recedes from it's recently announced
intention to delay payment on Ger
tain OF its livestock purchases until
they have passed tho government
post mortem examination. The pack

cattle, and In order to protect them
selves they had found it necessary to
refuse payment on COW stuff" until

THE LION AND THE MOUSE.


 "The Lion and the Mouse" probably one of the greatest plays ever offered American theater-goers, will be pre- sented at the New Haven theater to- morrow, Friday and Saturday nights, and at the special matinee Saturday at 2:15.
 Charles Klein, the author, unfolds in this play a perfectly simple, direct but powerful story, in which girl pits her. self against the most famous moneyed magnates of the world. With her wom- ans wit as her only weapon, she enters the lists against a powerful coterie of financiers and corrupt senators, who have brought dishonor upon her father, who, in his capacity of supreme court judge, has rendered decisions inimical to the intereses of these capitalists, It is a story of the weak against the strong, a subject that cannot well fail to appeal to all classes of theater-go- CTS.
 This is one of the most successful dramas of the new century, 1t wonder ful popularity being demonstrated by the fact that it has been played 800 con- secutive times in New York city, with the exception of Sundays. It will be presented here by the same cast which presented 1t at the Lyceum theater In New York for nineteen consecutive months, and the original company will present the play here. The advance sale of seats has been large, but good seats remain for sale.

 The petition was filed by Attorney E. P. Arvine, her counsel, and will be assigned a hearing next week at which it will be contested by the heirs.
 Mrs. Todd has already taken an ap peal to the superior court from the decision of the probate court, which appeal is still pending. She asks that her expenses in the probate court be paid from the estate.

A cosTIY WOODEN LEG.

Because he was thrown from his wagon 20 feet, landing against a tele- graph pole with such force that his wooden leg was splintered and he was otherwise injured in a collision be- tween a trolley car ana his wogon, Frank Brown of Orange has brought suit against the Consolidated Railway company of $1,OOO damages.
 The accident occurred on November 30 last, at Whalley avenue and Blake street Mir. Brown alleges that the trolley car was running at an exces- sive rate of speed and gave him no warning of its approach. It hit his wagon in the rear, throwing him out. He landed against pole by the road side and splintered his wooden leg. He received other injuries which laid him up for a month. The case is re- turnable to the common pleas court and papers in 1t were served upon the road yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Walsh.

100 MILES AN HOUR.

And Safety in Travel at That.
 One hundred miles an hour Is the speed which an electric train attained Monday in a trial run on the New York, New Haven and Hartford road between Larchmont and New Rochelle. The motor of the train is of the type called single phase" The overhead contact system was used on the stretch of track when the test was made, and the officers of the New Haven road say tn experiments have shown 1t to be su- perior to the third rail system.
 It is also declared that the tests show that passenger trains can be run at 100 miles an hour with perfect safety.

THn Ex- MONTANA COWBOY

Bob Roy Taylor, the ex-Montana cowboy, whose arrest for conducting a personal revival of frontier days In North Haven, last week, led to his be- en from the Whalley avenue jail 10 the village court and taxed q with costs of $26 by Justice Blakeslee Monday even ing for his regin of terror.
 Constable Crockett has been trying ito get him into the village court for trial ever since his arrest here, and got Sheriff Speigel to take him there last evening.
 Taylor pleaded guilty to a charge of breach of the peace and was taken back to jail to work out the fine.
 When he is brought before the po- lice court to-day for the freight thefts continuance will probably be given as investigations are being made into his assertion that many other railroad brakemen who belong to an organiza- tion known as the Blue Line are im- plicated with him in the thieving.

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend their lives at home, and it is these women who are willing and ambitious that their homes shall be kept neat and pretty, their children we'll dressed and tidy, who do their own cooking, sweeping, dusting and often washing, ironing and sewing for the entire family, who call for our sympathy.
 Truly the work of such woman is never done" and Is it any wonder that she breaks down at the end of 8 few years, the back begins to ache, there Is a displacement, inflammation or alteration of the abdominal organs, a female weakness is brought on, and the struggle of that wife and mother to continue her duties Is pitiful.
 Lydia E. Pinkham'S Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and neros, is the exact medicine a woman needs whose strength is over taxed. It keeps the feminine organs in a strong and healthy condition. In preparing for childbirth and re- cuperating therefrom it is most eff cient. It carries woman safely through the change of life and in making her strong and well asslsts her to be good wife and mother
 Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeannette, Pa, writes
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham--
 II suffered severely with pain every month and also a pain in my left side. My doctor prescribed for me but did me no good; a friend advised Lydia E.

Predicts That Exposition Will Be Both
 Brilliant and Successful Affair.
 James H. Macdonald, highway com missioner for Connecticut has returned to his home in this city from the Jamestown exposition. He enjoyed the trip but stated he was kept most busy while there
 T had the honor of putting up the first complete exhibit which was set in place in the exposition buildings" said the commissioner yesterday. T got right to work as soon as I reached Jamestown last week, and we hustled the exhibit of the work of the Connec- ticut highway commission into place. We were handicapped and so was ev- cry party which was putting up an ex- hibit, by the fact that there is no city or no business center near the James, town grounds. We were obliged to send six or seven miles to the city of Norfolk for every spool of thread we lSeueu tO put UT eAIllDlL lulO shape. This took considerable time and caus- ed us some bother but we finally sized the situation up and made one trip in which we bought everything we need ed and that settled it. It was only last week that the trolley line from Norfolk was extended to the exposi- tion grounds but now cars are running regularly and, although some of the buildings are not quite completed, things will be humming by the time ] the exposition opens next Saturday." ! Commissioner Macdonald laid plans for the reception of the governors party from this state which win Weave here to-day to open the exposition as the Connecticut delgation. He stated that everything was in readiness for their hearty reception and that all in dications point to the most brilliant ex- position on record. MT. Macdonald was highly pleased with the buildings which he said, were the handsomest of those of any exposition ever given

Poy,,u New TAemter.


 Ellie Fay, the Belle of Avenue A, was the real big hit of the Poll bill last night with her choice selections of song hits, and her closing favorite, the Belle of Avenue A, compelled her to respond to several encores.
 Miss Fay has decidedly novel man ner of singing her numbers, which keeps up the interest, and her peculiar mannerisms won for her plenty of ap- plause. The orchestra assists material ly in the proper way to make the song numbers the big success they are.
 Beatrice Mckenzie and Walter shan non, in the skit "A Shine Filtration" introduced two new people to local vaudeville devotees, and two splendid artists are rendering some song num- bers of merit. MT. shannon possesses rich baritone voice, while Miss Me- Kenzie, who was the prima donna of "The Tenderfoot." is equally pleasing. The skit is built on new lines and is very effective
 Billy Van, the late minstrel star, was a winner with some good material in the joke and story line; Rosaire and Doretto, in a daring and sensational acrobatic and tumbling act, were pleas ing in the novelty line; Valveno broth- CTS, as the equilibrlsts and gymnasts, were good; Pierce and Mazee were shifted to open the show, and Nita AL len and her company as a special feat ure presented a scenic novelty, Tn Car Two, Stateroom One" Riding on a pass that does not belong to you was very good ending.
 The electrograph has some automo- bile race pictures, a story following the races being carried along. The show is up to the usual standard and will be repeated afternoon and evening for the balance of tine week.
