Cooke, who was for many years with the firm of Charles Monson & Co.,, and previously with Monson & Carpenter, took place yesterday afternoon from the late resi- dence on Howe street, the house being filled with mourning friends.

po1i,s Wonderland Theater.

A fine show at the Wonderland this week is attracting large audiences of interested people. The leading comedy is "A Forgotten Combination" played by Miss Francesca Bedding and Eu- gene Moore, a bit of domestic life dur ing a storm of tempers that is very funny. George w. Day, the intelligent and bright monologist, is cleverly hit ting off the fads and fallacies of the day, also the war gaggers, and is mak- ing a sensation. The three Schrode brothers give an astonishing and anus ing acrobatic act. Hall and Staley are sure for constant laughter as the burg lars, and Golando, the modeler in clay, is very clever Others on the bills are Wilson and Leicester delightful vocal- ists; Conway and Staats and Gray and Conway.
 The biograph, a sterling feature and which pleases thousands of our people, is more interesting than ever this week.
 Prices 10 cents and 20 cents ladies in the afternoon 10 cents. Bikes checked free.

Opening Meeting for the Fall Held Yes
 terday.
 The opening meeting for the fall of the New Haven Associations of Kin dergartens was held yesterday after noon at 91 Olive street. The meeting was very largely attended and was full of interest. The association has for it's object the propagation of the kindergar- ten movement by means of lectures, the interohanging of experiences and re- ports of progress; also the advancement of the individual members by means of united study. Any person doing kin dergarten work is eligible to member ship and 1t is desired that all such join as soon as possible. Anyone not &C., lively engaged in the work but inter- ested in the movement can become an associate member and will be gladly welcomed.
 Yesterdays meeting was held for the purpose of discussing the work of the coming winter and hearing the reports of any engaged in the work. Short talks were made by quite number of those present and they were all inter- esting. Many suggestions of value to kindergartners were made and will doubtless be acted upon. It is the hope of the managers to have a series of lec- lures or single lectures upon kindergar- ten work by persons of recognized abil- ity.
 The meetings of the association are held in the afternoons at 4:15, which has proved very good hour for the majority of the members The next meeting will be held at 91 Olive street on Tuesday afternoon, November 9, at 4:15 o'clock. All who desire to become members will be welcomed at that time,

LEATHER MANS SUCCESSOR.
Oueer Tramp Who Travels Regularly Through the Western Part of the tata

Queer Tramp Who Travels Regularly
 Through the Western Part of the
 State.
 J. A. Kenyon says in the Bristol Press: John Brennan, tramp, was Tn town yesterday.
 When that strange, ncommunlcatlVe character, the leather man. gave up his wanderngs through Connecticut to journey in the unknown world he was succeeded by John Brennan, tramp of nowhere in particular, but where night OCT takes him. The old leather man was a character to attract any ones interest. The former could talk, but sell dom would. The latter would talk, but seldom can, owing to some aff1lctlon which makes it a difficult task for him to speak words of more than one sylla- ble. This is probably due to stroke of paralysis affecting his vocal organs.
 Brennan, unlike the leather man, is native of Ireland, and is about fifty five or sixty years of age. When asked how long he had been travelling he with diff ficulty made it known that his wander ings had been for years. He appeared unable to state how often he made his circuit, which by the way, varies from four to six months. Arrived in South ington, he never fails to call on Mrs. O.. D. Woodruff also at Southworth's s pharmacy, from where he invariably departs with couple of good cigars. At Plantsville he calls at Heinrich s barber shop, where his stock of tobac- co is further replenished He generally f1. 1,,tf xIyif Il, whom he was unable to tell.
 Yesterday he had started from Plain vile. He wore a Prince Albert coat underneath two ragged overcoats. Sev- era1 pairs of trousers covered his legs, while a tippet circled his neck. No matter whether it be hot or could, he is alway dressed much after the order de- scried. Over one shoulder he carried a sack containing a half dozen bundles of clothing. A heavy hickory club, fully two inches in diameter, he used as a walking stick. The unusual size of his "cane' was due to dogs" he said. It took him fully ten minutes to make known his circuit. and then he was aid- ed by the questioner, for some of the towns visited could only be spoken by him after much effort. From here he will go to Waterbury. From there through Naugatuck valley towns to Derby. Shelton, Woodbury, Newtown, New Milford and up the Housatonic to Kent, there, crossing to Norfolk, Wins ted, New Hartford, Collinsville, Avon, Pennington and Plainville. For years he has thus travelled, and will thus con- tinue to migrate until. like the leather man, death ends his journeying of the Connecticut circuit.

 The New Britain Herald says: "The announcement that Paul Thompson, Yale, 1901, has been secured to coach the Meriden High school football team, has aroused the conviction among the friends of the high school boys in this city that the same advantage should be provided for them. The local eleven is one of the best the school has had in this stage of the game, and it is to be hoped that a chance to get the Yale cup back is not to be lost because of lack of coaching. The matter is now being agitated, and it is hoped that the secur- ing of a capable tutor will be the re- suit"

 Yesterdays Waterbury American says: "James Buchanan, young man well known in this section, left to-day for New Haven, where he will take a course in the Yale Law school He was accompanied to the station by 8 number of his friends, who gave him 8 good send-off.

FORTIFICATIONS AT PLUM IS- LAND

The second founda tion on Plum Is land has been begun and is now well un der way. A large force of Italians with derricks and tubs are digging out an emplacement. To the ordinary civilian the manner in which the supplements are dug would be somewhat of a sur prise A hole hundred feet deep has already been excavated.
 The nature of the island makes the digging very easy and the work is pro- gressing rapidly. The new fertilization is about a mile away from the one al- ready completed, and is almost at the eastern extremity of the island.
 The work of mounting the second ten inch rifle in the finished fertilization is now being done. The gun has already been put on the carriage, but the mounting is not yet completed. The ri- fled gun tested the other day has been coated with grease to prevent it from rusting.
 The Italian settlement on the island is quite a curiosity in itself, there being forty or fifty huts of different sizes to accommodate the men. Plum Island is a very interesting place to visit, but it is against orders for any one who has no business there to be on the island.
 CATHOLICISM IN NEW ENGLAND.
 The Catholic Review figures out a marked gain for Catholicism in New England, and comments on it as fol- lows In those six states they had 734,- 605 conmunicants in 1890 out of total church membership of 1069, POP; or in other words. the Roman Catholics were more than all the Protestants by 34,000 In Massachusetts and Rhode Island they comprised about two-thirds of the whole number of communicants. In Connecticut they were nearly one-half; and even Vermont, formerly almost wholly Protestant, they were two-fifths of the total membership. In every New England state they were at least the most numerous of the religious com munions The preponderance of Ro- man Catholics in New England, once the very citadel of Professionalism, is due. of course, to the great immigration of recent years; but it has also occurred evidently because of the falling off of religious faith and convictions among the Protestant population. In 1890 only one-uuarter of the inhabitants were of foreign birth, and probably at least one-quarter of these were Protestants by rearing; yet nearly three-fifths of the whole church membership was Ro- man Catholic.
