PLEASED WITH WATERBURY

Father Mulcahy Thanks the People of
This City in Behalf of AIonsIgnor atoiIi.
At the church of the Immaculate Con-
ception yesterday Rev Father Mulcahy
conferred the apostolic blessir upon his
flock and thanked all for the magnificent
reception rendered to Monsignor Satolli
in this city last week. He said:
II sincerely congratulate you and all the
Catholics of this city on the beautiful re-
ception which you gave to his excellency.
Archbishop Satolli, the apostolic delegate,
on last Tuesday. His coming here was
grand occasion, but Waterbury was fully
equal to it. 1t was an event which all
who took part in it will ever remember
with pleasure and with pride. Yet, In this
were we especially happy that even our
pleasure in rendering the reception was
far below that which his excellency felt in
receiving it. The good will and Joy man.
ifest on all sides touched him deeply He
frequently assured us during his short
stay that he felt completely at home in this
city. The honor in which we all hold
him was patent, and he fully appreciated
it. He saw spirit of thrift, of industry,
and of progress, and he admired it much.
Our school houses and new library build
ing received his warmest concentrations,
and that which he saw in our converts
and high school impressed him very favor
ably, as to the progress we were making in
this field
"Yet it was your filial devotion, and
your lively faith, as manifested more
especially in the church on the following
morning, that touched him most deeply
and served most to fill his heart with
holy joy. Under its influence he became
the father amongst his children. In this
spirit he went from us showing us We
had never seen before how the highest at
tainments, the most exalted hOnOrs and
the broadest culture may be combined with
the utmost simplicity of manners; and
how all are made respondent by true
christian piety.
I'm the reception all did so well that I
f, ell most reluctant to single out anybody.
Yet cannot but thank the mayor for his
courtesy and the whole city government.
The societies that paraded deserve much
thanks. The uniformed bodies who kept
guard in the hall added great deal to the
general appearance and order. The police
especially the chief, deserve your thanks.
The officials at the Watch factory by
their courtesy and their happy thoughtful
ness in presenting to him beautiful
watch deserve special thanks.
The Protestant clergymen of the city,
some by their presence, others by the
christian spirit shown in their acknowl-
edgement of the invitation, gave his ex-
cellency much pleasure.
''His reception at the High school made
a deep and favorable impression on him.
He spoke very pointedly of the generous
treatment he received here at tho hands of
the press.
He was much pleased with the cour-
tesy shown him at the engine house and

Edward SlasOn Guilty of a Criminal
Assault Mrs Martha Butler.

Edward Slason Guilty of Criminal
Assault Mrs Martha Butler.
Edward Slason was charged this morn
ing in the police court with drunkenness
and assault with attempt to commit rape.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Saturday night
Miss Lillian Doyle and Mrs Martha Butler
of New York. her cousin, who is visiting
her, were coming down Farm street, to
procure some medicine at the corner drug
store. They passed a man who was
slightly intoxicated. He followed them
throat and threw her against the fence.
She struggled for moment to free herself
and screamed. Miss Doyle, who was
thoroughly frightened Also called for help.
She recognized Slason and called his
name. E. L. Dwight was passing at the
time. He rushed back when he heard the
screams and seizIng Slason threw him
away from the woman. He did not hold
him because the woman had tainted and
needed his assistance. She was taken to
the homo of Miss Doyle. Sergeant Dodds
and Officer Slakeley went on the track of
Slason They located him at his own
home on Willard street. The door was
locked when they got there. but they soon
effected an entrance and found Slason
alone in the house. He denied knowing
anything about the affair He was taken to
Miss Doyle's home, where she identified
him as did Mr. Dwight. Mrs Butler was
in no condition to identify him. She did
identify him this morning, however. The
court room was cleared of spectators
during the trial and Mrs Butler, who testi-
fed first, scarcely raised her ewes to iden-
tify Slason in the box. He had no lawyer
and the agony of cross-examination was
not gone through with. Judge Bradstreet
gave him thirty days in Jail for drunken
ness and bound him over under 50, 500
bonds for the second offense.

CONNOR'S BATTING.
Twelve Hits For Eighteen Bases in TIL
Last Seven Games.

Twelve Hits For Eighteen Bases in the
Last Seven Games.
AS far as the substitution of Doyle for
Conner is concerned, says the Sun, it is
freely admitted by Connor's friends that
Doyle up to date has done better batting.
But they argue that Connor's recent work
did not warrant his removal from the bag.
In the last seven games Conner made
twelve hits, made up of eight singles,
three doubles, and a home run. His
friends point to these figures, and then
ask why he was laid off. In the twenty
two games played by him this season he
made twenty-four hits, including fifteen
singles, seven doubles, q triple, and a
home run. In the same number of games
he made but four errors. Conner has also
driven home more runs than Ward, Muir
ply, Burke and Herman, especially in the
last ten games.
Doyle's friends claim that he can play
better first base than Conner, because he
can field ground balls to second and third
bases, and is more active in touching base
runners. They also say that Doyle is ''in
the game MORE" being n coacher and a
worker all the time. But Connor's ad-
herents say that even admitting these
points, Roger should have been kept on
first base, as he was doing as well as the
average New York player. They also
argue that Conner off the bag IS of no use
to the team, while Doyle could have been
played in either right or left field with
Just as much benefit to the team.

DIDN'T SEE THE JOKE.
MonsIsnor SatollI Took Judge Brewster's
Words Literally.

Monsignor Satolli Took Judge Brewster's
Words Literally.
The clerical and legal profession of Dan
bury are laughing over the attempt of
Judge Lyman J. Brewster to perpetrate a
joke on Monsignor Satolli when he was in
that city. The judge called at the Catho-
lie rectory at noon to pay his respects to
the papal delegate. He was shown to a
large room and found it pretty well filed
with Protestant clergymen, who had called
at the monsignor's invitation. When
Satolli entered the room Judge Brewster
arose, and noticing that there was but one
layman present, and that one himself, a
lawyer, he remarked:
you see, monsignor, there is only one
black sheep in this flock"
The papal delegate took the words
literally, and looking over the clergymen.
let his eyes rest for a moment on the face
of the Rev Mr. Hopkins, colored. pastor of
the A. M. E. Zion mission, and then urn
ed them reproachfully on the judge. with
an expression which showed his disap-
proval of joke on such subject. Judge
Brewster noticed the mistake, but could
not, of course, explain it away.

A Woman Rabbi,

A year or two ago Miss Ray Frank of
Oakland, Cal, told what she would do if
she were rabbi. It was vigorous
article-clear and unerring in its shafts
of criticism. AS she proposes to study
now for the Jewish pulpit, she will have
an opportunity to practice as well as
preach. and there is little doubt, Judging
from her literary work, that she will
prove decided addition to the Jewish
ministry. Some new influence undoubt-
edly is needed today that shall refine, up
lift and render moro spiritual the syna-
gogue life, and who would deny to the
cultured Jewess that privilege Of the
pulpit, which not every Jewish preacher
unhappily appreciates Alright? With the
appearance Of cultured women in our
synagogues, pulpits and schools new
era may be anticipated.-Jewish Mes

The Miller & Peck Go,
Fire Sale, Fire Sale.
Commencing Wednesday, May %

The Fire Underwriters have held three
sales in New York of the stock saved from
our recent fire.
The first, consisting of carpets and oil
cloths was passed by us on account of the
high prices realized, usually beyond the
price at which we own present stock of
these goods.
At the second, we were large purchasers
and everybody knows the extraordinary
values we gave at the resulting sales.
The third auction sale of our old stock
for the account of the Fire Underwriters
took place IN New York, Thursday and Fri
day of last week.
Our buyers were on the ground both
days and what passed them was unworthy
of attention. They know the stock, being
thoroughly familiar with the goods, the
original cost of the same. and how badly
damaged. Consequently they bought the
most desirable and that at about soc on a
dollar. Some people with pretty spite to
vent and a "dog in the manger" manner
followed our buyers around the auction
room and managed to pick up hatful of
goods at prices in many instances, beyond
the original cost.
They needed O cover under which to
work off their own old and miserable goods
in their belief that the glamour of Fire
Sale would blind the eyes of the public, as
it did in many instances before during a
fire sale held by the same parties. We
appreciate the advertisement they have
given our stock and we only ask the public
to keep their eyes open. compare notes,
and we are willing to abide by the results.
We will commence this sale Wednesday
morning, it being impossible to sooner
arrange the enormous quantity of goods
bought.
