DEBATE OF ST MARY,s ALUMNI.
Question Was Annexing Canada and Mexico to United States.


 Mexico to United States.
 The members of St Mary's Alumni association turned out in large num- bers last night to attend the first de- bate held by the association this sea son. The scene of the debate was the Mulcahy Memorial building. The sub- ject of debate was, Resolved, that 1t would be- beneficial to the United States to annex Canada and Mexico. James Brennan, Neil Buckley and Miss Emma Boyle told what benefits would accrue to this country from the annex ation of our neighbors on the north and south; but though their arguments were strong, they had no effect upon K. Fitzpatrick, John Gaffney and Miss Mary Healy, who advanced many req sons against the annexation. It was an interesting debate and rather heat ed at times. The Rev ". J. Slocum, who was judge, stated that since one side had shown that 1t would be bene- ficial to annex Canada and the other side had shown that it would not be beneficial to annex Mexico, he could hardly see how it was possible to award the decision to either side. He had words of commendation for the ar guments advanced by the debaters and made special mention of the work or James Brennan. Dancing was en- joyed after the debate. At meeting of the association last night it was | voted that the members of the society should wear pin. The pin adopted is gold one with purple enamel, on which Is inscribed ''St M. A. A." The standing committee was given power to make arrangements for dance te be given in St Patrick's hall or Thanksgiving night.

NEW YORK, Oct. e.-Broken asun- der by the withdrawal of the Conti- mental, English and American compa nies which entered into an agreement to maintain rates for cabin passage the lapse of the pact, 1t is believed, will result soon in a rate war of unusual magnitude.

POLICE COURT DoINGs
Daley Given Thirty Days in Which to
 Pay Money and Costs.

oy oaouey anu COSts.
 The case against Rebecca Valley for theft of three rings from her friend. Sadie Gilligan, was not heard in the city court to-day. The girl is a minor and it seems she was not exactly aware of what she was doing when she took the rings, the owner being her friend and roommate. She was placed on probation for thirty days.
 James Mulligan has been very good all the summer. He lived in Torringford and did himself and the land about there great deal of bene- lit by staying sober. planting corn and potatoes. This was what he said in city court to-day to Judge Cowell. Be thought if he were given a chance be would return to the paths of right. eousness and good works again. Judge Cowell was satisfied to let him go, moreover as Torringford voted no li- cense the other day, still he did not doubt that if Mulligan wishes to get drunk he can get all the drink he wants in Toringford, licence or no lie cense.
 The case against Timothy J. Daley for embedding $54 from the Building Trades council was put over for thirty days with the understanding that Da. ley is to pay back the money and the costs of the case. Statements were made by the attorneys interested be- fore this arrangement was made. The state said the offer of settlement did not come from them. Once before Daley came near being arrested for this offense. He then appeared total, ly indifferent to the conseuuences of his act. He told the prosecutor that the money was taken from his house, and afterward he admitted spending 1 it. If he were sent to Jail now no one but his family would suffer. DaIey's counsel. Attorney T. F. Lawlor. stated l that his client was unable to obtain a bond. The trouble with him was that he was unaccustomed to handling sums of money of any great amount and did not understand banking He consequently kept the money In his pocket and he had 1t spent before he was actually aware of it. So the case was continued month with the un- derstanding that Daley must make restitution and pay the costs.

RcyBINsON'S DEATH.
Board of Pardons Was to Have Acted
 on His Case.


 on His Case.
 Hartford, Oct 9.-John H. Robinson of Danbury who died at the state pris- on Monday night, might have died a free man if he had lived another day. It was a sad and unusual case as the young man died in the prison a few hours before the board of pardons was to have met to consider his case. When he was a young man Robinson was sent to the State School for Boys at Meriden as an incorrigible youth. When plot was formulated among Some boys in the school to set fire to one of the buildings of the Institution Robinson was implicated. The boys concerned in the matter were sent to the state prison
 Some tine ago Robinson developed tuberculosis and 1t was seen that his case was hopeless. His mother, who lives in Danbury, was notified. She sought the advice of Rev W W. w.. Wilson, pastor of the Methodist church of Dan'bury, who Communicated with Governor Chamberlain, asking that the som be pardoned that he might be ta- ken home to die. A meeting of the board of pardons was called for Tues day and Rev Dr Wilson came here with the intention of appearing before the board. Then he learned that Rob- inson had died during the night.
 Chief Jusice Torrance a member of the board of pardons, was in the city in attendance at the supreme court, and Dr Bacon of New Haven came here. Notice Of Robinson's death was sent to the other members and it reached them Tuesday, before they ~started for Hartford.

Work upon it will be begun at once at
the Hallowell quarries. as the monu-
ment will be made wholly of Hallowell
granite, except the die, which will be of
the darker granite found in Thomas
ton quarry.
The accompanying cut gives a good
idea of the completed monument. It's
total height is 361a feet. 1t is eight
feet square at the base, and the die is
four feet square. The shaft proper is
little over j. feet tall, being three
feet square at the base and tapering
slightly. Near it's bottom on the front
side is the State coat of arms in bronze.
the only thing about the monument
that is not of granite. Just above it is
the word Maine" This is cut on each
of the four sides. Higher still is the
motto of the association of the prison
survivors, Death Before Dishonor."
Near the top of the shaft are crossed
muskets, sabers. cannon and anchors
on the four sides. The whole monu
ment is surmounted by the figure of Il
private soldier bowed over his reversed
musket. the position known in the
manual as rest on arms" The figure
is a little over eight feet in height. The
die will be appropriately inscribed.
7. X. Brown of this city. has been APP
pointed by the commission as inspector
a guarantee in itself that the work will
be first-class.

"The Gay Mr.. Goldstejn,"

The only attraction at the Opera
House next week is the very funny
comedy. The Gay Mr.. Goldstein," o.,
Tuesday, Oct. o.
The Daily Sun. st. John, Of Oct. 16,
1902, says: "a comedy Of domestic
complications, devoid Of risque situa-
tions and suggestiveness, in which
clean, wholesome htimor abounds, Ia
The Gay Mr.. Goldstein.' It's theme is
founded on the prevalent desire to
marry for money. In the present in
stance the husband has a wife who
,loles out the family purse sparingly.
and the husband having former obli-
cations, which are unfortunately with
a young married lady, are hard to
settle from wifey's purse. The conf
plications are further increased by the
romantic tendencies of a wife who de-
sires to act and has romantic ideas.
Harry English plays Mr.. Rattleback
with just enough of the tough to be
effective without exaggerating. Miss
Deane is a strikingly pretty woman,
and she plays the divorced wife very
nicely. Her fainting scene with Mr..
Goldstein is screamingly humorous
Mr.. Alien gave a pleasing portrayal of
an old roue, and the balance of the
cast were equal to the requirements.
MI. Daley introduced monologue in
the last act that received repeated re-
calls, and the other numbers were fair
iy well received. The clean humor of
the play will doubtless find favor and
continue TO attract large audiences"

"Why Women Sim"

why Women Sin." the latest sue
cessful melodrama of New York So
ciety life, which plays at the Opera
House the early part of next month, is
bound to create an impression in the
hearts and minds of the audience. 1t
produces tale which is soul stirring
in its pathos, intensely dramatic in it's
tragic incidents and side-splitting in
its comedy and situations. The por-
trayal of the various characters. the
realistic and most magnificent scenic
effects. the startling and sensational
climaxes that delight and thrill must
be seen, the most illustrious pen being
unable to give fair description of
this stirring and luXuriOusly equipped
production. The cast like collection
of precious stones fairly glitters with
nuality and the interest of the audience
is held from the rise until the fall OF
the curtain.
