THE BURTON HOLMES LECTURES.

The Course Opens on Monday Evening, March 5, at the Hyperion.
 On Monday morning, February 26, at the Hyperion box office, the sale of
 course tickets for the annual appear
 ance of Burton Holmes begins for the series for this, his seventh season.
 Every returning finds him with his
 many friends in this city, his reception growing more and more cordial with each new season. During the past sum-
 mer Mr. Holmes has sought the pictur- |esque, the quaint, the strange and the
 beautiful in lands further than ever
 from home, mourning added dangers of
 fever and war, in the Philippines during
 the deadly rainy season, that his audi
 ences might see, as with their own eyes,
 the conditions as they now exist. The
 better to convey truthful pictures of scenes in this andother far-away coun
 tries upon which he will lecture, he took
 with him a motion picture machine in addition to his regular cameras, and will show, in immediate connection with his lectures, motion pictures giving characteristic glimpses of activity on these islands and other lands While in the Orient he revisited Japan, pene- trating the rural districts where the charm of Japanese country life still ob- tains, giving food for an entirely new lecture on this charming country. Round About Paris" his third topic, is most timely in view of the approach ing exposition, and deals, not only with the great metropolis and it's by-ways seldom visited, but especially relating to his rambles a-wheel through the woods of Fontainebleau and Compiegne and visits to the old chateaux of Pierre fonds and Coucy--and sojourn at Mont San Michel.
 The lectures closing the New Haven series are '"The Grand Canyon" and "Moki Land,' the former the most at tractive of last seasons lectures and the latter, sequel to it, dealing with the and picturesque life of f'the Moki Indians in Arizona, their barbaric rites and peace and unique daily exist snce. The first of these lectures will be given at the Hyperion theater on Mop- day evening March 3.

AN EULOGIsTIC TRIBUTE
Paid to the Memory of Sarah Porter by
 Professor Merriam.

Paid to the Memory of Sarah Porter by
 Professor Merriam
 | At the funeral of Miss Sarah Porter
 in Pennington on Wednesday afternoon
 Professor Merriam of the Hartford l Theological seminary spoke on the life of Miss Porter, in which he emphasized her strong personality. She was hon. ored, he, said in the community in which she made her presence felt, and honored throughout the land. Molding young women of generations into the noble type of simplicity and earnest nett which comes from the beauty of the soul was her life work. and how rich were it's contents! Miss Porter stood for strong personality, not only for her own personality, but in her esti- mate of it she deemed it to be the end and object of education Her individ- uality gave her force and made her school peculiarly her own. She was ever ready to welcome the new, but would not go to extremes and thereby lower the essential scholarship. She combined with strength and sweetness the leadership of her great presidential brother, but withal was a womanly wo- man. Her morning recreation at eighty years of age was reading the Greek tragedies in the original and the study of theology was her advocation, and yet she was tender mother, wise coun- sellor and kind friend to the pupils of her school, many generations of noble women. She loved the old things of the town of Pennington, and had the es- sential New England spirit, but not that particular manifestation of 1t that is often thought of Her ideals were those of character, and she carried cool, intellectual self containment of en- thusiasm that lifted all who came under her influence.
 Professor Frank K. Sanders of Yale university spoke briefly and in a rem iniscent mood of Miss Porter as one who had for time been member of her official family and admitted to the intimacies of her home life. She was ever the same genuine, straightforward self, the rivers of her life ran deep and still with inevitable effect upon the verdure of it's banks. To know her was a revelation and great joy because of her ideals of true culture, which really meant the intellect and the soul devel- oped alright. Her personality was win some lively and charming in the best sense.
 Rev. pr. Johnson of Harrington also testified to the love of Miss Porter for the town of her birth, and he paid a glowing tribute to her many great quail ties

To be Reproduced by Stereopticon at
 the First Methodist Church.
 Tissot's paintings of the Life of Christ" will be reproduced in their orig- inal colors by the aid of the stereopti- con at the First Methodist church on Monday evening, February 26. Cleve- land Moffett, who will exhibit these pictures, is writer and lecturer of recognized ability. He followed with his camera in the track of the great painter and familiarized himself with the scenes and subjects of which he is to tell his hearers in his lecture. As to the pictures themselves they are too we'll known to call for much comment here. While in exhibition in New York city they were daily visited by large crowds, and their popularity in Boston was such that they were detained in that city much longer than was the original intention. The opportunity for all to see these pictures in their original colors has now come to New Haven. There will be two other lectures in the course, on March 1, "JeTusalem and Palestine" and on March Turkey, the Land of Mystery"

10 speak of the flag as Old Glory, a
 term that might properly be applied to the tricolor of France, but would scarcely have been deemed appropriate Tn former times to our own national standard. It has never heretofore been an emblem of conquest. It is now sought to make it such. The more 1t becomes an emblem of conquest the less 1t will become an emblem of free dom If the expansion policy Is to pre- vail, it must wave over subject na- tions without full political rights. It must also float over a people who, for an empty dream of foreign empire, have sacrificed large portion of their freedom of action

Their Mischief Causes Many Fals

Their Mischief Causes Many False
 Alarms in West Haven.
 The officials of the West Haven fire department believe they have located the cause of the numerous recent false alarms that have been sent in. It has been hitherto supposed that these false alarms were caused by the wires be- coming crossed. The street boxes, how ever, were not tempered with and this idea was abandoned. The headquar- ters of the fire alarm system is in the engine house near the town hall and it is suspected that some one who has had access to that building has sent them from that station.
 A detail has been on watch lately and the nuisance has not been repeated.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
L4WYERS URGE ASSIGNMENT OF
 JUDGES IN JURY CASES.
Local Attorneys Claim That There Is Enough Business in New Haven C0un- Around Many Cases Tried Yesterday.

ty to Keep Jury the Whole Year
 Around-M Many Cases Tried Yesterday.
 The agitation among the lawyers for a continued jury session of the civil superior court received an impetus yes terday in the open discussion between eX-Judge Henry Stoddard and George M. Gum on the one side and Talcott H. Russell on the other. The two for mer in their motion vigorously urged to have a case assigned and MT. Russell made vigorous opposition. Judge Ralph Wheeler ordered court opened at 9:45 for the purpose of assigning jury eases and as many as fifty lawyers were on hand to greet him. The counsel were interested in Bayard Taylor's appeal from probate, contested will case from Milford in which is involved an un- known amount of property. The ap- pellant, represented by MT. Russell, Is a minor of ten years. Under his fla ther's will he was left $l5,000. When the executors under the will sought to inventory the estate they met with opposition from partner of the testa- tui A ANGM plUhSl Wio CloiihSu that there was nothing due from the partnership to the testator, but that on the other hand he owed the partnership $300,000. A suit for an accounting Is now pending.
 The appellees claimed the right to an immediate assignment of the case, claiming it is privileged. They were anxious to dispose of it, and felt that if it was not assigned immediately that there was little chance for a trial dur ing the present term. Judge Wheeler refused to assign it ahead of other cases, in order, on the list.
 The importance of the incident, dis playing as it did the zeal and diligence of the lawyers to get cases assigned, is the apparent necessity of a continual jury session in the superior court, But to have such a session will call for two additional superior court judges and a bill making provision for them will be introduced at the next session of the general assembly.
