Litigation Grows Out of Failure of
 Berry & Co.,, Brokers.
 Washington, Jan. 15.Attorney George F. Hall, of New Haven, was yesterday admitted to practice before the supreme court of the United States, and also argued, on behalf of several creditors from New Haven, the case against Berry & O., the brokers, who failed sometime ago. This concern had an office at New Haven, and when it fail- ed it was found that several New Ha- ven people had deposited with 1t stock certificates to protect margins. Some of these certificates were found in the safe at the New Haven office. and were returned. Others, however were de- posted at the Hanover bank in New York city as security for money loan ed, and the trustees of the estate laid claim to them for the benefit of all the creditors.
 The original owners, however, made claim that these certificates should | all be returned to them, and suits were brought to recover. Thus far the trus- tees have lost In the lower courts, MT, Hall argued that the certificates should be returned and not go to the general creditors. The supreme court reserved decision.

BijOu Theater.

A rip roaring farce comedy from be- ginning to end is "The Man from Mex ico" playing this week at the Bijou theater. It is filled with ginger of the kind that is effervesing and continual. Not dry moment in the whole show while the wit of the lines is of that order that is spontaneous and never fails to make a hit.
 Amusing situations develope with startling rapidity and the audience goes from one convulsion of laughter into another as the ridiculous plot slowly unravels. A delightful char acter is that of Won Bulow Schmidt, interpreted by Wilbur Symonds, a new conner to the ranks of the Bijou. It Is a clever bit of character work and shows Mir Symonds to be an artist. Another good piece of work is that of Frank Wallace as the Tammany dep uty sheriff.
 The usual souvenir natinees will be given Friday and Saturday. Michael ] Wartone in his illustrated songs at each performance.

A Marvel of splendor

Many have been issued, and 2,6O0 accepted for one, of the largest affairs to be given this month, which is the annual reception and dance of the Old Guard, on the evening of Jan uary 24, 19O7 This event is considered by old New Workers one of the great est social. events of the year, It will be held at the Madison Square garden, and invitations to the ball cannot be obtained by purchase, the committee has announced, and it is desired to make this large and additionally fam ous affair as exclusive as possible. Boxes and seats for the ball are there , fore disposed of by the executive com mittee, who pass upon names submit- ted by members of the Old Guard. Be- | sides the applications through members f of the Old Guard, Captain Charles Johnson, who is treasurer of the Old Guard, with offices at the armory, For f ty-ninth street and Broadway, will re- eeive requests for tickets.
 The grand military march at mid night, when every man in uniform joins the parade, will be an inspiring sight, and they will march to the music of the Old Guards famous band of 200 pieces.
 The Delmonico dancing class, consist ! ing of 160 members, have engaged four boxes for that evening, they are wide ly known as the smart set of New York, and will attend that evening Many prominent and well-known soei- ety people of New York, Boston, New Haven, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Bridgeport, Charleston will be present and have boxes, Many dis tinguished diplomats from Washington are expected to be present, and Presi- dent Roosevelt has also promised tc join the boys, where he will receive a royal welcome.
 There is no other military organiza- tion in this country that can bring to- .gether such large concourse of prom inent people as the Old Guard of New York at ther annual ball. The beau tiful women and military men who at tend make the ball fete of splendor Perhaps the Old Guard never surren- ders, only once a year, when thousands of pretty women storm its citadel al the Madison Square garden.
