The parishioners of the Sacred Heart
church will be grieved to learn of the
sudden death of Father Reisdorf, one of
the priests who conducted the mission
held at the church year ago. He died
at the st Vincent Ferrer's Dominican
retreat, New York, Monday night and
was buried yesterday. Father Reisdorf
was one of the most popular priests of
the Dominican order, and in his death
the order loses one of the most valued
of its members and the Catholic church
one OF the most Jealous workers in its
cause. Father Rush, who had charge
of the mission here, died several months
ago.
The residents of the city will do we'll
to hereafter look after the fastenings of
their second story windows, etc, as the
adjacent towns are now infested with a
class OF petty burglars known as
second story workers." who effect an
entrance into houses and manage to get
away with considerable plumber. The
cities of Bridgeport, Hartford, Middle
town, Meriden and other smaller places
have all been operated by this gang.
The thieves gain access to houses BY
climbing up verandas, grape arbors, etc,
to the second story of houses, and then
raising a window, let themselves into
the house and, securing whatever arti-
Giles of value they can lay their hands
on, make their escape in the same
manner.

The quality of the paper used in the
new postal cards is superior to that used
in the old cards, it being special quail
ity made for this purpose in Holyoke,
Mass, while that used in the old cards
was made in Birmingham. The color of |
the new card is also much better than |
that of the old, it being a light amber
color, and better to write upon, the ink |
not spreading as it did on the old card. |
The heading of the new card also differs
from that of the old, the old
style having the words Omitted States
Postal Card" printed in a semi-circle,
with a vignette of Thomas Jefferson
printed on it. The new card has the
words Postal Card. One Cent. United
States of America" with a finelv-exe-
cuted vignette of General Grant printed
directly across the top of the card.
