ST. MICHAEL S DEDICATED.
Many Visiting Priests Guests OF
Father Traynor.


Father Traynor.
The pretty little church which. has
been erected by the Rev Matthew ].
Traynor for the Catholics of Water
vile was dedicated yesterday morn
ing at 1890 by the Very Rev John
Synnott, vicar general OF the Hartford
diocese.
st Michaels church, noted for the
beauty Of its interior art and decora-
tons, for the harmony of every detail,
and for the blending Of the various
colors and tints used in enrfching the
edifice, was not large enough for the
number of people who desired to be
present at the dedication. All pres
ent were more than pleased with the
simplicity and magnificence OF the
house of worship.
Solemn and impressive were the SEX
vices of the day. After the churcn
had been dedicated, solemn high
mass was celebrated, the following
priests officiating: Celebrant, Rev
r. A. Jordan Of st Joseph's cathedral,
Hartford, formerly of st Patrick s
church of this city; deacon. Rev
T. M. Crowley; sub-deacon, Rev
John J. Fleming; master of ceremon-
les, Rev j. B. Nfhill of Bridgeport.
Among the priests who occupied seats
within the sanctuary were the Rev
Fathers McMahon, O'Brien and Keefe
of this city and Henry J. Lynch of
Danbury.
The sermon was delivered by the
Rev t. S. Duggan of st Mary's
church, East Hartford, whose brilliant
writings for the Catholic Transcript
have marked him as an editor OF
marked ability. Father Duggan possess
ses such clear, melodious voice, such
a fine accent and beautiful delivery,
that people love to hear him speak.
His speech is marked by fuency, by
richness of ideas, depth of logic and
clearness of thought. Though he
spoke for nearly an hour yesterday,
yet his remarks never became unin-
teresting. His sermon was based, as
it were, on the temple of Solomon,
which he applied to that particular
edffce and church of the present day.
He glanced hastily back over the cen
turtles since the establishment Of the
Catholic church and pointed out the
vast amount of good which that
church has accomplished in the lapse
Of centuries. Irresistible, imperisha-
BILE, the church rolls like a mighty
ocean, ever increasing in power and in
fuence. Great and wonderful has
bee its work in the past, but greater
still would 1t be In the future. AS for
St MichaePs church, the reverend
speaker congratulated the pastor, the
Rev Matthew j. Traynor, and the zeal
Gus members of his flock on the COM
plettOn of the handsome edifce which
was credit to the Catholics of Wa
terville. 1t would stand as an endur-
Ing monument to the devotedness and
faithfulness, hard and earnest endeav-
ors of the pastor, who has labored so
indefatigatbly since his advent in Wa
terville some sixteen months ago to
erect for them an edifice Of which they
might be proud.
A pleasing feature of the services
was the splendid musical program.
The solos were rendered by a double
quartet, assisted by a large chorus.
Miss Katherine Gloster was director
and Miss Mamie Denehy was organ
list. The singing Of the solos was
beautiful and the choruses were finely
rendered.

Effort to Have Holyoke-Merfden Game
on Athletic Field.
Local baseball enthusiasts may have
an opportunity Of seeing the cham
pion Holyoke baseball team play In
this city before the end of the season.
Captain Fitzpatrick Of the Holyoke
team spent yesterday In this city.
While here several persons, much In
terested in the pastime saw him In re-
gard to the matter Of having the
Massachusetts team playing here. The
Holyoke management is very much in
favor of the plan, which is as follows:
Holyoke plays it's last game of the
season with Meriden in the Silver city
on a week from next Saturday. It is
proposed to have this game transferred
to this city. Holyoke is willing but it
remains to secure the consent of the
Meriden management. As 1t is the
last game Of the season and Will not
affect the relative standing Of the
teams and as the Meriden people hhave
seen plenty Of baseball this season,
there should be no reason why the
Meriden management should not be
willing to transfer the game to this
city. The game would be played at
the Athletic field and would draw sew
eral thousand people. Captain Fitz-
patrick, in company with Peter Hall,
who is one Of the persons interested
in having Holyoke play here, visited
the Athletic field yesterday. They
think the diamond IS in suitable con-
dftion for the game.
A Democrat reporter talked with
Captain Fitzpatrick in regard to the
matter. eyes, we would like to play
game in this city before the end Of
the season and think that the Meri-
den management will be willing to
transfer the game to this city. The
Athletic field Is In good condition
and suitable for the game.
Eyes, the boys have been playing a
star game. When players are treated
properly they win try hard to win.
That is the condition Of affairs at Hol-
yoke. Dan O'Nei1 uses the boys royal
" and in return they are putting up
a fine article Of ball. The public ap-
preciate It as may be seen from the at
tendance. The Holyoke management
will have a new ball field next year.
which will cost about $4,000. Work
on the new grounds will be commenced
on Friday"
II think Waterbury will have a
team In the league next year. The
right men are behind the movement
to have Waterbury given another
franchise"

Politics in Vermont have had a
healthy sitting within the past two
years. There has been an independ-
ence of action shown on the part OF
every voter that is most gratifying to
lovers of fair pley. The old system
of few making d list of candidates
and pulling the wire and having the
Freeman follow their lead is past.
The majority of voters in the state
have been taught to think out their
action on every issue and vote intelli-
gently. They have become emanci-
pated from vest pocket pc itics, and
now, we believe, no individual politi.
clan in this state can truthfully say
he carries certain localities as he Wills.
No individual in the state has done
SO much to bring this about as Per-
cival W. Clement. The Times has
never been al admirer of Mr.. Clement
as our readers can testify, but we
hope we have fairness enough to give
every man his due.
We don't know what part Mr.. Gle.
ment may take in the campaign of
1904, but it is safe to presume that
he will be heard from.
This is right. Every issue should be
intelligently placed before the voters
and the greater the agitation the bet,
ter will our Judgment be formed.
This is a condition of eff4irs The
Times welcomes and 1t is one we be-
lieve will help the old state onward
in the march of progress.

Brattleboro Phoenix I

Pope was not far out of the wey
when he wrote, IAN honest man is the
noblest work of God" There are
many men who would resent the i'm
putation that they are dishonest who
ought to sit down in solitude to ask
themselves whether they are genuine
ly honest in the payment of their
taxes. What are we to think when a
man dies, leaving specific requests of
more than ten times the amount on
which he has been taxed? This ques-
tion of tax-dodging is one of the most
serious problems OF our governmental
life TO- day. The poor man with only
a home, or a man whose holdings are
in real estate, pays full tribute. 1t is
the rich man, with bonds, mortgages
and securities locked up in his strong
box who does the lodging, who
throws aside the burden of govern
ment he should bear, and who shrinks
from the duties of citizenship.

PRESS COMMENTS.
TBarre Times.

Many of the smaller towns of the
state are showing a shrinkage in their
grand lists this year, which they are
endeavoring to explain by saying
that acts of the recent legislature
gave exemptions which caused the
shrinkage. Undoubtedly this &C.
counts for part of the cutting down,
but not for all OF it. And it is not a
very pleasant sign to note that those
towns are at such a standstill that
they cannot overcome the loss caused
by the comparatively small exemp-
tiODs.
