HER HJNDREDTH BIRTHDAY.

Mrs. Emeline Warner, of Danbury, Cell
 ebrates Completion of Century To-
 day.
 Mrs. Emeline Warner, who celebrated her one hundredth birthday at her home in Danbury on July 20, is an aunt of Albert s. Upson of Waterbury. She was born in Derby July 20, 1895, but her family removed to Columbia, N. Y, when she was less than a year old. At nine years of age, she came to New Milford to live with an uncle and aunt, and we'll remembered crossing the Hud- son river at Albany on boat propelled by Horsepower. In her nineteenth year she married Horace Warner of New Milford. MT. and Mrs. Warner lived in Danbury for a little over a year, then went to Newark, N. J., liv- ing there twenty-two years, and then returning to Connecticut and locating in Stamford, where they remained for eight years, and where MT. Warner died Since that time she has lived in Danbury, with the exception of two years spent in New York, of late years with her son, James l.. Warner of that city. She is of Revolutionary ancestry, her grandfather having been captain in the American ranks, and leaving a very interesting diary concerning that period, which Is still in possession of the family. Another ancestor was pas- tor of the first orthodox church in Glastonbury, and his very remarkable will, dating back to 1726, Is 8 matter of interesting family tradition.
 Her own mind is clear and vigorous, and her bodily health is fairly good, though she Is not strong enough for the active religious and philanthropic work in which she formerlyl delighted. She is the oldest living member of the First Congregational church, Danbury, hav- ing united with 1t in 1868, though she has been unable to attend it's services for five years past.

WILL OF JUDGE DAY ADMITTED
 TO PROBATE.

 in Van DeMark kCase-Attachment on
 Lafayette Street Drug Store.
 Judge Cleaveland in the Probate court yesterday admitted to probate the will of the late Rev. George E. Day, D. D., professor emeritus in the Yale Divinity school. Robert E. Day of New York, nephew of the deceased immediately filed notice of an appeal to the Superior court.
 The real ground for the objection has not been made known, although it ap- pears from what took place in court yesterday that the nephew objects to the form adopted by Professor Day in his own will. It seems to be the con- tention of Mir. Day that, in view of the testimony of the witnesses who said they did not examine the document when they signed it, that the document offered for probate was not the last will and testament of Professor Day.
 Prof. Franklin B. Dexter, assistant librarian at Yale, who was one of the witnesses to the will, testified concern ing the signing of the will in his office at the Yale library, Professor Dexter's opinion was that Professor Day was mentally sound and fully competent to make a will
 Judge Cleaveland admitted the will, saying that if there was any objection 1t might be explained in the Superior court, inasmuch as no explanation of the objection to the probating of the will had been made before him. Henry B. Sargent, one of the executors, said that the estate would probably inven- tory $75,O Seth e. Johnson and Oli- yer S. White were appointed apprais- CTS.

 Lee W. Schuyler. the acknowledged champion high somersault diver of the world, is one of the special features of the free outdoor vaudeville bill this week.

For outright daring his act is not surpassed anywhere in America, as he dives into only four feet of water.
