So fall in line, one and all, great and small. You'll find just what you want, and the only disappointme you will experience will be happy dis appointment when you realize that you have made big hit and saved several good dollars
 But go early. Get your suit or over coat, and then, if you want to, you can go to the ball game. You'll save enough to do that and have some cash to spare, See advertisement.

TOR A SERVICE PENSION.
o. IT. PLATT OF CON-
 NECTICUT
In.rodus.a in U. .. s.s.s. Y..s.rs.y the Service Psn.lon R.solu,ion. Adopted by This State.

Tn Washington yesterday Senator o. H. P1att introduced in the senate the resolutions, adopted by the last legisla- ture of Connecticut. urging congress to pass the bill, introduced by Senator Scott. to grant a service pension of SIP per month to all honorably discharged Union soldiers who served not less than ninety days in the War of the Rebel lion, to date from the time the soldier reaches the age of sixty-two.
 The Connecticut members of the house have also received similar reso- lutions and will present them in the house later.
 There have already been several bills introduced in the house on the line pro- posed by the resolution. The age limit differs in the various bills, but all are looking towards a uniform rate of SIP per month. There is growing senti- ment in congress in favor of some such bill, and it would not be at all surpris- ing if one passed this session.
 The committee on invalid pensions will consider all these bills as soon as organized, and will make up one of their own, provided there is any chance to get such bill through.

Case in the superior court yesterday afternoon.
IN rHE PROBATE COURT.

.
 There was a hearing in the probate court yesterday morning on the account of Edwin R. Kelsey, administrator Of the David R. Benton estate. Objection to the account was made by Attorney P. W. Chase, counsel for F. H. Benton and Lewis Benton, sons of David B. Benton and former executors under the latter's will. -. . .-.
 Administrator Kelsey has put in his account a charge of $25,307 against the former executors. He says they owe this money because they invested it in stocks which have proved worthless. Some of the stock referred to is the stock of the National Folding Box and Paper company, concern in which F. H. Benton was formerly heavily inter- ested. The report also says the funds of the estate were mixed up by the ex- ecutors. ,.
 Attorney Chase said the report should not be accepted, because it was based on a former report made out in 1893. He said the report should go back fur ther, even to the inventory.
 The Benton estate was inventoried for $169,000. The executors were re- moved by their own consent some months ago. Mrs. Bush, of Denver, who is their sister, had made objection to them.
 The hearing yesterday was adjourned indefinitely. The administrators ac- count may be changed before there is another hearing.
 Talcott H. Russell is counsel for the administrator.

MISS HARRIsoN,s WILL.

The generosity of Miss Sarah B. Har- rison, sister of the late Henry B. Har- rison, was not confined to public char ities and institutions. Miss Harrison had no relatives nearer than cousins,
 and they are all remembered in the will under which Yale university, the New
 Haven hospital and the other organiza- tions for the public good were be- queathed various sums of money.
 Miss Harrison extended her generos- ity to Miss Eva A. Gilker, the nurse
 who for the past seven years has been
 a constant attendant on the family of
 the late Governor Harrison and subse-
 quently that of Miss Harrison. Miss
 Gilker is made beneficiary to the
 amount of $20,00e outright by the terms of the will, and in addition to that she is made the residuary legatee. That is, she is to receive all that is left in the estate after all the other specific be- quests are paid. Just what they will amount to it is impossible to tell at this time, but it will
 doubtless be a considerable amount. It was said yesterday afternoon that it
 might amount to anywhere from $1o,- O00 to $60000. Miss Gilker was graduated from the
 Connecticut Training School for Nurses in this city about ten years ago. Dur ing her stay in the Harrison family
 Miss Gilker has been highly regarded,
 and Miss Harrison was greatly attach
 ed to her, as is shown by the liberal be- quest in the will. She now lives at 266
 Crown street, but is not native of New Haven.
 Very favorable comments are heard
 on the terms of the gift of $100,0O0 to Yale, and for the reason that there are no restrictions as to the objects to which it shall be devoted. It is so left, and, in fact, specified, that the income shall be applied to such purposes as the corporation shall designate.
