First District Municipal Court in The Bronx a
brief requested by Justice Penfeld. in answer TO
the motion OF Mrs. Stenton's lawyer. Hugo Whit
ner, to have the dispOssess proceedings granted
on July set aside. Gibson contends that the court
has no jurisdiction, the Legislature did not in
tend that such proceedings could be instituted at
any time, but continues
Upon reflection. however. I have come to the con-
cUSiOn that do not want in any phase the liti-
cation over the Stenton property aIposition
OF opposing Mrs. Stenton the square issue as to
the proof of my conduct in the management of her
affairs and It seems to me. in connection with her
first application, this attitude can best be main
tained by consenting that the court make an order
in those proceedings. they taking the final order
and setting those proceedings down for trial. so
that Mrs Stenton may have opportunity to pre-
sent to the court any evidence she may desire to
have heard.
In waving any opposition to this motion hereby
deny each and every of the charges made
against me In the moving papers. The action taken
by me was with the full knowledge and consent Of
Mrs. Stenton and solely in furtherance of her In

HAPPY OUTINGS.

There is flood of sunshine in the heart OF an
East Side mother who. through the T. s. s. outing
fund, is enjoying a needed holiday in the
country. This member, who left a widow with
Ave children, obliged 20 put the three elder
ones in a home in the country. The two younger
ones she has maintained with her sewing machine
often working twelve hours day to provide food
and rent. She had not the other children in
the home for more than six months, as Il was i'm
possible for her TO spend the money necessary for
railway fare. Her industry and self-respect have
been noted by the president. and from time to
time help. in the way Of clothing and holiday
gift. has been passed on to her. She nearly
worn out with constant work and there was a great
longing In her heart to the other children when
Sunshine said: See If you can obtain reasonable
board for yourself these children, and you
shall have a two weeks outing" Everything
settled satisfactorily and she is now enjoying
rest with her children.
Mrs F.. the widow threatened with consump-
ton. who earns only 80 cents day, has returned
from her two weeks outing in the Catskills greatly
improved in health from the mountain air and good
food. This pleasure could have been possible
TO her without the aid of the T. S. S., and her
gratitude Is unlimited She is an intelligent woman
and has passed the Civil Service examination, with
the hope OF getting better position in time.
The young boy in delicate health who had his
outing farm in New Jersey has written his
thanks for the influence that placed him in such
nice temporary home. and says he feels much bet

Water Department. with which he has been con-
nected for many years. said yesterday that he
agreed perfectly with James III. Fuerties, engineer
of the committee water supply OF the Merchants
Association. that 1t would be wise to save much
water as possible by the Introduction OF meters
and the stoppage of leaks. He is not inclined. how
ever, to predict a water famine before the
water supply in the Catskills will be available.
There was not such favorable outlook for Brook
lyn however he said.
I'VE much better Off than year
ago. so far Manhattan and The Bronx con-
cerned" Mr.. Birdsau remlrked. You see. we be-
gan to fill the new CTOtOn reservoir in December.
Had it been wet season IL would have been filled.
but will have 70 wait until next summer to get
il filled now. However, we have got much water
in it that have 1OOOOOOOOO gallons OF stored
water more than a year ago. Owing 60 tho fact
that did not get the money we were unable TO
make any extensions of the water mains In The
Bronx this year, but expect the increase OF con-
sumption there viii! be great next year,
It was also said by Commissioner Ellison OF the
Department of Water supply, Gas and ELECTRICITY
that there no danger of water famine In

Since the Spanish-American War the American
navy has risen rapidly in the admiration Of the
powers OF Europe" Lieutenant Pfster said. This
is especially so in naval circles. The nations of
the Old World did not have an exceedingly high
opinion OF your ships and men, but the victories
OF Sampson, Dewey and SChley and the splendid
work Of the fleets as a whole have placed the
American navy on vastly different footing The
American navy Is to-day an object of constant
