 fore Judge Curtis To-Day.

The hearing of the case of George Powe of Nov Haven against the es- tate of his wife was resumed before Judge Curtls in the superior roul { to-day. Powe is endcavomEg to re- cover from the estate certain money he claims to have given his wife, and which if he fails will be distributed among the heirs Since court ad- journed last Thursday MT Powc cleaned up his memory on certain Haven and obtaining the information he lacked from certain tOmbstOnes there.
 To-day MT Powe testified that he was a soldier in the civil war and sent home his wages, $13 a month after every pay day Sometimes he kept a little for himself but invari- ably he sent the entire sum home. What his wife did with the money ne did not know. She had worked in a shop up to the time of her man riage and whether or no she had say ed money from her earnings he could not say.
 The utmost confidence existed be- tween him and his wife, ret he could not say when she began to deposit money in the bank. He was satis- fled that he himself did not begin to bank money until about 1876, yet Attorney W. Williams of Derby pro- duced records of his having deposited money in the DerDy Savings bank as early as 1858 and drew out the same in 1860. MT Powe could not recall theso transactions.

Io5 Years Old.

That's Barnet Wolinsky's correct age, and he certainly is a spry old gentleman. He likes to sit and chat with anyone who may favor him with a call. When asked by news paper man to give his opinion as 10 what he thought was the best way to live so as to attain good old age, his answer was, he had no theories for long living. He says he always lived a simple life. But he says he can (and does at times) drink tnlrty cups of nicely brewed tea per day, and he says it has never hurt him ln the least, but he thinks if person cannot drink intoXicants sparlngly they should cut booze out entirely. And we think Wolinsky is right, for the simple reason that tea, yes, or coffee, will never hurt anyone. But you occasionally hear a doctor tell his patient to cut out drinking tea or coffee, but nine times out or len he doesn't "Cut it out himself. NO, no; he knows what a good thing IS, and he sticks to it, but if he is get ting S2 for his call he must tell you something and he naturally pitches onto something that he thinks Will hoodwink you.

claim the arrival OF the New Year. They
were dressed in buffalo robes. The skins
were brought up over the head like a hood
and fastened there by a loop OF a clothes
line and ornamented with a tiara of corn
husks. Another loop of the clothesline Sc
cured the robe about the neck and final
one cinched it at the waist.
Bracelets and anklets of braided corn
husks adorned the extremlties OF their
limbs. They carried corn Founders notched
on the sides and marked with streaks of
red dye. With these they pounded upon
each door at sunrise and sunset, chanting
a Joy song with which they saluted each
family that welcomed them with open door.
The second day was opened with a shot
fired from a Misunderstanding carblne from
the door OF the long house. Then the two
announcers set forth on another tour. This
time they carried blades or paddles Of
white ash
Entering the house, the ''Ho-non- di-ont"
chanted an exorcism to drive away the bad
spirits of evil influences of the old yenr.
while the others Joined with him In lifting
ashes that smouldered upon the hearth
upon the blades OF their paddles and letting
them fall back slowly into the fireplace.
Upon leaving each house they admonished
each household to attend the forthcoming
feast with a grateful spirit, to "Ha-
wen-eu," or the Great Spirit. for the bless
ings of the past year, ana not to bring TO
II the sorrows OF the body. but TO minister
to the Spirit first. not even mourning for
the newly dead until the public thanks
were given.
Each round Of visits began ana ended
at the long house. and the rounds we're
made hourly. There was a gathering Of
about thirty men and women ana about
seven children in the long house and all
were clad alike In we'll worn working
clothes.
The congregation exhibited nothing re-
sembling reverence or decorum while the
''Ho-non-dl-ont'' and the announcers went
through the ceremonial The women, sit
ting on long benches In the window lodges
would cease their whispering gossip when
ever the door admitted the announcing

chant at the top Of his voice and the an

He explained in an offhand remark to the

Nobody was ever seen to look at watch.
and there was clock in the room, but
promptly every hour the announoers would
start out upon their rounds Outside the
wind would catch the draperies OF the two
dumpy Indian matrons who accompanied
the announcers and send the weareTs rolling
heavily like two tumbleweeds across the
fields. The storm became blizzard in
the afternoon, and no sooner would the
women show themselves outside the door

drift the male announcers following rtEidly
behind.
After a half hour they would emerge
from the storm wrack straining to make
head against the hurricane and covered
with snow that seemed to be fairly driven

the vlsitations were kept up until sundown.

AwToN, N. Y, Feb. 2.-There is
once more the wonted quiet
throughout Cattaraugus Indian
1le.Mll reservation. The smoke has died
- out OF the chimney of the long
house at Newtown, the Indian settlement
on Sand Hill. a mile from here. The
dancers, the "Ho-non7di-ont," or faith
Keeper, and the medicine man have re-
turned to their daily avocatlons and the
great New Year celebration of the Iro-
auois. Cattaraugus and Seneca Indians is
over. The festival lasted a week.
me Cattaraugus long house, which was
the center OF this pagan mixture OF devo-
ton and gayety. stands on prominent ele-
walton In the center OF about eight acres of
undulating ground. Around It are the cab
tns. store and Indian school house that con-
stitute the hamlet called Newtown.
The dwellings are mostly cabins built Of
logs, with the chinks daubed with mortar.
The living rooms are usually covered as 10
the walls and ceilings with old newspapers.
White enameled bedsteads are coming into
vogue and usually occupy the show place
In one OF the two rooms that constitute the
ground floor Of each cabin.
The long house or council house, is a
long, one-story frame building built about
sixty years ago. The riaEepole runs east
and west. II has no inner division. but has
a door at the southeast corner for the
women and another at the northwest cor
ner for the men.
At the east end Is large brick fireplace.
where the kettles OF soup and suecotash
simmer on the last day OF the celebration.
At the south end Is a long box stove 70
warm that end Of the room when there Is
any wood TO be had to burn in it, The
women sit at the east end and the men
keep 20 the neighborhood of the box stove
few oil lamps hang from the shaly
ceiling. The walls are lined with boards
thinly smeared with white paint. A few
group photographs OF Indian lacrosse
teams and q few portraits in black and
white OF celebrated Indians are the sole
decorations.
Near the wide chimney hung for the fes-
tival punches OF dried sweet corn. offerings
for the last days feasting. Other offerings
for the same purpose-cales. loaves
oheeses and portions OF meat. were on the
mantel over the fireplace, together with the
fneries, or prizes offered for the national
betting game OF peaohstones.
The Indian New Year appears to be q
movable feast like Easter In some years
II falls upon the early phase OF the Feb
ruary moon; in others II comedies with the
early phase OF the moon OF January. This
was the case this year. the FIRST day OF IN,

skating f. Very Popular.

More ice skaters seem to be taking ad-
vantage of the conditions as they exist
around Omaha today than for many years.
Hanscom park lake is continuously crowded
with a solid mass of skaters, old and young.
The street railway company has seen fit to
advertise this lake as a proper place for
skating, and the advertisement has had the
effect of bringing out large numbers each
afternoon and evening. II is so handy to
the populous district In which Il IL located.
Two enclosed artificial lakes have done a
most prosperous business and the other
smaller lakes and ponds around the city
have also been we'll patronized. There was
one time for a week in Omaha when the
entire city was one huge skating pond and
the youngsters were able to skate all the
way to school. The sleet was everywhere
and completely covered the ground.
The scarcity OF snow makes Omaha short
on one winter sport which Is most popular
in all northern cities. and that IL racing on
the ice and snow with the horses. Speed
way racing is a hit wherever IL is INDUCED
in There is something particularly fasci-
Mating about II and there is scarcely a town
where II Is INDUCED in where 1t does not
create riot OF excitement whenever races
are scheduled. Here a chance is offered
for the man with the fast horse to com
pete with his neighbors, and the fast horse
on the hard. dry road in summer may not
be the fastest IN the winter when the foot
ing is not 50 sure The racing is being
pushed so hard in some communities that

skis Not Known Here.

One of the most exciting, and perhaps
hazardous sports, that of skiing, which
originated in the Scandinavian peninsula
centuries ago. is seldom If ever INDUCED
in In this section of the country. This
may be accounted for in part by the fact
that our SHOWS are not heavy enough and
do not stay for any length of time. How
ever, In certain parts Of the northern
United States and New England and in
Canada It has been taken up and encour-
aged in q very substantial manner. Con-
tests are held and to promote interest the
winners of each event are awarded q prize
OF some kind. In the Scandinavian coun-
tries, and especially Norway, 1t has be-
come the leading national pastime and has
been taken up by people OF all ages and
has been carried by visitors to these coun-
tries to England, Germany and Austria.

A Most Popular sport.

Ice yachting did not gain much head
way in this country until 1880, but 1t has
gone by jumps until at the present time
It is one of the most popular sports in the
north. Steel runners have replaced the
wooden ones. and the lateen sails arc
rapidly replacing the square ones, as the
former are found to give more satisfaction.
Those who sail expect to be upset nu-
merous and divers times in the course of
a season. They expect to upset WHINE
going at top speed, and often charge snow
drifts and are thrown far and wide and
the boat is often broken, but the interest
is keen enough to repay for these little
mishaps. Injuries are not often serious.
Sometimes the men on the boat are ducked
in the icy water, but this does not detract
from the sport but only adds interest by
making hazards

these two boys in the cottage is most in

around the establishment all frozen stiff.
