Buchanan. to-day brought a suit in the
supreme court against her brother-in-
law, James d. Buchanan, and the
Greenwood Cemetery corporation to re-
cover $4,000 for the alleged unlawful
seizure Of her husbands body.
She alleges in her complaint, drawn
by Isaac N. Miller, that after her hus-
bands death his brother, James d.
buchanan, seized the body and had 1t
Inferred in Greenwood cemetery. She
says that she has made repeated de-
mands for the body, but has been I'M
able to secure It,
The defendants have filed an answer
denying that the body was unlawfully

before his death requested him to take
his body and bury it.

fore surrogate Arnold to renew the
suit she has brought to contest the will
of her husband by which he cut her off
with a bequest of $50

county court house, being the plaintiff
| In number of law suits. Several
months ago she recovered a verdict for
| $4,000 against Mrs. Kate M, Foster for
the alienation of the affections of her
| husband. The trial of this suit occu-
| Mad az,
made by the defence to show that Mrs,
| Buchanan made the home life of her
husband SO unhappy that he was justi-

| bands hats the words Prepare to meet
| thy God" and had placed outside his

ust "a 1895, DIR. Buchanan cut off his
wife with bequest Of SEQ, remarking,
| 1.-THE reason for such bequest being on
account of the ingratitude shown to me
by my wife for several years past. and

An Old Woman Keeps Eighteen Cats,
Seven Dogs and Three Parrots in One
Room.
New York, May "a delegation of
Four ward citizens of Hoboken called at
the office of the board of health of that
city this morning and alleged that one
of the tenants of the house at 81 Adams
street kept a menagerie In her living
apartments.
She's an old maid and keeps dozen
cats, as many dogs. and three parrots
in her rooms" said Mrs. Tony Saferi-
no of the same address. A dozen of
the neighbours said that Mrs Saferina' S
statement was correct. They all de-
manded that the health authorities
should Immediately drown every one of
the animals.
Health Inspector Anthony Granelli
went at once TO the address given, and
on the top floor, in two small rooms,
he found Miss Sophie Bissonette. The
rooms appeared to be swarming with
cats and dogs, and when the Inspector
opened the door a parrot said things
that showed it was not well bred.
The inspector counted the animals
and found eighteen cats, seven dogs and
three parrots. Inspector Granelli told
Miss Bissonette that she would have TO
remove the cats and dogs.
She burst into tears and declared that
if she was separated from her cats and
dogs she would kill herself.
The inspector will give her three days
grace in which to dispose Of her pets.

WHEELMEN AROUSED.
Strong Opposition Being Made to the
Bicycle Lantern Bill.

Strong Opposition Being Made to the
Bicycle Lantern Bill.
Two circular letters have been issued
by the Division of American Wheelmen
and Connecticut Federation of Cyclists
asking the senate to reject the bicycle
lantern bill which comes up for action
this week.
President ]. E. Brainerd in letter to
the wheelmen of the state makes the
following points against the BILL
l. That at the present time there is
not lantern that can be kept lighted
on the country roads.
2. The injustice of legislation which
compels bicycllsts to carry lanterns
and at the same time does not include
other vehicles! How about the wagons
with rubber tires?
8. 1t is also a fact that the light of q
lantern is confusing to one approaching
from an opposite direction!
The letter also requests the wheelmen
to assist in the defeat of the bill by ex-
pressing their opposition to the senator
from their district and by being present
at the hearing.
In behalf of the Division OF American
Wheelmen, Chief Consul P. w. West.
lake Of Bridgeport has addressed a let.

position of the wheelmen to the propos.

The promoters of the bill claim that

impossible to see or hear bcyclist rid

The bill came from the committee or

Roraback Of North Canaan and Mr.
Calkins Of East Lyme represented the

posed the bill on the ground that il

that it has been through no fault of

The reasons given for the assignment
are the general stagnation of business
the inability of the debtor to meet the
demands of the creditors, the fact that
the creditors are unwilling to take the

Webb for the Cabinet.

The fact has recently become
known that Dr.. William Seward
Webb had been urged for position
IN the cabinet and iavorably con-
sidered by the president elect. In
some marvellous way the piece of
news has escaped the usual news
paper publicity, but IS fact never
thcless. The New York Tribune com
mcnts on the tact as follows: THAT
Dr.. Webb Tor personal reasons felt
compelled To ask that his name
should be withdrawn has occasioned
much regret among his friends here
in New York and disappointment in
the state where he is at home during
most of the year. 1t must be a great
satisfaction to Dr. Webb to real ze
that the active part which he has
long taken as a resident, and recently
as a member of the legislature, IN
promoting the special interests and
the general welfare OF Vermont is so
cordially recognized in that state.
Nor is there any doubt that his
fellow citizens were fully justified by
their knowledge of his character and
capacities in urging his appointment
to cabinet office

exhibition as it has been reported
that Hanna wishes to make.
The times demand modesty in poll
tics. Ostentatious displays OF exul
tation are at all times inappropriate,
and at no time could they be more
so than now. Instead OF insolent
plutocratic hilarity as it goes back
into full control at Washington, the
republican party and all who are re-
sponsibe for its policies have need OF
chastened soberness.
The responsibility which it has as
sumed is grave, and it will be held to
rigid account. The people have sell
dom been aroused to such a real'za-
ton of their own responsibilities IN
government or of their power to pull
down public men and disrupt politi-
cal parties AS now

their meetings in Caledonia county. Mr..
Vail always gets the close attention OF
an audience as he understands the sub
iect of the DARYL all it's details, owning
and operating large dairy farm in the
town of Pomfret, where he keeps fine
herd OF full bIooded Jerseys.
Mr. Vail said that Vermont stood at
the head as one of the best butter pro-
ducing states in the Union. but there
was danger of fine stock degenerating
back to the native stock and that it
required the closest attention for breed
els to prevent this result; $50 pounds OF
butter was once called large yield, but
today it would not seem too large tosay
500 and 600 pounds are now more often
realized from COWS in some selected
herds.
Some take the pains to weigh the milk
of each COW daily, so that they may be
able to weed out the poor cows, as it
costs nearly the same to keep poor
COW as it does good one, and yet
large number OF farmers go Oh from year
to year without taking the pains to
ascertain the results of each COW.
Mr.. Vail stated that a poor COW may
be fed ever so high and it will do but
little towards bringing her up to be a
good mixer while the same extra feed
will produce great results with the butter
cow.
He said he believed in bloodod stock in
order to get the best results, which, with
the proper TODD will pay even in these
times of small prices. Yet good cows are
sometimes spoiled by unwise feeding.
Mr. Vail spoke OF Caledonia county
having good diaries and Ryegate being
the banner town for large yields OF
butter oil first quality.

ment had been often made that the time
would never come when horses would
become drug on the market and yet
they have fallen off more in price even
than sheep
And a like comparison could be made
in regard to the butter market. The
speaker maintained that sheep will pay
a fair return to the farmer, and he can
get some pay out of his back pastures,
where he cannot send his dairy.
Mr. Spear admitted that there was
very little money in wool, that he, him
sell, had four years clip on hand at the
present time; yet he would have the
farmer grow lambs and mutton Tor the
market, which he claimed always
brought paying prices il sold early in the
season to country towns where city
boarders were spending the summer
Enquiry was made as to what breed
would be most suitable, Mr.. Spear

coarse-wooled sheep, would do. Others

Inauguration Extravaganza.

There is earnest protest from all
parts OF the country against an I'M
usually extravagant inauguration.
Chairman Hanna, in his great exu-
tation, has been inclined this way,
but has wisely been held back. The
Inauguration will be as imposing,
probably more so, than any in the
past but lavish displays OF exultation
will be carefully avoided. The
power of the disconnected at the
present time is great, and the follow.
ing from the New York World is well
said:
Cornelius Vanderbilt has done
well in declining to take a prominent
place as one OF the managers for
Hanna's inaugural ball, Nothing
could be in worse taste than such an
