THE CLAvSMAN''
Judge Cases Decision is Anxious
 ly Awaited By Mauy.

The question which Judge William 5. Case of the superior court has been called upon to decide in regard to the prohibited production in Poli's of a theatrical performance designated The Clansman" by Mayor William E. Thoms, is, Did the mayor in is- suing his prohibitory order to Super intendent of Police Beach step out side of his authority?"
 For an hour and quarter yester- day afternoon in the superior court City Attorney John P. Kellogg ar gued that the mayor did not exceed his authority in the matter, and Bur pee and Carmody contended that he did. The latter asked the court to revoke the order of the mayor and also for an injunction to restrain both the mayor and the police de- partment from interfering with the production of the play.
 Judge Case said, interrupting At torney Kellogg, for the time that he would issue no order that would in terfere with the proper conduct of the police department. Attorney Kel- logg then took up the other issue, claiming that the mayor did not go outside of his authority, that he was the actual chief of police of the city of Waterbury, the department of po- lice, fire, and even the militia should obey him in the performance of any and all legitimate orders. He was to conserve the peace and order of the city and if he thought that a theatrical performance would irri- tate the feelings of the public into a breach of the peace he had authori- ty to prohibit the play being per formed in Waterbury. This was the pivotal point of argument. Burpee and Carmody contended that no one could pre-judge anything. Allowing that Mayor Thoms did read the book of "The Clansman" and see the play and condemned it as public irritant still the features he found objection to in the performance he saw could easily be eliminated in the perform. ance billed for Waterbury. It was also claimed that the matter of issu. ing and revoking licenses for public performances of this character was not in the duty of the mayor. but solely rested with the city clerk. The charter was quoted extensively on this point.
 The case of Mrs Warren's Profes. sion" and of ''Sapho" were men. tioned. The latter was prohibited here and 1t was not performed. In the other case Arnold Daily. the man ager of the theater in which 1t wal played. and one of the performers oi the piece were arrested, but not until after the show was seen by the pub lic However. the matter went to \ the higher courts and both Mir Daly and his actor friend were vindicated

The A.tiquity Of the Glove.

The antiquity of gloves has long been in dispute. The question turns upon the rendering of a passage in the fourth chapter of the book of Ruth. verses ., 6:
 Now, this was the manner in for mer time in Israel concerning redeem ing and concerning changing for to confirm all things. A man plucked o6 his shoe and gave 1t to his neighbrs and this was a testimony in IRasL Therefore the kinsman said unto Boasy Buy it for thee.' So he drew o6 hiB shoe"
 For shoe in these verses. 1t is saids we ought to read glove. On this nat ter M. Josephs, q Hebrew of great ftp erary attainments and author of ssvs eral learned works, advanced he fos- lowing theory: The Hebrew nanoal signifies to shut close or inclose. When followed by regel, the foot. 1t night mean a shoe or sandal. but wh0 C stands by Itself. as in the original C the passage quoted, 1t must be rsnder- ed glove" It is further stated thae tho ancient and modern rabbins aUeo In rendering the word from the ogiglna1 as glove" and that Joel Levy. . es,e. brated German translator. gave. h. stead of shoe. his picturesque nadvo term of hand schuh. hand shoe. bX which gloves are known In Germany to this day.-"Gloves." by wIIlian Beck, 1883.

NELSON FOR EUROPE.

Battling Nelson will sail for Eu- rope in few days to make a tour of England, Scotland, Wales. Denmark and finally Australia. Nelson says there is nobody here to fight and that he intends to have a long rest Asked for an opinion of the Cans Herman mill. which will be decided in Nevada on New Years day, the Dane said recently that if Cans makes the weight Herman will win. But at the same time Nelson declared that in his opinion Cans would dodge the scale. and try to enter the ring heavy enough to do the trick. "If Herman can reach Gans's body the negro will be beaten down after a long fight" said the Battler, but Cans is so clever that Herman may find this hard thing to do." From present indications it looks as if James J. Jeifries would be selected to referee the battle.

hospitals and the race was suspended, temporarily.
 None of the injured men was re- moved from the garden.
 O. l.. Hollister of Salt Lake City was said to be the most seriously in jured. He received severe scalp wound and internal injuries while the others escaped with scratches and most of them suffered from shock
 The score in the six day bicycle race at n. m., was as follows
 Root and Fogler, 1415-5; Downey and Moran. 1415-5 Vanderstuyft and Stol, 1415-5; Macdonald and Coffey, 1415-5; Breton and Vanoni, 14l5-5; SamuelsOn and Hollister, 1415-5; Met tling and Logan, 1415-5; Hopper and Downing, 1415-5; Rutt and MacFar- land, 1415-5; Calvin and Wiley, 1415- 5; Pye and Clark, 1415-5; Georget and Georget, 1415-5 Walthour and Bedell, 1415-4.
 The record at this hour is 1,544 miles laps in 1899 by Miller and Waller.
 Walthour created the sensation of the morning after the accident earl fer in the day. He started out to gain the lap he and his partner, Be- dell, were behind and raced around the track like flying machine. The other riders could not keep up with the pace and just when Walthour was within few inches of gaining the lap, the red flag went up as Downey went of the track with a punctured tire. Walthour made a big protest. but the judges overruled him.
 At 8 a. m. the score was: First twelve teams, 1,424 miles. laps; Walthour and Bedell, 1,424 miles, 6 laps.
 l At o'clock the score was 1,425 miles 6 laps for all the teams with the exception of Walthour and Be- dell who were one lap behind the leaders.
 1 The score at 10 a. m. was 1.441 miles and 2 laps for the twelve lead ing teams and one lap less for Wal thour and Bedell. The record for the eightieth hour is 1.567 miles and g laps, made by Miller and Waller in 1899.

MAN AND MEMORY.
The way We Get Our Inprssale
 . Previous Existence.

The Way We Get Our Inpresa1e09 N4'
 . Previous Existence.
 Have we lived beforeT h Que ton discussed by many correspondeuta of British newspapers. pr. Andrew Wilson analysed the strange ph1 nomena of memory given by the con tributors in part as follows: The doc Urine of metempychosis or transmisra. tion of souls represents very ancient belief. Not merely did 1t credit the possibility, that the soul after death could be transferred from one human being to. another, but 1t also held that the human soul might take up it1 abode in another form of life and be transferred from the purely human t0 the lower animal domain. The theory asserts that as each stage Is ended and a new era begun the soul sheds most of the features 1t illustrated n the life 1t left, retaining now and then however, vague memories of some of its antecedent states. Such memories, forcibly projected into the foreground of our existence today, 1t is held. should convince us that we have lived before
 Everything we have heard or seen or otherwise appreciated through tho agency of our sense Organs-every im.i pression. every sensation lis really stored up within those brain cells which exercise the memory functions True, we may not he able to recall all of them at will. Many are doubtless beyond the reach of the power that revives and prints off for us positives from our stored up mental negatives. But it is none the less significant that on occasion we can disinter memories of events whose date lies very far back in our lves-recollections, theses perhaps, we have never realized aftsr their reception, but lying latent and only awaiting the requisite and proper stimulus to awaken them and to brfna them to the surface of our life.
 ''Thls expresses briefly what VI mean by our 'subliminal conscious, ness.' It is that underlayer of stored up impressions and memories which is only fully awakened in certain brain states and of which in our ordinary life we only receive the faintest andt most occasional reminders of its ex- istence. We do not recognize the source of every bit of ancient news the subliminal consciousness may bring to light, and 50 we treat Its resur- rections as if they were reflections from some previous phase of exist ence. But often the clew is supplied us, and the apparent mysterious re- awakening of past life appears merely. as a recollection the origin of which we did not at first recognize.
 Even the idea that sometimes strikes us on entering a strange place, hitherto unknown to us, that we have been there before is capable of ra- tional explanation. Our brain is built on the double principle and acts in ap- preciating our surroundings through the simultaneous work of its two in- tellectual centers. If there exists . slight discrepancy in this simultaneous work, so that one half of our brain appreciates the scene a little before the other half, we are presented with the false memory of having seen tho place before"

JOHNSON WILL TRAVEL.

Since Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight. loomed up as a possible champion. pretty row has been going on between rival managers who believe that they have the sole right to make Johnson's matches. Sam Fitzpatrick insisted until the other day that he was Johnson's only manager. but now Sam is bewailIng the fact that the big fighter has run away with one Alec Mclean of Bos- ton.
 Johnson went to the Hub with Me Lean last Saturday and stated there that fitzpatrick had never been his manager. When Mclean came to New York last week to hunt up John- son, who was under Fitzpatrick's s wing. he says that Sandy Ferguson. the Boston fighter. who has also planned an Australian trip. pulled a knife on Johnson and threatened to cut the latter to pieces if he did not remain in this country. But when Johnson invited Ferguson to take part in a bare knuckle fight in the street outside of the Madison Square Garden. where the row took place. Ferguson ran away. All of which goes 10 show that managing prize fighters is not the safest thing on earth.
 Johnson vill box in California shortly. and on December 27 he will sail from San Francisco for Honolu. In. where he will box one of the big Kanakers. From there he will pro- ceed to New Zealand and Australia and while In the land of the kanga. roo Johnson will box Felix and Squires. the latter of whom now holds the championship of that coun. try.
 From there the trip will be con. tinued to South Africa. and home by way of England. reaching America again in May or June. He and his manager feel confident that by that time Jefries vill come back to the ring and give battle to the big fellov
