BISHORr T4ERNEY
Presented With n Purse of Nearly Eleven
Thousand Dollars.

Thousand Dollars.
At banquet given to $50 priests after
the conservation services yesterday after
noon, Bishop Tierney was presented with
a purse containing S1O.85O. the gift of
priests and friends in the diocese. Arch
bishop Williams responded to the toast
The Pope, " Bishop Beaver to America, "
Bishop Harkins to The Priests of New
England" and the new bishop was toasted
by Father F. de Bruycker, of Willimantic
The Rev Patrick Mulholland of Fair Ha-
ven read an address from the priests of
the diocese tie Bishop Tierney, preceding
the presentation of the purse.
The first pers IN upon whom Bishop
Tierney conferred his blessing after the
ceremony of consecration was complete
was his mother, nearly eighty years old,
Mrs Tierney of Norwalk. Although quite
feeble, she went to Hartford that her eyes
might behold her sons conservation.
Father Stanley reserved a seat for her
not far from the altar rail, and when the
new bishop descended the steps he walked
to her, bent over, and kissed her and gave
her his blessing. 1t was a touching eXhl-
bition of kindly spirit and tilial devotion.

The Burglar" will be presented at the
opera house this evening. The Harris
burg Call says of the play: The audience
at the opera house last evening were
treated to a most agreeable surprise and
are now fully convinced that play cannot
always be judged by its title The Bur
glar" was the bill, and it proved the most
interesting comedy drama that has been
presented here this season. 1t is not a
sensational piece, but play that appeals
to the higher class of theatre goers
"Venus."
A comic opera, with matrimony for its
object and Venus for its heroine, offers no
end of temptations to contrive risky situa-
tons and to shape speeches of double
meaning. From anything of this sort
Venus is absolutely free. There is not
broad line or a suggestive action in it
from first to last, and even in the matter
of costume reserve has ruled, the result
being series of attractive and elegant
groupings of stuff, colors and figures. 1t
will be presented at the opera house Mon
day evening.
"My Colleen"
My Colleen" which was seen at the
opera house last night, is an interesting
Irish comedy drama from the pen of
James A. Herne. 1t was given by good
company, headed by Tory Farrell, a sweet
singer.

Girls Who PLAY iiandball.

IIandball seems to be growing in favor in
America James j. Corhett considers it
one of the best features of his training, and
other athletes are becoming very fond of
the sport. In Brooklyn the girl pupils of
Adelphi academy have become proficient i'll
the sport which is apparently excellent eN-
ercise for the fair sex. Recently Philip
Casey, the handball champion of the world,
visited the Adelphi academy gymnasium.
The presence of the famous player was
hailed with pleasure by the girls who are
engaged in the handball tournament. The
champion instructed the girls and n few
boys, who happened to be present when he
called, in some of the essential points of the
game, and he also played with the youthful
athletes. By this means he was able to
show the pupils how to strike, how to re
cover and how to place the little sphere.
Miss Louise Brooks, who leads in the girls
tournament, was invited by the stalwart
athlete to play against him. He gave the
girl champion every opportunity, and when
they stopped play Mr., Casey found that
Miss Brooks had vanquished him 10y a score
of II TO &.

Kelly Still Believes

in the principle of Mr. Mckinley who said
everything we eat or drink must be pro-
duced and manufactured by the working
classes of America.
Kelly says every dollar we pay for the
waterworks should be paid to the working
classes of the city, even if it cost five per
cent more than it would if done by out
siders who would not be obliged to pay
one cent to redeem our water bonds, be-
cause it is well known fact the tenant
pays the water tax and it would seem very
unreasonable to appropriate forty thous-
and dollars to be spent on public works
and employ people from other towns when
we have one hundred and sixteen families
with an average of six in family whose
income is less than three dollars a week
and they depending on soliciting COM
mittee to beg bread, in order that they
need not go to be bed supperless. Take
KELLY'S advice and you will never regret
it, and Twill give you guarantee that
