"LINCoLN.,

It is a beautiful character that MT Ben Chapin presents ill his representa- tion of Abraham Lincoln in his new play of that name. It was presented at Poli's on Saturday afternoon and evening but the audience was not n substantial one numerically. It was q true and ideal impersonation of our martyred president during his years of greatest temptation and trial. Every little detail connected with his rugged and honest life was given the most careful study and attention. The oth- CT characters, who were in the public mind at that time which was fraught with so much anxiety, were also ably presented, such as Secretary of War Stanton and Major General Hooker. And yet the play itself is one that seems to be lacking in something. The first two acts are rather dialoguOy and drag somewhat. The third act is more to the point and much more in teresting. The last act drifts back to the rut of the first two with but little real action. The play needs something to liyen it up a bit, perhaps the intro- ducti0n of scene from the battle of Gettysburg or some other such picture would create the interest that is want ed.

MR. ELY RETIRES
Will Not Appear in Apothecariea
 ' Hall Case Wednesday.

The latest development ill the con- tr0yersy between certain stockholders in tlle ApOthecaries' Hall Co is the withdrawal of Attorney Ely of New Haven from the proceedings whicu come in the probate court Wednesday, morning. Two reasons are assigned for this step on the part of Attorney. Ely. It is said that he dld not wish to take sides agninst hIE old friend and former client, Colonel Burpee, and the other is that lie did not see what good could arise ill any way from the appointment of an administrator on the estate of Archibald E. Rice. grand. father of the present A. E. Rice. The latter has already been- appointed trustee on the estate of his father, the late r. B. Rice, and as such his fathers responsibility for the income from his grandfather's estate of 409 shares. ill the Apothecarjes' Hall Co descends. to him. It is then question if as trustee his power over the esIAte would not be as much as that of an administrator. Whether or not that may be, the estate of Mir Rice's grand- father cannot be distributed until af- ter the decease of his widow. Mrs Sa-. rah H. Rice, who was left the income from these 4O9 shares in the Apothe- carries Hall Go and a life use of the residence on Church street.
 What, then, is all the fuss aboutf friends of the parties ask. They say that supposing A. E. Rice is appointed administrator and he has thereby the voting power on his grandfather's stock, out goes I. r. Kellogg as treas urer and practical manager of the concern. and in goes s. P. Williams, a practical druggist. But in the end, upon the demise of Mrs Sarah H. Rice, this block of 409 shares of stock will be distributed between three parties and Mir Kellogg will then have the controlling interest and the upper hand once more. This is said to have been the view Attorney Ely took of the situation and the reason why he retired from the contention.

 Ernest Socci, who recently enlist ed ill the army and who is stationed at Fort Terry, is enjoying furloGgn of forty-eight hours.
 -Rev, MT. Freedman of Plymouth was in the pulpit at the Third Congfe- gational church yesterday. As yet the directors of the church have selected no one to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Rev MT Root.
 Those who have been doping 1t out figure that Ed O'Connell should defeat Captain Madden in their wrest- ling match which takes place at Hart. ford tonight. The latter agrees to throw t&e New Haven boy twice Ill one hour and he certainly will have to go it a few, 50 the wise "uns" say.
 The residents of Brooklyn think that the young fellow who was arrest ed in Brooklyn Friday evening, dis guised ms nun, got off rather lightly ill the city court on Friday morning. A goodly number of people were sorry that the crowd did not get hold of the flisturber and administer a coat of tar and feathers or some equally humiliat- ing punishment.
 Joseph Coer, the acrobat, while practicing at the rooms of the Brook lyn Athletic club on Saturday, met with an accident which will keep him off the bars for a while. Coer was en- deayoring to throw double somes- sault and turned all right, but did not land squarely on his feet He lost his balance and hit the floor with a thud, his face coming in contact with the boards with such force that he will be nursing a sore jaw and n much bruised face for some time.
 Michael Mahon and Hans Rasmus- sen were up bright and early Satur. day morning waiting for A. I. Patton. the engineer, to appear, in order to ac- company him over the proposed trol. ley routes in this section. The trio were busily engaged all morning look ing over the land, and when the work was finished the two committeeman were as happy as larks. as they are more certain now than they were be- fore that an eight per cent grade can be shown to Mir Sewell of the trolley company and they do not see how he can get away from them, if he keeps his word that he would run the troll ley through Brooklyn to Town, Plot. providing an eight per cent grade could be established. NIessrs Mahon and Rasmussen will make their report at the next meeting of the Improve ment committee and Mir Patton will also be heard from. &

HENDRlcKs' DEFENSE.
Insurance Inspector Issues Stats s e nient on Armstrong Report.

s Hsh ment on Armstrong Report.
 SYRACUSE, N. Y, Feb. 26.-Francis Hendricks, state superintendent of in surance, has furnished for publication statement relating to the recent re- port of the Armstrong committee of the legislature, in part as follows:
 My attention, of course, has been called especially to that portion of the report Of the Armstrong committee which criticises the administration of the insurance department. and desire to say a few words in reply.
 Tn the public attention which of late has been almost exclusively di- rected toward the affairs of a few of the large life insurance companies, think the fact has rather been over looked that this department is equally charged with the examination and su- pervision of fire, marine, casualty and credit guarantee corporations and busi- ness, assessment and fraternal bene- ficiary associations. numbering 433 companies in all, operating under sep arate and different provisions of law.
 During my term of office there has been no insolvency or default resulting in loss to the policy holders, except in the case of one comparatively small fire insurance company, where there was a loss 10 policy holders of some 25 per cent of the unearned premiums. and during the resent scandals no well informed person has doubted the entire solvency of the companies most con cerned to meet all of their liabilities to policy holders.
 Beyond the limits mentioned do not believe that it has been 'the theory or expectation that this department would or could exercise a daily watch over the acts of officers and directors with reference to compelling the ex- ercise of ordinary business ability and honesty in the management of the de- tails of the business committed to their cnre."

Huron, S. D., May 9.-Following is
the crop bulletin for the last week as
issued from the weather bureau:
The weather conditions We're variable
and there was considerable cloudiness,
and less than the normal amount of
sunshine. Rain occurred generally on,
April 80 and May l, II there was light
precipitation in scattered localities on
Thursday and Friday; but the remaind-!
er OF the week was practically rainless.
The ground is amply moist generally
and the dry condition of the soil re-
ported last week as existing in parts
of the Black Hills district has been re-
lleVed. The precipitation was beneficial
except that in connection with the wet
weather of the latter part of April, it
kept some low land too wet, and re-
tarded outdoor work.
The temperature averaged below the
normal. The week opened favorably
warm, and on Thursday, the warmest
day, the maximum temperature gen
orally exceeded 70 degrees. The latter
part of the week was cool, with mini;
mum temperatures on the 9Th and 9TH.
in the middle and northern portions of
the state sufficiently low to cause light
to heavy frosts. The frost was mostly
light, and 10 injury therefrom is re-
ported.
Excepting the cool nights of the lat
ter portion, the weather conditions Of
the week We're generally favorable for

"Eat we are not doing?'' he asked.
The whole thing is absurd. There is
no such thing as Il drug trust. The
phrase is a misnomer-coined from :r-

prletary association.
The allegation that no retail drug
gist can obtain goods from a wholesale
druggist or from a MANUFACTURER Of
proprietary medicines unless he Joins
the National Association Of Retail
Druggists is simply untrue. Every sim
