BISHOP THERE.
New Notre Dame Church
Dedicated in Gardner.

Gardner, Nov 6.-The new Notre
Dame du Rosaire Church was formally
dedicated today by the Rt. Rev Bishop
Thomas d. Beaver of Springfield. The
bishop celebrated the $50 mass, and
the blessing of the exterior and interior
of the church was at 1890 While the
congregation stood outside the church,
Bishop Beaver and the attendant min
listers went around outside of the
church and blessed the exterior of the
building,
The bishop and priests then entered
the church and sang the litany of the
saints before the altar They then
passed around the church and the
bishop blessed the interior
A solemn high mass was celebrated
by DIR. A. e. Langevin. pastor of the
church. Rev. l.. O. Triganne OF Adams
was deacon and Rev. J. Dalphe of Wor-
cester sub deacon Bishop Beaver was
at the throne and was attended by
Rev. G. E. Bruneaut Of Holyoke as
first attendant and Rev. E. Grafton of
Fitchburg as second attendant. The
dedication sermon was delivered by
Rev. c. E. Bruneault The church
choir sang Farmers mass, with Nelson
Beaudette as director and Miss M. e.
Paquet as organist.
In the evening, at 7,S0 there was a
confirmation service. Bishop Beaver
delivered a sermon to the children At
ter the sermon the ceremony of admin
istering confirmation was performed. A
class of 100 boys and girls was con-
firmed.
The parish of the Notre Dame du Ro-
saire Church has been in existence for
Ia years. Up to 1884 all the Catholics in
town were in one parish and attended
the services at the Church of the Sa-
cred Heart. Three masses were eele-
brated each Sunday but the congrega-
ton was too large for the church, SO
a new parish was formed by the French
people. A church was erected on Mich
OILS street, near the new edifiee, and
bore the same name as the new church.
The new church was ready for occu-
pancy last winter. The first mass was
celebrated there Christmas day, but
there was no dedication ceremony I'M

EMPEROR WILLIAMS TRIP.
CFrom the London Chronicle.)


The kilograms which announce tho hol-
low splendors of the kaiser's visit to the
sultan are painful reading, especially
when we Judge them in the Eight of the
anna zing extracts from the Post and other
Influential papers which are tel agra pied
to us from Berlin. An emperor who rules
over a country less free than any Chris
tian race except the Russian has broken
through the European tradition and gone
eonspicuousy out of his way to do honor
to barbarian whose crimes against hu-
manity are as notorious as they are nor
rble. At the very moment when the am
bassadors of the other powers are at last
giving effective expression to their con-
tempt for this "unspeakable" tyrant, the
master of the most powerful army in
Europe declares himself his familiar
friend and allows his empress to walk
through Constantinople ION the suftans
arm 1t is not the first time. in recent
German policy that q cynical ,friendliness
for Turkey has been displayed. But the
present demonstration by the very fact
of its dramatic singularify, surpasses IN
effect all the former diplomatic fayorit-
ism.

EXTENDING WATER SERVICE.
Difficult Work To Be Performed by West
boro Water CommissOo ners.

Westboro, Nov Superintendent Of
the water board, Brainard Putnam. has
a gang of laborers at work on Fisher
street putting in water pipes. Until
recently the town supply of water has
run only as far as the old creamery on
Fisher street. Rufus Forbush asked
the water board to have pipes laid so
as TO carry water to his house and
barn. To do this, a great deal of work
has got to be done. The street is so
narrow in many places that the ditch
has to be dug alternately ON one side
of the wall and on the other The
stream that runs into the mill pond at
the foot of the Hill is to be damned up,
above. the mill road, and the water in
the min pond Will be drawn off so as
TO lay pipes through the bed of the
pond thus avoiding part of a necessary
rise in the land The men expect TO
complete work about the first of De-
cember.

To the Editor of The Spy;
/ feel very grateful to my young
friend McTiernan for calling my atten-
ton to the fact that he was the repub-
liean nominee; he did get about four
votes in the caucus. and either on ac-
count of his own insigniicance or the
smallness Of the vote was entirely
overlooked.
AS to my attitude ON the street rail-
way bill of 1898. it is a pleasure for me
TO say tina ] was against it at every
stage, ana am so recorded in the jour
nal OF the house of representatives.
While opposed to the bill both as in
troduced and as it passed ! blame the
obstructionists and leg-pullers who
made possible a movement in favor OF
this BILL more than I do the corporations
that sought TO protect themselves and
have the very important question Of
their relation TO the public determined
by an honorable and non bipartisan
board.
AS for the rest Of the valuable mat
ta,' in my friends communication,
leave that TO the voters 10 digest

WHERE THE DAYS BEGIN.

that these islands lie some go degrees
Of longitude west of the theoretical
date line.
This exceptional position of the
Philippines with reference to this line
is a matter to be borne in mind In
dealing with Manila time. 1t is this
position of the date line which causes
an apparent difference Of "a hours be-
tween the time Of Manila and that OF
Hong Kong, although the actual diff
ference is less than half an hour.
To end with the practical bearing
Of the points here given, in figuring
upon Manila time, as 1t will probably
come to us frequently in kilograms, we
must regard it as eleven hours slow
with reference to Washington time, as
already stated and illustrated-must
add eleven hours to the Manila time,
even though it lands us in the sue
ceeding day, as will be the case when
an event has occurred at l p. m.
Hong Kong time, on the contrary must
be treated as fast with reference to
Washington time, about 121s hours.
Thus, If we learn from a certain event,
the arrival of ship, for instance, &C.
Cured at Hong Kong at the hour OF
noon on a certain day, we are to I'M
derstand that it occurred when Wash
ington clocks indicated 1880 p. m. on
the preceding day. telegram an
nouncing the event, II sent at once,
would be received by us in the course
of an hour or less, and but for the bit
Of headwork here laid out 1t would
seem to reach us several hours before
the event occurred.

of May on the west side. and so on,
though actually it is one and the same
day.
The reason for this peculiar state OF
things is that this is the line at when,
by common consent OF the commerclal
nations, the day Is considered to begin.
1t is not easy to make perfectly clear
in few words the necessity for such
arrangement; but the mystery may be
cleared up partially in this way;
Suppose a person, starting from
Washington Sunday, were to travel
around the earth in a westerly dlrec-
ton in some magic conveyance as
rapidly as the sun in its diurnal course
travels or seems to travel in the same
direction He would accomplish the
journey in twentyfour hours. and nav
ing started on Sunday, he might be
pardoned IL he supposed it to be Sun
day all the way around-that is, II he
took no note OF tme-for the sun
would remain above the horizon
throughout the journey Yet when he
reached Washington at the end OF "a
hours it would be Monday. No doubt
about that. Clearly, at some point In
the flying journey he would have
changed his time-reckoning. He should
have said to himself: Thus far it has
been Sunday; for the rest of the trip
l will call the day Monday" Had ne
done this he would have come out all
right. The 1S0th meridian is an ex-
cellent place for making this change
since it lies almost wholly in the ocean,
where a double named day incom-
modes nobody.
Were this matter being treated here
merely in a general way, no more need
be said. But since we are speaking
with a side glance at the Philippine
islands, an important note must be
added. Although the date line is COM
monty stated to be the 18Oth meridian
of longitude, and is practically so re-
garded by navigators actually, as 1t IS
laid down on a chart 1t does not fol-
low this meridian, but it takes long

that occasionally wander along the

most gorgeous. They are tiny TEL

They have deep bodies, remarkably
short tails and long, beautifully velned

The general body color is a pearly
gray, notably delicate and irridescent.
A glistening jet-black band runs
around the head, through the eyes, and
terminates at the lower margins Of the

band is bordered on each side by a
narrow pale streak that looks lumi-

that the peerless sea-front is adorned

ington time, and allowing for the diff
ference, any one can readily ascertain
the difference between ones local
time and Manila time.
Thus far the reckoning is easy. But
now comes a very important question
which, unless 1t is answered correctly
may put us in error "a hours as 10
tho time Of occurrence-how about the
day of the month and week? This
matter is not so simple as it may seem
ut first sight, for here we must make a
correction" and unless we are clear
headed we shall make mistakes some
times. In fact, 1t makes difference,
which we must allow for, whether an
even is dated in Manila time or in
that of Hong Kong. For example,
among the cablegrams first received by
us relating to Commodore Dewey's VIC
tory In Manila bay, was one dated
Hong Kong, May 2, announcing, though
prematurely as 1t proved. the bonn
bardment Of Manila, supposed to be
then taking place. The day was then
Sunday, May /, in Manila, but in Hong
Kong it was Monday, though the ac-
tual difference in time between the
two places is less than half an hour.
What day was it, then, with US? The
answer Of this question depends upon
the location of the international date
line" The fact is well known that
there is somewhere in tht Pacific ocean
a mysterious line, upon crossing which
one must make a change in his reck-
oning of time. II he crosses 1t from
east to west day must be dropped,
II in the other direction day must
be repeated. This line is the 1S0th
meridian Of longitude east or west Of
"the prime meridian" Of Greenwich.
In other words, 1t is the meridian Of
longitude which lies half way round
the globe from Greenwich. The days
are named differently on the two sides
Of the line. When it is Sunday on the
east side 1t is Monday on the west line.
When 1t is Monday on the east side 1t
is Tuesday on the west side, and so on
through the week, and there is, OF
course, the same difference in the days
