CHILD BRINGS SUIT
Three Year Old Sues Grand
 parents For Support.

Where if not In Litchfeld county and Watertown at that. could a child of tender years be found to bring suit against her grandparents for support? Here comes Bernice Mercy aged three years, through her next friend, to wit, her mother Anna B. Mercy, and sets forth that her father Clarence Mercy deserted her and her mother some time ago leav- ing them without means of support. And she further sets forth that she Is in delicate health and Is unable to provide for herself, and that her father is a son of MT and Mrs Leon7 ard D. Mercy of Watertown and that the said Leonard is now in parts un- known to her and her mother. It IS further alleged that the grandpar- ents Mercy have an estate worth at least $10,000 and that their income is not less than $2,500. The long and the short of the allegations IS that unless Grandparents Morey come to the rescue of Bernice ana her mother, they will be in Dad way. The suit is made returnaple to the superior court.

BALDWIN ST TROLLEY
Contract Made With ihe City
 Amounts 10 Nothing.

A few more decisions like that rendered regarding the Baldwin street trolley extension ought to open the peoples eyes to full realization of the sharp games played upon un- suspecting victims at Hartford. It appears from the ruling that even when the street railway company en- ters into a contract with the city to build and operate road, the com pany still has the right to build or not to build, to operate or not to operate. In other words 1t has both end of the stick and the middle ali the time and Is at liberty to drop things when and where 1t pleases regardless of contracts entered into In good faith with city officials. When one stops to consider what this means he is not surprised that George l.. Lilley was elected govern or against the combined opposition of almost every corporation in the state. It is but fair to assume that Judge Bennett's decision is in accord ance with the law, and people who don't like law that gives one man the right to violate a contract at will while the other party is obliged to stand to his agreement, should continue to pray for a few more such decisions as we have on this Bald- wih street matter. Wonder what all those good republicans in Simons- vile will think of this decision? They should not rail at the court. but simply ask if they are not in some way responsible themselves for the existence of law that en- ables any private corporation to en- ter into an agreement with the al- dermen to build a road or do any, thing else and then back out.

THE CITY COURT.
Boy Charged With Entering Pool rl Room Bound Over.

Michael Flores bed last night and the night before was the bare ground in an alley way near Joe Calabresse's pool room on Grand street, and his covering was few boards. Fibre, in the city court to-day, said his age was r, though he was not the size of boy of 10. He was charged with entering Calabresse's pool room Thursday night and taking num- Der of cigars and cigarettes. He ad- mitted being in the place and taking the goods and his excuse for doing so was that he could not help it. He said he did not care to go home be- cause it was too late. There was no alternative left Judge Burpee under the charge against the boy but to bind him over to the superior court, and this was done, on bail of $500.
 Joseph Wagner, one armed boy of 15, was charged with violating his probation. Last spring Wagner was fined for trespassing on the rail- road. He neither paid nor reported. His father ran away, leaving the bur den of maintaining the house on his wife and daughter. Wagner lost his arm playing around freight cars while in motion His case was continued u week for investigation.
 Stein Watson agreed to pay his wife $3 week and thereby settled a case for non-support. Michael Breen, also charged with non-sup- port, agreed to pay SIP. He has wife and five children.
 Michael Tasceneli, IT, was one of gang of boys who make life misera- ble for passengers at the depot by grabbing their baggage and demand ing money for carrying it for them Officer Kiersted stated that the other day some boys took valise away from woman and would not re- turn it until she had paid them I0 cents. Tasceneli was fined $5 and costs.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Martin Gloven of South Leonard street, a brakeman in the rallroau yard, fell from the running board ai an engine Thursday and received bad scalp wound. He was removed to his home where the injury was dressed by Dr John E. Farrell.
 Among those from this section that attended the game in New Ha- ven to-day were Edward and Will liam Dunphy, William Devine, MT and Mrs James Lawlor, William Shannahan, Miss Louise Malone, Miss Molly Lord and John Malone.
 --The Rev c. D. Chunn will speak on Christ a Picture of God' at the Third Congregational church to-mor- row morning. In the evening his subject will be "A Question of Profit" On Thanksgiving morning the Third church will participate in a union service which will be held at 10:3O o'clock in the Second Congre- gational church.
 Charles Brunaitis, who resided in this section for a number of years, but who some time ago left this city for his home in Poland, has fallen into considerable money. Brunaitls in, recent letter to friend ill Brooklyn informed him that an uncle of his died some months ago and left him property worth several thou sand dollars in American money.
 The committing arranging for the annual sociable and dance to be given by the Brooklyn Athletic club in City hall on Thanksgiving night met last evening. The members are much pleased with the manner in which tickets are selling and now expect to have the event equal to those given in bygone years. It was at first thought that the attendance would be somewhat smaller than usual, but judging from the express sions of the committee there will be no falling off in the number of cou pies present.
 Already many people have begun to send money to relatives across the water and the sub-station at Walk er's drug store, corner of Bank and North Riverside streets, is doing a good business. Although the large amounts have not started as yet, still a number of smaller gifts in the form of money has been mailed for friends or members of the family on the other side. In view of the fact that a large number of the foreign popn- lation has been out of work during the past year, 1t is not expected that the money sent abroad this year will equal that of year ago, and is sure to be far less than the record break ing year of 1906.
 The Brooklyn Athletic club foot ball team expects to make d good showing against the Annex eleven of New Haven at the Driving park to- morrow afternoon. As this is the only big game in town tomorrow there is every reason to believe a large crowd will witness the contest The B. A. c. boys with the new play CTS signed now seem to be formida- ble aggregation and with sufficient practice should round into one of the best teams in the state. The rooters of the Brooklyns will await -morrow's game with interest as 1t will give them fair line on what to expect in the game with All Water bury on Thanksgiving day.

STUDY OF BROWNING.
Rev Charles \. Dinsmore's Talk to
 Women Yesterday.

The Rev Charles A. Dinsmore, D. D., pastor of the First Congrega- tional church, talked on Browning, the Man and the Poet" before mem- bers of the Mount Holyoke and so- ciety and the Women's club yestei- day afternoon The following is a paragraph from the reverend gentle mans remarks:
 One does not study Browning , he said, flor the glory of words and for the music of versification as one goes to Poe; one does not catch from Browning deep expression of pas sion as in Keats, nor does he find as in Shakespeare truth expressed in imperishable forms of beauty Rather was Browning one of thos. fortunate men who could do what he wished to do and thus devoted him. self to the beautiful work of bee0m- ing the poet of the commonplace, raising persons and things from ob. scurity and putting in them a mes. sage to the world. He had a su- preme conception of how a life ought to be lived. Tennyson's message wAs that of obedience, of self-control. of repression. of self-reverence. Brown ing took the opposite view. In his august conception he felt that one should yield to the noble passions and impulses. Let yourself go. and trust to your higher impulses Browning did not fight for his belief in immortality, he accepted 1t be- cause he saw the incompleteness of humanity. Immortality is necessary to round out this incompleteness. So. too, he had a sublime conception of Christ and Christ's divinity. He who will follow him shall not walk in darkness. There is hope for human ity in Christ. Through all Brown ing clung to his interpretation of the universe"

he assures us will bring TO us more

is Proverbs ri, 80. He that winneth

Every man wants to make the most
