There is no accounting for a drunkard's

worse. The other day drunken lumber

that they did not even look for his body

The Norfolk Landmark (Dem.) says:
Both Admiral Kautz and Chief Justice
Chambers have been placed in a false and

not restrain the impulse to rush TO the
hastings or to the nearest newspaper Of
fee and publish the contents of the COM
muuication, Notwithstanding that it was
written IN the intimate confidence of fam
lily correspondence. The craze for noto-
riety is probably at the bottom of the

BIRTHDAY RECEPTIONS.
Held By Two Nonagenarians.


MISS Jeanette Booth of Stratford has
had the rare pleasure of attending the
birthday receptions of two nonagen-

MARRIAGE LICENSE LAW.
New Haven License Used In West Ha-
ven

ven.
Rev. August f. Peterson of the Swe-
dish church in this city had confer
ence Wednesday with County Health
officer Hoadley concerning a violation
of the law relating to issuing marriage
licenses. 1t is claimed that on March
20 Mr.. Peterson married couple in
West Haven without first procuring a
proper marriage license. The marriage
occurred in West Haven, but the license
was obtained at the registrars office in
city hall.
This is IN violation OF the law, and
Health Officer Hoadley told the min
lister that he was liable to fine of $100.
Mr.. Peterson said he had been in the
city only since last fall and was not
acquainted with the laws. He said he
supposed West Haven was part of
New Haven, and that the license was
all right. He said he had no intention
of violating the law.
In view of this explanation the health
officer is not likely to bring any prose-
cution. 1t is said the marriage is per-
fectly legal, even though the proper GER
tificate was not secured.

in AND ABOUT THE COURTS
InsoIvent C0rporattOns--A Number of
Suits Pending 49, Andrea Snimohe
Charged with Kape-Other Court
Notes.

| An important rule was adopted by the
judges of the supreme and superior
courts at their last meeting in regard tc
applications in receivershlp cases. The
judges voted that on and after August
they would not grant applications for
receivers for corporations or co-partner-
ships that are insolvent.
The action taken means that the
judges want to compel all corporations
which are insolvent to go to the bank
ruptcy courts of the United States or
take advantage of the insolvency laws
OF the state. 1t means that in future
any concern, no matter how large, so
long as 1t is insolvent, cannot get re-
celver from the superior court to man
age its affairs
The Judges will not refuse to appoint
receivers for concerns that are solvent.
Rece1verships for solvent companies
nave often been granted in the past for
the purpose of closing up the affairs of
company which might have wanted
to go out of existence and effect reor-
sahlzation and the judges will act in
regard to such companies In the flu
ture.
Ihe action taken by the judges is for
the purpose of reducing the amount of
work they have to do. They do not see
why they should assume control Of in
solvent concerns when they can be
handled by United States courts and
probate rO1IrtS
