This particular housekeeper
was leaving town to make hes

where her new employers,

Never until last Friday morning had the United States Circuit court
 sat in this city Judge George C. Holt
 of New York, who spends his sum- mers in Woodstock, was on the bench.
 By special request of attorneys he con sented to hear matters of importance in the case ot the bankrupt Sachs Company of Hartford.
 This company had manufactured electrical fuses and becoming bank rupt the trustee had sold these fuses to another company and they had been delivered. The defunct company had
 been enjoined from selling these fuses
 as they contained device which the
 Crocker Wheeler Company had pat ent on. This company prayed that the contract be set aside as 1t was H.
 legal the trustee having only such title
 as the company had and as there was an order of court restraining the con- pany from selling this product the trustee was likewise restrained by the Sttilt otucfs touuNii ioi tiuStSS claimed that the injunction did not af- feet the trustee as he was not party to the previous action. They also claimed that the parties to the con. tract of sale were innocent parties hav-
 ing no Knowledge of the injunction
 and further claimed that the patent
 only applied to certain wire connee-
 ton and that the vendee had no inten- tion of using this wire.
 The petitioner claimed that the | trustee had no right to sell and that a patented article made of assembled parts became a whole and could not thereafter be separated. No evidence
 was offered, the attorneys being allow
 ed to argue on assumption of facts for
 which they could subsequently, SUD- init aflidaNits.
 After hearing all tbe counsel Judge Holt set aside the contract and ordered I thgt the fuses be returned to the trus-
 tee and the Johns-Pratt Company and the Crocker Wheeler Company be giv

You have heard of Dog circuses, pony circuses and such but did you ever hear of bird circus. We guess not. Well there is such thing and 1t if hummer. Lamonte Bird circus thatiis showing at the Park theatre this week is a revelation in the possibi- lity of training birds The birds in this wonderful circus dance, turn somer- saults, do hurdle racing perform on horizontal bars. You have often heard said that a little bird told It. Well there are several little birds in this flock that will tell you things. The audience is allowed to ask questions and the birds will answer. Then there is an exciting fire scene. Bird hremen rescue other birds from the flames go- ing the whole thing from ringing the hell to the all.out. This seems more like a fish story than a bird story but it Is true and you can see 1t all your self by trip 10 the park There gre several other good acts that i'll out the performanee.

Broke into Lunch Cart

In the early hours of Tuesday morn ing some person or persons broke into the lunch cart of r. E. Franklin in Manhattan square. They gained en- trance by wrenehing the screen door from it's hinges and pulling out clasp on the door of the cart. As far as could be learned nothing was taken but some cigars, although some food might have been eaten.
 The cart is kept open for business until between midnight and l o'clock and everything was left as usual. When the man who opens up in the morning arrived he found the door partly open. The money drawer had been tempered with but there was nothing there as the cash was taken home by the proprietor.

Bradley TheAter
THREE TWINS

The Three Twins comes to the Brad lev theatre for an engagement Mon day night, Aug. 2S, and IS a thorough ly up. te. date musical comedy, full or fun and entertainment, spectacular and musical; entirely innocent and thoroughly enjoyable. The plot, and there Is one, Is merely a string of non sense on which to hang a series of songs, dances, tahleauN and other stage effects, all of them novelties and beautiful,
 The fun grows out Of the mtN-ups and complications resulting from the appearance at a summer hotel of three young men, who so resemble each other in feature, dress and voice, that no one, not even the wife of one, the sweetheart of another and the father of the third, can tell them apart. But this is only incidental to the'musie and dancing. Here arises a series of complications thatlkeep the audience in a constant roar of laughter. While the fun making is at its height, ad- vantage is taken Of the opportunity lo dazzle the laughteT-eonvulsed audience with some of the cleverest and most beautiful mechanical electrical effects ever seen on any stage.
