Bishop Tierney's Visitation.

Bishop Tierney visited St. Joseph's church on Sunday. h spite of the threatening weather tue church was crowded, quite number of mbers of other churches being present. The exercises began with High Mass. cele- brated by Rev T. F. Bannon. the pas tor. The bishop. wearing his purple beretta, mozetta and cassock and white lace rochet, "assisted" at the Mass, and pronounced the benediction.
 At the conclusion of the Mass the bishop assumed the alb, stole. cope and -mitre, and taking his seat before the altar facing the congregation and hold iug the pastoral staff in his hand, he ad. dressed the candid ates for confrma. tion, 42 children and adults, in blair simple language suited to the tender years of most of them, but full of use ful instruction and exhortation. Con. firmation was then administered in the usual form. That is the bishop, stand ing with his hands extended toward ths candidates, prayed that they might re ceive the seven-fold gifts of the Holy Spirit, and then anointed each of tho candidates as they knelt before the raj with the consecrsted oil (chrism) saying as he did so, "N., I sign thee with tho sign of the cross. confirm thee witl the chrism of salvation, in the name O the Father. etc. Then giving ligh blow on the cheek he added, .'peace be with thee" A concluding prayer closed the ritual, which was all in the eccles iastical Latin. Revs P. Heating, o Norfolk, and P. FoxS of Newtown, as sisted the bishop.
 At the request of the bishop th' children took the temperance pledg, until they reach the age of 2l. Tn bishop expressed his gratitude t those present for attending in sucl large numbers Bendiction of tn Blessed Sacrament administered by tn bishop closed the exercises.
 The altar was tastefully adorned W itl lights, flowers and greenery, and th' music was we'll rendered.

THE ENTERTAINMENTS.

It is pretty evident that Canaan peo- pie don't care for entertainments that cost money. Of course the purely local affairs are fairly we'll patronized, such as Esther" and the band benefit minstrels, but the, poor business done by the Julisns in their three nights stay here last week clearly demonstrates that Canaan don't want good shows The Julian Comedy Go. is conceded to be the best dramatic troupe visiting Canaan and towns of it's size and their reception this season causes them to cut out Canaan from their route further this year or seasons to come. All other professional companies meet the same cold shoulder in this town and the fu- ture will probably see very few travel ling companies at the hall.
 In the year past since the Hall Julian Minstrels we have had 8 variety of professional entertainments and every one have done poor business. sTrilby," "Old Rube Tanner" Luci- CTS Minstrele, The Kickapoo Indian Show, and Dayton's Variety and Spirit ualistic Entertainment. Those are the travelling shows that lave visited us, and all to poor business. "Trilby" was undoubtedly as good 8 burlesque as ever seen and yet only corporal's guard paid the admission price. "Old Rube Tanner" on the top notch of rural plays didn't pay expenses here. Luci- er's Minstrels drew only small house. The Indian Show failed to make money and Dayton's Varieties vas poorly pstronized. The Norfolk Minstrels, not professional company. failed to do any business here until they came a second time for a band benefit. And the locally arranged variety concert two week ago. drew only a small house, those attending pronounced 1t first class. With the Julians. this list com. prises nearly all the kinds of entertain. ment in the theatrical scope, and as none were we'll received it proves to those in. terested that shows "don't go" in Ga. naan. Without doubt the Julian com. pany this year was the strongest they have ever had and their poor business during this visis will probably deprive us of the pleasure of seeing them or any other good company for some time tc come.
 Our Canaan play house has certain clientele that have attended almost everything. and to them and a good sized out-of-town patronage the show people are thankful for what suppor they have had. We will, for awhll, at least, settle down to the excitement of five o'clock teas and the silver qnes ton.
