MARK TWAIN'S GIFT.

Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) received on Christmas day a present from hls friend, Robert J. Collier,
 of Golfers Weekly, N. r., present which has caused a great deal of mer- riment at the Clemens mansion since its arrival. MT Collier, few days before the present was sent, wrote MT Clemens a letter telling him of his in- tention of presenting the author with an elephant. Mark Twain set about to prepare place to keep the animal and after due delibera tion decided the Garage was the most suitable place So accordingly it was fitted up for the reception of the animal. The day be- fore Christmas 12 bales of hay arrived at the Bedding depot from the firm of Holmes, Keeler & Selleck of Norwalk, grain dealers, marked "elephant" and were carted to Mir Clemens handsome country seat, and the same day Samuel May, assistant chief trainer of Bar nun & Bailey's circus, arrived from Bridgeport and presented a letter of introduction and stated he had been sent to see a proper place was ar- ranged for the elephant and also to give instructions in regard to its care. Christmas morning arrived and MT Clemens sent to the Bedding depot
 for his present and instead of having real live elephant it was toy one on wheels about the size of a big calf. The humorist and his household are still making merry over it's practical joke and some are wondering whether book will be written on the subject.

CASE
IS TAKEN UP At
MANCHESTER
Judge Waterman Hearing Evil
dence in Case Today
BEN SCORED FIRST POINT
Judge Refused to Accept as Final the
Order of the New York State
Courts

The habeas corpus case for the pos
session of Lenora Estabrook, the
three year old child of Mr. and Mrs.
Ben. Estabrook was taken up before
Judge Waterman in county court at
Manchester this morning.
Mrs. Estabrook was granted legal
separation from ner husband and the
custody of the child by the New York
state courts, but the case was uncon-
tested by her husband there as he pre-
ferred to make the fight in the courts
here.
Mrs Estabrook was represented in
court by r. c. Sanford of Albany, j.
X. Batchelder and Charles A. Maurer
of Bennington. For Mr.. Estabrook
were o. NJ. Barber and w j. Meagher
of Bennington.
Mr.. Sanford for Mrs. Estabrook pre-
scented the order of the New York
state court and argued that it should
be accepted as final as the parties
were residents of New York when the
trouble occurred. Mr.. Barber oppos-
ed on the ground that the case was en-
titled to hearing on its merits. Judge
Waterman declined to accept the order
as final but allowed it to be filed as
part of the evidence in the case.
This left the case open for hearing
on its merits and tne introduction OF
evidence was begun at IL o'clock. Mrs
Estabrook was the first witness and
was on the stand until 1890. There
are a dozen other witnesses present
and the case will not be completed I'M
til tomorrow.
Mrs. Estabrook told the story of hei
troubles with her husband, accus ne
him of striking and choking her and
throwing her down. Several letters
were presented as evidence which she
stated fell out of her husbands over
coat pocket. The letters were not
read but were said to be from Mamie
Collins of Keene, ~ H. Mrs. Esta
brook charges her husband with meet
ing the Collins girl in Albany and oil
having had improper relations with
her. She stated that Ben had admit
ted the fact to her.
She described the final quarrel be
tween herself and husband, saying
that she was walk 'ng on the street
when they met her husband. There
was scene and some excited CONVEX
satlon. Later there was another
scene at their home and she was eiec
ted therefrom by her husband who la
ter sent her some of her things. She
stated that she had met Bartlett only
twice before. This latter part of hel
testimony was drawn out under cross
examination by Mr. Barber. She sale
her relations vita Bartlett were only
those of casual acquaintance and that
there was absolutely nothing improp
er between them.
Mr. Barber showed her some letter.
and asked her If they were in hel
handwriting. She said that the writ
ing looked like hers but she did moi
say positively that she wrote them
The letters were admitted as evidence
without being read
Several of Mrs. Estabrook's rela
tives and friends are at Manchester
to testify in her behalf and Mr.. Esta
brook has witnesses there from Troy
and Bennington to testify as to his
character and standing.

SUGAR TRUST MAY
SOON BE PUT ON
THE RACK
Taft Directs Attorney General
to Investigate
EARLE'S HELP is NEEDED
RevlsIonist Senators VIII Make the
Most of Compromised Suit Scan-
dial In Renewing Fight on Trust

Washington, June 10.-President
Taft is taking personal interest In
the manner in which tne Sugar Trust
compromise the suit against it by the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company
and is going to find out what pros
pect there is of successful criminal
prosecution of the trust.
The practical confession that it was
guilty civilly under the Sherman law,
which the trust made in agreeing to
pay, $2,000,000 and return the secur-
tiles for a loan of $1,250,000 rather
than face the possible verdict of the
jury, led to the belief here that after
all criminal prosecution under the
same law which has just brought the
trust civilly to terms may result in
conviction and punishment of some of
the trust officials.
President Taft called in Attorney
General Wickersham this morning and
directed aim to look into the case at
once and see what could be done.
There is reason to believe that the de-
partment of justice has already begun
to study the case, with view to pos
sible commencement of criminal pro-
ceedings but the department is eX-
tremely reticent about such cases.
There has been no fuss and feathers
about the handling of the department
of justice since Mr.. Wickersham be.
came attorney general and it has been
announced autnoritatively several
times that there would be no prosecu
ton of cases in the newspapers as
long as he is at the head of the depart
ment. But there has been an appar
| ent increase of activity and of vigoI
which indicates that if the attorney
general finally concludes that there
is a good case against the trust on the
evidence presented by the Pennsyl
vania Refining company, or with other
evidence which may be obtainable
there will be a prosecution which
will make up in energy what it may
lack spectacularly.

MILLIONAIRE MEAD
TO LOAN STATE
SOME MONEY
TO Pay Its Bills in the Depart
ment of Justice
SIPS, 900 IN THE TREASURY
But This Money Cannot Be Used as 1t
Was Not Appropriated for That
Department

Montpelier. June 10-Lieut. Gov
Mead of Rutland has come to the aid
of the department of Justice and II
is reported here, will loan the state
auditor $4,000 to $4,000 TO pay the
bills of jailers and state officers un-
maid because of the exhaustion OF the
appropriation.
At a conference in st. Johnsbury
Yesterday between Lieut. Gov Mead
State Auditor Graham and Attorney
General Sargent, DR. Mead said ne
could see no objection personally to
advancing the money and would prob
ably do so but decided to consider the
matter day or two.
1t is reported ne will notify the
state auditor tomorrow of his accep-
lance of the proposition. DR.. Mead
simply comes to the aid OF the state,
pays the claims in the department
short in proper audit and will bring
his claim for reimbursement before
the next legislature which will prompt
ly repay him without any question.
This generous act of DR.. Mead will
nelp the state out of an unprecedented
position. The state occupies the po-
sition of having s125,OOO in the treas
ury. while its officers cannot legally
pay bills authorized by the legislature
because the appropriation Nhas been
spent.
Mr.. Graham has had for some days
statement prepared for publication,
which will be given out as soon as he
receives word from DR.. Mead to go
ahead. Mr.. Granam has been at work
on this statement of the difficulty for
more than week. In answer to the
criticism of his action in saying moth
ing. he remarked tonight: II find 1t a
pretty good plan when you haven't
anything to say to keep quiet ! will
have enough to say when the time
