COMPANY G HOME.
Attended Silver Anniversary Mass at the Immaculate Conception Church.

the Immaculate Conception Church.
 Company G, c. N. G., arrived home yesterday morning at 0:30 o'clock af- ter q weeks stay at the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo. Of course the boys were tired; still all were i'll good health and spirits and made stun ming appearance on their way to the armory. They were accompanied by several prominent citizens, including. the Rev w. J. Slocum of the Immacu- late Conception parish, who met the soldier boys at the exposition, later in New York, and was so pleased with the showing the company made on the grounds and the excellent conduct of all it's members that he decided to accompany them home. The company attended the last mass at the Immacu- late Conception church, and for the first time since he came to Waterbury Father Slocum celebrated this mass, and in his sermon paid n glowing trib- ute to the showing made at the eXpo- sition by the Connecticut militia i'll general and Company c In particular. As the military men with solemn tread entered the church, Professor Bonn was seated at the organ, and he gave the men surprise by making the organ peal forth the inspiring strains of "Hail Columbia, Htlppy Land" At the conclusion of the mass as the military men were retiring as the military men were retiring Prof Bonn played the Stars and Stripes" Father Slocum told Democrat report CT that he always felt proud of being Connecticut man and that this feel ing was intensified after he saw her sons at Buffalo. Father Slocum is m ardent admirer of military men, any way, and he has the good fortune of being loved in return by every man in Waterbury who at any time wore the livery of Uncle Sam, as well as by those who never donned the blue or shouldered n musket in any cause. It is a nice thing to be able to win the esteem of ones fellow men and hold 1t. This is something which Father Slocum is capable of doing without aparent effort in that direction on his own part. He does not accomplish it by fiattery, for it is a well-recognized fact that he invariably gives expres- sion to what he believes to be right without waiting to find out how it might be regarded by others. This coupled with his respect for the opin- ion of those who differ from him goes good way towards giving him the high place he occupies in the minds of all who know him.
 As stated in Saturdays Democrat, June 9 marked the 25th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood, and his parishioners were preparing to ten der him a big reception, but as soon as he learned of what was going on he ordered all arrangements with that end In view postponed indefinitely and left for the seminary where the dig nity of the priesthood was conferred upon him. We'll, never mind. Wait until Father Slocum's golden anniver- sary comes around, and then, perhaps, his friends may have learned how to keep secret and be able to give him a surprise. So far this is feat which many have tried. but no one has been able to accomplish.

CHINESE TEAcUPS.
They Are Rapidly Growing in Favor
in Western Countries.

They Are Rapidly Growing In Favor
in Western Countries.
Although it is several centuries since
Occidentals adopted Chinese tea as a
daily beverage 1t is only Of late that
they have begun to use the Chinese tea
service. Like all Mongollan institu-
tions, it is the opposite of our own. The
service consists of metal stand in
which rests large cup. Over the cup
fits q saucer and alongside of 1t is sta
toned little cup scarcely larger than
an egg. The metal stand is of brass or
bronze, though wealthy mandarins use
silver and even gold. The large cup
should be of the handsomest porcelain.
1t is very rarely plain. The commonest
variety have a MONOCHROME field on
which are enameled leaves and flowers
in color. Another beautiful variety is
made of crackle ware, on whose sur
face is wreathed a bronze dragon.
Swatow cups are generally decorated
with little crabs, dishes. beetles or To-
Gusts in natural color and high relief,
while Marking cups are tinged with
sang de boeuf, imperial blue, or impe-
rial yellow. The saucer should be of
the same material according to the
tastes of the owner.
The service is placed before the
guests at the beginning of the meal. A
small quantity of tea leaves is thrown
into the large cup, covered with boil
ing water. To keep the steam in the
saucer is inverted over the cup. 1t is
allowed to stand for two minutes and
then the guest holding the large cup
with the thumb and middle finger and
guiding the saucer with the forefnger,
strains and pOurs the fluid into the lit
tie cup. 1t seems simple, but until per-
son has practiced repeatedly it is very
difficult task. The average Occidental
scalds his fingers and drops the tea on

EAGLE FIGHTS A MAN.
Fierce Attack on Maine Farmer by
Big Feathered Robber.

Fierce Attack on a Maine Farmer by a
Big Feathered Robber.
One Of the flercest battles between
man and bird of which there Is any re-
cord in Maine took place the other day
in Washington county barnyard.
Rufus Berry, of East Machias, and an
eagle of great size were the combat
ants.
The eagle, whose wings measured
eight feet from tip to tip, had previously
visited the barnyard and carried off one
of the farmers sheep and had returned
for more mutton when Berry happened
to be around with gun handy.
Berry's first shot knocked the big
bird over and thinking the eagle was
dead he ran to secure his prize, That
was where Farmer Berry made a great
mistake. No sooner had he touched
the bird than 1t rose upon him. clawing
and pecking ferceay at his eyes and face
and finally sinking its talOns deep into
the flesh of his arm, so that although
more than willing to call it draw, he
could not get out of the ring.
For half an hour Berry stood the
pecking and clawing and gouging and
the fearful beating of the eagles wings
and then backing up to fence he man
aged to get hold Of club with which
he killed the bird.
The eagle was mounted by Bangor
taxidermist and sold to a milwaukee,
man, who placed it In a museum
Eagles are common In the eastern and
northern parts Of Maine and when at
tackled are very fierce.
