A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY.

To the Editor of theJournal andCourier
 Anniversaries, with most fraternal organizations. are happy and sweetly serious occasions. especially so with one having reached the mature age o sixty years. Such event was celebrat- ed by Harmony division, s. of T., on Thursday evening last. We then greet ed many old and new friends, while delighted memory recalled others who had passed from our presence A brief but interesting history was given by one of Harmony's faithful members, who stated that it was pratically in dividual history. As such we were edified by the review of the roll call of membership. including many who had honorably served our state and com munity. and very many who had with loyalty surrendered their lives in de- fense of our institutions.
 While scanning the faces present, as past years, we could but recognize the secret of true nobility as lying in this utterance of the Nazarene, And who- soever will be chief among you let him be your servant" We observed sever al who had rendered many years of valiant work for humanity, with whom the springs of loving service are ever flowing. To such pure happiness and perpetual youth are assured, as their radiant faces and inspiring words at tested.
 Whatever the achievements of the past, there should be ever cherished an exhalted ideal for future attainment Let Onward, Upward be the inspiring theme of the Sons of Temperance, till our maxims shall have gained univer- sal sway.
 While listening to the reviving music provided for the occasion, there was ir evidence to us an unheard melody Of the heart, in unison with those whc had joined ''the choir invisible" and we suppressed the desire to break forth in "Auld Lang Syne" thus:
 We sing of those whose star has set In heavenly light to blend,
 Who love the temperance flag aloft
 And did our cause defend.
 Their virtues are in memory held,
 That we may initiate.
 Their earnest words and noble deeds We live to vindicate.

REV. MIR. KIDD

Will be Warmly Welcomed. to New
 Haven.
 To the Editor of the Journal and Courier
 We hope the excellent communica- tions from New Haven and Bridgeport published in yesterday mornings Jour- nal and Courier will not give any one the idea that Rev. MT. Kidd will not be welcome in New Haven.
 The authorities at Trinity Methodist church in this city tried to get Rev. MT. Smith because they heard him highly spoken of, and they believed he could be secured by arrangements which would be agreeable all around. But it was well understood and frankly stated that there might be difficulty in mak- ing the transfer necessary to adjust the relatives between the conferences. Rev. MT. Kidd was out of the field because he was understood to be engaged. Of course our people as a whole are not acquainted with these deliberations, and are as ready to receive one good man as another.
 Tn your Bridgeport communication the words "a disgusted church, which does not want him. mean "a church embarrassed by the sudden resignation of a pastor whom it was expecting to keep"

THH CAREY CASH.

Slow progress was made yesterday in the trial in the Superior court of George
 W. Carey, the disbarred Stratford at I torney, who Is charged with forgery and perjury in connection with his ham,
 ding of the estate of the late John w.
 Ford of Milford. Mrs Elizabeth c.
 Wheeler, sister of the respondents wife, and one of the persons whose name Is lalleged to have been forged, was again | on the witness stand yesterday morn ling.
 Attorney Hamilton for the defense l introduced the name of Arthur Bur | ritt of Bridgeport and asked the wit
 ness about her recollection of tele- phone calls which she had received from MT. Burritt. Was it not said to you by MT. Burritt over the telephone
 that we have now got you off the
 bond, the bond which you say was not | your bond?" asked MT. Hamilton. l Mrs. Wheeler said that she had ex-
 pressed surprise to her sister and
 brother-in-law at her name being on Ithe bond, at the same time declaring
 to them that she had not signed such
 Q document and moreover requesting 1 that her name be removed therefrom. 1 William F. Plum. secretary and
 treasurer of the City Savings bank of
 Bridgeport, took the stand next. The Iline of interrogatory here followed by
 MT. Williams was intended to bring labout and emphasize the allegation l that Carey, as executor of MT. Ford's lestate, had not had on deposit in the
 bank the money stated in his inven- Itory at the time he swore to the docu- lment before Judge Hepburn.
 During the afternoon session, ques-
 tions concerning MT. Carey were dis lcussed and Attorney Hamilton asked Ithat the jury be excluded, which re- quest was granted.

KTNsETJ,A DIDN'T APPEAR.

James V. Kinsella failed to appear lin the Probate court yesterday morning when the hearing was resumed on the question of whether his account as guardian of Annie M. Harding should be accepted and Judge Cleaveland will subpoena him to appear.
 Former Congressman Pigott, who has appeared for Mir. Kinsella, stated that he had sent word to the later to come to court and that he had no further responsibility in the matter.
 Lawyer Goodhart, who appears for the ward, a IA year old girl, stated that he wanted an opportunity to ex-
 anime Kinsella concerning some items of jewelry and the money in the bank
 belonging to the child. He gave ex-
 presslon to his belief that Kinsela twas an utterly worthless sort of a fellow and that as his bondsman was dead that he should be subpoenaed in- to court to explain the account.
 Service will be made on Kinsella.

 FaiIs Co Appear in Probate Court.
 Another move in the Bennett will case was made yesterday when a demurrer was filed by Newton, Church and Hew- itt, counsel for William J. Bryan. ex- ecutor. The demurrer is aimed against the amendment to the application filed by Judge Stoddard. counsel for Mrs. Philo Bennett, to have Bryan removed as executor on the ground that he per- sists in prosecuting his own cases on appeal. It is alleged in the amendment that Bryan delays the settlement of the estate and neglects its interests in so doing.
 The demurrer to the amendment is as follows:
 Said William J. Bryan, as he is ex- ecutor of the will of said Philo s. Dtilibellg QcIIluIS lO llle dlleSdLlOilS Ol the amendment to the application and complaint of Grace Imogene Bennett, ct al, praying for his removal as such executor because:
 Said allegations do not state any acts or neglect to perform his duties as such executor but only indicates att tempts on the part of said executor to effectuate the interest of the testator, which attempts are in every way con sistent with his duties as such execu- tor, and one in no conflict there with. 2. The allegations of said amend ment state no reason why the relief prayed for should be granted.
 3. Said executor has given a sufficient bond conditioned for the faithful per formance of his duties as executor. Arguments on the demurrer will be made in the Probate court some time next week.
