Over-Case of Two Johns--Woman
 in the Case-City Court News.
 There was a long hearing in the pro bate court yesterday on the estate of General William H. Pierpont of Fair Haven, a former president of the Union league, who died about year ago. The heirs appear to be in mix-up with the administrator of the estate appoint ed at Springfield, where General Pier pont had been living some time before his death. Herbert Plerpont was the administrator. The trouble is over the alleged transfer of s6.OOO to the profit and loss account of the administrator.
 The heirs allege, some nine in num- Der, that the $6,OOO belongs to the credit side of the estate. Attorney Os- born Day appeared for the heirs living in Springfield and Attorneys Thomson and Mathewnan represented the local heirs. It was finally decided to have an administrator appointed for New Ha- ven, where MT. Pierpont held property Judge studley named George Taylor, who had been suggested. The estate is valued at $12,OOO.

Christmas island lies about $50 miles
southeast of the western extremity OF
Java. 1t is in the Indian ocean and
belongs to Great Britain, having been
annexed in 1888. This interesting lit
tie bit of land in midsea appears to
have been originally a coral reef, which
by volcanic forces has been raised so
high that at it's highest point it sticks
out of the water 1,600 feet. In shape
it is an irregular quadrilateral. 1t has
an area of about twenty square miles.
The British have formed q settlement
on the island for the development Of
the phosphate beds, which are said to
be rich. This material is used for fer

pie of the Shriners gave its annual din
ner to the poor. 1t was a well planned
affair, generously contributed to, and
turned out a big success. But the most
notable thing about it was not on the
programme and made the hit of the
occasion.
While the Shriners were feeding
their guests there came to their hall
80 loaves of bread. The huge six
foot Santa Claus was busy cracking
jokes as he waddled about and took
down the gifts from the Christmas
tree In the middle of one of his stO-
ries there entered another big, fat San
ia Claus, carrying a colossal basket
full Of bread, and behind him were
three or four negroes, also carrying
baskets of bread. One of the Shriner
committeeman at once inferred that
some one had sent gift of bread to
be distributed and signed receipt for
the $50 loaves. In a few minutes they
were handed around to the heads of
families, and an additional smile of
Christmas joy went around with them.
When the festivities were nearly
over and the crowd had begun to dis

''WeIl, that was an order from the

mistake. But it is all right. We are
glad you gave it away, and if you need
more let US know" and the man went
away, evidently fully satisfied with
the incident-New York Times.

came out about ? o'clock and deco
rated the tree, with the assistance of
some of the men. Even the men re
quired, stepladders to reach the top
most boughs. First, the ladies gave
them some artificial icicles, which they
hung on the branches in great profu-
sion As the sun was shining brightly
by this time, it gave the icicles a very
glittering appearance, and the wind,
commencing to blow, shook them gen
tly, making the illusion more perfect.
Then long bright ribbons of many col
ors were suspended from the topmost
limbs and fruit and candies tied on
with ribbons of the same cOlor-Or-
anges with orange ribbon, apples with
red ribbon, lines, with green ribbon,

the tree; large ones were at the base.

and the sight of the happy children
that surrounded it made one wish to
be child again to enjoy 1t to the ut

SIN the front yard were the presents
intended for the grown people, and
each man received one. One was fine

THE THREE WISE MEN.
Who Were They?-An UnsolVed
Christmas Mystery.


Christmas Mystery.
One Christmas mystery remains I'M
solved. Who were the wise men of the
east-the magi who followed the star
of Bethlehem from afar to do homage
to the newborn Saviour?
The simple story as told in the Bible
is one of the most familiar in Christ
mas lore. Any child could recite it in
detail. Painters and sculptors have
made it the theme of the most inspired
products of their brushes and chisels,
but to this day the identity of these
wise men remains mystery. A
search Of the great paintings in which
the subject is treated produces a be-
wilderment There are half a hun
bred different ideas presented. The
varying versions of the books of the
ages are as many.
1t is fair to assume from the fact
that the visitors were received at court
by King Herod and that they carried
gifts of value that they were in their
own country men of royalty OF close
to it. Herod evidently deemed it well
to treat them with Difference, for dis
quoted though he was by their news
of the comet that was to lead them to
the birthplace of the Redeemer he dis
sembled and told them that when they
had found the newborn he would re-
turn to worship with them.

fury, who delved deeply into. historical
sources since lost to the world. Their
story of the three wise men has receiv-
ed wide credence According to these
monks, the wise men were three great
kings called Caspar, Melchoir and Bal
thasar. Caspar was the oldest and
from the north. At the time of the
birth Of Christ he was sixty years old,
and for more than two-thirds of that
time he had ruled in Arabia. Baltha-
sar was black, a native of Saba, from
the east, and forty years old. The
youngest was Melchoir, from the south,
whose country was Tarshish. He was
twenty years old.
