WILL REMAIN A CATHOLIC.
Reasons Why Sister Celesta of HartGOl
 Left the Convent.

Reasons Why Sister Celesta of Hartford
 Left the Convent.
 The stories going the rounds of the press in relation to Sister Celesta, who has left St Joseph's convent in Hart. ford, are misleading. The Hartford Times says:
 For several years past Miss Wilcox has had some trouble with one of her eyes, which has affected her general health to some extent; and it was thought best by her family and friends, in and out of the church, that a suspen- sion of her duties for a vacation, after fifteen years of excessive service, would be beneficial to her. The newspaper articles intimate that she has renounced her religious views, which misrepre- sents the facts, as she is still devout Catholic and in perfect accord with the church and its authorities.
 The statement that she intends to join some musical organization was made by some person who knows nothing of her or her intentions. Her first effort will be to regaIn her health by resting quietly with her friends; after which she may resume her position in the school that she has so long occupied, or pursue some other course, as she may deem best for her health and interest.

sale.
 The agent who did the business in- formed us that he, short time ago sold 8 property worth more than the one in question for e150 on account of a tax claim being upon it. Please note this fact, the tax was paid every year at the regu. lar time and yet the old lady was not notified of the existance of a claim against the property other than the one she paid each year in view of the above facts.
 Would it be regarded egotistical on my part if should suggest that de- partment could be created called the live department, the business of which would be to take all the taxes missed for one or more years, and bring them to life by finding the address of the de linquepts by the best known means, re port and turn over all funds to the regular collector, with the expense oi collecting included, which should bC charged to the delinquents, and would at once be means by which the statC would get it's dues and the people save their property from the hands of un principled men. Until some such relic is given the victims of the wrecker and the imperfect tax laws will in thei distress exclaim in tones of anguish "New York, change the law, chang the law"
 Very respectfully yours, | DENNIS H. TIERNEY.

Down With Butter.

KELLY again comes forward as the friend of the consumer. He has done his part in bringing down prices on bread, flour, eggs and sugar and now he is going to bring the butter market to a point where the poor as well as the rich can buy the famous Vermont Print Butter" and Elgin Creamery. Owing to the large quantity of hay and corn grown in this country there is no reason why the best tub butter should sell for more than % cents per pound, Kelly commences to- day to sell at this figure and gives you a guarantee that it won't cost any mo till Nov. 1, '92. How can Kelly do it buying direct and selling for cash. Under this same system he sells you flour at $5.5 per barrel, your eggs for IS cents dozen and g pounds of sugar for $1.
 PRINT BUTTER drops from 35c to 29c. The parties making butter sell to New York commission men who sell it toBridge- port iobbers, who send an agent to this city to sell iD one or two tub lots. Every transaction with the freight included adds from 1 to 2 cents a pound, making total of or cents before it is put on the table. ,Kelly's system does away with all this. Butter for sale at bis stores.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
Decided to Erect a Statue of the Great
 DlscOverer in New Haven,

AJcCAuoU LO EEeCB 8 SGaGu0 O1 the eiE0at
 DIscOverer in New Haven.
 At meeting yesterday of the execu- tive committee of the Knights of Col umbus, appointed to arrange for the Tooth anniversary of the discovery of America, to be held in New Haven, Oc- tober h, it was decided to purchase a SIT ,000 statue of Columbus.
 M. Buryens, the Flemish artist of Ghent, Belgium, will have charge of the work. which is designed by Richard Andrews of the Massachusetts Normal Art school. The statue will be of bronze and Sl feet high. It will have a suitable pedestal and will probably be erected at the corner of George and Church streets, New Haven. A prominent member of the order has already subscribed g, ,0OO.
 The committee adopted a flag to be used on the occasion. It will be silk and have a large Maltese cross in the fcenter. A medallion was also adopted. It will be about the size of a silver dol lar with the head of Columbus in bas relief on one side.
 One of the features of the ceremonies will be the tableaux cars. They will represent events in the life of Columbus, from the time he begged at the various thrones of Europe for money to defray the expenses of his expedition to America, until his return. Among the most important will be his departure, the discovery of America and his return.

SNEAK THIEVES ARRESTED HER

 Believed to Re Members of Gang Who
 State.
 Two sneak thieves who gave their names as William J. Roberts and George Robinson, were arrested by Detective Cronin of Bridgeport in thls city shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. They are wanted in Bridgeport for some crooked work in which they were par ticipants few weeks ago.
 On Fast day A. B. Ayers and wife, who reside at 107 East Main street in Bridgeport, went to Naugatuck to visit Mrs Ayers mother. Roberts and Dick inson, as it appears by developments, went to Mir Ayers house and finding no one at home, forced in the rear door and got away with lady's gold watch set in diamonds, a pair of diamond sleeve buttons, garnet bracelet and other valuable jewelry.
 Mir Ayers informed the Bridgeport police of his loss and Detective Cronin was placed on the case. He traced the robbers to this city and located both of the "birds" at the Earle hotel where they had engaged a room. During Their absence he searched their room and in an unlocked trunk found all of the stolen articles. He waited in the hotel office until they returned and then placed them under arrest. They were taken to Bridgeport this morning for trial. The men are believed to be the thieves who have been operating all over the state for several years. Their plan was to call at houses in the g1lise of peddlers.
