4 Scene from Lies Stage.

All the world a stage" The actors
DO not all know the parts they are going
TO act until after the curtain goes down.
II was the reproduction of an act from
lifes drama that was presented TO the at
PENDANTS upon the session OF the superior
court. Saturday.
A crowd had been drawn to CITY hall
where Judge Hall is holding the Novem-
Der term OF the kennebec county superior
court. by the rumor that sensational de
velopments We're to ensue IN the suit
brought by Nassalboro man for divorce
from his wife. 1t was during a recess
taken in the case that the audience was
given another view or scene from the
stage of life. An old man. bent with
years of hard and honest toll his age -
years. last January, was called to the
presence OF the court and asked to tell
ms story for he, too. had asked for Il
divorce from his wife, aged Sc years.
He was "A quaint old fellow. both III APP
pearance and speech. and smile swept
over the audience as he began to tell the
thos who lapsed into sober and sym
pathetic attention and interest when the
old man in faltering tones told of how he
had delved hard IN the world of hardship.
had paid for his little farm and saved
500 or more by working in the woods and
on the drive. had been the father of
nine children. all living but one. and
then how the Wife with whom ire had
never had a quarrel in all their married
life. succeeded in getting him to deed the
property to her. and then one day when
flt WAS AWAY on the drive. had taken all
the property. including several cows the
morse. the farming tools furniture and
the $500 and left for a distant town.
The only things the old man found upon
his return home that night. was n bed
and his old arm chair one daughter had
accompanied the mother the rest of the
children were scattered far and wide. and
none of them seemed to care for the old
man. The audience became intensely in
terested in the old mans tale for il was
something out OF the ordinary. this tinge
of romance in lives so well advanced in
years. In reply TO question by the
court as to the probable cause of the
wHe's action, the old man replied:
Il don't know sir. unless she thought
she could do better. But | have mana ged
to do fairly We'll in the three years that
she has been gone. have saved a little
of something
When the wife had left him. after TAX
ing from him all that he had strived to
win for his own ana for her leaving him
at Y years of age to begin life anew. he
had resoutely set to work again in the
old way, determined that he should not
become an object of charity. ana he was
still fighting the good fight and win

1t was story that all who heard will
remember. and il cannot BE that there
was one among the spectators that did
not wish for the old man easier lines
in the continuation of his part in the
drama of life. and that when at last the
curtain is rung down at the close of the
last scene. he will have won the applause
of all who know him and have watched
him through the acts.

The New Catholic Rector.

Rev. Dr. Thomas J. Conaty. rector of
the church Of the Sacred Heart Worces-
ter, Mass, who has been appointed to
succeed Bishop Jot ]. Keane as rector
Of the Catholic university at Washing
| ton, ID. c.. is a man about 40 years OF
| age he was born in Ireland but was
brought up in this country and is an
| American citizen He was educated at
| the College of the Holy Cross. conducted
| in Worcester by the Jesuits, and later
| spent eight years at the Troy seminary
I of the archdiocese of New York. Since
| then he has been rector of his church in
1 Worcester and has been at the head of
| the Catholic Summer school at Platts-
| burg for several years. DIR. Conaty is the
| publisher OF weekly paper called the
Catholic School Gazette and is regarded
as a firm supporter of the parochial
schools. He is a man of much learning
and in 1859 was given the degree of doctor
of divinity by the Jesuit university at
Georgetown He is deep thinker and a
man in every way well equipped to be
the head of the university.
DIR. Conaty is identified with the con-
servative school of thought, although he
has not taken such an active part in the
discussions as to render himself obnoX-
sound learning and philosophy. and
schooled in the theology of ST. Thomas
Aquinas. he was recommended to Car
dinal Satolli two years ago. and the lat
ter visited his summer school al Platts-
burg last year He was charmed with
DR.. Conaty and said that he was the
very man to he at the head of the Catho-
lie university.
The night before he sailed for Europe
Cardinal Satolli announced at a recep-
tion given 10 him in Brooklyn that his
choice for the rectorship was DR.. Conaty.
This removed all fear of the directors
that the new rector would not be In
cluded in this list. and they headed it
with the name of DIR. Conaty. whose Sc
lection was probably urged by Cardinal
Satoili to Pope Leo XIII.
While Dr. Conaty represents the con-
servative party. he has always been
friend of Bishop Koane and the latter
has frequently lectured al his school. Dr.
Conaty is also well known as strong
temperance man, and has frequently lee
tured throughout the country on this
subject. He studied theology under the
Sulpcians in Montreal.
The Very Rev. DR.. Mooney. vicar gem
eral Of New York who is the SECOND
choice. is the pastor of the Church of the
Sacred Heart of Mary. He is about the
age of Dr. Conaty. and was educated al
St. Johns college. Fordham, y. V, col
lege of the Jesuits.
The victory Of the conservative element
in the church is complete. Their position
was iictically unassailabe backed as
they were by Cardinal Satolli. and sup
ported by the letter of Leo NIL. asking
for Bishop keanes resignation. The Sc
lection of DR.. Conaty emphasizes the
fact that Archbishop Corrigan was IN
high favor at Rome. The pendulum
swung from the one extreme almost to
the other. and there is no doubt now that
the university will pass from the control
of the liberals to that of the conservative
party.

The Fire Inquest.

A fire inquest was held by the NUM-
cipal officers in the Office of City Marshal
McFadden. Saturday for the purpose of
lnquiring into the cause of the fire that
occurred in the basement of Spaulding' S
book store. Thursday.
Mr.. Spaulding was present and stated
that the fire was caused by the overturn-
ing OF a Kerosene lamp. as stated in the
journal. Friday morning. The lamp set
hre to some loose straw and other light.
infiammable matter Mr.. Spaulding was
not able to state the amount of the dam
age to his stock, but said he had goods
to the value of $500 and he carried an
insurance of $500. His damage in the
basement amounted to $S04. but he could
not tell how much his stock in the store
was damaged from discoloration and the
smoke odor in the goods. The value of
the building was set at $4,000. on which
there is an insurance of $4,000. and it was
estimated that the damage to the build
ing would not exceed $25.
The municipal officers were satisfied
from the evidence that the fire was the
result of an accident just as Mr. Spauld-
ing had stated.
