Claim Witness Biased.
Much stress was laid on the fact
that Father Mackin had had several
Painting spells before the physician
was called, and DR.. McCarty admitted
that usually these were symptoms to-
ward the latter stages of the disease
and were generally followed by coma
and stupor. Mr.. Kenworthy sought to
show that the witness was biased. be
cause while he gave the counsel for
the proponents all the information pos
sible. he refused absolutely to divulge
single fact to the contestants. DR..
McCarty admitted that he had declined
20 talk with the attorneys for the con
testants, on the ground that he con
sidered it improper to do so, as he was
employed by the family to attend Faith
er Mackin. and to them alone would he
respond in this case.
Other Physicians Testify.
The examination of Drs. Arthur r.
Edwards of Chicago, and James J. Nc
Quinn. also of Chicago, and of Andrew

DIR. McCarty said that the patients
mentality is not necessarily affected,
particularly in the earlier stages, and
that in Father Mackin's case he could
not see any difference in him, men
tally, at any time during his illness,
until the last few days. He admitted,
however, that the condition of the
blood necessarily did have an effect on
the nutrition of the brain, and in con-
sequence must have some effect on the
mental powers of the person afflicted.
but insisted that only toward the later
stages of the disease could any such
effect be seen. He declared that even
though the blood might be impoverish-
ed to the extent of four-fifths of its
normal vitality, the mind might still
be clear and bright, the Judgment
sound, and the memory normal, and

coon WORK FOR FATHER

It is not true that everybody we
 but father and to-day and for sol other days following father will be in- clined fl feel that nobody works but father, and that almost everybody works him. As he reads the serial and serious story which will begin when he gets his mail this morning, or which may even have begun yesterday, he will once more realize who and what ne is' But the best way to deal with the story is to read it as quickly as possible as fast as the chapters come in and be done with 1t. Linger not in scowling thought over it, Turn the pages, close the book and pay the price. So will jus tice be done and the wheels of business go around with accelerated velocity.
 If father pays promptly the butcher the baker and the candlestick maker can also pay promptly. Perhaps this isn't very high finance, but it is good honest and sensible finance, and the kind that will do to tie to.

 ssnes left Badgers Corners he was raclSed by doubt and fear, And weight was on his shoulders as he heard his neighbors cheeri He was going whers great statesmen with majestic brows would stand In the halls of marble, wisely making statutes for the land. In his heart Jones knew how little he eXcelled the common ones Who were sending him to mingle with and challenge the Dig gunsi In his fancy he could plainly see him self unnoticed there, Where the splendid statesman lowered and with wisdom filled the air. Jones was awed when he beheld them and first heard them called by name:
 Still the glamor was upon them, he was dazzled by their fame, And he watched them, full of wonder yet little sadly, too, For in searching out the giants he found very, very few Day by day he saw and heard them day by day his awe decreased; He had feared and he had doubted, but at length his trembling ceased; He had learned at last that greatness is but being stationed where Almost any one might dazzle if the fates had set him there.

ONE MORE.

This is golden age in this country, but there is occasionally a temptation to also call it fraud age. It is now appearing that the prepared pound- package and the scale-weighed package are not alike any more than the pint bottles filled and the pint measure which has to be filled in the sale of goods. The American consumers are in such haste and so easy that they are cheated in trade on every hand by the goods that do not measure to stan dard. The ready-to-be-delivere pounds and pints put up in manufactories are found to be short, and the state of North Dakota is moving to have a law enacted to give consumers 8 square deal. The New York Tribune, taking the matter up, recommends "a federal law providing that all package goods made articles of interstate commerce should be marked with the real weight of their contents" And it adds: Bot ties should indicate their actual capacl- ty; and, as in Germany and France, they should be marked by lines in the glass, so that a customer at a glance can tell just how much fluid one of them contains. A full-package law, we believe, would have the support not only of the public. but also of the great majority of packers and dealers. Busi- ness is crippled, not strengthened, by deceit and trickery. The average Amer ican wants a square deal, both in husi- ness and politics
 It is well enough to have all these things exposed and perhaps by and by there will be a change for the better.

HAPPY NEK YEAR!

Happy NeW Year to all! Here's hop ing and wishing! Civilized man has decided that it is good plan to begin a new year with the hope and the wish that 1t may be a good one. And as mo- body knows, in the apparently compli- cated arrangement of things, that the new year may not be good, and as ex- perience has taught that it may be good, the hope and the wish are both sensible and stimulating. We are done with the old year, and pretty solemn thought it is too. The years of man are not numerous enough to make the passing of one of them light matter. Perhaps the old year hasn't been quite as happy as we hoped and wished it would be when 1t began. Perhaps the new year will be some like it in that respect. But let us start in as if it were going to be the happiest year under the sun, In that way we can get some of the pleasures of hope, for awhile at least, and they are not to be |despised.
 We are not quite certain about the value of Happy New Year resolutions, but it will do no harm to resolve not to spit on the sidewalk. They do say that it is going to be dangerous to do it, and dangerous or not, it is certainly a poor way to show the New Haven and Yale spirit.

GOOD EN0rGH.

Whats the use of going to Southern California, Florida, Sunny Italy, or Heaven, when one can live in New Ha- ven? Breathes there a man or wom- an around here with soul so dead that he or she hasn't been able to feel the beauty and the glory of life in New Haven during the last four wonderful months? If so we move that his or her picture be taken by subscription, or, if necessary, by force, and presented to the Historical Society with suitable cer- emony.
 Yesterday, the last day of the good old year, people were at Savin Rock in such numbers that if the White City had been open and running the owners of it might have felt cheered. There was no baseball game in Hamden, we believe, but there might have been if the law would have been as lenient as the weather was. And the other out door games could have been comfort ably played by those who were not la- boring under the delusion that Decem- Der is winter month in this region,
 The last day of the old year was a day of brightness and comfortable warmth. It is a pity that such year should have to go, but it went fittingly If the Happy New Year Is as good to this region as the old one was those who are expecting the Millennium soon can feel encouraged.

 A word to the wise piano. forte purchasers Is sufficient. The Steinertone is the great in- strument of the present age. It is the best In all that goes to make up a magnificent in- strument and it Is the best in price. Following are few important facts: The Steinertone planoforte is a perfect instrument both in the art of piano construe- tion and tonal characteristics It possesses a marvellous rep etition of action, remarkable ease of touch and an exquisite feeling on the keyboard that imparts inspiration to the artist.
 The stcinertone stands con- piciously as the acme of per- lection in the world of pianos. It Is the peer of them all.
 The Steinertone for durabil- ity cannot be eclipsed; it im- proves with age.
 The SteinertOne is per- feet instrument and is offer ed at manufacturers prices by the steinertone Piano Com pany. This leader of all pia- nos is sold only at the factory, 106 Park street, this city. In this way the extravaganza of costly warerooms Is saved to the purchaser, who gets the best piano at the most reason able terms Prospective pur- ehasers. should not forget these facts. They are cordi- ally invited to investigate. A cali at the factory will satis- fy them.
