The Horse Railroad and The
WorkiDgman,

Kelly says the workingmen of this city
will now have an opportunity to tell
which political party in our city govern
ment is the friend of the workingman.
The horse railroad in their desire to use
electricity as a motive power, are asking
the city to grant them concessions which
will add greatly to their already valuable
franchise. If these concessions are to be
granted to the railroad, then the people of
this city, and especially the workingmen,
should be entitled to concessions that
would be equally valuable to themselves.
One important concession should be that
the workin9man should secure a reduced
fare on week days to and from work. It
lies with the common council, which is
now republican, to secure the adoption of
this concession, and therefore the work
ingman may watch with interest the out
come.

MOTHER ST MARY RECALLED.

She Was One of the Four Madames
who Established Notre Dame Convent
in 1869.
Mother st Mary, who has been
madame superior of the convent of
Notre Dame for the past five years, has
been recalled to the mother house of the
order, Villa Maria, at Montreal, and left
Waterbury yesterday evening. The
late superior was one of the four
madames who came to Waterbury in
September, 1869, to form the convent of
Notre Dame, remaining here eight
years, after which she returned to the
mother house. In 1878, upon the
death of Mother st Mary, she was
placed in charge of the Waterbury con-
vent. She was an estimable, energetic
lady, who endeared herself to all who
had occasion to call upon her, and for
whom the affection of the madames and
pupils of the convent of Notre Dame
was deep and lasting. 1t is not known
who will succeed her, but the new
madame superior will arrive in few
days.

CONTRIBUTED

The news that the Rev Mother St
Mary, the superior of the convent Notre
Dame, has been called to another charge,
will cause much regret to the Catholic
people of this city. The reverend
mother left last evening for Montreal to
assume her new duties. She came here
in the summer of 1887, but did not act
that time she has proved herself a most
efficient director of the institution
Finding the needs of the school growing,
and the old convent inadequate to meet
the demand for moro spacious classes
and conveniences for the pupils, she
conceived the idea of having new con-
vent built. How we'll her plans and
ideas matured was seen when, on Sep
tenn Der 8, 1901, the present fine building
was formally opened and dedicated
Since then the school has been very sue
cessful. While this success depended in
large measure on the combined efforts
of all of the madames, Madame st Mary
certainly contributed greatly to it. Be-
sides bearing the responsibilities of a
superior, she also gave lessons in
French and on the harp to private
pupils, and religious instruction in
the first English class. These in
structiops will not soon be forgotten.
Here, Madame st Mary prepared her
AOA OhS SAChO
life, and as each one goes her way, if
she lives up to the teachings given in
those morning hours by the woman all
know to be a thoroughly religious and,
therefore, an exemplary christian, the
final goal to which she directed all
will be reached by each and every one,
even though the means for attaining it
differ for each individual, as aptitudes
and capabilities differ. The pupils will
remember her with the kindliest of
feelings, for not only was she interested
in those under her immediate direction,
but the old pupils were always sure of a
kind word of advice, commentator or
sympathy from Madame st Mary when
ever they called at the convent. Not
only pupils will regret Madame st
Mary's departure, but also the people of
Waterbury, who have substantially
shown the appreciation of her work by
sending their children in large num-
bers to her excellent school. All unite
in wishing the reverend mother the
greatest possible success in her new
mission, and hope that she will enter
tain only pleasant memories of the days
she spent in Waterbury. The new
superior is not yet named.

who formerly worked for Neatly, was active
in the prosecution. Neatly claimed that it
was conspiracy against him. Both the
state and defense objected to the courts
proceeding; the former to the awarding of

discharged the jury without allowing
them to bring in verdict. Both excep-
tons we're allowed

der. Two different offenses are charged
and the plaintiff thinks he was injured
TO the extent OF 5000 in each case. The
