WATTERsoN ON CLEVELAND.
Says He Has No More Chance Than a
 Cat in Hades.

Louisville, Ky, June 22.-Henry Watterson thinks MT Cleveland is growing monotonous. He says: "If Cleveland had any sense of humor he would enjoy the joke-tfor d joke it has become -sof seeing his friends herald him as an unseldsh patriot, who with fitting dfgnity disdains, whilst not re- polling, a fourth nomination to the presidency, and he himself rushing in to print whenever somebody does this for him, to deny the allegation and de- nounce the allegator Young MT Bai- ley of Texas not the senator but a scribe of the Dallas-G Galveston News, is the latest victim of his own temer- fty. Mir Bailey wonders now whether, in his professional character, he went to Princeton merely for the benefit of his health or what not''
 Of Bailey's interview MT Watterson says it contains nothing which MT Cleve1and's admirers have not all along been saying and perhaps would better have been in the third instead of the first person
 As to Cleveland's disclaimer, he says: elf Mir Cleveland ds not at least a receptive candidate for fourth nomination, if there be not some force behind him working to that end to which he looks,. why all this?" He ends: "Mr Cleveland has no more chance of democratic nomination for the presidency than a cat in Hades mi nus both a fan and a tail, not to men, tion claws. We merely mention this latest bit of stage play to keep abreast with events"

WAS WE'LL KNOWN HERB.
The Late Rev B. OR. Sheridan Father
 Slocum's Tribute.


 At the churches yesterday, Water bury people learned with profound re- gret of the death of the Rev Bernard O'Reilly Sheridan, for many years pastor of St Johns parish, Middle town. Father Sheridan was one of the best known priests in New England and was fairly idolized not alone by those who had an acquaintance with him butralso by people who knew him by reputation only. He was q typical "Soggarth Aroon,'' and probably few men held a warmer place in the hearts of those with whom he came in con~ tact during his long and creditable ca reer as an active worker in the cause Of humanity. He would have been dear to the people of this town were it for no other reason than that he was brother to Father Sheridan of Naugatuck whose name has long since been a household word in this city, but his unbounded popularity emanated from his own real worth rather than from any other source, so that the news of his death was a rude shock to his numerous friends and acquaintances here. At the Immaculate Conception church Ill to his memory and during the day many tear was shed by the older members of the community for him whose magnetic voice had charmed them in thetimes when it required more courage to voice the sentiments of Ca- tholicism in Connecticut than itdoesto | day. In addition to his labors in his
 chosen field, the priesthood, he devoted
 considerable time to other matters and l was noted as an ardent patriot, and l was in great demand with the G. A. l R. and kindred organizations and de- l livered many stirring addresses under 1 their auspices in different parts of the l state. He was also a strong advocate of the Irish national cause and from l the time of his iboyhood never lost an opportunity to do all in his power to l bring it to successful termination. l He spoke on the subject different
 times in Waterbury during the pastor l ate of the lanented Father Walsh and 1 If his speeches and writings on that l question could be collected and pub. l lished they would make interesting and 1 instructive reading and would prove a valuable addition to current Iitera- ture, especially that which pertains to l the vexed question of land tenure in l Ireland Father Sheridan was a man
 of great force of character and in his
 younger years had few peers as a pub l lie speaker. He will be missed not only among his own brother priests, l but also by large number of people l all over the state, who looked to him
 as one on whom they could always look l for q helping hand whenever and In
 whatsoever manner the occasion da~
 manded it.

STOLE DYNAMITE
Boys in North End Get 8 Lot
 Of It.
CASUALTIES MAY RESULT.

The Youngsters Evidently Do Not
 Know What They Have Stolen
 The Dynamite Was the Property Of
 Contractor McManus.
 Serious accidents are expectedito oc- cur in the north end. A tool box be- longing to Edward McManus, a con- tractor, and which contained q num- Der of sticks of dynamite, was broken open on Grown street thB forenoon by a number of boys and every stick of the powerful explosive taken. Officer Keegan tried to find McManus by tele- phone, but failed. No one seems to know who the boys are that took the dynamite, nor is it known that the boys were aware it was dynamite they took. Anyhow, the greatest apprehension is felt that some boy will get seriously hurt before the explosive is recovered.

REV ROBERT MACARTHUR.
Says Strikes Ought to Be Obsolete
 Mediaeval and Barbarous.

Mediaeval and Barbarous.
 New York, June 9. Finding sub ject for a sermon in the strike of the building trades, the Rev Robert Mac Arthur, preaching in Calvary Baptist church, said:
 Strikes ought to be obsolete. They belong ito the mediaeval and barbarous ages. Time has come fer concessions land conciliation and arbitration. Time has come when the pulpit and the press must lift their united voices in the best interests of the working man. We must insist on the preser- vation of law and order. Let men have the right to strike if in doing so they violate no contrack We all ad- init they have this right, provided oth- CT men are not prevented taking the work which they refuse to do.s
 s'As a friend of labor I lift up my voice in favor of arbitration. The la bor union that refuses to arbitrate the case implies its side is bad. 1t is pos sfb1e for the labor unions to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. They may interfere with America's indus trial supremacy in the world. We must beg all workingmen and employ CTS to act according to the golden rule, which is as necessary to success in trade ss essential to progress in religs ion" s>

 Rome, June 22.-The consistory to- day was especially important owing to the persistent rumors regarding the pope's ill health and the previous post ponements.

The pontiff's features seemed, slightly more clear cut and his hands trembled perceptibly; but his voice was plainly
