That New York Police Officer Who Tn
 herited New Haven Property.
 New Haven, May 22.-Roundsman William B. Glhooly of the Naw York police department and family, who ex- pected to realize from $15,OO0 to $2O,- coo from the estate of Mary Ann Rey- holds, will get practically nothing. An inventory of the estate filed yesterday showed that Mrs Reynolds was worth only $474.5O. The decrease in her es- tate comes about through mortgages on the property owned by Mrs Rey- holds at 118 Cedar street and 63 Spring street.
 It now comes about that the persons who were left sums of 25 cents and $1 each will get more than those who ex- pected to inherit thousands. The $474.50 will be completely used in the payment of special bequests and legal expenses. Out of the invent0rfed amount $20O must go for masses and a bequest to St Bernard's cemetery. Then there are funeral expenses. the payment of $50 to two persons in Ire land and $5 each to several other per sons. By the time these bills are all paid together with the 25-cent and $1 bequests the Gilhooly family will have nothing.
 Roundsman Gilhooly yesterday quail flied as executor of the will and wifi proceed to wind up the estate. The mortgages were a great surprise and a disagreeabIe discovery for the New York police officer.

The regular meeting of court Rose Hill, B. of A., was held last evening in the new hall in the Meigs building, ! where routine business was transact ed with John Sullivan in the chair. The principal feature was the report of John Barry and William Shannahan, delegates to the convention. The re- port was very satisfactory, but the delegates and the court were dfsap- pointed because Waterbury did not get any offices. The new hall is very com fortable. It is expected that the next meeting which will be June 4, will be largely attended as business of i'm portance is to be transacted. A check from the union fair was also received. which made the receipts come high A vote of thanks was also rendered to the members of the committee who helped to make the fair a success.

ROBIN HOOD.

The old time favorite Robin Ho5d'' was given at Polls theater last night with a number of the old favorites in the cast. The audience was not large, but 1t made up in enthusiasm for what it lacked in numbers, and all of the we'll known solos, duets and choruses were encored It was a musical audi ence, many of Waterbury's well known singers. musical directors and organists being there. They always enjoy the 4uneful Robin Hood" Our old friend Barnabee was just as funny as ever and his eagle eye was ever on the alert directing his massive brain. The gems of the evening seemed to be "The rink er's Chorus and the milkmaid's ssChurning, Churning'' song. Both were encored several times. It is not too
 much to say that "The Anvil Song," eSBrown October Ale" and tIt Takes
 line Tailors to Make a Man. were Never sung better. A few of the parts
 were not handled as the Bostonians have been known to produce them in former years, but taken as a whole the performance was of high order There is no question but what Robin X Hood" will outlive number of the newer comic operas, even though the
 ;ast that made 1t famous is gradually
 ropping out.

BENJAMIN sEDGwIcK APPEALS
Asks That Mansfield Case Be Carried
 to Superior Court.

Asks That Mansfield Case Be Carried to Superior Court. There can be no more speculation re- garding an appeal in the Mansfield case, for last evening an appeal was filed with the city clerk, which takes the matter before the superior court. The passage in the charter upon which the appeal is taken is not very clear. It says that any one who feels ag- grieved at the action of any board or department of the city may take an appeal to the courts. Counsel for Sedg- wick in this case contends this entities them to appeal, while counsel for Mansfield says this refers onl yto con- tracts with the city. Following is the appeal: -.'
 To the honorable superior court, to be holden at Waterbury, within and for the county of New Haven, on the first Tuesday of June, 1903.
 The appeal of Benjamin Sedgwick, of the city of Waterbury, within said county respectfully represents:
 1. The appellant, the said Benja- min Sedgwick, now is and for long time has been a resident and citizen of said Waterbury.
 2. On the 14th day of April, 1903, the appellant presented to the board of public safety for said city, in writ ing. certain charges against one Michael Mansfield, supernumerary policeman of said city, copy of which charges is hereto annexed and marked Exhibit A."
 3. Said board thereupon summoned said Michael Mansfield to appear be- fore them on the 18th day of April 1903, to answer said charges.
 4. On said 18th day of April. 1903 said Michael Mansfield appeared, with counsel, and moved that the board compel the appellant to make the charges more specific, which said mo- ton was granted.
 5. Thereafter, and on the 30th day of April. 1903, in compliance with said order, the appellant filed with said hoard an amendment to said charges, copy of which is hereto annexed and marked Exhibit B." E
 6. Thereafter. the said Michael Mansfield pleaded not guilty to said charges and hearing was duly had before said commissioners on said charges.
 7. On the 9th day of May, 1903, the said board of public safety decided and determined that said Michael Mansfield was not guilty and ordered that said charges be dismissed
 8. The appellant aforesaid, is ag- grieved. by the action and doing of said board of public safety in their action with reference to said charges against Michael Mansfield as afore- said.
 Whereupon, the appellant hereby appeals to said superior court, so to be holden as aforesaid, from the ac- tion of said board of public safety as to the charges against Michael Mans field and prays that said superior court inquire into the allegations and reasons of appeal and make such or der or determination in the premises as justice may require.
 To any proper officer to serve and return.
 Dated at Waterbury, this 21st day of May, 1903.

The organization of village
improvement societies marked an
important era in the progress and
development of our towns and
cities. Not alone for the actual
improvements they were instru-
mental in making but for the gen
eral interest they aroused in the
beautifying of towns and villag-
es throughout the country.
The movement came in the or
der of development. We had our
towns to build from the primeval
forest and necessities and COM
forts must come first before beau-
ty and adornment could be
thought of.
1t was natural and eminently
fitting that the work should have
been inaugurated by women, but
they builded better than they
knew as they began to demon
strate what could be accomplish
ed by organized effort, the en-
thusiasm spread from town to
town, but it did not stop with
the rural districts, it apread to the
cities, and the awakening in civic
improvement surpassed that OF
the town and villages.
The most notable result in the
civic improvement work has been
in the parks and park systems.
1t was as late as 1853 that the
land was purchased for Central
Park, New York, and there was
great opposition to the expend-
iture of money. 1t is only with
in the last ten years that the great
awakening of interest in parks
came into existence. In 1869
there were but two well advanced
rural parks in the United States ;
in 1896 there were only twenty,
but now they are SO universally
demanded for our cities that 1t
seems as if they had always been
requisite. The growth Of the
park system Of Boston i mar
velous. Il brings into one haf-

monious system the suburban
towns, all connected by pleasant
drives They have expended ten
million dollars for the grounds.
1t includes eight miles of ocean
front, the forest reserve compris-
es seven thousand acres, making
altogether the most extensive
park system of any of our cit
les.
Besides this the city borrowed
the money last year for the pur-
chase of twenty Fairgrounds in
the city for children. Chicago
has most excellent system. 1t
comprises seven large parks,
three of them on the lakes con-
nected by broad boulevards. Phil
adelphia has made large appro-
priations for its parks, and all the
western cities are following close
ly. One of the great advantages
Of the present time is that now
as soon as ground is purchased
for park it is at once put into
the hands of skilled engineers
and landscape architects so that
symetry and beauty are insured
at once saving both time and
money.
Great pains are taken to keep
close to nature to preserve care
fully every point Of natural beau
ty. Trees are of course the one
important factor that makes the
park beautiful and enjoyable, but
happily since the great interest
in tree culture has arisen they
are not confined to ,arks. We
could 60 on ad libitum with the
great work that has been accom-
plished in our cities but we have
to turn with regretful look from
the fascinating beauty Of parks
and broad avenues to the fact that
we are not living in . large city
but a small town. But that need
not discourage Us. because the
town Is small 10 no reason why Il
