New York. April 27.--(special. .)-New York Is divided as to the comparative values of theoretical and practical methods of securing much-debated peace. While the Laird of skibo in the 1ermer field was winning the some what fncongruous military honor Of commander of the Legion of Honor, De- fective Petrosino of the Police De- partment, who got no medal, with detail of fifty picked men was accom- DltnhinE some real results in the way -of the disarmament of nations in New Rorks East Side. As consequence the property room at police headquar- 1ers has assumed the appearance of an ursenal. There are said to be about 1o, 900 persons among the foreign-born residents of the city who so armed with deadly weapons. Among them are many Sicilians who are believed to have been bandits in their native isle, end to whom are attributed most Of the Y Recalled black hand outrages or the past year or two. The movement for disarmament began with the fatal shooting of two policemen by an 1tal- san whom they had attempted to ar rest for assault upon a fellow country man. Thereupon the Italian detective squad attached to the central omce Bureau spread it's dragnet and swept the city from the Battery to the farth- est limits of the Bronx. Every Ital- fan dive and saloon in Mulberry Bend, Mott street, Thompson street, Sullivan street, Frog Hollow, Hells Kitchen, Little Italy and a dozen other sus- pected neighborhoods was thoroughly searched and more than 25o bearers of concealed weapons gathered in, who assayed all the way from a single. keen bladed stiletto up to three knives and two revoIvers apiece. The good work still goes on, but the most form adabie weapon in the collection SO far Ds an ordinary carving knife ground O a razorlike double edge.
 When Daniel Riker was gathered to his fathers back in the year 1850, he left to his five heirs a large estate and Il quantity of trouble which has kept his memory green even unto this day. Hhe estate was administered in trust untfI 1878, when a dissatisfied 1egatee started the trouble by bringing a par hilton suit Then began a fascinating uAries of legal technicalfties, court de- hays, quests for missing heirs in which thousands of dollars were spent, the uisappearance and death of others. the birth of children and grandchildren 10 the original legatees-a tale which has no parallel save in the celebrated case of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce which Eharles Dickens wove into his novel of kBleak House." Lawyers came into she case and died; persons inter ssted in fighting the action passed away and others took their places. Aess than month ago the Remarkable case was strengthened out by the condemnation of the property by the city for the Williamsburg A nR A who include Havemeyers and some oth- CT promin ent members of the Fifth Avenues Four Hundred. had been To- cated and decision was rendered in their favor When the city has finally paid the awards, when the Court of Appeals has passed upon certain tech nica1 questions now awaiting its de- cision. and when all the lawyers have been paid, the fifty living descendants of the worthy old gentleman-provided no more are discovered or born in the nieantime-will receive the patrimony that has been coming to them during ahirty-two years of litigation. But an average of s220 to each is all that Is now left of what was a large estate half a century ago and has multiplied sn value as many times as the heirs have multiplied.
 The eagle is a fine bird. undoubtedly, but for all-around eff1ciency and con- scientious devotion to duty, the great American hen has virtues which can not be denied. Just now she Is evil dently working overtime In the attempt to supply New York with fresh eggs. For weeks the product of her activi- ties has been pouring in with increas- ing volume, until the receipts Have reached an average of 100000 eggs per day. Every housekeeper. of course. knows that she pays the grocer for fresh eggs but even he cannot always tell how many chances less than twelve 10 the dozen she takes of getting what
