Young people in the flush OF health
are apt to forget that the aged need
help more frequently than they TO ward
of weakness and to check disease.
Because there are no sym ptoms OF any
specific disease they think nothing can
be done. They forget that tho weak
nesses OF old age are general weak
nesses, difficulty of the slow organs
OF digestion and assimilation to prop
erly feed the nerves and body.
The one great need as hot, debilitat-
ing weather comes on. is for new, rich
blood, free from the poisonous humors
that invariably result from a stagnant
condition.

celery compound quickly sends new
blood to every pact of the body is

BISHOP TIERNEY HERE.

| Sacrament of Confirmation Administered
to Nearly 800 Children-Blessing OF
Calvary Cemetery Postponed on Account
of the Rain.
Right Rev Bishop Tierney administered
! the sacrament of confirmation to class OF
293 children at the Immaculate Concep-
ton church this morning. The bishop
celebrated mass at o'clock after which
the exercises attending the ceremony of
confirmation took place. The church was
filed to overlooking and the yard was filled
with people as far as the. sidewalk. The
children looked charming, the girls ar
rayed in white costumes and wearing
wreaths and the boys decked out in hand
some new suits and rosettes pinned on
their arms. The girls, of course, were in
the majority. William Milton acted as
sponsor for the boys and Mrs John Shan
| lev did the honors for the little girls.
After the ceremony the bishop spoke few
words of encouragement to the children
and congratulated the pastor on the work
of instruction among the children of the
parish The bishop was entertained at
the rectory during the afternoon. To-
night he will administer confirmation to a
large class in st Patrick's church.
| At the close of the exercises Bishop
Tierney spoke few words on intemper-
ance which he said was the one crying evil
of the world. He said all should make a
sacrifice to combat it and at his request
the children knelt and took the pledge for
ten years.
Owing to the storm the conservation of
Calvary cemetery was postponed. The
exercises will be held 'on Tuesday, June
| 26.

A PAPER WEDDING.
In Commemoration of the First Anniver-
sary of Welded Life.

In Commemoration of the First Anniver-
sary of Welded Life.
The invitations are simple announce
ments, which may read as follows:
''Mr and Mrs. Henry Burroughs de-
sire the pleasure of your company at the
first anniversary of their marriage, We'd
nesday evening, March twenty eighth,
1894"
These announcements may be either
engraved or written and sent by mail.
If the hostess has but even moderate
amount of taste and ingenuity, it will
be possible for her to prepare surprises
for her guests in the way of decorations
which will be unique and give an add
ed charm to the entertainment For her
assistance are here reproduced some sug-
gestions from The Household:
In the paf1ors, halls, dining room
and dressing rooms decorate as far as
possible with paper. Bureau scarfs, ia
BILE covers, lambrequins, window draper
les and portieres can be easily fashioned
from this material. Each gentleman is
presented in the dressing room with a
buttonhole bouquet of paper flowers, and
each lady with tiny basket, made by
crocheting narrow rolled strips of white
tissue paper. These are filled with small
flowers, either violets, buttercups, pink
or white daisies, and are dainty little
souvenirs of the occseion.
The supper table may be spread with
white damask cloth, over which is laid
another cover Of white Grape tissue, the
seams of which are neatly joined and
covered with a trailing vine of paper
smilax. Candles, with paper shades, are
used for lighting the table. The plates
may be made of white pasteboard cut in
circular shape and decorated around the
edge with tissue paper fringe. Small
memorandum pads, with covers of
heavy water color paper, painted with
landscapes or flowers, or where this is
not possible lettered in gilt, with a
motto and date of the occasion, make
pretty favors when the number of
guests is limited so that they may be
seated at the table.
The following is a list of pretty and
Inexpensive gifts suited to the occasion;
Paper candle shades, bOnbOn boxes, pa
per frames, photograph stands, engage
ment tablet, bookmarks, memorandum
books in sets of three, including adj
dresses, engagements and letter regis
tiers; blotters, visiting cards, stationery,
paper baskets, fans, lamp screens, sub
scriptions to papers and magazines, and
many useful kitchen articles such as
water pals, bowls, ETC., which are made
from paper.
For the nearer friends and relatives
there is no lack of expensive gifts which
would give happiness to the youthful
couple if economy need not be consid-
ered-checks, bankbills, pictures, books,
and many costly things i'll which paper
figures largely.

Possible That the Waterbury Team Will

Jimmy Peoples, come back from Brook
Ign and relieve the boys of this uncertain
ty Another day has passed and the Wa
terbury manager has not returned. G. H.
Miller, who is hacker of the New Haven
team was in the city yesterday trying to
induce Il. 81. Hayes to give financial aid
to the Waterburys. Mr. Hayes, when seen
by reporter to-day, said that he would
have the grounds put in shape at once.
He was about to consult a contractor rela-
tive to a grand stand and would have one
erected in all probability by Decoration
day. He had not consented to take hold
of the ball team. He had consulted the
players last night and would see them
again to-day. He was averse to offering
salaries, but would possibly let the team
have the grounds free. He did net
authorize the meeting in New Haven last
night, when New Britain was allowed in the
league, to use his name as taking charge of
the local team.
When the gate money was attached by
the Meriden team recently Sheriff Downes
received S25.75. The sheriff also claimed
that William Moore disclosed the fact that
he had SIS more, and the sheriff proposed
to bring writ of scire facias to make
Moore denies this in toto. The writ was
issued through Prosecuting Attorney
Danaher of Meriden. Manager Peoples
engaged Attorney Russell and gave 500
bonds to contest the case, which is return
able before Justice Willis 1. Finn of
MerideD, May 80 at 2 o'clock The bond
was properly forwarded, but Sheriff
Downs still holds the S25.75. On Tues
day Attorney Russell received a letter
from Peoples stating that he would
not return for few days and that lie had
written Meriden for game the day of the
trial. kilograms have been sent to
Manager Peoples since, but he has failed
to answer them. 1t is said that some
fifteen or sixteen season tickets have been
sold for from SIS to SO each. The ball
players have not received their pay and
owe about $50 for board, and it is said
Peoples owes The same to Landlord San
ford. In the Adams Express Office are
nine base ball suits with c. o. d. of S83
on the bundle. These suits have been
here for some weeks.

John Miles Brave Deed.

An old comrade of mine, Sergeant John
Mile, attached to the United States cav
airy, was out with a scouting party, and
they were surprised by party of In
clans four times their number. They
exchanged shots with them, wheeled
about and made for camp, some miles
distant.
The Indians continued firing, and final,
ly one of the white men was hit and fell
from his horse. Quick as a flash Nihle
dismounted, dropped on his knee and
fired at the foremost Indian, bringing
him to the ground. Jumping up he
placed his wounded comrade across his
horse, jumped up behind him, and by
keeping up continual fire at his pur-
suers carried him into camp. Congress
awarded Mile a medal and also a GER
tifcate setting forth the facts of his hero,
ism. He was the champion shot of the
army for several years, his left breast
being decorated with medals to the value
of 800, but the one he prizes most is the
simple one of bronze awarded by con-
gress.
John is very modest and as brave as a
lion, and as such he is regarded by his
comrades at Willets Point.-Cor. New
York Press.

Few Schoolhooks In the Home.

There is one effect of the law requir-
ing towns to provide free textbooks foI
schools that will operate little against
the public good, though probably not
seriously. This is that scholars go out
from the schools at graduation without
the little stock Of schoolbooks as private
property common to former years. In
many households these schoolbooks
comprised in the main the family il
braries, and they have doubtless in
thousands of instances been sources OF
information and means Of study to "chil-
dren of a larger growth" in the home
circle. Now the books have almost en-
tirely disappeared from the country
stores, and the citizen who wants one
has to send abroad for it. A Maine man
who tried to purchase a textbook the
other day in village containing 40
stores couldn't find one for sale.-Lew-
iston Journal.

"Brotller john"

Although there is a great deal heard
about wealth in the theatrical profession,
there are but few actors and managers who
have any real claim to be called rich.
Professional people who are worth over
$4,000 are almost as hard to find as a
shad without bones. Probably the richest
actor in the profession is William Fl.
Crane, the comedian. For many seasons
he has been extremely successful and the
first two years that he presented .sThe
Senator that play yielded him over $780,
900. So far this season he has been play-
ing Brother john" his new comedy. to
an average of 81, 900 per week, the greater
portion of which goes to him,

DARING THIEVES.
Hicks Restaurant Entered Before

Hicks Restaurant Entered Before 8
O'Clock Last Night.
A daring but unsuccessful attempt was
made to burglarize Hicks restaurant last
night. The more daring from the fact
that it was attempted early in the even
ing. Mr. Hicks closed the restaurant at
twenty minutes past eight last night
He left in the cash drawer between
thirty and forty dollars in silver. He
usually took the money up stairs with him
ut night. He intended to do this last
night, but wished first to go to the post
Office. He returned to the restaurant at a
quarter before nine and discovered that an
attempt had been made to pry open the
cash drawer. The small punch which
| they use on meal tickets had been pried
between the drawer and counter. Several
forks and knives were scattered over the
counter as if an effort Lad been made to
draw the cash out through the opening
made. The drawer was broken but none
| of the money was missing. Mr. Hicks be-
gan a search as to how the entrance was
effected. The curtain on the window near
the counter was up but the curtains on the
doors were down. Tracks led from the
cash drawer to the kitchen, down
into the cellar and out to the front, where
it was found that entrance had been effect
ed through the window of the cellar,
which was broken the other day by a run
away team. 1t must have been the work
of boys as a man could scarcely get
through the opening. There probably was
watcher outside who warned those in
side of the approach of the proprietor.
Only twenty-fiv minutes had elapsed from
the time MIR Hicks left the place until his
return, and had further time been given
the thieves would have been successful.

Navigation on the Nile.

From the beginning Of winter to the
end of spring-that is, while the Nile is
navigable-the north wind blows steadi-
ly up stream with sufficient force to
drive sailing boats against the current at
a fair pace, while, on the other hand, the
current is strong enough to carry boat
without sails down against the wind, ex-
cept when it blows gale. That is why
ancient Egypt did not need steam power
nor electric motors for the immense
commerce that covered the Nile, nor for
the barges carrying building material
for hundreds Of miles.-Harpers Young
