Wherever owners, builders and automobile users gather the one topic of general con versation is the bill now awaiting the governors signature. and everywhere the one opinion is that it's enactment as law would drive meter vehicles from New York state and strangle magnificent industry almost at it's birth. The alarm of department store managers is general. Many of these, having changed their delivery systems from horses to automobiles, are par ticularly apprehensive of the delay the provisions of the bill relating to stop ping on signal and passing other vehi- cles would occasion.

SHORT CALENDAR.
Judgment on a Note Was Allowed in
 Boyden-Ford Suit


 Judge Peasley held Short calendar in the district court to-day. A motion for judgment on a note was allowed in the suit of Mrs Alonzo Boyden vs George H. Ford. A bond of $50 was ordered in each of the two cases of Bendoraitis and Yokszakas against the St Kassimir society and on Monday forenoon hearing on a motion for new trial of the case of Lawlor vs titcHcock will be heard. Attorney Guilfoile. counsel for the plaintiff, claims the verdict in this case was en- tirely against the evidence and that the jury in determining the matter did not look into all the evidence that was at hand The suit was to recover $4O0 for rent and verdict was given for the defendant.
 The assignment. of cases for trias were as follows: The White-Simmons company vs Baron Torkomian, Tues day; Baxter vs Liberman, Wednesday; and the Waterbury Wheel club vs Griswold, Thursday. This last case has been in court some years. It is over the distribution of the expenses of holding bicycle race on the base ball grounds. There was some ques- ton as to disqualification of Judges CoweH and Peasley from hearing the case. Judge Cowell, it was stated, considered himself disqualified through previous association with the parties involved and Attorney Seery for the defendant thought Judge Peasley was also disqualified by reason of his hav- ing been a member of the club some time ago. Judge Peasley said he was under the impression that he did have card of membership in the club some years ago, but it was so long ago, and he remembered so little about it, and furthermore as the law says judge shall decide the matter for himself, he considered himself qualified to hear the matter. So it was accordingly set down.
 For May the cases of Alcott and Dingwell vs the Connecticut Railway & Lighting company will be heard and on May the case of Atwood ys At wood. ase

TO VISIT LEO FROM EMBASSY.

Pope's Intervention Causes Preco-
 dent In Receiving English King.
 ROME, April 25.-Great satisfaction is felt at the Vatican at the official an- nouncement that King Edward will visit the pope, although some arrange ment by which the British sovereign would not have to start from the em- bassy for the Vatican would have been preferred.
 The concession that his majesty start from the embassy met with strong op- position from some of the Vatican ad- visers and was only overcome through the personal intervention of the pope, who said he would not allow details of form to interfere with meeting which he much desired, as he wished to main tain with King Edward the same rela- tions and friendly intercourse he had had with his mother.
 At the quirinal, where the point is always made not to interfere with the relations guests desire to maintain with the pope, thus demonstrating the con- plete independence of the papaey, it is remarked that the Vatican in allowing King Edward to start from an embas- By accredited to the king of Italy, q concession hitherto constantly refused, has created 8 precedent that may in the future prove most embarrassing to the holy see.

 WASHINGTON April 25.-The Dec laration of Independence is to be seen no more by the public An order has been issued that henceforth the histor- lie manuscript shall be kept under lock and key in a great fire and light proof safe. The Declaration will never be- exhibited again at any of the great in- ternational fairs.
 This decision was reached as the re- isult of an examination of the docu- ment by committee of the American Academy of Sciences, now in session in this city, who acted at the instance of Secretary Hay, whose attention has been called to the sad state of the fa- nous document by Andrew Allen, li- brarian of the state department. Most of the text of the Declaration is still legible, but only one or two of the sig natures can be made out. There is only a trace of the autograph of John Han. cock. the first to sign.
 Yhe committee, equipped with pow erful microscopes, made careful ex- animation of the Declaration It was found that the ink used was not of the first quality The fact that the engross- CT (now unknown to history used a sharp pen and bore steadily upon 1t accounted in measure for the better preservation of the text as compared with the signatures. The committee recommended that the Declaration be shut in an afr and light tight case and kept from exhibition.
 Yesterday the document was photo graphed and then locked up. The com mittee has recommended that at cer- tain long intervals of time it be taken from its case and rephotographed, the purpose being to measure as nearly as can be done the result of the protective stems

ImySBttEaf1Om to BG Made.
 SPRINGFIELD, Ills, April 25.-The Illinois house of representatives by a vote of 72 to 60 declared ''no confi- dence" in it's presiding officer, Speaker John H. Miller, whose alleged unwar- ranted use of the gavel in furthering a proposed enactment affecting rich street railway franchises in Chicago led to riot Thursday. A committee of five, all personal followers of the speaker, had been appointed by him to investigate the charges of attempted bribery in connection with the passage of the Mueller traction bill. There was a strong feeling among the anti-Miller legislators that there was possibility of 8 whitewash, and steps were taken to increase the committee in such manner as to have the speakers ap- pointees in the minority if anything. in the line of whitewash should be at tempted. The Miller men fought hard to retain the committee as originally appointed, but were 'outvoted, and the report of the committee was made a special order for next Tuesday morn ing.
 The anti-Miller men came into repre- sentative hall determined to force the speaker to prove his charges or with draw them. If he could not readily be induced to act they had decided that no business should be transacted in the house until he had complied with their demand
 They had their own way in every thing from first to last, and the speak er'g forces were defeated at every point.

A GOLDEN JUDGMENT.

A man was arrested not long ago in
Missouri for burglary. 1t seems he had
forced an entrance into large whole
sale store in the business district and
carried off a lot of valuable mercnan-
disc. The entrance was made through
a back window, during the noon hour.
The clerk who was left in charge of
the safe had gone to one of the Offices
in another part of the building. The
safe, containing thousands in gold.
was carelessly left wide open and
access to this fortune was easy. The
thief locked the safe without taking a
cent, but it was discovered later that
every DOUGLAS PATENT CLOSET
had been stolen from the warerooms.
1t is readily seen by this that the
is more valuable than gold to
one who understands values. Bath, the
Plumber, will tell you why. Shop,
