Send postal card with your full address. There was something like a. circus in ihe Butler street court to day. It was an early tnorning performance beginning at si o'clock and a large audience was present. Xo "White Rats' participated, but goats, and tirst premium goats at that.

Four goats and a yellow kid were the stars of the occasion, ami ii was thought at first that some Brooklyn brewers had engaged the entire troupe for the purpose of announcing the advent of the bock period. The goats were of various sizes and ages, but none of them in the strict sense of the term could be called venerable. Two were gray and black, wo were black and the yellow kid was thrown in in order to satisfy certain critics of the day and so that there might be plenty of ginger to the proceedings. One of the goats had a wicked gleam In his eve and a tomato can appetite. There was a dispute regarding the ownership and hence their appearance' in the usually sedate confiines the Butler street court.

The trouble was over a black nanny and a whitish gray goat. Peter Castaino of 102 Fortieth street, had caused John O'Toole. who lives at 491 Third street, and who. it is paid, works for a man named Mclnerney. to appear in court on a summons.

Court Officer James Gilchrist, who is known as the Adonis of the South Brooklyn police force, had acted master of ceremonies in coralling the goats and in getting them to court. Two of the menagerie discovered that they hadn't had any breakfast and came near eating up In their search for miscellany, a part of Chief Clerk Cornelius J. Teehan's daily records and before the case was called by Magistrate Bristow Court Officer Fagan went and carefully closed all of the windows, so that the wind should not blow through the "Beards of some of the parties at Issue. One of the goats was capricious in making his appearance before the bar and the yellow kid, like Artemus Ward's description of the kangaroo, belonging to his great moral show, was "an amoozing little cuss." He had a versatile disposition and appeared to be unmindful of the fact that the neighborhood of Gowanus had been shaken to its very center by a question concerning the rights of property. The audience were evenly divided in their sympathies.

Some seemed to feel that lower Gowanus was putting on airs and others that Goatville's very independence as a distinct community rested on the judge's decision. All at once Magistrate Bristow called out Castaino vs. John O'Toole. Then he asked somewhat inquisitively: "Is this the goa; case and he inquired impressively, "Where are the goats?" "Here, your honor," replied Court Officer Gilchrist, and the magistrate reached over the bench and eyed the four legged parties to the litigation. A well kn: vn lawyer, who appeared for the complainant, informed the court that one of the goats was valued at $15 and the other at $5.

Castaino told how he had owned the goats tor a long time and O'Toole explained how JfAey wisji He. ha bought them of Alexis McDonnell, a horse shoer in Thirty ninth street. "What's his business, stealing goats, eh?" asked Magistrate Bristow, derisively, and "Why isn't he here?" "Please your honor, he's dead, sir." quick lv answered the witness. "All hands dead?" inquisitively persisted the magistrate. The man who was charged wit purloining the goats kindly offered to allow the court to search his premises for any contraband live stock that could be found.

"Oh, your honor, the place is full of them." answered one of the parties at litigation. 'We have been afraid that the rural legislators at Albany might tax the goats instead of mortgages. We draw the line, your honor, at goats every time." "Castaino. you had better replevin the goats. Your remedy is in civil procedure." said Magistrate Bristow.

"The case is dismissed." Then the audience dispersed as the goats and the yellow kid galloped out of court. The reason given for bringing the kid to court was in order that it might identify its parent. As one of the interested parties said: "It's a poor kid that doesn't know its own mother."

The time for the performance of the religious exercises of the jubliee has been fixed by Bishop McDonnell from to morrow until September 3 of this year, which is just six months.

Those making the jubliee are also obliged to go to confession and receive holy communion. A plenary indulgence is extended to all the faithful complying with these regulations. The Bishop's letter is, in part, as follows: "As regards in particular the visits to be made for the jubilee it is to be noted. 1 In places where four churches are named, at least one visit is to be made in the day to each of the four churches: where two churches are named, two visits are to be made in tbe day to each church and where one church is named, four visits are to be made in the day to that, church: 2 That these visits are to be repeated daily for fifteen days; 3 that they may be made either on the natural day, that is.

"As the churches to be visited for the jubilee I hereby name and appoint, with the special sanction of the Holy See, within the limits of the first twenty eight wards of the Borough of Brooklyn, that is, of the City of Brooklyn, as it existed prior to the annexation of the county towns, as such jubilee churches, in addition to the pro Cathedral of St. James, the Churches of the Assumption, of St. Boniface, of Our Lady of Mercy, of.

"The desire of the holy father that all his children may share in the blessings of the jubilee is made further manifest in these closing provisions of his letter. In which he takes into consideration even the passing good will of the fickle and faint hearted among them: 'Moreover, if any persons, after beginning the prescribed works with the intention of gaining the jubilee, are stricken with illness and cannot therefore complete the appointed number of visits, we.

Belle Devlin Declares That She Has Been Deceived by Benjamin J. Hill. HE HAS A WIFE IN BROOKLYN. Churchman and Tea Merchant Said to Have Supported Mrs. Devlin in luxury.

Mrs. Belle Devlin, who lives at the Hotel Andrews, 362 Bedford avenue, says her life has been ruined because of her alleged trust in both the pious and loving provisions of Benjamin J. Hill, a well to do Brooklyn tea merchant and church man. of 213 Grand street. Mrs.

Devlin says that fer ten years she has been supported and ltept in comparative luxury by Hill under promise of marriage, and that during all that time Hill concealed from her the fact that he had a wife with whom he lived. Mrs. Devlin intimates that she will proceed at once against Hill, though she will not say what will be the form of action. The alleged double life of Merchant Hill was disclosed yesterday morning, when Mrs. Devlin called to see him at his home, and, after a lively row with Mrs.

J. Hill, in which both parties were assaulted by the other, according to their claims, was arrested by ten policemen and escorted to the Manhattan avenue police court. There Mrs. Devlin told Magistrate Lemon the story of her life. It is an interesting story.

She charges that twelve years ago she met Hill, who was introduced by her brother. She was newly widowed at that time. For two years, she says, Hill courted her assiduously. 'He told me he had been deceived by his wife, who had coaxed him to marry her against, his better judgment, and that be had ecured a divorce, and she had remarried aud was living in Canada. "At that time I lived in Hackensack, and my daughters were young the one 5 years old and the other a mere baby.

He induced me to leave my home and move to Brooklyn, saying that he then would be nearer to me and that we would soon be married, anyway. Here he came daily to see mo, always advising me as to matters of conscience and admonishing me to attend to church affairs. I had every faith in birn. He was good to me and to my daughters. He took us to New burg for one summer; another summer he sent us to Clifton Springs, aud he went with me to Florida and to Chicago.

He saw that my daughters were educated and sent one of them to the Drexel School in Philadelphia. "In time there was not a day that I did not eee him. and he was so devoted that even, when I saw him late at night the first mail in the morning brought me a letter from him; and, if I saw him in the morning by the last mail that night he would be sure to send me a letter. "We moved from place to place during the ten years and he often introduced me as his wife. At other times he Introduced me his intended wife.

"It was last Thanksgiving Dav that I heard by accident from a servant that he had a wife living. I told him what I had heard and he admitted the truth, but said he had been 'roped' into marrying her, that she had deceived him. and that by the fall he expected to get a divorce from her, and that then we two would get married. I became sus picious of him then, but the feeling wore off as he continued in his church work. I trusted him fully, and Christmas Day invited him to the home of my parents.

He spent the day with us, giving each one a present, for myself a diamond brooch." Mrs. Devlin says that Hill usually deposited from $200 to $300 a month in a certain bank, for her support. She spent as much as she liked. She moved to the Andrews Hotel, the best in the Eastern District, about two months ago. This is close to Hill's home at 213 Grand street.

She called on Hill and met the wife. There were exciting times. Remarks were made on both sides. Mrs. Devlin was Informed that she couldn't see Mr.

Hill. She went home, waited two weeks, then wrote a note saying she must see Hill at any cost. The next she hoard from her note was when Captain Martin Short of that precinct called on her and advised her to stay away from Hill. But she went to Hill's again Of this visit she says: "I called at the Hills' home and was directed by a saleswoman to the stairway leading to the living apartments. I had "Balloting for County Council Candidates Appeal to Voters on National Party Lines.

London. March Londoners are balloting to day for members of the County Council, which Is to govern the town for three years. 'Fifty four councillors are being elected. Four have already been chosen. For the first time in the history nf recent local' politics most of the candidates are appealing to the voters on national party lines.

khaki issue is put to toe front and appeals are made to the voters to have no pro Boer council. London's majority, naturally, is "Unionist, but it Includes most the West End element, which is not as active in local politics as the East Enders and labor organizations. The Progressive or Liberal programme includes model houses for London's poor, and municipal control of the water supply, street car lines, markets and docks, cow In the hands of corporations. The music hall proprietors are actively participating in the contest. They aver that the Progressive candidates propose to deprive the halls of liquor licenses, on the line of the agitation of Mrs.

Ormiston Chant (who. some years ago. headed a purity crusade against the Empire and other music halls), thus robbing them of one of their chief attractions. The hall managers have held mass meetings, the variety artists have been enlisted In Ihe electioneering work, and carriages were furnished to take the voters to the polls. Winston Spencer Churchill was badly heckled at a moderate meeting yesterday evening.

He told a story making fun of the Irish, whereupon a workman mounted to the platform and made a speech, saying: "We came here to talk of municipal affairs. Why insult the nation of Irishmen?" The workman's speech was cheered. In connection with the government of London, an American traveler in the March issue of the Nineteenth Century. contrasts the seemingly boundless wealth of Belgravia with the "abysmal degradation, misery and hopelessness" of the Bast End.
