In New Building.

Terryville, May 19.--Plans have
just been completed and the contract
awarded for a new public building IN
Terryyille to be known as the Terry
vile lyceum to be erected upon ground
adjoining the rectory of the Church
of the Immaculate Conception, over
looking Baldwin park. 1t will be a
two-story frame structure having a
frontage of 40 feet on Main street and
a depth of 120 feet. On the first floor
there will be reading room, library.

by Architect James Mccarthy of
Hartford and the builders will be

The building with furnishings will
cost about $4,000 and the work on it
will be started at once. To provide
suitable grounds for it's location Rev

of his parish has bought of the estate
Of the late Rollin w. Plumb the lot
adjoining the church property front
ing sixty feet on Main street and ex-
tending to the Pequabuck river. in the

the condition of the men of his parish,
many Of whom are single, employed in
the Eagle Lock Cos factory and, as
they are obliged to board, are depriv-
ed of many home influences. AS 9

st Johns Total Abstinence society was
formed and has a present membership
of about fifty men. The society now
has cramped headquarters in the town
building.
While the new building will be prim.

OF the Immaculate Conception, Father
Neale says that the gymnasium lis to
be for the use of the general public
and everyone who appreciates athletic
sports is invited to enjoy it's priv.

the pet scheme of Father Neale, who
is thorough athlete in his tastes.

among the popular song hits of the
day. Major M. j. Kelliher, the local
boy who is widely known as the drum
major of st, Joseph's T. A. B. corps,

his first professional enga cement, Ma
jor Kelliher is making good and is
looking forward to very successful
career. The other acts are supplied
by the marvellous Frank and little
Bob with their wonderful acrobatic
