Famous Loving Cups.

Some. OF the old loving cups were
called grace cups. OF the specimens
now in possession Of the English guilds
and corporations the most famous is
the Henry VIII. grace cup, which be-
longs to the BARRIERS company OF Lon
don. With its four globular bells hang
Ing around the outer rim, says the
Jewelers. Circular, this cup might weIf
excite the envy OF even the most hon
est collector Of sflverware. The name
of the cup is derived from the fact
that King Hal was the donor, the
grace cup being intended to comment
crate the union Of the BARRIERS with the
guild of surgeons. The cover carries
the Tudor rose, portcullfs and feur-de-
lis, the final of the I'D being mounted
with the imperial crown, the English
and French arms being beneath, sup
ported by the lion and greyhound.
The SINNERS company has pea

three chicks at her feet, stands on the

OPPOSED TO MONOPOLY. John Gilmour Asks Representative Hayes to Favor Certain Bill.

John Gilmour, who was bright political light in the frs. ward in the gala days of Perry Morris as first selectman, has taken up the question of telephone service. It is patent to all that MT Gilmour is a great pa- tron of the telephone, and that he favors competition. Representative Hayes received the following letter from him to-day:
 Waterbury, Conn, May 21, 1907. Hon Abner P. Haynes, representative
 to the general assembly.
 Dear sir-The undersigned, a citi- zen and taxpayer, actuated solely by spirit of public interest and well fare, takes this opportunity to call respectfully to your attention the glaring need of some radical change In the telephone law as 1t at present exists on our statute book.
 Believing that the best interests of all will be conserved and the most desirable results obtained by allow ing those who, under reasonable re- strictions, may wish to engage in the telephone industry to organize and operate under such restrictions in an open field, I would ask that you give this matter your careful scrutiny, and. If consistent with your yiewg, support the measure which favors a repeal of the present telephone law.
 Yours respectfully,
 JOHN GLAMOUR.

RELIEVED OF ss5
John Kirsch Left His Purse on
 Counter Yesterday.

John Kirsch, who recently pur- chased the grocery store of J. H. McEvoy at 126 Baldwin street was relieved of $s5 yesterday. The money was in a pocketbook, which he carelessly placed on the counter and when he came to look for it., the -mazuma had disappeared. Kirsch who has been in the store only a week received ton of coal yesterday from Frank Miller & Go. He paid the driver, who was color ed man, out of the roll of bills which he had in his pocket. While the colored fellow was putting in the coal another colored man appeared and talked to some length with the teamster.
 After paying the driver, Kirsch who was in the store with his wife laid his p.rse on the counter, per- haps not mindful of how much was in. it. He attended to some other work but suddenly thought of his money but when he went to get 1t, the wallet was not in sight.
 Kirsch felt his loss keenly and did not care to talk about the matter, in fact he had not reported it to the police.

SEWELL FOR MAYOR. Rumor Has Him Industriously Seek. ing The Republican Nomination.

e l
 There seems to be more truth than poetry in the rumor that John E. Sewell, until recently general man. ager for the Connecticut Railway & Lighting company, is working for the republican nomination for mayor next fall. All of the prominent members of the Waterbury club of which MT Sewell is member also, make no evasion in saying that MT Sewell would like to run for mayor fin the next city campaign. Some say that he has nut for the trolley company to crack and that he would like to be boss of the city during the process of cracking the aut. And 1t would not surprise some of his fel- low members of the Waterbury club if, as mayor of Waterbury, he would proceed to make the company crack more than one nut. From his knowl- edge of the companys affairs he is naturally acquainted with it's vul- nerable quarters, and though he Is a frequent visitor to the company's To- cal offices, just as the late candidate for governor, Allan w. Paige does in Bridgeport, rumor has 1t that he would not re-enter its employ again for anything.
 Truly, it is admitted that MT Sew el is ambitious. He would certain ly be an interesting candidate for any political position in this town. and he is far more popular than a great many has any idea of.
 But 1t is admitted on all sides that against candidate like Mayor ,Thoms it would hardly be worth while to count his votes on election night.

HORSE CAUSES TROUBLE.
Bit Two People in Exchange Place
 To-day.

Now that the dog scare is over and the cat family is keeping rather quiet, the horse fever has started. This morning c. H. Hart. the real estate agent. and Mrs Arthur F. Cowles, the milliner. were bitten by horse which was standing in front of Hodson's cafe in Exchange place. The animal is owned by c. F. Main of Watertown and is known as a snapper. In all probability the owner will settle the claims which MT Hart and Mrs Cowles will undoubtedly make against him. as both were pain fully hurt.
 It was about II o'clock that Mrs Cowles was walking along. carrying some dishes in her arms. As she was passing the horse, which was hitched to one of the posts. 1t stuck out Its head and opening wide its , jaws seized Mrs Cowles. It grabbed her with such force that 1t threw her to the ground and almost .ren- dered her unconscious. It not only bit through her clothing. but took 6 piece oil her shoulder. The woman almost tainted because of the shock
 It was only a few moments later that c. H. Hart was passing and Snapper" once more exhibited a clever bit of mouth play. Once more shooting out his head his jaws sep arated and closed with a snap on the shoulder of MT Hart. His coat was torn and the blood flowed freely from the wound that Snapper made.
 Detective Jack" Kennaugh was ! informed of what had happened SO he decided to take the snify snapper in charge. He took him to Dever- eaux's livery stable. where 1t had all the fun 1t wished making dents in the atmosphere.
 About fifteen minutes later C. F. Main came rushing into the police station. My horse has been stoIen, shouted he to Major Ramon Some biz fat duIer just drove down West Main street with it," he continued. Main vas much excited. but he cooled down a trine when he was told that his horse vas snifing over at the court house stables.

pointed out, do not deny that the suit is mertori-
Gus, and the next friends declare that the oues-
non is one which should be tried in equity
1t Is maintained. furthermore. that the next
friends cannot be thrown of court by auy ac-
uon OF the alleged incompetent person taken after
