THE GILBERT HOME.

Recent Case Where a Catholic Child
 Was Discriminated Against. Editor of the Democrat:
 As an instance of county home big otry, permit me to state that only last Sunday the authorities of the Gilbert Home at Winsted refused a Catholic child permission to be confirmed That man or woman is to be pitied whose mental makeup is such that he or she takes pleasure in robbing Cath ollie children of their faith. This re. fusal to permit this child to be con- firmed evinces heartlessness utterly out of place in an institution pretend ing to be conducted on charitable lines, but this action is consistent with all the past record of the Home God help the faith of any Catholic child who falls into the clutches of some of our county homes, for they are veritable pest houses of prosely- tism. The spoliation of our childrens faith cannot have the sympathy of honest Protestants, who know how to read the Golden Rule.

About Town This Morning Looking
 Over Ruins of Fire.
 Rev Father Slocu9n arrived home last night after short vacation spent at Suwanee Springs, Fla, where he had pleasant time trying to keep cool, and shooting quail when the weather was not too warm. Father Crowley will not be home for another week, but Father Slocum says that his health has improved wonderfully and that his parishioners will scarcely recognize him when he returns. He stopped at Washington.
 A Democrat reporter found Father Slocum this morning viewing the de struction done here by the big fire of February 7. He said that he scarcely knew what to say when he came up Bank street last night and looked at Grand and Bank streets. He ex- pressed deep regret on account of the great loss and inconvenience caused by the confagration, but said that there was reason to feel thankful that no human lives were sacrificed and that the destruction of private property was not more widespread. He was in the hotel at Charleston when he saw an account of the fire in the papers, and after reading it the first thought that came to his mind was to come home on the first train leaving there. He said that the Charleston papers had a very good account of the fire, the names cf the owners of the different buildings afiame accompanying the report. so that he could form an excellent idea of it's magnitude. The morning paper ir xxy1,i 1,o flo c,fa the fire had just demolished the big furniture establishment of the Boston Furniture Go and was forcing it's way across Brook street in the direction of East Main street. This was bringing things pretty near home and naturally Father Slocum concluded that by that time his church and rectory were in ashes. Later in the day he 1earned through the newspapers and other 1 sources that the firemen had offered such stubborn resistance to the onward march of the flames at Brook street l that they had not proceeded beyond the | point mentioned in the morning papers, l the plant of the Boston Furniture Co.
 Father Slocum looks much improved after the little relaxation. He consio-

 sick to take advantage of the recrea- tion one can enjoy there. There is al most an unlimited number of quail and
 other birds about the place, and people l who can handle 8 rife take great de l light in an hour or two spent in the I woods and along the river shooting.
 He refused to say whether he had q l good aim or not but made no bones of 1 saying that Father Crowley had few l peers as marksman. He could hit I quail as far as his rife would carry.

TThe following is the letter MT Kel- logg refers to in the above. It was sent to the Democrat by Father shan ley by special delivery mail last week.

As Mir Kel- logg makes reply to 1t, we take this op- portunity of giving it to our readers.1

A New Improvement in Burial Baskets.
Boston, Mass, Feb 20, 1902.

Boston, Mass, Feb 20, l9o2.
 We have this day appointed JOHN MORIARTY, of Waterbury, Ct, the well known undertaken, sole agent TOT our ROLLED STEEL BURIAL CAS- KETS. These metal caskets will be sold as cheap as the ordinary wooden caskets and are endorsed by the Bos- ton and New York boards of health, as we'll as the War and Navy de- partments. They are proof agalnsI all contagious diseases, being abso- lutely air tight; they are covered Ill all kinds of goods of various colors and the prices are extremely low ana within the reach of every family. The popularity of these caskets is ev- idenced by the fact that our factory is taxed to it's utmost capacity to keep up with the demand.
 Very respectfully,

l Waterbury Democrat containing an in teryiew with MT Charles P Kellogg, the secretary of the state board of charities, in which he states that he regrets that Father Shanley has made such mistake" as to declare that his statement that arrangements are now made for holding Roman Catholic ser vices in several of the county homes" is false.
 l have made no mistake. I am per fectly conversant with the facts in the case and for a second time I brand Mir Kelloggs statement as false, and challenge Mir Kellogg to prove that it is true
 In his interview with a reporter of the Democrat, Mir Kellogg says: s'With regard to the Gilbert home. all I have to say is that it is a private institution and that the management can conduct it to suit themselves" Should Cath ollie wards of the state be placed in a private institution that discriminates against Catholics, and is notorious for bigotry? The Gilbert home discrim- mates against Catholics, and is notori- ous for bigotry. If any proof is need ed I will afford abundant proof
 At the last legislature a petition was presented which had for it's object the placing of Catholic wards of the state in Catholic orphan asylum. As the wards of the state from Litchfield county are committed to the Gilbert home-a private institution-we ask for the same privilege.
 Mir Kellogg appeared before the iu- dietary committee and strenuously op. posed the bill. He not only opposed it before the committee, but used his in fiuence otherwise to defeat it. He had no objection to the placing of wards of the state in private institu- ton such as the Gilbert home. but he did object, and very emphatically. to the placing of Catholic children i'll a Catholic private institution
 charge Mir Kellogg with making a false statement in saying that s.Ar. ! engagements are now made for holding Roman Catholic services in several of the county homes of the state,n and 1 make no mistake in branding this statement as false. I await Mir Kel logg's reply.

 I write this letter to you personally. the only suitable mode of procedure, but i'll order that this refutation of your charges may receive something of the same publicity that you saw lit to give them, I may send copies of it to few of the newspapers that you fla vored The incident is closed now, so far as I am concerned, and, hereafter, if you have any complaints to make in regard to the work of the state board of charities.
