The board of education has unanimously appointed you principal of the Blow school. Signed, C. G. Rathmann, Asst. Supt. ¥t is understood that the school is one of the best in St. Louis and that the salary for the first year is $3,500, with fine prospects for advancement Mr. Maddox is a young man w has won a warm place in the hearts of the citizens of the city of Willi- mantic during his nearly three years stay here. He has been associated with many different activities and has done much to advance the interests of edu- cation by his efforts and application to his duties.

The Whalers took a game from Dunn's Colis on Windham field Wed- ay afternoon before an enthusi- > cfowd of a 300 with the as- nce of Umpire Liggins, who was dedly on the blink at times The piay of both nines was very fair de from a couple of innings when costly errors proved bad. Wallace was poorly supported early in the game and toward the last seemed to go to pieces himself, as the isiting bats- men got six clean hits off him in the eleventh sion, which coupled with two bad errors proved his Waterloo and ended all of Willimantic's hopes. Up to that fatal inning Wallace had the batsmen well under control, allow- ing but five scattered hits, two in the econd, two in the fourth and one in the temth. Phillips pitched well but O'Mara drove the ball over the center field fence with two on bases and w only allowed two bases by Ump Lig- gins, although the hit was a homer according to ground rul and the game would have been won for W. mantic in that inning, the third, as three runs would have counted. Features of the game were the fast ng of SulMvan in left fleld for tmantic, Burns’ work at secona for ew’ T.ondon and Nasher's. Reiger’s, Nealon's and Campion’s hitting. Shaun Suliivan also caught the crowd when he slid home on James Nichols’ out at first after he had driven a fast deep one to Nasher at short. The tabulated score depicts the game that was hard to lose in detail. Willimantio.

It was rumored that he was drowned in the river, but that has practically been disproved as it has been learned that a sum of money, a dollar and some change, was missed from his home when a search was made for some trace of the lad. It is thought that the youngster took the money and has left town. He has attended St. Joseph’s parochial school and thé Mother Superior reports to the authorities that he has not been there since Tuesday forenoon.

Judge Burpee’s Decision Favers Claim of Milferd™Woman to $12,000 Estate. ‘Winnie Miller, who lives in an estate somewhat in excess of $12 000 in value, if a decision filed b Judge "Burpee in the superior court is not upset by the supreme court, where, it-is believed, ths case will be taken by the other imants. Mrs. Miller, however. has won an import- ant point in the case under Judge Bur- pee’s decision. Mrs. Mary M. Burnham, a resident of Seuth Windsor, died there in 1889. | Some years before she died she exe- cuted a will, and in the will she created a trust estate for the benefit of her son, Roland F. Burnham. The will provided that on the death of Roland the estate remaining should go to his “lawful” child or children, Mr. Burn- ham never had any children born to him, but several years ago, when Mrs. Miller was a child, he took her in legal adoption. Mr. Burnham died early this year and then it came time to dis- tribue the estate in which he had a life interest. There were no relatives of Mr. Burn- ham on his father’s side, but on his mother's side there were three of her nieces and one nephew living. The nephew was Edwin C. Hale of East Hartford, and the nieces were Mrs. Effie A. Mix of Bridgeport, Edith A. Northrop of Lynn Mass. and Mrs. Emma A. Reeves of New Haven. They made claim for the estate. Mrs. Miller also made claim, and she filed an an- swer setting up that she was the “legal” child of Mr. Burnham, and as such she was entitled to the whole of the estate. The other claimants conceded that Mrs. Miller was the “legal” child. but she was not the “lawful” child as the word was used in the will, and that consequently she could not share in the estate. Judge Purpee says: “The first reasgn of demurrer is that an adopted child is mot a ‘lawful’ | child” within the meaning of the will under consideration. The statute re- lating to adoption uses the words ‘legal child, but I think the terms should be regarded as synonymous. Moreover, the statute provides that the person adopting the child ‘shall become its legal parent, with all the rights and duties between them of a legitimate parent and child.’+ The testatrix e dently intended to designate any per- son that the jJaw would recognize as the child of her son. * * Defend- ant claims, and it would bhe enough for her to state that by reason of adop- tion she became the legal child of the testatrix’s son. 1 think she does so sufficiently for the purpose of plead- ing. What may happen when she at- tempts to prove this allegation is quite another matte: Supt. Parish Gone to Colorado. John H.
