BISHOP BEAVEN.
He Officiated At Church of
Holy Name of Jesus.

Elaborate ceremonies marked the SER
vices at the Church of the Holy Name
of Jesus, yesterday. and it was an
eventful day in the history of that par
ish. In the afternoon, a class of nearly
one hundred children were confirmed
by Bishop Beaver, and in the evening
the new parish hall was opened to the
public for the first time, During the day
the parish had as it's guests many of
the prominent priests of the diocese,
and the services were performed with
all the full pomp and ceremony of the
Catholic church.
In the morning a solemn high mass
was said, Rev. Joseph Brouillet offici-
ating. Rev. j. A. Dalpe acted as deacon
and Rev. L. e. Barry of West Gardner
was ubdeaeon. Bishop Beaver
preached the sermon. At 230 o'clock
the class was confirmed by the bishop,
after which benediction took place,
when Rev. A. Lamy of Spencer officiat-
ed. After benediction, the new parochiaI
school was blessed by the bishop.
After supper, served in the rectory.
the guests attended concert in the new
hall. Among the speakers were Rev. J.
p. Perreault, Bishop Beaver, Mayor r.,
b. Dodge and Mr.. Eli Bouchard.

In Memoriam.

Above all the ceremonies men pay to
dead mems clay that gives back to
earth all it's own is the tribute of appre-
citation and affection of the foremost
man of the nation who tells the story
of what makes true glory and the true
life of man. Chivalric honor and devo-
ton to the stars of@pur flag that cry
Come" and the beckoning stripes that
lead on even unto death
+ Comrades used TO scenes of strife sat
enthralled, for before their mental Wis
ion comes the white winged angelic
host with trumpet call, every note of
which is Love, love, love" Out of the
thraldom of war, out of the memories of
blood, their vision beholds the prince of
peace, with outstretched hands crying
Mine own, my beloved, who wear the
martyrs crown, to whom tits given to
be with me at home in Heaven. Out of
the motherhood and fatherhood of I'M
dying love, out of the sacredness of
pilghted faith and affection, who see
through the prism of falling tears the
IRIS OF the rainbow hues, the beautiful
and the beloved-a consolation and
sanctification of the immortal to balm
the wounds of mortal hearts,"
Ere the evening Sunday flag goes
down from the citadel of the nations
school of the science of war. the last
rites and honors only due to those who
have passed through its gates will be
paid by the loving comrades, to one who
was their pride, their leading guide
their example for emulation. The en-
during marble viii keep his name in
the national cemetery of fame until it
shall crumble into dust, and then the
love and devotion to the flag of our
country will CLEAN above, and star his
grave.
The reveille of glory beats on the cam
pus of the citadel of honor, whose
stamp OF all the best there is in man
passes current throughout the world.
whose word is a covenant under seal Of
truthfulness that once stained, is dis
hohofed forever. The martyrs blood
washed out all the dross of earth and
purified the soul of the celestial camp
above, whose flag is the glorified stars
of love. :

ToNIoHT,s PLAYS.

A good legitimate comic opera, with
a consistent plot and musicianly if
light music is enough of a rarity these
days to be remarkable. Such, though,
is said to be ''The Chorus Girl" which
comes to the Worcester Theatre to-
night, heralded by notices of fiattering
triumphs elsewhere. Burt Haverly and
Mary Young head the company of 40
people, and the opera will be given
under the personal direction of the
author and composer, Emerson Cook
and Charles Dennee.
The curiosity regarding the new Park
Theatre would be of itself sufficient to
crowd the beautiful playhouse at its
regular opening today, even had the
management not prepared an attractive
vaudeville bill for the occasion. The war
views of the biOgraph will no doubt di-
vide first claim for attention among the
entertainers with Mr.. and Mrs. A. G.
Sidman, the headliners on the list, but
there are enough other good numbers
to insure two and half hours worth of
solid pleasure.
Patriotism will run riot this week at
Lothrop's, where "Cuba's Vow" the
melodramatic success of last season,
will be produced for a second time AS
Harley Merry. the noted scenic artist
owns the piece, the main requisition for
a melodrama, realistic scenic effects is
sure to be provided in the most sump-
tuous degree. A clever company Of
emotional and comedy actors will inter-
pref the drama.

ROOSEYELT IN 1900e

There is time for dozen presidential
boo1ns to wax and wane before 1900, and
it would be childish to set great store by
the present popularity of Theodore
Roosevelt as indicative of his chances
in the next republican national eonven-
ton. That a very large number, poss bly,
a majority of Americans, would delight
to see him elevated to the presidency
need hardly be said. His popularity eX-
tends beyond party lines.
There are, however. certain obvious
obstacles to the candidacy of Col.
Roosevelt, the first of which is the pre-
sumed intention to renominate Presi-
dent Mckinley for a second term. Re-
cent precedent is rather against the re-
election of president. both Cleveland
and Harrison having been defeated
after serving their first term; yet it is
to be remembered, ON the other hand,
that when James G. Blaine was nom
mated and defeated, there were not
wanting critics who said that if Presi-
dent Arthur had been taken in his
stead, he might have been elected. A
sharp contest between Roosevelt and
Mckinley for the presidential nominal
ton is to be deprecated as harmful and
possibly fatal to republican prospects.
Col. RooseVelt's eligibility for the
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1898-11-14

nomination will depend largely upon his
conduct as governor of New York. In
spite of all the commentator which he
has won as civil service commissioner,
as police commissioner, as a soldier and
as man of force and independence, he
is nevertheless distrusted by many as
too eccentric, headstrong and aggress-
i've to be an altogether safe executive.
Especial emphasis is given to these OBJ
jections because of his so-called i'm
perialist views. The SOLDERING influence
of responsibility, however, has received
significant demonstration, in the last
two or three years. Presidents, COVER
nors ard parties have proved much
more conservative when elevated to
power, than they We're when they con-
stituted only the opposition" to the
existing administration and a similar
expectation might be entertained in the
case of Roosevelt. Moreover, it is prob
able that within the next year, the
policy of the United States regarding
the Spanish colonies will be shaped and
determined, either in accordance with
Roosevelt's views or against them, and
in that event imperialism would be-
come a dead issue in the selection of
candidate.
But in any case. it is not to be for
gotten that the politicians have as
much to do as the people with the nom
nation of presidential candidates, and
Roosevelt has not been much in favor
among the party leaders. Votes are
what they look for primarily Before he
left his desk as assistant secretary of
the navy to lead the rough riders up
San Juan hill, he seemed to have been
as completely shelved as a public man
could be. His popularity as "the man
on horseback first gave him his prom
inence as candidate for governor of
New York, but that would not have
been sufficient to encourage his nom
ination, His record as a fearless public
administrator not bound in servile sub
lection to party rule, had given him
claims to the independent vote and
made him seem exceptionally strong as
a vote getter.
1t is true, this strength was sacrificed
by his subsequent association with
Thomas c. Plat, and the early decline
of his election prospects was directly
chargeable to this alliance, but he has
an opportunity to regain his lost pres
tige. If his behavior as governor proves
that he is the Theodore Roosevelt of
old, and not the vassaI Of Platt, he can
depend upon regaining much of the
support which he has lost. If he Should
succeed in this so conspicuously as to
seem to be wonderful vote-getter he
might become a very formidable rival
to Mckinley in 1900. Yet in view of the
curious complexity of New York poll
tics, it is far from impossible that his
administration as governor will create
complications that will utterly destroy
whatever presidential prospects he may
have
