Elevator Co., respondent.
Plaintiff, the owener Of certain real
property, entered into the usual farm
contract with one A, to farm the
same for three years, A. to receive
certain share of the crops each
year upon division thereof, the con-
tract containing the usual stipulation
lreserving title in plaintiff to all such
crops until a division. In February
1905, being the third year, and for
the purpose of securing the payment
of certain Indebtedness due from a to
plaintiff, A executed and delivered to:
plaintiff chattel mortgage upon his
undivided one-half interest in ,all
crops which have been or may be
sown, grown, planted or harvested
during the year 1905 = = = = = on the
following described real estate" (de-.
scribing the property included in the
farm contract.)
The question of, waiver is largely
one Of intent and under the evidence;
it is apparent that no such waiver
was intended by the acceptance of the.
chattel mortage. K
In plaintiffs S original complaint, he.
based his right Of discovery upon
the chattel mortgage, claiming mere
|ly a special property in the grain.
1 subsequently he was permitted to
amend his complaint by abandoning
such theory and alleging ownership
of the grain by virtue of the farm
contract. Held: That by adopting
the theory of recovery set forth in
the original comp laint, plaintiff did
/ not thereby preclude himself from re-
eedings therefrom nor did such act
eVince an intention on plaintiff 's part
to waive his legal title under the con-
tract. He had no election Of rem
edies as his only cause of action was
tgrounded upon his title under the
farm contract, the chattel mortgage
not having attached to the grain at
he date of the conversation Plain
tiff was merely mistaken in attempt
ing to pursue a remedy which he did
not not have and this cannot be. con-
strued as an election to waive or
abandon the only remedy which he
possessed. u s5z:-
The stipulation in the farm contract
reserVing title to the crops in plain
tiff did not constitute a chatte1 mort
gage, hence the filing of such con-
tract was unnecessary as against in
necent purchasers ofss3the grain; fol-

Allowance to Be Cut on and No HcIp

New York, Aug. ti.-Lawyer Dan iel O'Rellly, who was one of Harry K. Thaw's counsel during both mur- der trials and who is now contemplat- ing legal action to prevent Thaw from continuing the bankruptcy proceed ings instituted in Pittsburg, gave out statement to-day in which he said that Thaw would be compelled to cut off the allowance of s1 900 a month to his wife Mrs, Evelyn Thaw, lf he Is permitted 10 go on with the bank ruptcy' proceedings. Tt looks very much as though Mrs. Thaw will not receive the customary allowance of 1ooo the first of the month" he said. With Thaw's affairs tied up in the bankruptcy court I don't sec how he can. make any provision for her, un- less he received money from some outside source. There Is no chance of any help of that kind from Mrs. Will Ham Thaw," he added.

The alliance has sent mem orial to Sir Edward Grey. the foreign secretary, calling attention to this pro- jected violation of the Protestant con- stltution of the United Kingdom and urging that steps at once be taken to prevent the king from paying this com pliment to the Catholic prelates of America and Europe who are coming to attend the congress.

MONEY IN PLAYS "Charley's Aunt" Brought Re- turns of Over $1,500,-
 900. OTHER GREAT SUCCESSES Playwrights That Have Been Very Successful In Financial
 Way.

Somebody has remarked that one- half of the people of New York are writing plays and that the reason the other half aren't Is because they are writing books. Of course this state ment has to be taken with barrel of salt, but the fact remains that the pen and typewriter are being over worked nowadays by those ambitious to become playWrights, or authors, and 1t Is hardly to be wondered at, in view of the big prizes which await those who strike the public fancy, says the Hartford Courant.
 A writer in the New York Times discusses the question of financial re- wards for writers or plays, actors and managers. He says that the play wright's profits have greatly increased since H. J. Byron had to sell his capital comedies (which later netted many fortunes) for fixed sum down, usually about s2,500, and died poor man" Dion Bouclcault, who may be said to have belonged to two genera tons, as the majority of his later sue cesses came within the cycle of high CT payments and bigger profits, said little time before his death that he had sometimes made as much as s200,O00 year by his pen.
 w. S. Gilbert of "Pinafore" fame received s450.000 in eleven years as his share of the returns accruing from the D'oyly Carte productions of his operas, for which Arthur Sullivan wrote the music. Some years ago George K. Sims, the English dramat- ist. said that he had made about $50,- l 900 in royalties from single melo- l drama, and that the returns were still coming In at the rate of $500 a week. Wilson Barrett paid Sims s150,000 in fees for "The Lights O London"
 In this country Bronson Howard Augustus Thomas. Clyde Fitch and others have made big money out oi | their plays and Nictorien Sardou and other French dramatists have made fortunes.
 Ii is not easy to make good esti- mates of the profits of theatrical man dRbrS, DuI IL lldy bt sdiu ip"ehi 'ii" the producer, who runs great risks makes two or three times as much a' the author of the successful play "Charley's Aunt" which was first pro duced in London, has been bis money marker and probably holds thu record, Its owners having taken ii about million and half, and th' end Is not yet Our Boys" produced at the Vaudeville theater, London, ha! netted about s400000. More thar s1.000,O00 was made from "Shenan doah," and the profits of The Pri vate Secretary The Old Home stead" The Sign of the Cross "Th' County Fair" "A Message iron Mars" The Music Master" Wa! Down East" and "The Lion and tho Mouse" have been very large. A sue cessful play is liable to live for years and there are many still living whicl have been on the boards from twent. to thirty years Actors, as well a playwrights and managers, have conn in for larger financial returns for thei work in recent years.

Athletic Events, Baseball Games, Dancing, Music, Etc, Liyen
 Matters Up.

The annual picnic of St Mary's parish was held yesterday at the Mo- mauguin under rather favorable cir cumstances Despite the slight rain which occurred in the afternoon about 5 o'clock, the ardor of the picnickers was not dampened and 1t was rather late hour when they left there last evening.

 The appearance of the grounds in front of Mir. Whites Momauguin hotel resembled more that of circus ground than lawn from the several tents which had been erected in the near vicinity.
 In one tent the greatest show on earth was in progress. while in an- other everything imaginable to cat or to drink could be bought. The St. Francis orphan asylum band could be heard all afternoon rendering selections that would have made Sousa blush The band Is a truly wondrous one, composed of twenty-two youngsters of an average age of thirteen years and organized by the priests at the asylum It i' fast proving to be one that will ir the future attract considerable atten- ton.
 A ball game in the morning be- tween the Orphan Asylum team and St. Mary's academy and one in the afternoon between the New Haver Police and an ex-N. H. H. S. nine coupled with dancing on the verands of the hotel tended to liven matters to great extent.
