sixteen years, and his first story was
printed in a private magazine published in

editors before Mr.. jerome accepted 1t for

of the lower Thames when living as a boy
at Mapping, where his father had a wharf.
Mr.. Jacobs finds the reputation Of being
humorous at times irksome. People who

Miss Agnes Repplier, the essayist, whose
home is in Philadelphia, is about TO go
abroad for a years stay. Speaking of her
work, and apropOs of a remark which made
mention of some quotations of which she
had made use in one of her essays, Miss
Repplier said: Isn't that an awful habit
of mine, that quoting? Really. L think il is
vicious, and l promise you am trying very
hard to overcome il. The great trouble is

SUPERIOR COURT NEWS.
Case of the Fountain Water Go of An
 sonia Being Heard To-day.

In the superior court room to-day hearing was held before a committee appointed by the superior court, con sisting of r. J. Kingsbury, N. J. Well ton and Hiram Jacobs, treasurer Of the county The nearing was to de- eide the value of q stream appropri- ated by the Fountain Water company, which supplies the residents of West Ansonia with water. The stream was owned by Lucius B. and Alton T. Ter rell of Ansonia, and assisted in sup plying their mill with power. The company, it seems, acted like the Irish man who first stole kiss from pret- ty girl and then asked her permission to take it. But the company is willing to pay for it, and it was at its request that the committee was appointed to ascertain the value of the stream to the Terrells.
 To-days hearing was series or others which have been held i'll An sonia. Quite number of people ap- pear to be interested in the issue. City Engineer Scovill of Bridgeport was on the stand the greater part or the morning giving expert testimony regarding rainfalls, the horse power of a certain depth, the number or gal Ions, the number of cubic feet and the area it would cover at q certain depth. By way of illustration MT Scovil fur- nished the following figures:
 A rainfall aggregating 46 inches III year i'll territory like that i'll ques- ton would mean a fall of 3.339, ,6oo,oOo bounds of water; or. i'll gallons, IL would be 300,OOo,0o0. An area of one square mile one inch deep would De covered by a fall of 2,323,200 gallons Of the last mentioned quantity. loo'- sa7 900 feet would be available for nse Such was the trend of the heaf- ing.

THE ELKs HAD A BIG TIME.
Social Session at Charleston Hotel Was
 q Pronounced Success.


 Pronounced Success.
 The Charleston Evening Post or Wednesday, gives the following account of an Elks' social session which Was arranged by Frank r. Shanley, former ly of this city:
 ..S,1ch q headacher' was the weary exclamation of sundry members Of the noble order of Elks when they awoKe this morning and realized that they had drunk too many orange phosphates at the social session of that organlza- tion in the banquet hall of the Charles ion hotel last night. 1t was really calorific function, for the Elks know how to have hot old time when they assemble for that purpose. Greau credit is due Frank P. Shanley, char man of the committee of arrangements. and w. Irving Davids, manager of the Charleston hotel, who labored hard to make the entertainment the jolly sue cess it was.
 It is unnecessary to say that when the old year Hmped into the past ana the new year was rung ill the event did not pass unnoticed by the Elks and their visitors. The program was varied and thoroughly pleasing, and many of the vaudeville turns were undeniably clever.
 R. G. McFerran of the Norfolk, Va, lodge was master of ceremonies, so to speak, and he proved himself q jolly good fellow in the right place. 4 pleasant incident of the evening was the presentation to W. Irving Davids of handsome emblem of the order as a token of the love and esteem of his brtheren.
 It was about 4 a. m. before the boys agreed to do business with tired na- ture's sweet restorer, though some of them, owing to stress of circumstances. had wisely sought the seclusion of their apartments some hours before the finish.
 The following was the program of the session.:

Our Representation at Coronation.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. At is un- derstood that way may be found by which two naval officers of high rank will take part in the coronation cere- monies at London. The question of selecting officers for this service has not yet been considered by the presi- dent or the secretary of the navy, but the prospect that such selections will be made has caused much speculation in naval circles. The present indica- tions are that the president will select civilian representative for the ooro- nation and also one officer of the army and one officer of the navy to accom- pany this civilian. Quite apart from this, the navy will be represented by a squadron in English waters, with a rear admiral in command. The effect of this arrangement will be to place two naval officers of high rank in serv- ice in connection with the coronation.
