Death of Principal M. J. NellIgan Of tn,
 Bank Street School.

Death of Principal M. J. NellIgan Of the
 Bank Street School.
 Michael J. Nelligan, principal of the Bank street school, one of the most effi- cient teachers of the Center school district, and highly accomplished and respected citizen, died at o'clock this morning, at his residence, 430 Washington avenue, after short illness. He leaves a wife, who is teacher in the Bank street school.
 Mir Nelligan WAS born in Lee, Mass. September 3, 1857, and was graduated from Williams college with high honors in the class of 1883, and received the degree of NJ. A. two years later. He chose teach ing as a profession, and entered upon its duties first in his native town. He re- moved to Waterbury in 1884 and first took position as principal of the old East Main street school. Later he was trans ferred and became principal of the Porter street school. When the new Bank street school was opened he was promoted to be principal of that school, position he held at the time of his decease. MT Nelligan was a ripe scholar and, as such, we'll equipped for his profession. As a teacher | he excelled; his methods were in the highest degree systematic and carefully studied; he read at once the character and capacity of his pupils, and without seem- ing effort or rigor maintained the most perfect discipline. His manner of fixing ] the attention of his pupils and impartIng knowledge, were most happy and success l ful; with dig-ifed carriage and gentle ways he was always the master. As a eiti- zen and man. Mir Nelligan won the hearts of all with whom he came in contact. He ! could have no enemies, as he would not 1 and could not do anyone an intentional injury; he was eminently honest and just in every relation of life. He was a chris tian gentleman, and no establishment of words can add force to such a character. As husband, he gave the full measure of manly devotion; as a friend, his memory will be cherished with loving constlncy, and as a citizen, the community will mourn the loss of a noble and true man.
 The flag at the Bank street school is at half mast and the children and teach CTS and Janitor William Ramon feel 1 keenly the loss they have sustained in the death of Principal Nelligan, whose kindly, unostentatious manners had endeared him to teachers and pupils and made his name familiar and respected among the parents and friends of the large number of chil- dren attending the school. The funeral will be held Thursday m Jrning with a re- | quiem mass in St Patrick's church at ' o'clock to which all relatives and friends are invited. The remains will be taken to Lee, Mass. an the S:33 train on the Nauga- | tuck road, in charge of Undertake r Moriarty Professor NJ. & Crosby, super intendent of the Waterbury schools, will also accompany the remalns. The pall- bearers will be Principal J. E. Madigan of the Bishop street school and Principal B. F. Fitzpatrick of the Clay street school with one each from Sheridan council. K. l of c. and the A O. If

A DastardlY Crime.

BRANFoRD, Oct 2.-The attempted assas- slnation of Edward E. Magovern, the young manager of the Branford Lock works, Friday night, is still the talk of the town. Mir Magovern has been out of town since the dastardly attempt was made on his life, but is expected back this even- ing As far as can be learned no clue has been discovered to the man who fired the shot It IS the general belief, however, that the attempted murder was the result of the differences existing between the workmen employed in the lock works and the manager.

WORLD OF SPORTS

Boston won s6 games in the race of last year. lO2 the year before. S7 in 1891 while Brooklyn won SC in 1890.
 The Sporting Life says that there is not, and never has been club in the league that played the game more intellicentIy than the Bostons.
 It is a fact. which the statistics of the season will prove. that in every city where Sunday games have been played there has been falling of in the attendance on week days.
 Umpire McQuaid says he thinks the new league will be go. by tue way people are talking. He considers the haste in which the league managers are signing old men and drafting new ones a confession of fear of the new movement

Bob FitzsImmons.

The Bob Fitzsimmons Speciality Co will De al the opera house this evening, and there Is sure to be big audience. Fitz- simmons has been whipping all the mid dleweights of note and has achieved fame on these lines.
 ''Casper the Y"dler-
 The sweetest of singers, Charles T. Ellis, will appear at the opera house Thursday evening in Casper the Yodler. {"
 "My Partner"
 My Partner" will be presented at the opera house Wednesday evening. by Louis Aldrich and strong company. The charm of the play resides more in the in- terest that its story excites than in the sympathy that its substance inspires. By reason of its strong situations, its sim plicity, its interest of plot, and the oppor- tunities that it gives for good acting, it is a woi k that is accepted with great respect and praise, and it is a work that will live for long time to come. That the play has been popular with theatre-goers is manifest. when it is said tllat this season is the fourte enth on the road, and that it has cleared MT Aldrich the neat sum of s206. 900 in that time.
 "OId Glory"
 A fair sized audience witnessed the pro- duction of "Old Glory" at Jacques opera house last night The play abounded in thrilling situations and comedy snaps and was well received. John T. Coleman, always favorite here. was excellent in his specialties. The company as a whole was above the average.

Mrs. Eva II. Blackman of Leaven-
worth, Kan, who is the first woman
police commissioner on record, in the
language of the Grasshopper State,
''malzes things humi' The papers have
been full of tales about her proves in
cutting off official heads, firing old
bachelors from the force, installing her
friends in Office, making the police force
doff their hats to her and driving va
riety troop out of town. She also in
augurated a code of whistle signals by
which the force is put in constant COM
munication. Formerly an officer could
never be found when wanted; but,
thanks to Mrs. Blackman, a schedule is
now in effect by which the whereabouts
of every man is known at all times. She
has succeeded in getting separate quar-
tiers for women prisoners, has secured
sanitary arrangements undreamed of be-
fore and has had the Jail cleaned and
cleared of vernin- Mrs Blackman is 27
years old, small of stature and believes
that comfort and not style should be par
amount in dress She owns and edits a
small Populist paper, on which she does
a great deal of the work. Her 4-year-
old boy, who is said to measure over a
foot for every year, is her constant COM
paniOn.

Then and Now.

The s'well descended Boston remon-
strants may claim an ally in Governor
John Winthrop, 2 = centuries ago. And
the prophetic utterance of Representa-
tive Hayes of Lowell, who called for
new lunatic asylunls in case the munich
pal woman suffrage bill should become
a law, finds historic justification. The
following quotation is from ''Win-
throp's History of New England and
is dated 1915:
Mr.. Hopkins, the governor of Hart
ford, upon Connecticut, came to Boston
and brought his wife with him, who
was fallen into sad infirmity-the loss
of her understanding and reason-which
had been growing upon her divers years
by occasion of her giving herself wholly
to reading and writing and had written
many books. Her husband, being very
loving and tender of her, was loath to
grieve her, but he saw his error when
it was too late, for if she attended her
household affairs and such things as be-
long to women and not gone out of her
way and calling to NEEDLE in such
things as are proper for men, whose
minds are stronger, etc, she had kept
her wits and might have improved them
usefully and hOnorably in the place God
had set her. boston Woman's Jour

If the ballot belongs by right to ev
cry woman, nothing more remains to be
said. Let justice be done, though the
heavens fall. That other women do not
wish to vote, or that men are unwilling
that women should vote, or that woman
suffrage will imperil the refinement and
delicacy of womanhood, or will threaten
the peace of families, or that giving
suffrage to women will add to the COM
plications which giving suffrage to all
men has produced and will swell the
ignorant and the superstitious, if not
the immoral and purchasable vote, are
considerations wholly immaterial, if
woman has a right to the ballot, for
it can never be just to refuse, from mo-
tives of expediency, to do justice.
Rather let Us say that justice is always
expedient To put the case correctly,
if Miss Anthony has a right to the bal
lot, the rest of the people Of the state of
New York have no right to refuse it to
her.-OutloOk-

Lions and nronkers As1eep.

The animals at Lincoln park are ac-
customed to a MONDAY nap, and as they
begin to grow sleepy and seek their
couches it is very interesting to note
the various postures they assume Big
Major, the lion, stretches himself out
upon the floor of his cage almost upon
his back, his great head resting on his
mass of tawny name, which forms a
magnificent frame to the face. With
almost infantile grace the paws are
crossed upon his peaceful breast, across
which, it is safe to affirm, not a wave
of trouble rolls. The lower jaw relaxes
for all the world like grandpa asleep in
his chair. Such a good, good lion, one
thinks, he must be, with such a good,
good conscience to sleep like that
The monkeys, on the other hand, hud-
die together in punches, with faces
turned in and tails curled up, forming
SO compact mass that only ridge of
hairy back of each is seen. These, one
says to oneself, must be miserable,
guilty wretches, afraid to face the world
and distrustful even in sleep.
Yet the lion would not at all mind
dining off man, conscience and all,
and the monkeys would not think of
hurting anything bigger than a flea
and then only when it persisted in an

A Wife Is a Luxury.

The English law courts have formally
decided that a wife is not a necessity of
life, but a luxury. There have been a
good many breach of promise suits be-
fore the courts lately, and in two prom
inent ones the defense was set up that
the contract was invalid because the
contracting parties were minors when it
was made, and that no contract made
by minor is binding at law, except it
be for necessity In one case the
defense failed because the contract was
renewed after the youth attained his
majority, but III the other case the young
fellow got off, the court deciding that a
wife could not be considered a necessity.

Sic Carried Yer Motion.

Miss Meta L. Cowles of Greene, N.
Y, appeared as the attorney in a case
at the court in Delhi, n. Y. 1t was the
first time lady lawyer ever argued a
case in that city. She succeeded in car
rying her motion. The progress in this
part of the country is very remarkable
and encouraging. Many are willing
women should vote ON the license ques-
ton in the towns, but not yet for rulers.
But quietly the work goes on, and the
complete triumph cannot be far away.

Was the summer they took me on a yacht
And we lived six weeks at sea-

friends, who filed the gallery to over

difficult feats to follow. Nine of the
larger girls now took off their long red
sashes and knotted them around the
railing at the end Of the hall, giving it
a much dressed up appearance. In the
meantime the horizontal bar had been
raised to the desired height, and the
nine maidens now took their places to
await each her turn. And the swings
and jumps and turns that they gave

of their male acquaintance

tear rolled down his chubby cheek and
with big sob he fed from the scene.

A Chance For Chicago Women to Vote.

Chicago women may do little voting
this fall if they are so inclined. In Cook
county the only officers for whom they
can vote are the trustees of the state
university They have no right to vote
even for school superintendent. Prob
ably comparatively few women will care
to enjoy such a mere suggestion of suf-
frage, although Mrs. Catherine Waugh
McCulloch, prominent woman lawyer
says that she thinks 200, 600 women will
go to the polls a.ad cast ballots.

The three or four small boys had been
for some time trying the horse, the
rings, the Indian clubs, etc, and had at
last settled themselves on the parallel
bars to watch the performance until
their turn should come again.
The girls showed some good work and
considerable well developed muscle on
the rings and with dumbbells Another
pretty movement to music finished the
programme Then came the awarding
