audubon, One of the First NaturaIiSts of
This Country---A Life Full of Adven-
lures from Early Boyhood

He filed the house with birds nests and
eggs, making it veritable museum, making
long journeys for certain specimens which
he had heard of. Everywhere on the walls
were rich drawings of birds colored from
nature, with the subjects on a perch over
head.
Few birds escaped the wary eyes of Audu-
bon. He has been known to sit up all night
to investigate the habits of certain birds,
and to note how they met the welcome morn
ing and how their feathers looked In the
first beams of the sun.
When the young naturalist took to himself
a wife In the person of noble woman who
shared his love of nature, he resolved to see
more than ever of the feathered world; so,
setting out on a wedding tour he went to
Louisville, part Of the way in a hatboat,
making sketches of the birds that frequented
the river banks. At Louisville he abandoned
the boat and plunged into the forest, filling
his sketch-book with some of the best efforts
of pencil and brush, and at the same time
laying the foundation of the great work Of
his hfe-his large book. "The Birds of North
America"
Audubon continued his journey down the
Mississippi to New Orleans, where he once
tropical region and spent months in pursuit
of them.
The young naturalist no longer looked like
the tenant of the little farm near Philadel-
phia, for he sailed to the forest, rife in
hand and sketch book under his arm. He
was fond of styling himself the American
Woodsman" during these tramps, and his
earb certainly gave color to the title

MATTERS IN COURT
Judge Roraback Hears Three Cases-P. Raymond Greist
 on the Stand.
NEWS OF PROBATE COURT
License Granted for City Hotel Hearing on LenOx Hotel
 Case Begun.

Judge Alberto T. Roraback of the su- perior court finished two cases yester- day and partially heard a third. The irst ease was that of Charles G. Root, administrator, vs. Edwin |. Lathrop. The plaintiff declared that the defend- ant should pay over to him certain amount of money which had originally belonged to Mrs Lathrop MT. La throp married in 1855. In 1877 Mrs. Lathrop inherited goodly sum of money from her father. His contention now is that she offered to give him the money, but that he refused to take 1t, putting it instead in a Waterbury Say tngs bank where 1t has remained ever since. MT. Lathrop has since married again. Mir. Root is the administrator for Harry Lathrop, a son by the first wife. He claims that the original amount that Mir. Lathrop put in the bank and the interest theron should go to Mrs. Lathrop's heirs. In a pre- vious suit Mir Lathrop claimed that he was the sole administrator for his wife's estate, but Judge Gager ruled to the contrary al that time. Judge Roraback did not make any decision yesterday.
