THE HICKS DTTORCE CASE.

Mrs. Isabelle Hicks made her public
 debut in her suit for divorce against
 Ratcliff Hicks in the superior court,
 this city, Saturday. Hitherto she has
 not appeared, but has been represented
 by ex-Judge Lynde Harrison. Mrs.
 Hicks is decided blonde Her hair is
 the color of ripened wheat, and in it's
 luxurious beauty rivals that of Mrs
 Leslie Carter. Her eyes are large and
 blue, and from their depths she fash
 CT glances merry or appealing as she wills. She is tall and slender. She wore and handsome sealskin coat when she entered the court room. When she
 laid this aside a stunning costume of
 dark blue was revealed
 She was accompanied by her little daughter, Matilde Wormer. The child is about twelve years old and has her
 mothers beauty. She is the child of
 Mrs. Hicks first husband. The hearing was before Judge Shum- way on the motion by the defendant S lawyers, State Attorney Eggleston of Hartford and Messrs Shelton and Stod- dard of Bridgeport, to dismiss the suit
 on the ground that MT. Hicks was in Paris when the suit was filed and could not have had personal notice served on
 him, and that Mrs. Hicks had not lived in Connecticut long enough to be en- titled to bring suit. Mrs. Hicks testi- fled as did also Joseph P. Root, a mer-
 chant of Holland.
 Matilde Wormer was then put on the
 stand. You are Mrs. Hicks daugh- ter, are you not?" asked Judge Harri-
 son. ''Yes, sir Did you go to school in Washington "Yes sir.'' While there did MT. Hicks ever say anything about coming to Holland to live?" "Yes, sir. He said I should live in Holland in the summer, and that I should have a pony and cart, and he said he was go- ing to be governor This unexpected revelation of MT. Hicks political aspi- rations caused a broad smile and the child was not cross examined.
 An adjournment was then taken.

YEAR BOOK OF TRINITY PARISH
Valuable Hand Book of What Has Transpired During the Past Twelve Months

Valuable Hand Book of What Has Transpired During the Past Twelve
 Months.
 The year book of Trinity parish, which has been recently issued by the rector, Dr. Douglas, contains much val
 uable information to the parishioners. It is a complete resume of what has transpired in the church work of the year.
 Yesterday morning Dr. Douglas based his remarks on the matter contained in the manual. Under the head ''The Choir,' the precentor Rev. c. w. Bispham, makes some suggestions which if carried out would greatly fa- cilitate the work of the choir. The
 precentor advocates the building of a
 chancel organ, which, he says, may be done at a small expense.
 During the year two Bible classes,
 one for women and another for men,
 have been formed. The former is un-
 der the direction of Miss Emily P Nichols and meets in the parish build- ing Sunday afternoons at 2:45 o'clock in the rector's office in the parish build- ing.
 Attorney E. G. Buckland has charge
 of the mems class, which meets in the vestry under the chancel of the church at the same hour. Both classes admit persons over seventeen years old. Trinity parish school is treated at length, and Miss Elizabeth T. Fitch S
 report of the doings of the Young Wo-
 mems guild has much in it that is in- teresting to those who are engaged in
 that kind of church work.
 During the year two former officers of the corporation have died. MT.
 George A. Butler, vestryman and also treasurer. died at Florence, South Car
 olina, on March 26, and MT. Gardner
 Morse died at his home, 237 York street,
 on May 14.
 During the past year the church has received several gifts for use during divine service. Glass cruets for the credence table were provided by the vestry last autumn, and small ser vice of silver plate for weekday and ordinary celebrations of the holy com munion A complete set of Lenten hangings for the chancel. of purple silk richly embroidered, including altar cloth, faldstooI antependium, pulpit an | tependium, chalice veil and purse for the holy communion, and fair linen cloths for the altar, were provided by member of the congregation. With l these, bOok-marks, stoles for the cler- gy and complete sets of the necessary l linen for the celebration of the holy communion were given.

KIpPIE TRIAL To-aroRRoW.

Expert Testimony for the State Yet to be
 Offered-Promises to be Full of Interest
 Case Will Probably Go to the Jury Fri-
 day.
 At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning the trial of Tom Ripple. which has already occupied seven days, will be resumed. The trial will probably continue for three or four days yet, as in addition to other testimony the evidence of the medical experts for the prosecution is yet to be heard. These last named will probably not be placed on the stand be- Tore Wednesday afternoon, and the case will probably not go to the jury before Friday. The experts to testify for the state are Dr. Sterns of Hart ford Dr. Bacon of New Haven and Dr. Physicians and Surgeons.
 Drs. Hammond, Baldwin, Brothers and Kenna, for the defence, have giv- en as their opinion that Ripple was insane at the time of the murder, while one thought that Ripple was never sane and another thought that he Is slightly demented at present. The tes- timony of the experts for the state will be especially interesting from the fact that in order to help the prosecution their testimony must be in essential features opposed to that of the experts for the defence Whether or not it will be so is matter of speculation. The defence expects favorable testi- mony from Dr. Sterns, as in a standard work written by him he gives opinions which would tend to point to Nipples insanity under the conditions which testimony in the case has shown to have existed. MT. Futile will have at hand copy of Dr. Sterns book in or der to see that in his testimony he ad- heres to the opinions there expressed. The testimony for the state to be of fered in addition to that of the experts will probably develop no new facts and will simply furnish material for the prosecution's rebuttal of the evidence offered by the defence as to Kippies habits, temperament and characteris- tics.
