IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
GREAT DEAL OF BUSINESS TRANS
 ACTED YESTERD4Y.

Decision Given in tho Smith Appeal from Probate-The Carroll Wrinn
 the City-Other Court Matters.
 Judge George w. Wheeler of the su- perior court has just given a decision of importance which establishes the standing of foreign corporations and their capacity to act in the adminis- tration of estates. The case in ques- tion is that of the appeal from probate of the Farmers Loan & Trust com pany of New York, in which the es- tate of Edward s. Smith of Water bury was commenced. Mir Smith was and a member of the firm of Smith 6 Griggs, manufacturers of metal goods in Hopeville. MT Smith died in 1900, leaving large estate. After his death two wills came to light. It appears that MT. Smith, owing to domestic diff faculties, executed a second will, but providing In both for his wife and daughter. Mrs. Smith retained posses sion of the first will that was drawn and offered this for probate while an- other which was drawn by ex-Judge Lynde Harrison of this city for MT. Smith before his death, was brought forward. For the latter the Farmers Loan X Trust company was named as while Mrs. Smith sought an appointment as administrative un- der the first will.

PRESS GANG USED TO PUNISH
 HERESY

The most singular case of all occurred in the Island of Butte in 1908. Donald McArthur was minister of dissenting congregation at Port Bannatyne and John Campbell, of Southall, was a mag istrate. Campbell dsapproved of Me Arthur's doctrine Being religiously an gry with him on theological grounds, he became aware that at some earlier period McArthur had been employed in the herring fishery; so he had him ar rested in the middle of divine service, shipped him off to Greenock, and hand ed him over to the impressment officer as fit for service ill the navy The un- fortunate minister was sent on board the Tourrele frigate; from thence was shifted first into one ship, then into an- other but his congregation and friends had not been idle, and at the end of five weeks he was discharged by a special admiralty order, and granted a certif- cate and perpetual protection. He brought an action against Campbell, and that jealous magistrate pleaded in Justification that McArthur preached sedious doctrine, and was liable to im- pressment as fisherman; but he had to pay G105 damages and all costs.- From the Nineteenth Century.

CARROLL-WRINN SUIT.

1 Vest erday in the superior court coun- sel for Anthony Carroll filed demur- Ter to the defendants answer in the l g, 800 suit of Carroll vs Superintendent of Police Wrinn. This is the islander suit dating from January 19. 1899, in which Wrinn in letter to Felix Chil- lingworth, gave false record of Carroll on the police book.
 Judge Roraback in this case recently overruled the defendants demurrer on the ground that the meaning in the complaint must be established by hearing.
 In the demurrer yesterday the plain tiff declares that the answer amounts to an "argumentive denial" of mat ters in the complaint, and is not jus tification of the libel declared in the complaint.
 Yesterday afternoon shortly before 5 o'clock the case of the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company against the city of New Haven began and it was a most important one.
 This matter is the well known case of the trolley roads appeal from an assessment of $36,0OO for the asphalting of West Chapel street, and out Of the trial of this case will be decided the nice question as to whether or not the road can be declared an abutting prop erty owner for the entire length of the section of the street in question.
 At the time the assessment was lev jed, on April 2 1900 the board of com pensation fixed the figures at $5,823. 'rbeee fipI1res were sllbseuJlently raised by the common council to S36,S79 the common council holding that the road was an abutting property owner.
 The road contends that it is not such an owner and appeals. Watrous & Day and Russell appear for the plaintiff and Arvine and Daggett for the city.
 Counsel for the plaintiff in the case have lately argued that there was no notice of the intention of levying the assessment, and that it was made with out due process of law and with denial of the equal protection of the law

A COLOR SCHEME,

 Across the sky the rainbow swings. To us a promise hung in air, We marvel at the color scheme We see depicted there. But just as strange it seems to be, Is this, that nearly every shade, According, as the case may be, In human faces is portrayed! When suitor doth to maid propose, Her cheeks doth glow Red as a rose" When with catastrophe we meet Our faces blanch White as sheet" Thy looks are Yellow with jealousy" When men of too much drink dispose, They oft displayed "a purple nose" Who knoWeth not to some degree, The phrase "She is green with envy?" Then, when you're dull, you're spirits low,
 You'll look as Blue as indigo" There, too, comes to man a stage That turneth him quite "Black with rage" We'll hope that in our nature is Much promise that is sweet and fair, Despite the varying color scheme We know is sometimes there. And all these signs, save one, may be For love will bid the others go-- Gods warnings in His ministry, The rainbow has decreed it so.

Uvucrt0n rhenter. ANDREW MACK IN TOM MOORE TO- MORROW NIGHT.

TOMORROW NIGHT.
 The singing comedian, Andrew Mack, comes to the Hyperion tomorrow night | in his successful play, Tom Moore" | Theodore Burt Sayre has surrounded Tom Moore, the central figure in the play he has written for Andrew Mack, With many personages who have attain ed as much prestige as the loved Celtic bard. Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Da- vid Garrick, Beau Brummel and Lord Byron are introduced, and it places an- other historical figure on the stage and one that stands out from among the countrymen of his time-a patriot, a poet, a troubadour and a man with spotless reputation.
 Moore passed though many romantic and exciting scenes, living in the eXcit- ing days of the Irish rebellion; was schoolmate of Robert Emmett dedicat- ed an ode to the Prince of Wales; be- came reigning favorite in London's most fashionable set and a boon com panion of Byron; won great fame by his ''Lalla Rookh;" and Sayre, the youthful American playwright, wins honor in re- producing Moore's character upon the
  play, which captures the public. Mack, the sweet-voiced comedian, will invest the play with number of Moore's most popular successes, notably Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms" "Evelyn's Bower" and Loves Young Dream" all of which have been consist ently written in. MT Mack has, of course, written his usual quota of pop ular melodies. This will be interesting to Mack's many admirers, whose only complaint about the actor-singer has been that he did not sing enough. They will, however, have no reason to offer this argument in Tom Moore Seats now selling. Prices ST. 75 cents, 50 cents, 35 cents and 25 cents.
 Mime. Emma Nevada will introduce an innovation in her recital at the Fly perion on Friday evening, December 20. Selections from her favorite operas will be sung and the diva will dress in the costume of the character to whom the song belongs. Mignon La Perle GU Bresil, Traviata, Lakme, La Somnam- bula and many other famous works will be drawn upon by Mime. Nevada for her programmes, and interest in her performances will be enhanced when it Is added that she is the ideal singer of these roles-the last of the great expo nents of the great coloratura school Of l singing, the school of Jenny Lind, Pat | ti, Gerster, Grisi and other magnificent | artists. Mime Nevada will be assisted | by Pablo Casals, violoncellist; Moreau, the pianist: Maquarre, the f1utist, and | Gregory Heath, basso.

The contest between the Democracy
and the man who seeks to betray it will
be fought without any local complica-

fluenced in this contest by the desire
to elect local favorites and thus swap

be clear cut. The organization of the
Commercial Democracy" another
name for Mckinley Democracy, will
have to be consummated in shorter
time and under much less favorable
conditions. Our party has the opportu-
nifty to rebuke and punish treachery at
once as warning to those who may be
wavering. Many good men will be pre-
vented from becoming Republicans in
fact, though not in name by having the
issues explained before they have al
ligned themselves under the new BAN

struck off of those who have proven
unworthy to wear 1t and they will be
made to understand the difference be-

alert as ever. sat on fence at the side
of the road leading into Becketts Mill
from the south. His attitude was such
as to denote that be was absorbed In
earnest thought. which he was. He
was recalling scenes and events Of past
days and was so lost to the present as
to be totally oblivious Of everything
about him. So unconscious of his sur
roundings was be that he was not even
aware of the approach Of two men,
dusty and travel stained. who Wearlly
plodded their way along the hard.
white road.

parture from Beckett's Mill Though
four years had passed since that time
Sim had never returned, and the people
Of Possum Ridge were no wiser as to
his whereabouts than they had been
the day he left. A large reward had
been offered for his arrest, and the off.
cials, stimulated by the hope Of earn.
ing the money, had made strenuous eff.
forts to locate him. But 1t had been all
In vain. Now and then there had
come reports to Beckett's Mill to the
effect that Sim had been captured; but
as is usual with such reports. 1t always
turned out case Of mistaken identity
Pap was wondering where Sim coult
have gone to hide himself so complete
ly and whether he was still among the
living. He was wondering. too, wheth.
er If Sim still lived he would ever re.
turn to Possum Ridge and if he return,
with such thoughts as these the old
man was busy when he was suddenly
aroused and shocked by some one close
to him saying quietly:
"Why, howdy, Pap Sampson?"
Pap started and looked quickly
around, and, his eyes falling on q
bearded, sun tanned face, his mouth
fell open and he stared in stupid
amazement for almost a minute. Then
he rubbed his eyes and stared again.
Lord a-massy" he exclaimed at
last. Am l dreamin. or is that rally
Sim Banks?'
ut is rally Sim Banks, Pap" the
other replied; whats left Of him any,
way"
Pap was down off the fence in the
twinkling Of IN eye, and the next mo-
ment he had Sim by the hand, shak-
ing it with a heartiress that was al.
most painful.
Great land Of Goshen" he cried
"Who'd "a thought it? Lord a-massy!
It's shore old Sim, amt it!'
81 guess it is, Pap. Are you sur,
prised to see me?"
"Surprised to see you! Why, Lord, !
wouldn't be no more surprised if the
sky was to drop. But think Of the
devil an he's shore to make bis ap,
pearance, as the old sayin goes"
"Were you thinkin of me?"

eyes, I've done some fghtin."
"But you wasn't killed, bless the

"Not quite"
HE came next thing to it, though
Sims companion volunteered.
'Is that 500" Pap cried. "Waal, III
be smitched! You come moughty nigf
gittin killed?'
