Murphy Addresses a Big Crowd OF Me
IN the sanred Heart Church.

Murphy Addresses n Big Crowd Of Men
In the sacred Heart Church.
The Murphy temperance meeting was
held last night in the basement of the
Sacred Heart church. Rev Father Treanor
presided and there were present in the
chancel. Rev Father Murphy. DIR Daven-
port, Rev Mr. Nichols, G. P. kellogg, ]. s.
Galley, A. G. Mintie, E. ]. Steer and v.
NJ. Shaw
Father Treanor introduced Mr. Murphy
saying, II am more than rejoiced to see
this vast audience and it makes me conf
dent that this temperance movement has
taken deep root in the hearts of the men of
Waterbury. It is not necessary that in
Toduce to you the eloquent exponent of
the temperance cause, but would extend
to him welcome to the Sacred Heart
parish"
Mr. Murphy began by words of thanks
for the welcome that had been extended to
him and continued: II esteem it one of
the greatest honors of my life to be per-
mitted to stand in this sacred place and be
introduced by this christian gentleman.
have been engaged in this work many
years, but have never received q more
hearty and uniform welcome than that ac-
corded me by all Glasses and denomina-
tons in Waterbury"
Murphy had made one of his greatest
efforts in st Patrick's hall Monday night
and was very tired, but he warmed up
with his subject and forgot himself in the
torrent of eloquence which he poured
forth. The pictures of home and mothers
and sisters and wives and children, which
he drew, were beautiful and sad
by contrast. He paid a glowing
tribute to Waterbury's patriot priest,
the late Rev Lawrence Walsh. He
told that it had come to his ears that peo-
pie found fault because Fathers Mulcahy
and Treanor allowed him to speak to their
people, calling him an apostate. II was
not brought up Roman Catholic, The said.
.tIf was, would be Roman Catholic.
This movement is not on sectarian lines
When men enlisted to fight for the union
they did not ask whether they were Roman
Catholics, Baptists, Methodists or any
thing else. To-day we are confronted by
an enemy worse than slavery and Catholics
and Protestants will stand shoulder to
shoulder until the last saloon door is closed
and the last fire in the last distilery is
extinguished. As goes the Sacred Heart
parish so go other parishes" Father Muir
ply, DIR Davenport, Rev Mr. Nichols and
c. P. Kellogg made short, but earnest ad-
dresses. A rousing vote of thanks was
rendered Father Treanor. He replied that
he had enjoyed the meeting; that he was
glad others not of his faith had attended
and that he hoped from this time on to see
kindlier and more loving spirit among all
classes of the community.
The church choir was present and under
the direct of Mrs Wolff, the organist, sang
Mozart's "Magnificat," Verdis "Jesu Del
Vivi, America" and the Star Spangled
Banner" ~
During his address Mr. Murphy referred
to the no license victory i'm New Britain,
saying iewas largely due to the efforts of
Fathers Herney and MoGurk and Father
Doyle of New York

p DIVORCE IN BuRMAH.
An Original and Exhaustive Method OF

An Original and Exhaustive Method OF
Settling Family Troubles.
In Burmah, as. in civilized Europe,
suspicion often disturbs the family circle,
but instead of filling lawyers pockets
and giving society papers highly spiced
paragraphs the following effectual mode
or divorce procedure is adopted: The

way of-and many are lifelong journeys
made in jolting bullock carts, and many

smooth down the quarrels, as rule, for

the table il the establishment boasts of
one; if not, on the floor.
This is done with the greatest gravity,
care being taken that neither party has
any advantage over the other in the
shape OF drafts through the doors and
crannies, and that all present are seated
at sufficient distance to prevent their
breathing from affecting the flame. The
gradual burning down of the flames is
then watched with breathless and, SOL

the other of these slowly burns down and
splutters out its life in the waters of the

Asking the Wrong Party.

Some Of you." said political orator,
remind me of Johnny Bizirn, who un-
dertook to break the yearling bull, and
to make sure he did not get away tied
the rope around his waist. The break
ing process angered the yearling, and he
split a crack in the atmosphere toward
the swamp. Johnny only hit the ground
in the high places. In their mad career
they passed neighbor, who yelled to
John, Where are you going?' 'Blanked
if know he replied as he sailed
through the air. ASK the bull.""-

Roses All the Year Round.

Splendid as the blooms of the June
ones are, we want roses all summer long,
hence have to look to the teas, Chinas,
Bourbons and similar ones to give them
to us, and they won't disappoint us.
Summer roses, as we call them, bloom
from first to last, giving us their small
er, though sweet scented, flowers until
freezing weather comes. When the cool
nights of fall come, they make a glorious
display Of flowers, allowing of the cut
ting Of many a bouquet. The we'll
known Hermosa, Louis Philippe, NAL
maison and Agrippina are members of
this class. Other good representatives
are Appoline. Edward Desfosses, Louise
Oder, Bougere, Caroline Marniesse, Ho-
mer, Gloire de Dion, Mime. de Vatry,
Souvenir dun Ami, Marie Ducher and
Sombrieul. These are all hardy in this
latitude with but little protection, and
IN many places with no protection at all.
