TWO MERIDEN YOUNG PRIESTS

Celebrated Their First Public Masses
Yesterday.
At st. Roses and ST Joseph's Catho-
lie churches in Meriden yesterday two
Meriden young men. who were ordained
to the priesthood the latter part of last
week, celebrated their first public
masses.
Rev. Fathers Harvey and Keane were
born in Meriden and lived there up to
the time they left for college. Father
Harvey entered St. Francis college in
Brooklyn, n. Y, and later went to the
Montreal seminary, and he finished his
studies at St. Bonaventure seminary in
AlIegany, N. Y, at which college he
was ordained last Saturday morning by
Bishop John E. Fitzmaurice of the Erie
(Pa.) diocese, and his ordination was a
big honor to the young priest, as he
was the only one selected from his
class. Father Harvey received his ear
ly education at St. Roses parocial
school, Meriden and is the son of Mrs.
Katherine McDermott, of Center street,
that city.
Rev. John J. Keane was born in the
western part of Meriden and attended
the West Main street school till he
passed for the high school, from which
institution he graduated with high hon
ors in 1894. While at the high school
he was quite popular and the leader in
all the athletic sports. He entered St.
Johns seminary in September, 1894,
and was ordained to the priesthood on
last Friday at the Holy Cross cathedral
in Boston by Bishop Burke. While at
the college Father Keane carried off
numerous honors in his class, and his
standing was very high in all the
branches. Father Keane is the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Keane. of North
Second street.
Father Harvey will be stationed in
the Erie (Pa) diocese, under Bishop
Fitzmaurice, and Father Keane will be
under Bishop Tierney In the Connecti-
cut diocese, and it is quite likely that
he will be stationed as a curate at st.
Joseph's church in New Britain with
Rev. Father Moore, formerly pastor of
the Holy Angels parish in South Mer-
iden

The trustees were DESTROYS of ascertain
ing. as far as possible, the exact needs of
each department of the college and their

IAN on Account of Eliza" is played
by an exceptionally clever company
under the management of Jacob Lift
and with all the scenery and effects
that We're used during the long run Of
the play at the Garrick theater, New
York, 1t will certainly prove the ban
ner comedy event of the season at the
Hyperion on Saturday night, December
q. 1t is a great big comedy hit and
tells a forceful and sympathetic story
of the woes and tribulations Of a pref
ty, city-bred school teacher who is in
the clutches of lot of country gossips
in a small town. but the sentimental
element of the play is subsidiary to the
comedy interest. There is a current Of
most delightful humor pervading the

CHARLES FROHMAN's ANNUAL
BOSTON PRODUCTION AT HY-
PERION TONIGHT.
At the Boston Museum recently
Clyde Fitch's latest play, The Bird
in the Cage" was presented by Charles
F'rohman for the first time on any
stage and SO undertaken with special
scenery and picked cast. The same
production intact is now announced for
presentation here at the Hyperion
/ theater tonight. The piece is the first
of its particular domestic class that
Clyde Fitch has ever written, all of his
previous efforts having been devoted to
satirical society dramas and comedies,
and he labored longer on this new play
than he did on others from his pen and
! this came about through the interview
ton of his illness which commenced
shortly after he had started the first
+ act, compelling him to set it aside I'M
willingly. During his conValescence he
resumed the work and leisurely COM
pleted it.
Next in interest is the presence of the
| noted comedian, Edward Harrigan, in
the cast, and it will be his first ap-
pearance on the local stage for some
seasons and also the first time that he
will have been seen in a play that he
has not written himself. His role in
the new piece savors of the line of
Characterization with which his name
has long been linked
Besides Mr.. Harrigan in the cast
there are announced several others
we'll known here, among them Charles
Mackay, Guy Bates Post. Arnold DAILY,
Sandol Millken, Grace Henderson and
Jennie Satterlee, to each of whom Mr..
Frohman has allotted a fitting part.
Seats now on sale. Prices $3.50, $1.QO

face of the stamp. The picture Of Washing
ton that has appeared on the stamps since
the earliest days of the postal system will
be replaced by another design-that of GIL
bert Stuart, whose famous painting now

/ "The Western Girl" Langdon Nc
Cormicks latest effort, which is at the
Grand the first three days next week,
is without question one of the best
melodramas written In recent years.
The author has not stopped to the or

average melOdramatic production; but
has told story replete with artistic
/ touches. Mccormick is a master of
stagecraft and his fine talent in this
line is amply exemplified in ''The West

piece in an elaborate manner and Miss
