in eight years. It certainly is miracle,
but nowhere between the lids Of the
Bible can we find that the day of mir

the same, yesterday, to-day and forever
and he will supply the needs of his suf-

our unbelief, that prevents. We dare not
separate ourselves from human aid and

Thursday, $50 priests of the diocese and
a dense congregation packing the ca

In the address of welcome by Father
Harty, the speaker referred to the mag

hon undertook at the beginning of his
administration, of raising 100000 to
build the magnificent cathedral of st
Joseph. The bishops words 10 years
ago, "We have no money and we have
no debit" can now be supplemented with

prise at the splendid demonstration pre-
pared for him. "Sweet are the uses of
adversity;'' and so this welcome appear
ed to him doubly sweet after the afflic-
ton which made necessary his absence
from his flock. Almost the first words
which Pope Leo addressed the bishop on
his visit were to ask whether the cathe-
dral Of st Joseph was consecrated yet.
Bishop Mcmahon closed his words with
notice of the pope's especial blessing on
all who had helped to build the cathe-
dral.
The Courant says editorially: DIR Nc
Mahon would make great mistake, if
he were to think for a moment of his
Protestant neighbors and fellow towns

his Homecoming. They and he differ
honestly and earnestly, about many
things. Their loyalty to Plymouth

in him one of the forces in this commun.

Cardinal Manning's eloquent utter
ances have been powerfully guiding the
current of public thought. 1t is an inter-
esting photographed fact that the
cardinals attitude toward temperance
principles were only determined in his
57th year, by an interview with hum
BILE band of petitioners. Waiting upon
the cardinal, they very plainly and forei-

cause of vice, misery and crime in Eng

closures and early afterward declared
himself in league with the crusade of
abstinence, on behalf of which he has
since been unremittingly occupied.

method. The Babcock test stands fore
most among these tests and, by its SIM
plicity and accuracy, has gained the con-
fidence, not only of the many State ex-
pertinent stations where it is in constant
use, but it has been adopted by most of
the prominent creameries throughout the
country.
When farmers and dairymen learn that
creameries can and will pay for milk on
its merits, they are anxious to patronize
creameries that adopt the best plan.
They are learning that they can improve
the quality of their milk and thus in

a growing demand that payment shall be
made on the basis of actual value INSTEAD

patrons who can furnish per cent. milk
will not accept the same pay as those
who only show 3 per cent. Glover Farm
creamery, Redding, has adopted this
plan. This creamery has the reputation
of sending out the finest butter to be

receipt of orders far beyond its capacity

The Mt. Wilson Mining Co. own sever
al good claims, the Tam O'Shanter, Tew-

Pick and Silver Pick, all of which carry
ore in paying quality and of good aver
age grade. The ores are gold bearing,
occurring in anthony, galena, yellow
copper and lead carbonate. The Silver
Pick is the only claim owned by the COM
pany which has been worked to any ex-
tent, during this season. From the Sill
yer Pick, $50 tons of ore, running $3.50 to
$500 per ton, have been shipped since
July /. This is an excellent showing,
with an average force of five miners
working in the slopes. There is mis-
taken impression in regard to the size of
the Pick vein. Parties will tell you that
the pay streak constitutes the vein and
that it is from one to six inches in width
but our informant tells us that the vein
is from three and half to five feet in
width, with pay streak from three to 80
inches. Next year, the company will
put up tramway and mill. They will
also open up the Tam O'Shanter vein,
early next Spring. We predict that they
will ship 500 tons of 5000 ore, next Sum-
mer. Only small force is employed on

Cox & Curtis is new mercantile firm
Cox, Chester w. Curtis and w. E. Cox.
AS will readily be observed, this firm is
the successor to the we'll known Hayt &
Cox, W. A. Hayt having sold his interest
in the business, November /, to Chester
w. Curtis, retaining his interest in the
business plant consisting of realty and
mills. The firm of Hayt & Cox has for
some time felt the need of another active
member to enable it to properly handle
its large and increasing business; and it
is on this account that Mr. Hayt retires,
his other extensive and numerous inter-
ests not permitting him to engage ac-
lively in mercantile business. Mr. Hayt
retires with feeling of just pride in the
success of the firm, with which he has
been so long connected and wishing the
new firm every success. The new MEM
Der of the firm, Chester w. Curtis, is son
of William II. Curtis of this city and.
though comparative stranger here, his
credentials and connections are such as
to guarantee his business ability and
social standing, even if his appearance
and address were not sufficient of them
selves. Besides, the policy and methods
by which the old firm has succeeded so
we'll will be continued. The new firm
will, as did the old, buy exclusively for
spot cash and, with its extensive ac-
quaintance and excellent milling facili-
ties, will be enabled to sell goods at
very reasonable figures.-[ Riverside,

REPRES SENTATIVE BULKLEY'S POSITION

REPRESENTATIVE BULKLEY's POSITION.
The honest Republicans of this town
desire to thank you for your neat repri-
mand to the attack of the Hartford Post
upon Representative Buckley of this
town. When you say there must be ''no
clanking chains on opinions" you en-
dorse the views of the people of this place
who believe in freedom of thought and
courageous action based upon honest
judgment.
George Buckley has passed nearly all
his life in the borough of Southport. He
is a man of unusual ability and high Gull
tivation. He graduated from Yale col
lege in 1866, and has enjoyed the esteem,
respect and confidence of this whole COM
munity. His reputation among the peo-
pie of Fairfield county is that of an I'M
usually self contained, consistent, intelli-
gent and able man. He has never been
an office seeker and has usually declined
to accept preferment at the hands of his
fellow townsmen. He has always been
a staunch Republican, and no one in this
community who knows him would dare
to make the slightest insinuation against
his political or personal integrity. He
was nominated for Representative, last
Fall, because the Republicans knew he
could be elected, and it was done during
his absence from the town, and without
his knowledge that it was even contem-
plated. He did not spend dollar to Sc
cure his election, and the Republican
ticket received larger support than US
ual in this town, because Mr. Buckley was
a candidate for Representative.
There are 1000 Republicans in this COM
munity who accept his judgment upon
questions at issue in Hartford without
question, because it is his judgment.
Mr. Buckley has no political ambitions
and he has never sought to trade with
Democrats to secure an election or a
nomination for the speakership. He was
one of the committee that defended the
interests of the town in its long contest
with the railroad company, and he is
neither a railroad nor an anti-railroad
man. Nothing would have induced him
" SCCh poAltiCdl pIOAotlOu OE OlIlCo by
parading himself as an opponent of the
Consolidated railroad, nor would he have
conspired to secure political position in
the Legislature by attacking that copper
ation.-[C., Fairfield, November 20, 1891.
George Buckley entered Yale in Sep
TENDER, 1851, and was duly graduated in
1856. He entered at the early age of Is
and so is now 81 years old. From 1855
to 1867, after graduation. he studied in
the Yale Engineering school; and the
following two years he devoted to travel
and study. Subsequently for three years
(ls6O-1s63) he was engaged in business
in New York city. He is not married.
