ish. The cornerstone of st MichaeIs
church, the erection of which was
started by Father Gleeson, was laid on
June 20, 1897, the Right Rev Bishop
Tierney officiating. The structure
wasn't completed at that time. The
Rev Father Traynor was appointed
pastor of st Michael's church, Water
vile, and st Mary Magdalene parish
Oakville, March IS, 1902. He has re-
built and enlarged the entire edifice IL
Waterville and to-day this village may
boast of having within its confines one
of the pfettiest churches of its size, not
only in the state, but in the country.
The new church, which Is of Gothic
! design, is situated on the main street
in Waterville. It has very imposing
entrance. A pretty little lawn with
two nice flower beds lies in front of it.
The church is of good proportion. Az
stated above, it is OF Gothic design
with a clerestory. Although the ex-
terror is of prepossessing nature, the
great value lies IN the interior. The
art, decorations, equipment, stand I'M
rivaled by that of any other church of
its size jim the country. The nave of
the church is divided into three aisles.

It's seating capacity is 500. AS one en-
tiers the church the eye is at once at
tracted to the beauty of the sanctuary,
finished in apsular style. There are
three stained windows over the main
altar and one on either side. The ap-
proach is made to it by beautiful
artistic arch, richly decorated. Here
in the sanctuary the decorators art
shows to the best advantage. The col
oring is delicate and artistic and pro-
duces most pleasing effect. Surmount-
ing the arch is "a magnificent dove,
enlb1ematic of the Holy Spirit. 1t is
surrounded with a Gloria in the atti-
tude of coming towards the earth. IN
derneath is beautiful sky effect of
azure and cloud. In these clouds may
be seen number of cherubs whose
gaze is focused on the dove.
Around the altar is a grand Gothic
panel, on either side of which is a rich

THE MOTORMA,N.

Before a man Is deemed competent
to run locomotive that draws a pas
senger train he has to serve an ap-
premiership of years as a fireman and
then work as a freight engineer until
he has demonstrated not only his thor
ough understanding of the mobile ma
chine, but his steadiness OF nerve and
his capacity to do the right thing in
emergencies. In spite of all this. and
the additional fact that the engineer
runs above ground there occasionally
occur accidents due to the incompe-
tence, physical, nervous or mental, of
railroad engineers.
What about the man who handles
the lever on the electric car ?
How many Of them know anything
of the nature of the terrific agency
they SO blithely switch on or off with
a turn of the wrist ?

Is placed a number of emblems repre-
senting various Christian mysteries,
ten in number. There Is a liberal
amount of gold leaf in all the decora-
lions, giving them an exceedingly rich
appearance. The side walls are fin
ished in terra Gotta colors, with rich
borders. Around these walls are four
teen stations of the cross, imported
from Munich. The figures in the sta
tons are in relief with a perspective

struck with the remarkable blending
of colors throughout the edifice. 1t is

BATTLE SHES DESTROYED.

Victory Mt Portland For Army OF the
United States.
PORTLAND, Me-, Aug. 2S.-The bat
tie flags Aof seventeen vessels of Rear
Admiral Barkers superb feet were
flung to the southwest breeze, blowing
fresh and strong, as the long antici-
pated day attack was made at Port
land
According TO the decision of the UNI
pires, all the battle ships were destroy
ed by the shore batteries as soon as
they came within the prescribed 5000
yard range and before they had fired a
single shot, but this did not detract in
the least from the spectacular interest
in the battle, and for an hour the can
nonadfng was terrific.
The vessels of the fleet began to leave
the anchorage in Middle hay and by
the time they were stripped Cor action
had formed in single file in long line,
with Rear Admiral Barker's flagship,
Kearsarge, leading and the others fol-
lowing at distance of about 300 yards
apart and in this order:
Battle ships Illinois, Alabama and
Texas, cruisers Chicago, Olympia, Bal
timore and Panther, training ship Es-
sex, cruisers Yankee, Topeka and Prai-
RE, gunboat Scorpion, destroyers Wor-
den, Stewart, Truxton and Whipple.
The gunboat Vixen followed along
about halfway between the Essex and
Yankee, but several hundred yards far
ther inshore rather than in the direct
line.
AS soon as they reached the 5000
yard limit the mortars in Fort McKin-
ley opened fire. For some moments the
fleet was silent, but at last the Kear-
sarge, Illinois and Alabama swung
their broad white sides shoreward and
opened with a terrific fusillade on Nc
Kinley. The example set by the bat
tie ships was soon followed by every
vessel in the fleet, and as they steamed
farther down the harbor all the forts
opened fire, until the whole coast seem
ed dotted with big white puffs of
smoke, rent by rapid flashes of flame.
The cannonading carried on by both
sides was incessant until the feet
which had taken q very devious and
sor3 q 'tioop the loop course, had Civ
en- Wffliaa1s, the last fort, chance al
near range.
It was a spectacle, pure and simple, q
long, striking procession, ard no at
tempt was made to force any passages,
land any parties or employ strategy.
Finally, just as the sun was setting,
the naval forces desisted from attack
and put out to sea.

.srHE oHARITY NURsE.o

The opening performance of the
Charity Nurse at Polls will be given
this evening, two additional perform
ances being given tomorrow afternoon
and evening. The play is a melo-
drama of tender heart interest and
might in a sense be termed a woman's
NAV for the reason that it tells a story
of peculiar interest for the fair sex
and for the additional reason that
wberaver it is presented women turn
out in great throngs to witness its pro-
auction. 1t is a story that has its coun-
terpart too often in real life-the lurT
ing away of an unsuspecting girl 1rem
her happy home by an accomplished
T,ro,ioate. This scfeuing rascal, as
sisted by a female companion, seeks to
destroy this young girls honor. Th&
are in the end prevented from doing
this by a clergyman, who. though III
disgrace through drink protects ner,
and she helps him to reform and regain
his place in society. The company

can be fully realized.
In the rear OF the church is situated
the parochia1 residence. It is two
stories high and contains ten rooms.
All are spacious and commodious and
are marked by their comfort It * a
pretty residence. It is equipped with
all modern and up to date improve
ments. 1t is lighted by electricity and
heated by hot water.
Since the Rev Father Traynor's adj
vent to Waterville, about sixteen
months ago, he has accomplished much.
A hard, tireless, indefatigable worker,
his, efforts are meeting with much sue
cess. Not only his Pensioners but
Catholics throughout the diocese should
feel a just pride in Father Traynor's
success, for the Waterville church is
not only a credit to that village but to
the Catholics in the Hartford diocese.

There is no form of amusement that

person who seeks amusement unac-

mind-taxing features that accompany
so many dramatic entertainments. 1t
is for this reason that fun seekers are
looking to Monday with such excep-
