ROURKE WINS IN
 LAND DEAL SUIT

By a decision handed down yester- day by Judge Curtis in the New Ha- ven superior court. Michael J. Goode loses his land deal suit against Thom- as F. Rourke, for $2,200. the balance alleged to be due for the sale of the Water street property to the city of New Haven. Judgment Is given the defendant with costs. The decision says in part:
 It seems very clear that the plain- tiff was a partner in a transaction with Rourke and Molloy to deal with the plaintiffs option on this property in June. In December when Rourke held the option, that partnership ceas- ed and he became merely a real estate agent of Rourke and also of the bank the owner of the property. His right to one-fourth of the profits under the former agreement would not hold for the commission he was to receive from Rourke or Rourke and Mol-oy without specific or implied agreement to that effect and such an agreement I do not fnd.'

Creditors Will Get
 Only Small Dividend

New Haven, oct. so-It was not un- til 3:15 yesterday afternoon that the jury in the La pides- -Shanbrom vs. Cut bert case returned a verdict for the defendant, after deliberating Thurs day afternoon and yesterday, in all about six hours.
 This outcome of the case is a great disappointment to the creditors of the bankrupt Lapides- -Shanbron company. whose dividends would have apprecia- bly increased had they won this suit, which was to recover $17, ,000 for brass bearings sold to c. w. Moore of Bridgeport, from John c. Culbert of New York, with whom it was alleged Moore was in partnership in the pur- chase in question.
 It was stated by plaintiffs attorney, Judge Tyner, that he probably would take exception to the judges charge to the jury and file an appeal from the verdict.

It is still owned and con- trolled by the veteran author-actor, Denman Thompson, though the old gentleman seldom appears in the play nowadays.

originally sThe Old, Homestead'' was broad and unseemly than all more credit should fall to him who has lift ed it out of the kmire and cleansed and purified it, It is one Of the plays that can be recommended to all sorts and conditions of men and while this advice is an old story, 1t naturally follows in the wake of this classic among heart plays. tsThe Old Nome stead contains the best comedy, the purest homely sentiment and the sweetest breath of naturalness the stage konws.

 EAST LYNNE,'
 The remarkable prosperity and won derful longevity attained by East Lynne" can be explained only by the fact that the story the play unfo1ds is intensely human. Although num- berless dramas have been written in imitation of this excellent play, not one of them reaches the depths of feel ing or sounds the note of human ap- peal as truly as does this dramatic picture of the joys and sorrows of the beautiful, unfortunate, Lady Isabel. To adequately portray the varying emo- tions of this complex character is a task, requiring not only the charm of youth, but marked degree of his tronic ability as well. "East Lynne'' comes to Jackson's next Wednesday matinee and evening at popular prices.

The Pona'a Cnniltlen.

Rome, Oct. 4.-Grave fears are
caused by the physical condition of Pope
Plus x, despite authoritative statements
that the siment which keeps the pom
tiff In close seclnsion is not of serious
nature. Pope Plus today is receiving
only his secretary and his closest &C.
quainlsuces among the vatican officials
because his physicians insist that he
must have absolute rest.
The statement that the pope's present
illness is not serious, which is being
used by the vatican authorities to dispel
all doubt as to his condition, is mis-
leading. His age, and the general con-
dition Of his health make even the most
trifliug iudispOsition serious in his case
The frequent attacks OF Illness to which
the pope Is subject are very likely at any
time to develop slarmiugly without the
least warning. The pODtif'S present
break. down Is due to govt and general
rundown condition of the system.

to sn ofGci of the Pesry Arctic Club
The men have been hsmpered 10 their
enjoyment Of shore leave during the

believe that funds for paying of the

The Peary Club deny this aud state that
the men will be paid 10 full today. The
reason for the delay, they say, WAS that
The Roosevelt did not dock until Saiur-
