 MT. Newton." began Judge Stoddard, Cor some reason eulogizes his client. that the money is to be used for charit- able purposes" Then, reading from the letter. he showed how Mir. Bennett had wished to leave it to Bryan per- sonally," and that Bryan had interlined .'or to his (Bryan's heirs) should sur- vive him.
 How MT. Newton can interpret this as a charitable object I cannot see, unless Bryan believes that charity be- gins in the Bryan home,' continued Judge Stoddard.
 At this point an intermission of ten minutes was ordered.
 Resuming, Judge Stoddard took up Mir. Newton's statement that there was no difference between an inventory and a testamentary document, and proceed ed to contradict it by excerpts from the very same authority as that cited by MT. Newton.
 Here he was interrupted by Senator Towne, who for the first time took ac- tive part in the proceedings. Senator Townes question was in regard to tes- tamentary and non-testamentary docu- ments. and was designed to support MT. Newton's contention.
 But little satisfaction was obtained from Judge Stoddard, and Senator Towne relapsed into his usual attentive receDtiveness.
 Judge Gager at the close of MT. Stod- dard's argument, announced that he would reserve decision on the admission of the sealed letter as evidence until to- day at il o'clock.

PNEUMONIA MOST FATAL.

Even Beats Consumption as a Killer of
 Men-Report from the State Board of
 Health.
 Pneumonia is pronounced by the state board of health in it's general re- port for 1903, which has just been sent to the governor, to have taken first place as q fatal disease. outstripping pulmonary consumption, which hereto- fore has led all other diseases in mod ern times as a destroyer of life. From records it is shown that the increase of mortality from grip dates from the pandemic of the winter of 1889-90.
 The report says that the most com mon of communicable diseases have been prevalent throughout the state, and that it is remarkable that so many contagious disorders should prevail so widely at the same time in Connecti- cut. It is still more exceptional that the death rate is so low. There were 5,9O9 cases of measles, 2,657 of scarlet fever, 1,620 of diphtheria, 2,785 of whooping cough, 2S7 of smallpox and 936 of typhoid.

BACH'S PASSION MUSIC.

The New York Tribune's Critic Speaks
 Appreciatively of the New Haven
 Oratorio Society's Undertaking.
 Henry E. Krehbiel, of the New York Tribune, writes a column account of the New Haven Oratorio society s .sereditable performance, of Bach,s Passion According to St. Matthew Much of it is devoted to the courageous spirit of the society, it's connection with Yale university and the splendid work in the cause of music that is being done in New Haven. Of the success of this great undertaking Mir. Krehbiel writes:
 The sterling excellence of the per- formance made the affair notable.
 Performances of the St. Matthew Passion" have not been so many in the United States that it has not been pos sible for the Tribune's correspondent to have assisted, as the French say, at all of them, with possibly three or four exceptions. This was assuredly the first time in the history of the United States that a singing society set itself the stupendous task of bringing it for ward at it's second concert and within the first year of it's existence. Under such circumstances captious criticism may well be dumb and admiration be- spoken for the general excellence of the performance, the familiarity with tha music exhibited by the singers, the vol- ume and quality of the tone, and espe~f cially the spirited, impressive manner in which the chorals were sung. Hera the augmentation of the choir by ths Peoples Choral union produced solne- thing of the large and uplifting effect heard by the visitors to the Bach fes-s tivals in Bethlehem, Pa, when the en- tire audience joined in the singing of these stately German hymns.

TO be Given by the Malley Comedy
 Club.

|I0 De CTlVen Dy the Mdiley Comeuy
 Club
 The Malley Comedy club, whose sue cess in it's first dramatic production, "The Elixir of Life" at the Hyperion last year will doubtless be remembered, has begun rehearsals on it's production for this season.
 The success achieved by this organi- zation in sThe Elixir of Life" and the kindly criticisms and generous applause it received from audience and critics has encouraged the club to attempt a play of somewhat greater scope than its first attempt For this seasons production The Private Secretary" has been selected. This, one of the funniest comedies that has ever appeared on the American stage, will be put on by the club at the Hyperion in a careful and elaborate manner on May 18th.
 The club has secured the services of MT. James Kendrick, a well-known ac- tor to coach the performers in the new play The selection of MT. Kendrick is most fortunate and wise, as he played the part of Gibson, the tailor" for three of the five years of the record breaking run of this piece with Gillette in the title-roe.
 The part of the Private Secretary 2 made famous by MT Gillette, will be essayed by Mr. James F. Grady. The peppery Cattermole will be played by MT. Arthur P. McCaffrey and MT. George H. Perry will attend to the DOT trayal of the much harassed nephew, whose troubles bring about the bewil- derment of the rest MT. George. Baum plays Harry Marsland" and the fe- male parts re divided mong Misses Fichtl, Garrity, Corcoran, Ryan and Roth.
 These are all competent and hard working amateurs, and under their ex- pert coach will unquestionably repeat the success they made a year ago.

Cerebro-spinal meningitis. that dread
scourge sometimes known as spotted
fever has increased in such proper
t!ons that 1t might be called an cpl
demic.
Never since the epidemic Of 1872 have
there been SO many deaths from this
disease reported at the Bureau of vital
Statistics.
Spinal meningitis usually makes Its
appearance Early in the spring, abat-
ing somewhat at the approach OF sum
liner. The physicians have been looking
for this abatement for several weeks,
but the disease Is still making terrible

Spinal meningitis usually appears In
marked degree after a particularly long
and severe winter. II Is a curious
fact that the worst ~epidemics OF this
disease nav come at about ten-yenr
Intervals, ever since 1t was hrst noticed
as a mysterious ailment in 1906.
Although it Is undoubtedly infectious.
vet 1t Is not strictly classed as a con-
tagious disease. consequently physicians
are not required to report the cases
which they attend, excepting when
death ensues. For this reason It Is I'M
possible to tell the exact spread OF the
trouble. The report or the number OF
deaths, however, is sufficiently alarming
to occasion the greatest concern;
At the Bureau of Vital Statistics to-
day It was said that in other years the
average number of deaths per week
from cerebro-spinal meningitis at this
reason a been about six. Fol this
Sipeber. a total Of Ss deaths having
been reported from Jan. / TO the end
of last week.
