The plaintiffs in the action are importers of drugs and chemicals.

ROBBIE TURNS TO-NIGHT. Warner Hall tile Rendezvous Big
 Gathering Expected.
"For a that an a that, It'S cOmin' vet for a' thgt

 It's comin' yet for a that,
 When man to man the world OCT
 Shall brithers be for a that,'
 Burns.
 There never, probably, was time when the above prophetic words of the poet were more suited to the nations of the world at large and more worthy the attentions of the powers that be than they are at present. Tonight New Haven in unison with almost every city in the world will in some shape or form by public or private methods cele- brate the plowman bard's natal day. As stated yesterday when we printed the programme of the evenings pro- ceedings the celebration in this city will be of a apublic nature and under the auspices of the Caledonian club, Everything is now arranged, and all that is required to make the proceed ings a success is that an audience large enough to tax the capacity of Warner hall will turn out and take part in the programme arranged. We omitted to state yesterday that Prof. Horatio w. Parker had kindly consented to accom- pany Ericsson Bushnell in his render ing of the aria From St. Christopher As is well known this work is from the pen of Prof. Parker, and was con- posed for MT. Bushnell and this will be the first time 1t has been rendered in this state. During the assembling of the audience Piper Cameron of New York will render a selection of martial airs on the pipes and will include such as are played by the pipers of the va rious Highland regiments at the battle front in South Africa. Tickets can be secured during the day at Loomis' music store, Browns harness store on George street, and of Munro the florist, on Chapel street. The secretary of the club, William Paterson, will be glad to furnish any further information which can be had by calling up telephone No. 1441-3.

The Popular Captain to Sign With the
 Reds Again This Year.
 Tommy" Corcoran of this city, cap tain and shortstop of the Cincinnati baseball team, received his contract for the season of 1900 from Manager Bob" Allen yesterday. He has not as yet he says looked it over very carefully, but he does not believe it contains any provisions of special moment over last years contract.
 Asked if he would sign 1t, he said he knew of no reason to the contrary, although as there is no cause for hurry he need not do so immediately.
 MT. Corcoran Is quite pleased with the outlook for the championship season for the Reds" this year. With wealth of good material and Bob" Allen of Indianapolis as manager. there is no reason, he says, why a winning team should not be turned out. The south ern trip of the nine will begin this year about March 1. Corcoran says 1t is doubtful if he rejotns the team much before that time.

ARGUMENTS IN THE WATERBURY
 HERALD CASE

Arguments in the Waterbury Herald case were heard in the superior court yesterday morning. After the opening of court Judge Roraback charged the jury. He also delivered requests which he received from the attorneys which were only partially delivered to the jury. The requests were filed for the reason that the case is new one and it has been decided to elaborate on new points which came up in the trial.
 At the conclusion of the charge to the jury Assistant City Attorney Webb made the opening argument. He spoke at length upon the great amount of harm a paper of the character of the Waterbury Herald could accomplish. Attorney Barbour followed MT. Webb. He stated that the state had failed to show that Mckee who is on trial, had ever sold q Waterbury Herald He stated that the two policemen testified that they bought the Herald of clerks in McKees store, which could not con- vict Mckee of selling the Waterbury Herald.
 The case will go to the jury at ten o'clock this morning.

HAVING FUN WITH T


 Several of our soldiers were guilty of very shabby tricks upon the guileless Boer. A squadron of Lancers in one of the patrols took with them one day a Lancer of straw. This figure was left near a Boer position, and, viewed from a distance, looked a veritable cavalry man. The figure was left on rock, and it was not long before the Boers were having shots at the soldier who so daringly exposed himself. Mauser bul- lets had no effect, and it is alleged that, getting exasperated,e they turned one of their big guns on the dummy. The Liverpools one day set up 8 row of eff1- gies, and the Boers were driven nearly crazy by the indifference these men showed to their fire. Then there was the bogus artillery some of our people constructed one night on the town lands in front of Umbulwana. They were f1g- ures of men and something which looked like fifteen-pounders The Boers blazed away at this battery and knocked particular hell out of it." as an artilleryman, with many delightful grins, said, only to find out that they were being fooled.-London Globe.

BRYAN'S STAMFORD VISIT
SPOKE TO AN AUDIENCE OF ONE
 THOU US.IND.
He Talked Chiefly About Trusts, Im- perialism and the Currency Question and Assaulted the Republican Party.

Stamford, Jan. 24.-William J. Bryan arrived here from New York at 10;55. The train was on time and big crowd had assembled on the depot platform. Some men tried to shake hands with the silver leader, but he accommodated only 0 few. Homer s. Cummings hur- ried him as fast as possible to his car riage and they were driven to the town hall
 The hall was filled, the audience num- bering over a thousand. Most of these were Workingmen, who had been allow ed an hour off to hear Bryan. MT. Bryan was greeted with hearty cheers. He was introduced by MT. Cummings, and so rapidly was the meeting opened that within ten minutes after he had stepped off the train MT. Bryan had opened a speech that lasted over three quarters of an hour and barely left time for the orator to be driven to take lun- cheon with Mr. Cummings and a few friends.
 The speech was about equally divided between the currency question, the trusts and imperialism.
 q believe said MT. Bryan, that the IenuSuCy OI Illc ISPQDiiCdH pcil ly is tC exalt wealth and to debase common humanity. The dollar mark is plainly stamped upon the republican policy, and there is no policy of the republi- cans to-day that does not bear that stamp"
 He went on to say that the repubi- can party Is not applying to-day the principles enunciated in the Declaration of Independence.
 "That principle" he said,' applied to taxation, would mean that every man would bear his just share of the burden of taxation, but now an unjust propor- tion of that burden is placed upon the poor.
 "The republican party is trying to fasten upon the country system Of taxation made by financiers for their own benefit. When the doctrine of fla voritism is once started it cannot be stopped. To fasten the country to the gold standard means that it will be eff fected by every change in Europe. If there is so much disturbance created because England is fighting few Boers who are struggling for their independ- ence what would be the result if Eng land tackled a nation of her size?"
 MT. Bryan then entered into a bitter arraignment of the republican party in connection with trusts. WHO'LL PAY BRYAN'S EXPENSES?
