A METEORIC YOUTH.

But His Father Still Has Hopes for Him.
 Into five weeks of the seventeen years
 of his life Henry H. Henley, son of
 Attorney J. E. Henley, 5037 Grand boulevard has crowded a disappearance
 from the University of Indiana, visit | to Indianapolis, elopement with a young woman of that city to Chicago, marriage, assertion and a second dis appearance this time-persumab bly, to New York
 For all of these statements the father of the young man is authority, with the exception that his son frequently has shown signs of an impaired mind and that he has intervals when impulse drives him to do embarrassing acts.
 The peculiar caprices of young Hen ley became public yesterday when the father sought the aid of the police in locating the missing boy. It is now the fathers avowed purposes to take measures that will henceforth relieve him from the responsibility of vagaries that already have cost him dearly.
 The present disappearance brought to a sudden end honeymoon of seven udyS SpCllJ NllIl DlS DI lUt dl IIlG IdlHlGI House The wife, according to her hus- bands father, has returned to her home in Indianapolis heart sick and in tears.
 Henley has an uncomfortable desire to buy things. Among the purchases delivered at the door of his rooms in the university town were boilers and mechanical appliances of various kinds. Sometimes the bill amounted to as much as $500 but that did not dismay Henley, so long as his father settled the accounts.
 Finally big bills began to come in with such frequency that the elder Henley warned manufacturers and merchants not to sell anything to his son. Moreover, he took his son person. ally to task for his reckless expendi- lures, and thereupon the boy admitted that there were times when he would rather do queer things than eat, times when he couldn't help buying whatever fancy prompted him to.
 Henley is said to be precocious youth. He was graduated from a Chicago high school at the age of 14 In school he showed a remarkable apt ness in the study of electrical engineer ing and mechanics
 Henry has great inventive genius, said Attorney Henley "He is phe- nomenon in some ways, and if he ever gets over the mania that seems to affiict him and acts normally I believe he will be great inventor"
 Henley gave out the impression that he was going to New York, but his father thinks he has not left Chicago MT. Henley, batter, has not learned posi- lively the identity of the Indianapolis girl whom his son married, but says she is the daughter of prominent resident of the Indiana capital whose home, he believes, is at 40 North West street, Chicago Tribune.

crease in the importance of Tsing-tac from this point of view.
 The main conclusion, therefore, is that while the new German port cannot expect to rival an emporium like Shanghai, nor even it's Manchurian counterpart, Dalny, since Dalny is at the end of an infinitely greater railway system, yet it is destined to extract what commercial profit there is out of the province of Shantung, and, consid- erlng the thrifty nature of the people and the mineral prospects of the coun- try, that profit is not un likely to be con- siderable, That the capital spent on
 Tsing-tao can ever be exactly repaid
 in hard cash no one can imagine. But it would be wise at the same time to
 inquire whether Russia will ever get an
 exact commercial return for her expen-
 allure at Port Arthur Primarily Tsing-
 tao is a naval base, and the money, or
 large part of it, has to be spent re-
 gardless of direct commercial consider
 ations.
 From political point of view Tsing-
 tao is not without it's advantages. It
 has given rise to the Shan-tung Rail
 way company, which in it's turn neces-
 sitates a military guard. When I was at klao Chau a guard of 120 mounted men was on it's way to Kaumi, and a similar force will accompany the line to Wei-hsien and beyond, so that when the railway has reached Tsip-nan, cap- ital of the province, there will be a line of German troops through Shantung inc p1y i,, churia.
 Other foreign powers should not be lulled to sleep by the apparently scut- tie of Germany from China. In reality she is going along quietly with her work, more determined, perhaps, than ever. Not only is Tsing-tao being de- veloped commercially, but it's defenses are now being taken in hand, and by the time Shan-tung is ready to be ab- sorbed the forts at Tsing- tao will be completed. On the whole, the neglected spot on the Shan-tung coast which British officials, both civil and military, dismiss at present with something like contempt, is likely to play prominent part in Chinese history in the next ten years. have no wish to exaggerate it's importance. The German govern ment is by no means infallible. Great mistakes have been made at Tsing- tao, as in the case of the small har- Dor, and red tape is still in the ascen- dant. I have even heard prominent German merchant of Tien-Tsin VOW that he would never settle in a purely German port like Tsing-tao if he could help it. But the testimony of the Chi nese merchants is in such cases of the first importance, and beyond a doubt the Chinese believe in Tsing- -tao.-Lon- don Post

TWO BAD AMERICANS.

Under Protection of the Flag Have
 --- Blackma1led Taku Villages
 Tien Tsin, Friday. Jan Is. The United States transport Sumner, which has arrived at Taku brought l5O troops to replace Americans who had been 1nvalided.
 TWO deSerterS from the American troops, with an American flag, have re- gently committed acts of depreciation in the surrounding country and have blackmailed the villagers. Both were captured, but one succeeded in making his escape, and is still at large. It Is probable that they will be shot Three Sikhs, who We're found guilty of simi- lar acts, were taken to the scene of their depredations to-day and given fifty 1ashes each. Many lawless acts are being committed. A French sol dier has been sentenced to term of i've years in prison for drawing his baGonet upon an Australian policeman. Two Frenchmen have been shot and an American has been stabbed in sa- loon brawls. The French soldiers dra " their bayonets upon the slightest prov ocation.

ENFORCED SPELLING REFORM.

The man who lays hands upon a college professor save in the way of Kindness is villain. \ writer for d magazine whose fancy has been kindled by the newspaper reports of the meetings of philologists, oriental ists. spelling reformers and others during holiday week suggests that colleges should compel their teachers to attend these reunions. The thing could be done, of course. Unwilling scholars could be caught and crated and sent on as to q poultry show. This would be the last blow at the tottering ruin of free thought. We have al ready gone far enough in curtaiIing the liberties of college professors. Hemmed in by barriers of good taste and common sense, despoilel of the divine right of nonsense. a college pro- lessor cannot leave his class room to lead mob without being d1sci- plined by the money power. Now that his freedom of speech is gone here comes an attack on the freedom of his person. It is inspired no doubt by some bad rich man. but his gold cannot buy us, and we do not believe it can buy this great people, broad land.- star-grit continent, home of rhe Pilgrims on whose shores and so forth. Those meetings of spelling reformers and others shall be free, no more ar tificlal convergence of men who have been dumped there. It is because they are still free that they are so buoyant and delightful. Violence either in compelling attendance or intercepfS ing fugitiyes would spoil them.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

CLOVES WINS.
Judge Thayer Hands Down De-
 cision in Injunction Case.
PLANT MAY GO TO BUFFALO.

If Cloves Wins the Final Round. Wa.
 terbury Will Lose the Randolph.
 Gloves Company-If New Stock Is
 Issued Hereafter, Mir Cloves Must
 Be Given a Chance to Purchase H1s
 Share.
 In the injunction suit entered by oeorge ii. Gloves on January 2 against Charles Miller ct al, restrain- Ing. them from issuing new stock, and "nlcn was argued before Judge Thay- er last week in the superior court in NeW Haven. Decision was handed uoWn to-day in favor of MT Cloves. Ah1s Is the second point of great val ce winch has been decided in AIr CloWes's favor. This means that eventually if the main case Is also de. c1ded against Mir Miller ct al, that the greater part of the plant of the Ran oolph-CloweS company will be removed 10 Buffalo. Attorney O'Ne1Il, counsel Tor MT Cloves, remarked to-day ioy- ously. but with some meaning neyer- theless, that Mir Cloves had already bought his ticket and has learned the nrst Of the popular song, 'Let Me Off at Buffalo,
 The decision of Judge Thayer is as follows in it's entirety:
 George H. Cloves vs Charles Miller
 and Others. Superior Court, New Ha4
 ven County, at Waterbury, January
 22, 1901.
 Having heard the parties to said case upon motion to show cause why the temporary injunction granted in said cause should not be dissolved, made to me on January lAth, 1901. it appearing to me that sufficient cause exists why said injunction should be continued, it is ordered that said tem- porary injunction be continued until further order of said superior court.
 JOHN NJ. THAYER,
 A Judge of the Superior Court.
 "A true copy,
 Attest, SAMUEL J. MARSH,
 Assistant Clerk
 This disposes of the fear enter. tained by MT Gloves and his counsel that at the annual meeting of the company, which will be held next month in New Jersey, that additional stock would be issued by some means which Mir Miller ct al had devised un. known to them. The meeting can be- held now and new stock can be fs- sued, but Mir Cloves must be given his share, provided, of course, that he has the wherewithal to buy it. And on this point his way Is clear; for he is said to have the backing of m1llionss His portion of the new stock.. if any will now be issued, with that which the superior court has decided he has the right to purchase, that is the stock he was given an option on by Obadiah Randolph, administrator of the es- tate of Edward Randolph, Mr. r.Clowes.s old partner, will retain in him the ma jor interests in the concern. Thus far the tide of this lengthy litigation flows Mir Clowes's way. ,

TWO WILLS MAKE TROUBLE.
Changed His Mind About Leaving His
 Wife ExecutriX,

Wife Executrix.
 The two wills left by the late Ed ward s. Smith of this city are begin ming to form q source of income for q number of lawyers. The first step in the contest between the widow and the Farmers Trust and Loan company of New York began in earnest yester- day in the probate court in New Ha- ven.~ In the first will MT Smith nom- mated his widow executrix of his es- tate and in the second he curtai1s her income from his estate and dischars- es her from the place of eXecutr1x and appoints the above named corporation The first point of contention between the two parties is certain insurance policies which Mrs Smith signed for and the receipts for which, it is claimed, are in the possession of the Farmers Loan and Trust company Consequently, the insurance companies will not pay the insurance policies un- til the law has settled the contest as to whom it shall be paid
 Mir Smith died last summer, leaving an estate valued at about S6O. .OOO His family consisted of his wife and one daughter. Before his death he had Il disagreement with his wife, and it is said that it was on this account he removed her from the place of ex- ecutrix of his will. While the first will gave her complete control of the esrate and provided for Miss Smith when she should have attained the age of 2l, the second will cut off Mrs Smiths authority, curtafled her in come under the will and extended the time by four years for handing over to his daughter the legacy he left her. Judge Lowe in the local probate court decided that the Farmers Loan and Trust company was incapable of ex- ecuting the trust named in the will and it is this decision that has created the conflict between Mrs Smith and the above named concern.

WHAT THE LAW REALLY MEANS
Which Says the Comptroller
 Shall Be City's Buyer.
Some of the City Officials Hold That It Refers Only to Current Supplies Others Take the Ground That It Means Everything For Which q Dollar Has to Be Expended.

Much has been said from time to tlme during the past few months in the aldermanic chamber regarding al- legged reckless conduct on the part of the board of education. but 1t Is doubt ful if the facts would warrant such lnsinuations, for it is generally be- Heved that the board of education comes about as near living up to the charter as any of the other depart ments. At 9 meeting of the board of public works last night some one asked if the board was obliged to get q reGuisition from the comptroller be- fore carrying out vote to purchase water pipes or other supplies. Every body was of the opinion that such q course was not necessary. Engineer Cairns remarklng that this clause in the charter had reference to current supplies only. Probably that is the way the courts would interpret it, but thar is not the meaning ordinary mor- tals take from the reading of it. Just see for yourselves. Here 1t is:
 The comptroller shall be the pur- chasing agent for said city and all its departments. and no claim for any ar ticle furnished said city or any of it's departments shall be paid unless the same was ordered by said comptrol- ler''
 Some people claim that horses, whether for the fire or street depart menJ, school sites and every blessed thing that Is bought for the city should be purchased by the comptroller, so that according to that way of looking at 1t none of the boards Is complying 5 with the charter. But it does seem that the intent of the charter was to fix things SO that heads of depart ments could not run here and there and contract bills of their own accord and then call upon the city to settle, a trick performed by cur republican friends short time ago, when they got copies of the charter printed in Hartford and sent them here and there among their friends and then made the city come down with the dust, al- though no one in authority to act in that capacity ever received one of the charters or, had any knowledge that the expense was to be charged to the city until Case. Lockwood & Bra1nard sent them l reminder in the form or I statement calling for 3 neat little sum. Or course somebody kicked and then somebody else kicked. but finally the kicking ceased and the bill was paid And this happened while the law we have quoted was in force, and some of the men who signed than bill don't hesitate to state that the, pur- chase of a whisk broom for the city without q requisition from the comp troller is an open violation of the charter
