Well, but how comes it that you
think the ''Grotto of jeremiah" is
Golgotha Firt. the "Grotto of Jerc-
miah'' is simply stupid translation,
altogether faulty, of the Arabic word
by which this remarkable city was
called. That Arabic word means
':the rent" Let us pause for mo-
ment to note that crucifixion was not
Il Jewish mode of death. "Stoning"
was the appointed mode OF death for
criminals, and it was to be "without the
camp"-in later times, "without the
city wall" Then arises the question,
Was there any appointed place" out
side the wall of Jerusalem at this time?
The Talmud, with other Jewish au-
thorities, written A. D. $50, asserts
that this So called "Jeremiah's Grotto"
was "the place of stoning," therefore
the place where our Lord was done to
death.

1t was beautifully said by Lord Ba-
con in one of his Essays: The first
creature of God in the works OF the
days was the light of the sense; the
last was the light OF reason; and his
sablath-work ever since is the illumi-
nation of his spirit. Certainly it
is heaven upon earth to have Il man 5
mind move in charity, rest in provi-
dence. and turn upon the poles of
truth.
The Churches have done much to
inculcatc the precepts OF charity, even
when they have themselves violated
its spirit They have also been the
authorized teachers of Il belief in Prov
idelIce and OF the wisdom of submitting
cheertullv to its DEGREES. But as re-
CARDS 1.-THE poles of truth, 50 much
cannot be said. Yet this is the lila
mination to which the great philosopher
refers: the full enlightenment of the
whole man. Systems of theology may
be true or false, but no one can be sure
which are right and which wrong, or
whether there are any that are abso-
lutely The one or the other, because all
these rest upon the uncertain basis OF
mataphy Except in Il few essen
tials even morality differs from age to

Eternal Spirit. TO turn upon the

OF the highest intelligence.
1t is the rcproach OF the Churches
and their creeds that they are too mar

broad Il line of dcmarcatiun between
what is religion and what secular. re-

FADS IN MEDICINE.

There are ads in medicine as in
every thing else and "new thing"
frequently sells for short time SIM
ply because it is new. But in medi-
cine, as in nothing else, the people de-
mand and will be satisfied only with
positive, absolute merit. The fact that
Hoods Sarsaparilla has stood its
ground against all competition, and its
sales have never wavered but have re-
maiued s1eadily at the tor, demon
strates, beyond any doubt, the intrin-
sic virtures of this medicine. The
new things have come and gone but
Hoods Sarsaparilla rests upon the
solid foundation of absolute merit and
its power to cure, and its sales continue
to be the largest in the world.

"A BREEZY TIME"

spicy Variety Performance VIII BE Offered
mt the Opera House Tonight.
Fitz and Webster will be seen at the
Pawtucket Opera House the first three
nights of this week In "A Breezy Time"
Variety is the spice OF life, and "A Breezy
Time" Is accordingly extremely lively, for
1t is full of variety. 1t Ia piece that
must not be looked at seriously. It's in
tended to dissipate care, and I'm furtherance
OF this purpose the manager has engaged
the very best performers that appeared In
farce comedy during the last two years,
and at their head are Kathryn Webster
and Il. Il. Fitz, two players that are easily
foremost In their respective lines. Mr..
Fitz Is comedian that belongs to the
Mestayer- George Fortesque school, but ne
has branched out on his own lines and has
made great deal OF laughter by his
peculiar and convulsing methods OF play
ing. I'm "A Breezy Time" he is well fitted
for the part. Miss Webster Is also interest
ing, both from a vocal and histrionic
standpoint.

JOHN F. CONNOLLY DEAD.
END CAME VERY SUDDENLY THIS
MORNING AT VALLEY FALLS.
Although Sufferer From Diabetes He Was
Attending to His Duties Saturday.

One Of the most prominent of the young
or Democrats of the Blackstone Valley
passed away this morning in the prime Of
life and his place in many of the societies
in which he took lively interest will be
difficult to fill. This morning at II 80
John F. Connolly died at his home on Eli
street, Valley Falls, aged 81 years.
Mr.. Connolly was prominent as Cath
olic churchman and a member OF nearly all
the societies connected with his church.
He was the first president Of the Catholic
Institute of Valley Falls and member OF
the following organizations: Court Lilly
of the Blackstone, F. of A.; Delaney Coun-
Gil, knights of Columbus; Kane Branch,
c. X. of A, and Cumberland Hook and
Ladder Company.
Mr.. Connolly was prominent in the local
politics of his vicinity and was candidate
for School Committee on the Democratic
ticket years ago. He was engaged at the
time of his death in the insurance business
and was formerly employed at the Horse
Shoe Works. The cause of death was dia-
betes. The deceased leaves wife and
three children.

was simply convicted of being thief in

then reinstated I'm the esteem of his asso-

THE LEGISLATURE
January Session Will Open
Tomorrow Morning.
Little Business to Be Considered
and Adjournment Will Be Early
Comnlssloner on Revenue Of State viii Make
Rep0rt-Bond Issue Not to Be Advised.

The January session Of the General AS
sembly will begin tomorrow forenoon at
II o'clock and the indications are that the
first installment of legislation for 1897 will
be OF short duration. 1t is barely possible
that at the end of the first week an ad-
journment will be taken for a recess that
will last until after the State election for
the usual very obvious reasons. However
there never was session yet but what In
advance the general prediction has been
that 1t would be short, and 1t is equally
true that nine times out of ten the predic-
tion proves to be anywhere from a week to
month out of the way.
The joint special commission on the rev.
enue of the state, which was appointed q
year ago to provide an Offset to the finan-
cial scare created by Governor Lippitt will
report at this session. They will not rec
ommend bond issue but undoubtedly will
suggest wholesome revision of the stat
utes relative to taxes with a view to in
creasing the revenue which may be de-
pended on from year to year without re-
course to emergency methods such as the
advance sale of tax assignment orders.
The report of the commission will treat
Of the needs of the State on five-year
basis, and all departments have been re-
quested to furnish estimates Of their re-
quirement for that period.
This Is the last session during which
Samuel Ward King Allen will preside as
speaker of the House. 1t is his third year.

ments for the ball to be given by Delaney
Council, knights of Columbus, held their
final meeting on Saturday evening, and
after q session lasting nearly three hours

ladies taking part iu the grandImarch. Tho
list of invited guests, with possibly one or
two additions, will be as follows: His

OPERA HOUSE p
BURGLARIZED
An Entrance Was Effected
at an Early Hour
This Morning.
The Discovery Was Made By
PatrOlman Porritt While on
Rounds About z O'Clock.
MONEY AND TICKETS TAKEN.

the Surroundlngs-Th Police Are at
MONEY AND TICKETS TAKEN.
Evidently the Work Of People Familiar With
the Surroundlngs-The Police Are at
z Work on the Case.

Another robbery took place at an early
hour this morning, and the manager of
the Pawtucket Opera House Is minus be-
tween $50 and $40 in consequence.
Shortly before 2 o'clock this morning
officer Porritt while patroling his beat,
which includes Broad street from Main to
the depot, tried the front doors of the
Opera House and found one of them open.
He notified the station and aroused Man
ager A. A. Spitz, who Is q guest of the
Benedict House.
An investigation was then made, and it
was found that the theatre had been en-
tered by the front door and the window Of
the box Office, through which the tickets
are sold, had been forced open. The
thieves took bag containing about $40,
the results of the advance sales for Fitz
and Webster this evening. The bag was
kept hanging in closet In the box Office,
and the sales of advance tickets are put In
it to keep the amount separate from the
daily sales. In addition to the money
number of tickets were taken for future
performances,
Further investigation disclosed the fact
that an attempt had been made to enter
Manager Spitz's private Office located on
the second floor, from the outside. A
hole had been cut from the outside OF the
window SO that the latch of the sash could
be shot back and the window opened, but
for some reason an entrance had not been
made this way.
Manager Spitx said this morning that he
considered himself fortunate in not los
ing much larger sum as had the robbery
taken place on Monday night when the
pay roll is made up and left In the box
Office, he would have been out from $50 to
500 I'm addition to the sales made in ad
vance.
In nfuture no money will be kept i'm the
theatre. Mr. Spitz said 1t would be diff
cult for an officer or passerby to detect
anyone at work In the lobby after the
theatre was closed, owing to the placing
Of billboards just inside the front doors.
He declined to say who the suspected par
ties were, other than that they were ap
parently familiar with the house and that
he did not suspect any of his present en-
ployes.
The case Is in charge of Detective Haber-
lin, and the police are following out sew
eral clues, one of which causes them to
suspect parties from Central Falls. The
police departments of Providence, Central
Falls and neighboring cities were notified
early this morning and the railroad depots
and electric car lines leading out of this
city and Providence are being closely
watched as there are one or two parties
who will be called upon by the police to
explain their whereabouts last night.
Manager Spitz has had new tickets
printed for future use and so the tickets
taken are worthless to the holders, unless
they have sold them to innocent persons
and thus realized upon.

SOCIALISTIC LABOR PARTY
MEETING OF THE TON
WAS HELD LAST EVENING.
Interesting Address Made by Sidney II. Sher.
man of Providence Discussion Followed.

The Socialist Labor Party held their reg
ular weekly meeting in the Cottrell block
last evening and the meeting was fairly
well attended. One of the local officers, in
introducing the speaker Of the evening,
said in part:
"The results we were told to look for after
election have not come to pass, and the
condition of the workingmen Of the coun-
try today is alarming. In Chicago there
are 5000 families on the verge of starva-
tion, and it Is reported that 177,OO0 are out
of employment in New York. 1t is mis-
trken idea that all of these are out of en-
ployment because they desire to be-"
After commenting on the criticism that
had been made regarding the holding of
meetings on Sunday evenings, the speaker
introduced Sidney II. Sherman Of Provi-
dence.
Mr.. Sherman's remarks showed the re-
suit of q thorough reading and investiga-
ton of his subject which was regarding
the objections to Socialism. The speaker
said that in many cases comments made
regarding the movemene were made
through ignorance of the principles in
volved. He discussed the following OBJ
iections which had been advanced to So
cialism: 'sThat Ii would result in the
overthrow of society" "That riot and
general distrust would follow its introduce
tion." "It was not practicable and was
impossible" "That it did not tend to in
dividual freedom" and many others.
zone of the many mistaken ideas re-
garding Socialism was the fact that many
confused il with Communism" and the
speaker explained the wide difference in
the theories OF the two and expressed the
opinion that Communism was the result
of thorough belief in some deep relig-
ious principle introduced by some one
more or less magnetic and more or less
honest in his belief. In his opinion Social
ism was the practical application Of Chris
tianity. II was the principles Of brother
hood and equality applied to everyday
life. The present conditions of industry
did not tend to benefit the individual
Mr.. Sherman referred to the present con-
! dition of the laboring classes and the
country i'm general. Socialism offered q
way out and one by which man be free
| the alternative was despotism. Was So
cialism premature? The speaker thought
not. Regarding the objection to Social
| ism on the grounds that It would lead to
| easy times and i'm consequence over-popu-
lation, the speaker said that population
| did not increase with civilization and used
France as an illustration OF this fact. The
speaker was listened to with close atten-
tion during the progress OF his remarks.

Alvin Webster, aged 2s, was arrested this
morning on board OF the schooner John
Douglas in Providence on complaint OF
Sheriff L. F. Cooper of Ellsworth, Me-, on
