JUDGE REED DECIDES
 HEREDiTY LAW CASE
Settles Ownership of BidwsII Hotel
 Property at South Coventry.

The first hereditary law suit to be tried in the superior court in Holland county was recently settled by Judge Joel H. Reed who tried the case dur ing the April term of the Holland county superior court
 In the opinion of many lawyers. this was the first hereditary law case to be tried in the state for number of years.
 The suit was brought to determine the ownership of the Bidwell Hotel property in South Coventry. The claimant was Addie I. Ames, executrix of the estate of Lydia Joslin of Gov entry and Providence. The plaintiff claimed to own the property by pur- chase from Sarah BidwelI, in 1881,
 mother of Charles P. Bidwell of Gov entry, the first husband of Mrs. Jos lin who owned the property. and at lhe time of death left no children. no brothers or sisters, but a wife, a mother, Sarah, and two patefnal aunts Jane Fitch, grandmother of c. N. Fitch of Rockville. and E. C. Win chester of New London who Is con servator for Mary Clark Of Windham, the daughter of Amelia Clark Win chester.
 C. N. Fitch claimed one-half inter est 1fOHl HIS SIdHd dHlOIIl6I dilu tNAdI ' | Clark claimed one-half interest from her mother The base of the Joslin claim was that she bought her moth CTS interest in the property. Tie pro- hate court of Coventry gave her the l life use of the property and it was her claim that she now owns the property by purchase.
 The defendants claimed that on the death of Charles Bidwell his mother didn't have any claim to the property
 but that it went to the two paternal
 aunts. Judge Reed decided this to
 he the true fact in the case and gave 1 judgment in favor Of c. N. Fitch and
 Mary Clark.
 The lawyer for the plaintiT was Thomas T. Kelley of Wiilimantic and

earning just enough to be gayly, bravely,
piteously poor. They are the heart and

"0h, there's the greatest story ever
unwritten. The lives of the city's almost
poor"
The first part Of this story is realistic
and convincing, but not so the latter part.
The plot, we might say, is "halfvay
poor" One can accept it as possible, even
probable, that Eve would >adapt herself
to her changed environment as she does,
despite her struggles with housekeeping.
She is real when she is buying a twelve
pound roast for two because the butcher
tells her it is the usual size, and throwing
it into the garbage pail after one meal
because she doesn't know it could be util-
lied afterward. She is actual when she
buys fourteen dozen eggs at once because
she has read somewhere that groceries
come cheaper if bought in large quantities,
and when she struggles TO consume the
eggs to keep them from being wasted.
But 1t is difficult to believe that a
young woman and unframed girl, with no
education save that gained at fashiona-
BILE finishing school and with so little ex-
perience in life, could make such flying
leap into literature as Eve is represented
as making. No, really, that isn't plau
sible!
Nor will readers give credence-except
those who are most credulous-to Mr..
Terhune's attempt to make them believe
that any one would deliberately throw
away 81 100000. No one outside an in
stitution for the feeble minded would do
that. Such insensate waste is annoying
at a time when most readers are halfway
poor and economizing on roast beef and
eggs to buy Liberty bonds.

"The Boomerang"

what could be more fitting than such
man should review the novel David Gray
has made out of the. thoroughly super
fetal comedy produced by David Belaseo
two seasons ago?
Coming thus fresh TO Mr.. Gray's tale
the pages make for a certain effect of
smart, slangy dialogue, charming en-
vironment in a New England village
among prosperous, mice Americans, and
an element of mystery as to the identity
of Virginia Xelva that is very well sus-
tanned until almost the last page. Nat
urally there is an overabundance of "talk"
in the story the eyentful result of which
