At the outset Mr.. Parker lays down
the proposition that

assertion that Republican hostility TO

falls to the ground.

At the New Haven hospital, yesterday, it was stated that there was only one slight chance of his recovery. Charles F. Pierson, who mysteriously disappeared from Ridgefield last month, has been heard from. The English au- thorities inform his wife that he arrived in Liverpool two weeks ago out of his mind. Papers on his person identified him and he Is now in an insane retreat awaiting orders from his friends in America. Pierson received severe in juries about the head several months ago.
 George D. Palmer, while drawing a load of wood in the town of Torrington, Friday, slipped and fell. and the heavily loaded wood sled passed over his body. His injuries, which are internal, are very serious.

NorRE DANES NEW CONVENT. Corner stone Laid With Impressive
 Ceremonies.

Yesterday afternoon the corner stone of the new convent of Notre Dame was laid with impressive ceremonies by Right Rev Bishop McMahon, assisted by many clergymen. The day was far from pleasant, and yet the exercises were witnessed by large numbers, the spacious grounds being crowded for an hour before the stone was laid. Bishop McMahon was assisted by Father Dug gan, of St Patrick's church, as deacon :; Father Bourret, St Ann's, b-deacon {; Father O'Donnell, Immaculate Concep- tion, master of ceremonies. The Rev Fathers Harty of Hartford, Pagan of Fleming of this city, also assisted. The spot where the altar will stand was first blessed, after a procession around the walls by the altar boys with cross, acolytes, holy water and censer, the clergy and lastly Right Rev Bishop McMahon. After this ceremony the procession returned to the location of the corner stone. This was blessed and then the bishop with a handsome silver trowel spread some mortar on the bed prepared for the stone. The master builder finished the work. The litany of the saints was then chanted and the procession again made the circuit of the walls, the bishop blessing them as he passed. On coming again to the corner stone the "N enl, Creator was Chanted and the stone and editice finally blessed. Father Mulcahy then read the parch- ment which is to be encased in the stone and which recites the auspices under which the building is erected, the national, state and city officers, etc. The ceremony closed by the bishop giving the Episcopal benediction. The procession then returned to the grand hall, where the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was celebrated.
 At the conclusion of the devotions the pupils of the convent rendered a recep ton to the bishop, the exercises being commemorative of the work of Margare Courageous, the foundress of the order o Notre Dame, Sunday being the 23StE anniversary of her journey from Paris to Cadada where she established tho order. At the close of the reception Bishop McMahon delivered an appropri ate and pleasing address in which ht eulogized the venerable foundress of tht order, and added that he felt specia interest in the Waterbury institution which was founded by his bosom friend the late Bishop Hendricken the new convent will be a lasting ornament to tn, city, and that the clergy and peopl, should feel it pleasure as we'll as duty to help the sisters in their under taking.

A SUCCESSFUL SCHEME.
The Theater Hat Again-A Put-Up Job
 on the Ladies.

The Theater Hat Again-A Put-Up Joh
 on the Ladies.
 The>theater was crowded. The cur tain had just risen. Jewels flashed, gay plumes on wondrous headdresses fiut- tered in the heated air, costly fans waved slowly to and fro and the fash ionable audience turned it's eyes and opera-glasses toward the stage and set tied into the hush of expectation that proceeds the opening of the play when the experienced stage-manager has waited considerably for all the late corners to be seated before the bell taps for the curtain to rise.
 In a conspicuous location about half. way between the orchestra and the front seats of the parquet circle were three ladies who had come in unat- tended about five minutes before. They were noticeable for the wide. fiaring, umbrageous hats they wore. Directly behind them sat nervous-loolx- ing despairing man who was making wild but fruitless efforts to see the stage. The wide hats with their wealth of tropical bird foliage hid every thing he wanted to see from his view. In vain he wrig> gled and squirmed and craned his neck from side to side. The hats were toe large, too close together, and too richly i upholstered. Apparently unconscious f that he was attracting the attention of ! every body in the neighborhood and 1 bringing the ladies in front of him into 1 unpleasant prominence, he persevered 1 till sounds of ill-suppressed laughter l were heard on all sides of him. Then he settled himself back in his chair i with a world-weary sigh, but the next ! moment took advantage of the Hull in i the performance on the stage to lean forward and address one of the ladies' i the one who sat in the middle.
 Madam" he said in loud whisper, 'I beg pardon, but it is utterly impos- sible for me to see through your hat, and the Lord made me too small to see over it. If you will kindly remove it you will make a wretched man happy for whole evening""
 The forty or fifty persons who were looking on saw the lady remove her hat at once, turn around, and smilingly beg his pardon. They saw the other two ladies take off their hats also, and the example became instantly contagious. Ten or a dozen other enormous hats came off within the next half minute. much to the rellS1 CI the sufferers dl- rectly behind them. Then the star oi the evening stepped on the stage, and the attention of the audience was at tractcd to the performance again.
 The details of this pleasing little in. cident are given in full for the purpose of explaining to those who witnessed it that the whole affair was put-up job

 Dear SIT Will you kindly give space in your columns to the following and oblige an actor in hard luck:
 MT Samuel c. Young, star of the Merry Mandarin" company, has left his people stranded in Waterbury with out paying their hotel bill, after doing a fair business. It seems that the young Waterbury lady who was instrumental i'll securing the engagement here, was liable, to use Mir Ioung's words, ''To be hit in the jaw" Nice language for the star of a company. Through the cour- tesy of MT A. Esinhart of the Earle house, the unfortunate people were able to bridge the difficulty. I stand ready to substantiate any and all statements made here.

 The Bennett & Moulton comic opera company will open a weeks engagement at the opera house tonight, with "Boc- caccio' one of their prettiest operas. The company this season is stronger than ever and there are many new faces in the cast. There has been a large ad- vance sale of tickets and without doubt every seat will be occupied thls evening. Said the Scranton Times: Miss Ethel Vincent proved a most charming at traction and made hit on her first ap- pearance as 'Boccaccio.' Her voice is sweet and enchanting, and her frivolity and cupidity delicious. She is backed up with a decidedly strong chorus, and an active and aggressive pair of come dians. William Wolff as 'Lambertuccio' was decidedly rich in his droll humor, while Arthur Wooley made most de cided hit as 'LOtterInghi, the cooper. | Casino Theatre.

NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL.

The Demand For Trained Teachers
 Greater Than the Supply.
 The annual catalogue of the state nor nal training school at Willlmantic, just issued by Secretary Hine of the state board of education, shows the present number of pupils to be seventy. repre- senting twenty-four towns. The nor nal training school can not supply the demand for trained teachers. Many towns and districts Tn the state employ only trained teachers, so far as this is possible. Of 300 who have graduated from the New Britain school since September, 1883, about 275 are at pres ent teaching. None of these graduates have ever left teaching to enter other occupations. There is ample encour- agement for college graduates and others of liberal education to prepare themselves for teaching by course in the training school.
