"Ologists" have for years been tell

on their heads, the lines on their hands,
the contour of their faces, their hand
writing and dozen or more other
methods. Now a new "ology" has come
into the field, called "shoeology"; and

Columbus has one "shoeologist." He
is David Cassidy. n cobbler who also
owns & small shoe store. Just as Il
mans handwriting or his eyes or the
way he wears his clothing betray some
characteristic part of his nature, so
does the way he wears his shoes out
also tell its story.
Why it is so, even to a certain ex-
tent. Mr.. Cassidy doesn't pretend to
explain. The shape of the foot has
something to do with the way the shoe
wears out; the way a man walks has
q great deal more But why the honest
man walks one way and the dishonest
man walks another, or why the heels of
changeable men are inclined one way
and the heels of stubborn men inclined

DECIDE NO CASES
Supreme Court Session Comes to an End Without
 Reports.
MAY COME BACK LATER
Temporary Successor to Fessenden to be Made by Judge
 Case.

Somewhat surprisingly the judges or the supreme court after final adjourn ment of their session in this city, yes terday afternoon, and debileration on old cases that had been heard by them, did not hand down any decisions to the clerk of the court
 They were in consultation for a few hours yesterday afternoon and law yers who have cases pending ana awaiting determination anticipated some utterances from the judges or the error or mo error" variety, but none came down. The jurists met and discussed matters and then decided to go away without giving out anything.
 It is likely that the judges will come to New Haven at a later day and de- eide the eases reposing in their green bags
 Contrary to report the judges did not take up the successorship to the late Samuel Fessenden, who was state attorney for Fairfield county. The va cancy in this office will not be filled till the congregated judges of the supreme and superior courts meet in June, But vacancy exists and it will be filled temporarily, according to custom, by the judge who sits at the next term of the criminal superior court to be held in Fairfield county. This judge will be Judge Case.
 There are several candidates for the place and 1t would be more than pro- phetic to say which one will be se- lected.
 The last case the supreme court took under consideration yesterday was the case of Ada M Lockwood and others appeal from probate. It is a Fairfield county case. 1t concerns the last will and testament of Sarah J. Lockwood An estate valued at s93,000 is involved
 The superior court found that tho will of Sarah J Lockwood was valid
 The lower court denied motion fol a new trial and an appeal was taker which was argued yesterday.
