The loaded bee the lowest flies,
The richest pearl the deepest lies:
The stalk the most replenlshed.
Doth bow the most its modest head:
And thus humility we find
The mark OF every master mind:
The highest-gifted lowliest bends,
And merit meekest condescends,
And shuns the fame that fools adore
The puff that bids feather soar.

In the light of such facts, what are we to say of the Shakespeare and Hathaway relics at he cottage?
 What reply shall we make to that typical extravaganza indulged in by Dr. Brandes, who draws a picture of Shakespeare's journey to the cottage: eHe would enter, and lock once more upon the wooden bench in the chimney corner on which he and she had had sat in their ardent youth. There was

 At this time there is before the pro- bate court the will of the late Miss Elizabeth Fowler. This will was drawn by the late Jonas G. French. way back in 1856. John w. Fowler and Samuel c. Peck were named as execu- tors of this will by the terms of which after certain bequests which are es- pjecially named, had been paid the estate both personal and real was to be used during his life by Samuel c. Peck and on his death after other bequests had been paid the balance of the estate was to be divided among his heirs. Miss Fowler died in 1857 and the provisions of her will were carried out. Recently MT. Peck died and this brings the matter again before the court. The estate is valued at some $5,000. The bequests mentioned will take perhaps $1,00O of this. Of these be- Guests the following are public in their nature, the balance not being so The American Bible society's board of com nlissioners for foreign mission is willed $50; the American Tract society $100; the American Seamen Funds society $50, and to be expended among the poor widows of the First Congregational church under the direction of the dea- cons of that church $50. Some of those who are mentioned in this will have long since left Milford, and to hunt them up or their hers if they are dead will be quite a lengthy job for the court. During her life Miss Fowler kept private school which was we'll attended by Milford children and while many of them have died during the half century which has passed since this school closed there are several yet living, every one of whom now occupies a prominent position in the community where they are living.

JUDGES Non ELIGIBLE.

An interesting situation is had in the case of Paulina Feingold who was fined $50 and costs in the city court for failure to secure a license as re- quired by the itinerant vendor law. She appealed and the case now comes up in the common pleas court, which will oen for business two weeks from yes terday. At the formal opening yester- day Judge Hubbard said he would be disqualified to hear Attorney Good hart's claim that the law is unconstitu- tional, because of his having passed up- on certain aspects of the matter in his capacity as corporation counsel of Wal lingford. Judge Bishop is disqualified. having sat on the case in the lower court. Judge Tyner of the city court is counsel for. the Merchants associa- tion, which is pressing the case and is therefore barred from presiding as Judge. As a result the question as to the laws constitutionality may be re- served for the supreme court.
