LawIor at $50. After
arguing the matter over Lawlor told Gus
to take his chickens, but Gus refused.
Gus few DAYS ago went again to Law
lor and made another demand for the
chickens, but this time Lawlor declined to
let him have them. Gus then told Law
lor that he would swear out search war;
rant and get the chickens, anyhow, as he
had big pull"
Gus testified that he paid Mclaughlin
$50 for the three dozen eggs, but Attorney
Gallagher, who appeared for Lawlor, said
he could prove that the eggs did not cost
Gus cent.
After hearing all the testimony the
Judge decided that as Gus lad given
Lawlor eggs he could not legally make a
demand for chickens, because at the time
mentioned in the search warran. there
were no chickens but only eggs. He there
fore gave the two game roosters to Lawlor,
who now threatens to have Gus arrested
for perjury in swearing that on certain
date he had two chickens in his possession
belonging to him, whereas he only had
the eggs.

have then and there with you certain in
strument made and entered into by Charles L.
Fair, Theresa A. Oelrichs and Virginia Fair,
wherein and whereby said parties authorized
and directed Richard V. Dey to settle the
claims of Mrs. Nettie r. Craven against the
estate of James G. Fair for sum not exceed
ing $500, 900, conditioned upon the probating
of the will of said James G. Fair, dated Sep
tember "a, 1894. if the same is now in your
custody.
1t is expected that this proceeding will
develop the interesting and mysterious
$500 600 con ntract, which Mr.. Lloyd said he
was willing now to show to any body.
The LAWYERS will also be asked to ex-
plain why short time ago they thought
that the pencil will was just the thing,
and what led them to change their mind
about it.
Virginia Fair and Mrs. Oelrichs are soon
to be called upon to answer these ques-
tions also. Attorney Delmas yesterday
gave notice to all the lawyers in the case
that on Thursday next he will ask the
court for an order requiring the taking of
these dispositions in New York City. This
proceeding is the result of the position
taken by these ladies in their answer to
the opposition of Charley Fair to the PEN
Gil will as filed in court on Wednesday, in
which answer they state that they have
no information leading them to the belief
that the pencil will is forgery. 1t will
be remembered that Reuben LLOYD, speak
ing for them, said, when the will was first
brought forward by Charley Fair, that
they knew that the will was genuine. The
attorneys for DR.. Levingston wish now to-
learn why they are no longer confident of
its genuineness.
