CATHOLIC SUMNER SCHOOL.

Formal Opening Held Yesterday at New
London. -
Tho formal opening of the Catholic
summer school at New London was
held yesterday morning at st Mary's
church.
Bishop Mcmahon of Hartford was exs
pected to act as celebrant of the mass,
but was prevented from officiating by a
sudden indisposition.
His place was filled by Rev joseph II,
Mcmahon of the New York cathedral,
who was assisted by Rev Thomas
ConatY of Worcester, as deacon, Rev
Thomas McMillan,C S. P, as sub
deacon, and Rev DIR Maher, chancellor
of the Hartford diocese, master of cere-
monies.
The bishops illness did not prevent
him from appearing within the sanctu-
airy. where he occupied conspicuous
position surrounded by several dis
tinguished clergymen.
The sermon was preached by Rev
William o. b. Pardon, s. j., of New
York, who took for his text: ''And God
said let there be light, and there was
light"
The speaker, after dwelling on this
eliminating act of the creation, went
on to show what a struggle between
light and darkness has gone on through
the ages and is still being continued, al
though Christ said 81 am the light"
He then paid a glowing tribute to
mans reason, showing that he has the
right to reject everything that reason
cannot clearly accept, unless it be a
matter of revelation.
He dwelt on the. sacred regard that
Catholics have foq.the bible. as the re-
vealed word, and claimed that this was
exemplified in their desire to keep the
book in its entirety.
He emphasized the fact that Catho-
lies loved the light, and would fain
prove this to their fellow-men. Those
who refused to accept evidence of this
truth, and preferred to believe SANDER
GUS and unfoupded statements made
against the church, were proving, on
the contrary, that they preferred dark
ness

VIII Be Released From the State Prison
This Month
The list of prisoners to be released
from the state prison, in Wethersfield, in
August, contains the name of Jimmy
Lyons, alias S. o. Rogers, who was sem
fenced in December, 1890, to two years
for burglary committed in 1868
in CRANKY. Good behavior has reduced
his sentence nearly four months. Just
before he was sentenced Lyons escaped
from the Jail. Tuesday, December 2,
1890, he secretly made his appearance in
the county courtroom and had a brief
conference with Judge Eggleston, the
state attorney. Judge Samuel J. Prem
tice was on the bench. The following

attorney. Judge Prentice review the
situation and in consideration of all the
facts said that he felt compelled to i'm
pose two-years' sentence for the crime
that had been committed in 1868. No
account was taken of the escape from

tics. He explained to the men the ad-
vantages of being citizens of the United

secured their first papers to do so this

and learn what they were voting for,

MUNSON MURDER CASE.
POSSIBLY Important New Eviden
Discovered,

Possibly Important New Evidence
Discovered.
\ It is thought that very important
piece of evidence has just been dis
covered in the Munson murder case,
which created so much excitement in
shelton last January. A black dress
was found few days ago by a laborer,
hidden away in and old barrel. 1t was
quite badly torn in front and several
large stains were also discovered on it
which strongly resemble bloodstains.
The spot where it was found is located
but about three hundred yards from the
Munson house, where the awful tragedy
occurred, and was in the midst of q
tract of woodland. The garment tallies
almost exactly with the one which the
accused, Mrs John Hawley, was seen to
have on the night the murder was COM
United, and doubtless will play an i'm
portant part at the trial which will take
place at Bridgeport in September. The
authorities now have the dress and will
have the stains examined by experts.

THE MERlDEM AND WATERBURY,

Again in the Market and No One Cares
TO Buy.
The Meriden, Waterbury & Connect
cut River road is again on the market.
The men who bought the road a few
months ago were j. A. Bostwick, w.
81. Starbuck, and F. 81. Prince of the
New England road. The price paid was
$3.50, 900, of which Bostwick paid $175,-
900, and the other two $87 500
each. It was understood that
the road was purchased in the
interest of the Housatonic system. If
the Housatonic guaranteed the interest
on the bonds it would place 81 ,000, 900 of
bonds on the market, for which only
$3.50, 900 had been paid, leaving clear
profit of $3.50, 900 for the operators. This
movement has been blocked by the SELL
ing out of the Housatonic road. The
New England road was then appealed
Ito, but President Parsons says he does
not propose to load the New England
with another 81 900, 900 of bonds. Con-
|sequently the Meriden & Waterbury is
on the market.

Is the talk of the day at present, by men,
women and children and by one of our
competitors and it is very thoughtful for
him Tor whoever thought 1t for him) to
start funds for the strikers. Brennan is
in favor of the workingmen and he hopes
hey win the day.
Brennan wants to know when the
bakers are to have their picnic, they have
had no day to themselves in years, and he
thinks If all proprietors shut their place
of business up for one afternoon it would
be big help to the workingmen that
work at such confusing work. AS Bren-
nan Is the only baker in this city who
makes home made bread, his head baker
's perfectly willing to give very important
tips on how it is made providing they give

The Horse Rai|rad and tho
Workingmsn,

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 10 themselves.
One important concession should be that
the workingman should secure q 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.

Gladstone Booms the Cycle.

Gladstone is an enthusiastic cyclist,
but it is in theory only. He admits that
he is too old to master the softly gliding
wheel, but he is confident its increasing
use is a great thing for England. As
might be expected, he maintains that
while improved health and spirits are
good, the greater good will be in enabling
Englishmen to get better acquainted
with one another. He says:
1t is far more profitable than the luxurious
railway journey from the city TO some definite
point along an unalterabe route, over which
the traveller is whirled with no time for obsers
walton and no opportunity of examining the
district through which he is carried. can only
emphasize the fact that | consider that phys
ically, morally and socially the benefits that
cycling confers on the men Of the present day
are almost unbounded.

ENIGMA.

wanted the sweep of the wild, wet weather,
The winds long lash and the rains free fab,
The toss OF the trees as they swayed together,
The measureless gray that was over them all;
Whose roar speaks more than a language
spoken,
Wordless and wonderful, cry on cry,
The sob Of an earth that is veXed and broken,
The answering sob OF broken sky
What should they tell US? We see them ever,
The trees, and the sky, and the stretch of the
land;
But they give US a word of their secret never;
They tell no story we understand.
Yet happy the ghostlike birch out yonder
Knows much in a silent and placid way;
The rain might tell what the gray clouds pom
der,
The winds repeat what the violets say
Why weeps the rain? Do you know its sor-
row.
Do you know why the wind is so sad, so sad9
Have you stood In a rift twixt a day and a
morrow
Seen their hands meet and their eyes grow

Is the white rose more of saint than the
red?

Destroyers OF Grasshoppers.

There is a small reptile out west
known as the fence lizard, which
catches and eats a great many grass
hoppers. The species is very common
in the infested regions. Skunks are
most active enemies of the insect and
have been known to ascend trees for the
purpose of catching them. For obvious
reasons it will hardly be practicable to
encourage these particular mammals,
but no such objections would apply to
toads, which are apt to swarm wherever
the choppers" are, gobbling the latter
greedily.
Many planters in California employ
flocks of turkeys for the purpose of free
ing their orchards and vineyards of
grasshoppers. One turkey will destroy
an almost incredible number in single
day. Incidentally the birds are fattened
at the cheapest possible rate. They are
so fond Of such food that sometimes
they devour too many and die of indi-
gestion.-Washington Star.

Owls KIN MANY Mice.

Mr.. Nicholson has issued an appeal to
landowners and country folk generally
not to kill off every bird of prey, but,
instead of mailing the skin Of an owl or
hawk on barn door because it bears
an evil name in the poultry yard, and is
in the black books of the gamekeeper,
to preserve it, within limits, at least as
sedulously as the partridges and pleas
ants in whose interests it is destroyed.
The barn owl (Aluco hammeus) is unde-
niably the farmers friend and by no
means the sportsman's enemy. From
observations made during the nesting
time it has been calculated that it will
bring to its callow young a mouse about
once every twelve or fifteen minutes,
and as many as twenty good sized rats,
perfectly fresh, have been counted in a
single nest. A nest containing five
owlets was placed under a hencoop,
and no less than twenty-four rats, large
and small brought there by the parent
birds, were found lying outside the coop
the following morning. - Edinburgh

The way to bring good times and
make business lively is to talk constant
ly of the hard times. Recall all the
dull seasons you can remember; predict
failure for every business enterprise
that undertakes operations. Tell ali
the world that business in the country
is dead beyond resurrection and have
the report go abroad. Prophesy another
panic, trust nobody financially, be afraid
to employ your capital and make every
body else feel the same way.
