Attorney Harrison, of Wallingford, ap- peared for John l.. Williams, jr., and Attorney Hamilton for three other sons. John s. Williams, jr,, of Wallingford. was left $500 and one-quarter share of the estate. Each of the three other brothers was given one-fourth after the deduction of the $500. A clause in the will provided that any contest was to cut off the appellant. It is understood that the claim is to be that John S., jr., proflted by undue influence, while the claim on John S.'s side is that the extra $500 was given to him for services which he performed. The whole estate is worth $2,500.

NOMIN1L DAMAGES FOB YOUNG SWELTLANDj GIVEN $50 AND COSTS
Judge Roraback's Finding Brothers Contest WiII-BoyIan Dies in Jail perior Court-Cases in the City Court.

Yesterday Judge Roraback handed down a decision in the $5,000 damage suit of William Sweetland vs. the Yale & Towhe Manufacturing company. The plaintiff, who at the time was a four teen-year-old boy, had his arm drawn into machinery at the works of the firm by whom he was employed on Decem- Der 31, 1898, and so injured that it has ever since been practically useless. The case had been defaulted for hearing in damages.
 Judge Roraback says: "The evidence showed that the plaintiff fully knew and appreciated this danger, and that he was injured by inattention to his work or carelessness. Under the facts and circumstances I find that the de- fendant was not liable for the injury. Judgment is rendered for the plaintiff to recover the nominal sum of $50 and costs.'

The Statue.

The marble waits, immaculate aud rude;
Beside It stands the sculptor, lost in dreams.
With vague. chaotic forms, his vision teens.
Fair shapes pursue him, only TO cludc
And mock his eager fancy. Lines of grace
And heavenly beauty vanish, and, behold
ont through the Parian luster pure and cold,
Glarcs the wild horror of a devils face.
The clay is ready for the modelling.
The marble waits; how beautiful, how pure
That cleaning substance and 1t shall endure
when dynasty and empire, throne and king
Have crumbled back to dust Well may you
pause,
Oh sculptor artist and. before thut mute,
Tnshapcn surface, stand irresOlutc!
AwfHl, indeed, are arts uuchnnginy laws
The thins you fashion out Ofscnsclass clay.
Transformei to marble, shall outlive your
fame
And. when no more is known your race, or
name
Men shall BE- moved by what you mold to-day.
We all are sculptors. By each act and thought,
We form the model. Time the artisan.
Stands. with his chiscl, fGshioning the Man,
And stroke by stroke the masterpiece is
wrought
Angel or demon: Choose, and do not err
For time but follows rs you shape the mold
And finishes in marble, stern and cold.
That statue of the sonl, the character,
By wordcs, blessing or by silent curse,
By act and motive-sO do you define
The image which time copies iinc by line,
For the great gallery of the Universe.

in numbers as in the preceding
congress, will be more compact
and more aggressively led.
Populist and silver republi-
cans will not flock by them

Teller of Colorado, Heitfeld

Insincerity Toward Cuba

lieving that the ADMINISTRATION
never intended that Cuba
should be free; that the action
taken w deliberately design
ed to defeat the national com.
pact to that end and prolong
the military occupation, which
holds Cuba under an irrespon-
sible power. Mr.. Mckinley
has from the first played fast

mothers on the east side of New

Sometimes the baby and the lit.
