MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
Gaelic Pupils Now Able to Read and
 Write Irish Language.

The Gaelic Literary society is con- sidering plans for the requirement of permanent quarters centrally located which will be open to all who speak the Celtic tongue as well as those who believe in the movement for the prop ogation of the language, literature and music of Ireland With this end in view the society has decided to raise the funds necessary to secure desir- able rooms and in order to help along the work they have inaugurated an associate members list at an annual cost of S1 year. Any good citizen is eligible to membership. The menl- berS have made wonderful strides during the past year ii acquiring q knowledge of the Irish language. Some of them who knew practically nothing about it when the society was formed can carry on conversation in Gaelic now almost as well as if they had been talking it all their lifetime. In this as in most other races where the fair sex enter into competition with the men folks, the women have come i'll ahead. Half dozen or more girls who came from the old country and could speak the language, but couldn't read or write q word of 1t
  studies that they are able to render valuable assistance to beginners. Of these are young women who had a good English education when they en- tered the class and those who have been wrestling with the language claim that it does not take such per- sons long to master it. There is q lot of people i'll Waterbury who can talk Irish but who cannot read it. IT the committee can put themselves iii touch with these parties they will find little difficulty in inducing them to be- come associate members. Others will lend a hand, too, for there are many who never expect to learn the lan- guage, who like the idea of seeing the young people take hold of it here as well as in other places, and will want to encourage those who are engaged in the work.

TRAINING SCHOOL EVENING
Graduating Exercises Were Held at
 Assembly Hall Last Night.


 Assembly Hall Last Night.
 It was a large and appreciative au- dience that attended the first gradua- tion exercises of the Waterbury Train ing school which we're held in the High school assembly hall last night. The sixteen young lady members of the class were seated in a semi-circle on the stage during the evening. The decorations were pretty.
 The exercises were of a most inter- esting nature. They were brief, which is rare thing with graduation exercises. The essays by the four young ladies showed deep learning on their part and a thorough knowledge of the difficult subjects on which they spoke. Clear enunciation and splen- did diction marked. the reading of each essay. Intermixed among the essays were musical numbers which well de- served the applause they received.
 After the last number of the pro- gram had been rendered, diplomas were presented to the sixteen young ladies by Dr E. W. Goodenough of tbe board of education who complimented the graduates on their splendid work during the evening. Miss Adelaide V. Finch is principal of the school and the work of the pu- pills reflects much credit on her able management. The program last night was as follows:

Observations Concerning Those Who
 Refuse to Walk Under Ladders.


 Refuse to Walk Under Ladders.
 There was a long ladder doing ser vice in front of one of the Asylum street stores, early yesterday morning, says the Hartford Courant. 1t was so placed that passers could walk un- der it easily, while it took some pains to walk around it on the outside of the curb. Uncle Jim, a colored man employed in the neighborhood, took particular pains to walk around the ladder, and the man walking behind him asked him why he lodged it.
 You bet yer life I doan' walk un- deh no ladder. I'm hoodooed bad enough now'
 sSo you're superstitious, are you?' interrogated the inquisitive man.
 .'Call it anything you want to. l doan' walk under no ladder, an ain't the only one. Lock at them fellers."
 The inquisitive man and the colored man observed two men deliberately walk around the ladder, and waiting several minutes they observed many citizens, men, women, young men and young women, come along the street. Fully one-third of the number gave the ladder a wide berth.
 "This am de era of education an scientific investigations, when every ting am explained by de lamentations of philosophy" declared Uncle Jim. I'd jes' like to know what de profes- sah of sociological contamination 'ul say if he knowed one-third of de folks in dis town so blame superstitious dey woan' walk undeh a ladder. I guess de coon dog ob science ain't got de skunk ob superstition up de tree yet awhile"
 And the inquisitive man declared that the colored people are natural orators.

srowds seek Thunder Mountain.

BOISE, Ida, June 19. - More than 2,O0O men and probably half hundred women are now struggling over the rugged mountain trails to reach the goldfields of the Thunder mountain and join the advance guard in the quest for wealth. The trails are now opened to the goldfields, and the rush is on in earnest. While the trip is at tended by none of the dangers that be- set the travels of those who went in earlier. still it is filled with hardships. The eagerness for wealth, however, that caused men to risk their lives dur ing the winter draws the crowds in ever increasing numbers. It Is believed that there will be 30.000 persons ~ camp this summer,

PATRICK LOSES HIS CASE.

Rice Will of 1900 Rejected Because of
 Insufficient Proof.
 New York, June 19.-Surrogate Fitz- gerald, after an attorney for Albert T. Patrick had closed the evidence on his behalf ill regard to the alleged will of William Marsh Rice (the will said to have been executed ill September, 19O0), announced that he would refuse to admit the will to probate on the ground that the proof as to the wills due execution and that it was the last will of Rice was insufficient. The surrogate then proceeded to take evil dence as to the 1896 will.
 After hearing the evidence Surro- gate Fitzgerald admitted the will of 1896 to probate.

PORTUGUESE LEApERs.
Who They Are and what the Colony
Intends Doing.


Intends Doing.
Much merriment has been caused
among the Portuguese colony by q
statement OF the advertiser TO the
effect that j. M. Vivas was a leader
among the Portuguese Catholics.
Evidently, judging by the remarks
heard yesterday around the Roman
Catholic Church, and at the places
where Portuguese usually coogre
gate, such an assertion was sur.
prisiug one to them.
Numerous Portuguese were inter-
viewed yesterday by The INDEPEvD-
ENT and their answer was unani
nous. ave do not care for either
the Republican or the Democratic
Party; our votes, this year, will GO
to any man opposed to the present
administration; as to Vivas he re-
presents nothing but himself and
controls nothing but bis vote"
Asked further as to the men
WON they would consider as their
leaders, the answer was also sur
prisingly unanimous: Louis Medal
ros, president OF the Portuguese
Literary aud Educational Club;
Furtado secretary of ths San Auto.
MO So oiety: M.A.Silvs, OF Gonzalves
g. Co., Abel Na'ciemento, a director
of the Lusitsna Society or M, c.
-Pacheo Of Court Canoes l. o. F.
The younger element of the
Portuguese Colony is waking up to
the responsibilities, goiog with
citizenship aud will be heard from
during the next campaign. AL
ready they are making quiet but
thorough canvas of al their com
patriots who are qualified to vote,
and will make them register at the
proper time 1t is limited that one
OF the candidates upon whom the
Democratic and Home Rule forces
in tho fourth district will combine,
will be- Portuguese. If such is the
case it is hoped that the parties
representing the opposition to the
Dole government will be careful in
their choice Of candidate. III sue
cess is their goal, they must pick
out young nan, popular, honest
and intelligent. Any one Of the
above named will, we believe
ELL the bill AID with the support OF
the other Hawaiian and American
Home Rule and Democratic voters
will carry the opposition flag on tc
victory.
