her birth, education and travel especially
fitted her. and in business enterprises, in
which she embarked IN later years, has
been marked, and the pleasure which a
large and influential circle of friends took
in her happiness today is evinced by the
array of valuable gifts which have been
sent her by IF ends on two continents. These
they began to accumulate the past fort

Another family heirloom greatly priced by
the bride was framed picture containing
the original poem, The Health" written
by Edward Coates Pinkney in 1924 and
dedicated to Mrs. Vernon Summerville. a
great aunt of the bride, and presented now
to her by a Baltimore relative.
While the arrangements for the wedding
were, by choice of the bride, simple and
transformations as possible family senti-
ment played a beautiful part, as the date
was her mothers birthday which in the
lifetime of Mrs. Mullan was always hap
PLY observed, and the bride wore also her
mothers wedding dress. This latter was
a robe of real Valenciennes lace, its ivory
wilderness showing to exquisite advantage
over a princess slip of soft, white satin
and chiffon. A tulle veil was also prettily
arranged over her fair hair. and her bridal
bouquet was a shower of lilies of the val
ley. Miss May Mulan, the brides sister,
wore exceptionally pretty dress of pale
blue chiffon, made in princess style, and
with it very modish picture hat, with
blue plumes. Capt. Mullan, whose increas-
ing infirmities did not permit him to escort
his daughter, was seated just near the cou-
pie during the ceremony and the informal
reception which followed. The bay win
dow recess of the long drawing room
was adorned with palms and masses of
pink and white peonies and wistaria
blooms, and this general effect was con-
tinued in the hall and dining room. An
orchestra played the wedding march as the
couple entered. Mr.. Carlton Wall, who
was best man. was in an automobile acct

Unquestionably preparation o r healthy maternity is accomplished, by Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound more successfully than by any other medicine, because it gives tone and strength to the entire feminine organism and renders it perfectly normal.
 A woman in good physical condition transmits to her children the bless ings of a good constitution. Read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Sullivan, 5s9 E. 7th Street, Flatbush, N, Y.
 "What blessing Lydia E. Pinkham's s Vegetable Compound is to motherhood. I send you picture of my three months old baby and myself, and the photo shows the splendid condition of our health. That I am so well and the baby so healthy and happy is entirely due to your excellent remedy Lydia E.

 dence.
 Hartford. Feb. 26.-Evidence in the case against former State Tax Com miser Healy, who was removed by the governor, is on file in the governor s office and is accessible to any citizen who desires to inspect the documents. It takes up eighty typewriter pages.
 One striking paragraph, and the par agraph above all others upon which Governor Woodruff based his action of removal is as follows:
 You'll have to put up s1,2OO to get the position
 This was the vital piece of testimony that was given by Steele and Hartman, the New Britain republicans, who were seeking appointment as county com missioner in Hartford county. They testified that this was the reply of Mir Healy when they asked him what he could do for them by the way of get ting Steel appointed.
 MT. Healy told reporter that the statement that he is preparing to make public will not be issued until late next week He was asked concerning the rumor that the evidence taken by the governor was to be submitted to prom inent lawyers all over the state and their opinions asked on the matter as to whether the governor was right in his action.
 MT. Healy said: "That hasn't been decided upon as yet"
 Such a rumor is going the rounds

here yesterday, stated that the dog which created such havoc in Fair Ha- ven East last Sunday had undoubtedly ran all the way from Wallingford, where it is believed he is owned. He believes it is the same dog which a week or so ago bit a man, and also bit number of pigs. The animal tore a woman's dress, and MT. Smith says it is wonder she was not bitten. This dog bit six other dogs, and killed three ducks in Fair Haven East. Officer Mack was out with a rife looking for the animal, but did not set eyes on him. The dog is described as half coach and half bull.

IN LONGFELLOW'S MEMORY.
CELEBRATION OF CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY OF HIS BIRTH.

Special Lecture This Evening by Pro-
 lessor William Lyon Phelps-WilI
 Discuss Secret of Poets Prodigous
 Popularity.
 The committee on the public lecture course takes pleasure in announcing that, in honor of the tooth anniversary of Longfellow's birth, Prof. William Lyon Phelps will give a special lecture in this course, on the life and work of the great poet, Wednesday evening, February 27, in College street hall.
 Prof. Phelps will discuss first, the enormous popularity of Longfellow, showing that he is not only the most widely read American poet who ever lived, but perhaps the most widely known poet of the nineteenth century What is there in Longfellows writings that has caused this prodigious popu- larity, and given him a wider circle of readers that Tennyson, Victor Hugo and other poets, who were intrinsically greater than he? Prof Phelps will en- deavor to find a satisfactory answer tc this interesting question.
 The more important events in Long fellows life will be given due atten- tion, and the relation of his personal character to his literary output will be discussed. The hostile and sneering criticism against the poet will be con sidered, for there have always beer critics of some standing who have maintained that Longfellow not only was not a great poet, but that he was absolutely destitute of genius, and thai his popularity is owing entirely to his commonplace style. The lecturer vii examine this criticism to see how mucl truth it contains The chief works ot Longfellow will be briefly reviewed, tc ascertain where his surest claim tC greatness lies. What poems may bC called truly original? In what field O. poetry does he stand most high? Wha portion of his work is likely to endure Is he a popular American versifier, oi is he a great world-poet, or does thu truth lie somewhere between these twC extremes? These and other questions Prof. Phelps will endeavor to answe in his lecture; but whatever may be tht individual attitude toward Longfellov taken by the speaker, it is highly fittint that so notable an occasion should Tt pass unnoticed In New Haven.

 Other City Court News.
 Owing to the fact that last Friday, the regular short calendar day in the superior court, was Washingtons birth day, the consideration of the calendar was continued yesterday, when Judge shumway took up consideration of the motions on the list.
 But there was little for him to do Only two motions were ready and two were of minor character. There were no divorces listed because of it's being an off day.
 Final determination was made of the old case of Collis P. Huntington against the Newport News and Mississippi Val ley company. The corporation has been in the hands of a receiver since April 1894 Judge Edmund zacher was the receiver,
 It was a company organized under the laws of the state of Connecticut tc operate southern and western railroads The late Lynde Harrison was counse for the company, and the late Collis P. Huntington, the famous railroad magnate, was deeply interested. The purpose for which the company was organized didn't prove profitable and g receiver was appointed to wind up its affairs,
 The receivership has been prolonged because there have. been several law suits in the south pending decisions ir the court.
 A final dividend of S6 per cent. has been declared by the receiver on liabil- ities amounting to several hundreds o1 thousands of dollars. | Checks were sent out to all the cred itors by Receiver zacller, but some O them have not been returned after can cellation, and the court has granted thu i request of the receiver for permission to hunt these up. They represent { small sum, however.
