LAW BOOKS AGE.
Ancient Volume Now in Possession Of
Colonel Cotton.

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 6.-The old
est law book in America, brought to
this continent by the man who named
the city of Boston, is turning yellow
with each added year Of age on a r.
brary shelf in the home of a distant
son of it's original owner here.
The book, a quaint volume that
must be handled with caution lest its
leaves crumble, came to this country
272 years ago this fall. 1t came be-
cause Rev. John Cotton was too puri-
tanical in his tastes to suit the au-
thorities of the Church of England. AS
vicar of st. BOtOlph's church, BOs-
ton, Lincolnshire, he was summoned
to appear before Archbishop Laud.
Rather than appear he fled to Ameri-
ca.
Among his other books was this old
collection of the Statutes From the
Time of the Magma Charter Unto the
Year of Our Lord 1874" 1t has been
handed down from son to grandson
until it has reached the fifth genera
ton and it is now held by Colonel
Samuel Storrs Cotton of this city, a
man more than eighty-five years OF
age. and one of the wealthiest land
holders in the state of Nebraska.
Colonel Cotton prizes his rare VOL
ume highly the book at it's last birth
day was 331 years of age. Nearly
three centuries age. John Cotton was
pastor of the largest church in Grea'
Britain. When he came to America
the party of colonists with him wnc
landed at Boston, resolved to name
the new town for him in honor of his
old home town.
Two facts justify the statement that
this is the oldest law book in America,
One is that a magazine article some
years ago, supposed to be authoritative
claimed that a book printed fifteen
years after this, was the oldest in
America; the other is that Colonel
Gotten has searched in libraries all
over the country, both personally and
by letter, and has practically estab-

The colonel, now gray-naired, yet
bright-eyed and happy as ever,
warmed up when speaking Of the En-
pire Theatre company, saying his COM
pany would give satisfaction and please
the public, and what more could they
ask? He is an ideal southern gentle
man of delightful personality striking
appearance and distinguished career,
and talks entertainingly Of men and
matters of the past forty years. He
has written a play, the title of which
is "Carlotta, The Mad Empress" The
play is written around the life Of Max
imilian. After the shooting of Maxi
MILAN, his wife, Carlotta, went raving
mad, and is now in an asylum in Bel
GUM. Her brother, VINO is now the
king of Belgium, sees that she has
every care that can be given his sister.
The colonel claims that he has tackled
everything in a, business way but a
circus and a sawmill and intends try
ing his hand in this line before he
crosses the river Styx.
