Dec. 12. Joseph Wldener of Ashbourne, a son of P. A. B.

Wldener, was a defendant in the Montgomery County Court to-day tn a brought by Samuel Styer, a coal shipper of Ambler, to recover part of the money paid for a pair of blue ribbon winning horses. According to the testimony, Johh Lyons, a groom for Mr. Wldener. who sold the horses, with uncovered head said: I warrant those horses to be Just as I tell you. with the exception of the curb, and I hope the Lord will strike ma dead If what I tell you Is not true." Two months after he purchased the span for $1,000.

Mr. Styer. who alleges that he was cheated sold them fnr 'nv he sues to recover the difference. Accord- lng to the testimony for th plaintiff this is what Mr. Styer found the matter with the blue ribbon winners: They had double tumors In the neck, cracked hoofs, sore shoulders, short wind, and poor action from sore feet." Mr.

Styer, to support his ekilm, brought with him horsemen In the vicinity of his home at Ambler. Their attention had been attracted to the horses by the report that Sam Styer had a pair of blue rib-boners" Some ff those who had seen the span S. animals would hardly take a rag off a bush for condition. Lyons, the groom, testified that It any one came to buy horses It was my rule not to make any representations, as It was the privilege of every buyer to bring a doctor and examine before purchasing." Other stablemen testified that th horses, one of which had been a blue ribbon, winner at the Philadelphia Horse Show, were In good condition on leaving Mr. Wldener possession.

Roosevelt Will Attend Haensel und Gretel." I COMPOSER AT WHITE HOUSE And After Herr Humperdinck's Call a Special Performance It Arranged to i 8ult Mr. Roosevelt's Convenience. Because of the interest shown by President and Mrs. Roosevelt in Engelbert Humperdinck's opera, Haensel und Gretel," it has been possible tor arrangements to be made within the last few days for a special performance of the fairy opera at the Metropolitan Opera House to be at tended by the President and his family. The performance will be given for the benefit of the Legal! Aid Society.

The performance will take place on March 15. a date set by Mrs. Roosevelt as one on which she could get awsy from her social duties In Washington, i She will present with her children. 1 and the President has said that he will not let anything except a National emergency hold him In Washington. The tntereat of Mr.

and Mrs. Roosevelt first became evident when Herr Humperdinck was on his recent tour throughout the East. When he visited Washington he was Invited by the President to visit the White House. He was surprised to find that Mr. Roosevelt had a close acquaintance with his work, and was prepared to discuss it and its relation to German literature.

Mr. Roosevelt complimented the composer, and said that, aa he had not outgrown hla liking for the things of childhood, he would be more Interested in hearing Haensel und Gretel than any opera to be given at the Metropolitan. He regretted, however, that he would be unable to leave the capital during the session of Congress. Mrs. Roosevelt showed even greater Interest in the work.

She took Frau Humperdinck aside and had a long conversation with her about the composer and his work. She said that she wanted to see Haensel und Gretel more than anything else. I was always fond of fairy stories." she told the visitor. "When I was a little girl I wanted to hear these stories first of all, and when I grew so that I could read. I read ail the fairy books over and over again.

If I was naughty and wouldn't get my lessons or comb my hair, then they would take my 1 fairy books from me, and that was the greatest punishment I could have. 1 haven't outgrown my love for the fairies yet, and would like to see this fairy opera." Frau Humperdinck thought It somewhat strange that the American capital should be the one place where It was not possible- to-enjoy the best of" That it should be the wife of the President of the Nation who was unable to hear what she pleased. She expressed the hope, that some way would be found to gratify her desire. After the return of Herr Humperdinck to New York he expressed regret that the President could not hear the opera. Arthur Von Briesen was one of those to whom he spoke.

Mr. Von Briesen is the President of the Legal Aid Society. He had been contemplating soma sort of benefit In order to raise funds for the support of the society, which has extended its work so far that it Is In great need of money. Mr. Roosevelt Is a Vice President of th society, having become Interested In its work last Spring.

Mr. Von Briesen took up the subject with him quickly and asked if It would not be possible for him to leave Washington for a brief time In con- nctlon dutle toward the society. ine i-resiaent tnougnt mat would be a good reason, and so the matter was taken up with the management of the Metropolitan and Herr Humperdinck. It was found that the regular opera company would appear, under the circumstances, and the President was asked to set a day when he could be present. He left that to Mrs.

Roosevelt, and she determined that on March 15 she would be able to leave society at the capital to conduct Its own affairs. Th President expressed a desire for a full score of Haensel und Gretel," and yesterday a handsomely bound on was sent to him by Joseph Muetter of this city, to whom It was Intrusted by Herr Humperdinck. In it the composer wrote: To Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, in thankful remembrance of the amiable reception at the White House on Dec. 6, and sincere admiration." KOREA REPUDIATES TREATY.
