IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
IMPORTANT DECISION HANDED
 DOWN BY SUPREME COURT.

Case Was That of Ex-Mayor DriscoII vs.
 City of New Haven-The Court Ad-
 jourued Sine Die in the Afternoon
 Superior Court Cnses-Judge Hub-
 bard's ActIon-Other Items.
 A decision was handed down from the supreme court yesterday afternoon in the case of ex-Mayor Cornelius T, Dris- coll vs. the city of New Haven. This is the we'll known West Rock park case. The supreme court advises that the de- murrer of the plaintiff and cross-eom- plaint be sustained and the case dis missed. The defendants were L. Wheel CT Beecher, Jonathan N. Rowe and the Diamond Match company.
 It will be remembered that on July Is, 900, the city voted to buy land in Vest vile adjoining the land of the Diamond Match company and owned by the Hartford Retreat for the Insane, the land to be used for park purposes for the city. The plot of ground was not to cost more than $3,000, S700 of which was to come out of the West Rock park fund, another $700 to be provided by L. Wheeler Beecher and the remaining $1,- 600 to be furnished by the city of New Haven.
 On January 21 of last year an injunc- tion was issued by the plaintiff against the sale of the property, and cross was later filed by the defend- ants. This was followed by demurrer on the part of the plaintiff and the court now holds that both of the de- of the complaint and cross be sustained, which practi- cally throws the case out of litigation.

JUDGE HuRBARD's ACTION.

T Friends of Judge l.. M. Hubbard, of
 the common pleas court, feel that the
 public in general will get a wrong i'm
 pression of the judges good nature as a result of the newspaper articles print ed concerning the case If Juror Micha el Donovan. Mir Donovan last week serv- ed on a jury on the day his daughter died It is pointed out that in sending
 word to MT. Donovan. who had failed
 to appear at the opening of court, Judge
 Hubbard expressly cautioned Chief FL lis, of Ansonia, to be very sympathetic in his words and to explain the position of the court in the matter. It is further pointed out that the case on trial was an aggravating one. The accused va grant had been arrested several times, and his trial was almost finished. MT. Donovan, therefore, was needed only an hour or so to complete the trial. "The judge told me-" said Chief Elis, of An sonia, in discussing the case, that he did not wish to be harsh on the man, and that he would be needed for only a short time. I asked if I should need any papers to bring in the juror, and the judge said no. In the morning I had left word at MT. Donovan's house to have him come over because I thought he would be needed at the un- finished triaL'

 The very name of this book indicates it to be, in a sense, a repetition. Deuter- onomy. literally, "a second word." No more appropriate close to the Pentateuch could be imagined. It is, in a sense, a resume. It's more remarkable parts are Moses farewell benediction and obituary. The practical unity of the Pentateuch IS apparent and admirable It is "a one nve-diyided whole It has been denied that the Pentateuch is d "Mosaid," vet the personality of Moses Is the thread which, In large measure. binds 1t to- gether.
 The inveteracy of black art is one of the curiosities of history. The literature or all nations is strewn with evidences or it.: It is wrought into the monuments inant in Europe in the Middle Ages It survives and has modern forms in our day.
 The evil Of it can scarcely be overesti- mated. It unbalances mind, demoralizes character. There are no short and eso- teric cuts to truth.
 The destruction of the Canaanitish na- tions is confessedly one of the Bible difficulties" It is not be understood, how ever, as an arbitrary Divine decree. but as the inevitable result of the operation or natural law. Their sin made them unit and unable to survive.
 A most pregnant text of the Old Testa- ment is that in which Moses refers to IL. tracing of minute analogies is rather cu- rious than profitable. It is somewhat like the finding of the Christian graces in the spokes of Pharaoh's chariot-wheel. The point of comparison Is not so much personal, as to the mediatorial work of Moses on Sinai. He mediated between God and the people The prophet who was to follow was like him chiefly in this There is a foregleam of the tenderness and humanness of Jesus in the words. "of thy brethren."' He is connected with us in the closest manner We have not a prophet who can not be touched with a feeling of our infirmities.
 Marco Polo, speaking of the city of Sa- bia in Persia, whence the mag set out for Jerusalem with their gifts for Jesus relates a curious tradition current among the fire-worshipers. They relate that In old time three kings of that country went away to worship prophet that was born, and they carried with them three manner of offerings: gold. frankincense and myrrh. in order if that prophet were God or an earthly king or a physician; for, said they, if he take Pold. then he is an earthly king; if he take the incense, he is a God; if he take myrrh he is a physician. When they presented their of ferings, the child accepted all three. and when they saw that they said within themselves that he was the true God. the true King and the true Physician
 The word prophet Is signflcant Its root means to boil The reference Is to be confined, but must find vent. The prophet in any age Is one in whom truth lodges but not as in a receptacle. It is of such quantity and quality that 1t must find vent The prophet speaks whether the people will hear. or forbear.

AGE OF POPULATION.
statement on Its Changes Issued by
 the Census Bureau.

 the Census Bureau.
 washington, Sept 1.-The Census Bu- reau yesterday issued a statement show ing increasing age of the population from oet sde to decade The statement gives the results of computing the median in 7 stead Of the average age. The medan is such an age that half the population is under 1t and half is over it. The median age or the total population in 1900 was 2.s as compared with q 1.9 in 1890 The median age of the whole popula tion Tn the last census year was 23.4, and the colored. including negroes, Indians and Mongolians. was 19.7, while in 1S9) the white population was PA and the colored 18.3.
 The reports show there was an increase In the meiian age of the white popula- t1on during each decade from lSl) to l9oo amounting in the ninety years to "A years. or an average amount of about hve-sixths of year iE a decade. The median age of the colored population in- creased after 1880, but with less regular itl. The median age of the cclored popu- iation increased three years in the seyen- ty-year period from 1890 to 1900 or only about half as fast as that of the whites. But during the last twenty years of the century, the increase for the two groups has been substantially the same 1.9 years for the colored and years for the whites
 The statement concludes as follows:
 Many complex influences have CO., operated in producing as a resultant this steady change In the age composition of tNe population. Three may be mentioned tae rapid progress of medical and sani-

New 1OrK Times.

In selecting a jury bctl. were on their feet most of the time, intent that the other should not gain any possible advantage. At last a juror was drawn who was deaf in one ear. Attor- rey for the defendant made vigorous ob- tectlon. Counsel for the prosecution ar gred that the juror WIS all right and could hear everything with his sound ear. Appeal was made to the court Judge Pennypacker. in the thin, piping voice that is peculiar to him, remarked ::
 "Gentlemen it seems to me that a man cC uld not make a just decision unless he had heard tte case on both sides"

JOHN WAS IN THE RUNNING.
Celestial Did Not Propose to Be
 Outdone by His Rivals.

John Chinaman Is keen1y alive to his own interests and is quick to seize the expedients of the Caucasian to attract business. A Philadelphia store was leased not long ago by a Chinaman, who of course set up as a launderer-the only occupation open to his race in that city Business grew and he prospered, although he was not regarded by his neighbors as their social or moral equal' This did not disturb his equanimity, however, and he kept his eyes open for trade A bar Der on one side of his store hung out sign reading:
 "Open Day and Night.
 A day or two later new sign was hung out by the proprietor of the restau- rant on the other side:
 Meals At All Hours"
 These things suggested enterprise to the ChInaman. who in the course of week owned a new sign that conveyed the fol- lowing information to passers-by:
