CLASS WORK PLANNED.
Teachers Assigned for Studies By
 Catholic Women's Association.


 Teachers Assigned for Studies By Catholic Women's Association.
 The class work at the Catholic Wo- mems association this year has been carefully planned for and there is every indication that it will be a most successful year. The classes will be as follows: Physical culture, taught by Miss Lord, a pupil of the New Ha- ven normal school of phy sical train ing formerly the Anderson gym nasium); dressmaking, taught by Miss Sheridan, assisted by Miss Sarah Fin ley; art work (evening and afternoon classes), taught by Miss Josephine Hgan; shorthand, taught by Miss Eliza beth Quinn; elocution, Miss Minnahan, teacher; grammar, Miss CorcoraR, teacher; and French. Miss Woisard. teacher.
 Several of these teachers have taught in the past, Miss Quinn having had classes in shorthand for the past three years; Miss Woisard, classes in French for the past two years, and Miss Egan and Miss Minnahan having taught last year. Miss Corcoran is a teacher in the Webster school and has
  citation in past years. Miss Sheridan taught dressmaking last year, and Miss Finley has long been identified with the association and her ability is well known. Miss Lord, the new teacher of physical culture, has long had a special interest in the work anG is fitting herself with special view to give to the class just what is want 11n inc of nh ofr1iY nm. der the direction of the best equipped physical training institute in Connecti- cut
 There will be two evening and an afternoon class in art work and ar evening and afternoon class in physi- cal culture, the latter for young girls and those. who do not desire to come out in the evening. Other classes will be held in the evening. On next Thurs day evening a whist party and social meeting will be held for members and those who desire to become members, when the hours and nights of classes will be announced.

the toes of some of the powers that
 be. Presto down and out he goes like all the others who have been placed on the ticket by their friends. but who have been dropped at the last moment by the order of the crowd which rules the republican par ty. Teddy was candidate for the office Of board of relief, a position which he held last year. He was as- sured that he would get the nomina- ton, in fact he was shown the ticket that was to be nominated at the con- vention. For some weeks Teddy has been very much concerned by the ill- ness of one of his family, and being assured he would receive the nomi- ton, on thR night of the convention, he remained at the bedside of the sick one. Here was the advantage the party managers were looking for. Martin Perkinson wanted some job from the republican party. He want ed it bad. and his hunger was so keen, that, as Biggerstaff was not on the grounds, 1t was decided by the wfelders of the republican lash that Biggerstaff must go and an ex democrat be given the position This was done and there was noman more surprised than was Teddy Biggerstaff. Is he sore? Well, just ask him and see. Why should he not be? Teddy has had his share of hard luck, but he has pulled through it all bravely. Some more of that luck struck him a few weeks ago and taking advantage of his absence from City hall the re- publican schemers downed him. The throw down is all the worse, because of its coming when Teddy was not on the ground to take care of himself. Teddy has many friends who will not forget the little affair Teddy has now joined the list of those republicans who had been promised nominations but who received the cut by the few chosen ones who seem to run the whole republican party. The list as now made up comprises BIakeslee, sandland, Booth, Biggerstaff, Lunny, Rametti and it will grow bigger as the day of election draws near.

Avery of Cleveland; chaplain general, Miss Nell lie Lane of Boston; neasureT-general, Miss Margaret Bright of Cleveland. The election was preceded by sensa- tiona1 events. The morning session had been productive of a reconciliation among the warning elements, led by Mrs Isabelle Worrel1 Ball on the one side and by Mrs Flora A. Lewis, the president-genera1. Statements wers sent to the press that all was harmony. When the afternoon session convened, however, Mrs Ball was requested In terms of motion made in the meeting to resign from the order.
 Mrs Ball said last night that she had learned that an agreement had been entered into by certain of those ladies who were opposed to her to force her out.
 Mrs Ball declined to resign her mem. bership, whereupon motion was made to expel her. She protested. and pro- test was made also by MissHaw1ey the secretary general, who organized the initial auxiliary.
 The motion prevailed when the vote was taken and Mrs Ball was expelled. Last night she fntimated that she will take legal steps to compel the off1ceas of the order to reinstate her to mem bership again.

 During the past month twenty cases were turned over to Probation Officer Combellack by the judge of the city court. Some of them were bad sim ners, but others were just entering on the down grade and probably this plan of showing them the error of their ways did them more good than rail- roading them to Jail. MT Combellack secured permanent situations for four of them and the rest got temporary employment here and there, so that nearly every one of them got chance to pay something on fines charged up against them. The amount collected by the probation officer during the month of September amounted to $229.05. In addition to this he raised $50 for the families of some of the parties placed under his care. The month s work will net the officer about $50. In New Haven the probation officer is paid $3 day, work or play, but here he gets nothing except for the time he Is occupied with the duties of the office.

DENIED BY THE BISHOP.

Renewal of Rumor Regarding Divi-
 sion of Diocese of Hartford.
 Bishop Tierney yesterday again de- nied the rumor that the Diocese of Hartford is to be divided. The rumor was current few weeks ago, when Bishop Tierney was abroad, and yes terday a cable dispatch from Rome said that the propaganda had decided to Grant Bishop Tierney's request for a division of the diocese. When the attention of the bishop was called to the dispatch he said that he had nev- CT made any such request, and had not been notified of the alleged action of the propaganda. adding that he thought it very improbable that any such action would be taken without his knowledge.
