Hidden Water Supply.

The investigation of neglected spring or rivulet may bring to light a valuable supply of water for gardening or domes- tic purposes. A surprising quantity is often obtainable by installing ram at some seemingly insignificant source. A ram is cheap, because the first expense is the last, there being no cost of main tenance, and it is satisfactory, because the ram requires no attention. Once started 1t takes entire care of ittself.- Country Life in America

A. championship of the state. The score was 23 to 21. As the score indi- cates, the game was very closely con- tested. The teams were evenly matched and not until the last minute of play was the game decided. The M1ddletoWn team, which has not been defeated on it's, own floor during the past two years, received a big scare in the first half. The Brass city boys hsl the better of this half and led at the end of it by the score of 12 to 10. In the second half the tide changed and began to ebb towards the home team, who won out by two points. A return game will probably be played ill this city. The score and lineup fol lows:

flights of eloquence he held the undi-

nearly two hours. For this reason, per-
haps, as well as to see Father Burke, who
is so highly respected in his native vii
lage, it was that the church was filled
to its utmost capacity last Sunday, and
that FIR. Burke seemed as eloquent in

ton held in the fine rooms of the Knights
of Columbus, in FIR. Burkes honor, at
which very large number was present.
The Rev. Father Shannon, in a happy
manner, presented to FIR Burke a beauti-
full gold chalice and paten, which are
used in the sacrifice of the Mass. Father
Burke was overcome with emotion as he
rose to thank the friends and neighbors
of former days for their great kindness
in so warmly remembering him through
those many years since he was one of
their number. He feelingly referred to
his childhood and boyhood days, and
extending his most heartfelt thanks to
all present for their kindly remembrance,

pastor so beautiful a token of their re-

FATHER BURKE.
Warmly welcomed by His Townspeople
and Old Friends.

and Old Friends.
Last Sunday our former townsman,
now Father David N. Burke, celebrated
Mass and preached at st. Marys church
in this village the first time since his
ordination by Bishop Cotton at st. Bona
ventures seminary, Allegany, N. Y, on
Dec. 10Th. Father Burke, as many of
our readers know is native of our
village and graduate of Middlebury
college.
After Father Burke's graduation he
followed for a few years the business of
teaching in the state of New York, but
on the election of Mr.. Cleveland in 1884
to the Presidency he entered the consular
service, his first appointment being to
the port at Puerto Cabelo, Venezuela.
From thence he was transferred to
Bahia, Brazil, where he remained till
near the close Of President Harrison's
administration. On Mr.. Cleveland's
second election he was appointed, within
a month after his inauguration, to Per-
mambuco, Brazil, remaining there about
eight months, when he was transferred
to Malage, Spain. He was in Brazil dur
ing the revolution of 80, when the re-
public was declared, and during the
time rendered valuable aid to the officials
of the Province of Buhia in the assist
stitution. He was also in Brazil during
the revolution in '93 against the republic
and upheld with dignity and honor the
rights of American citizens and seamen
during that troublesome period when
our commercial interests needed a pru-
dent man at the post.
After a couple of years at Malage he
was promoted to the important post Of
consul general, and practically minister
resident at Tanger, Morocco, where he
remained until retired by Mr.. Mckinley
in '9S. The New York World said at the
time of his promotion to Tangier that
''the state department considers him
competent to back up the petty intrigues
of the Tangier office and that ''Presi-
dent Cleveland himself was responsible
| for Mr.. Burkes appointment, having
made the appointment solely because he
regarded him thoroughly fitted to do
| lust what was required in that office"
Fr. Burke was on the stump in each
of the Presidential campaigns since 1884,
except '96, we have been told, and was
regarded as one Of the very best, most
effective and eloquent speakers in the

NICHOLAS SCARED BY SPfC7fR or FRENCH REVOLUTION:

N reviewing this first of my sojourns
in Russia my thoughts naturally
dwell upon the two sovereigns--
Nicholas / and Alexander ii, The
Arst of these was a great man scared
out of greatness by the eyer-recurring
specter Of the French revolution, There
had been much to make him stern
reactionary. lie could not but remem-
her that two czars, his father and
grandfather, had both been murdered
in obedience to family necessities. Al

forced him
To wade through slaughter to
throne
n revolt which had deluged the great
parade ground OF st, Petersburg with
the blood of his best soldiers, which
had sent many OF the nobility to ST.
IBERIA, and which had obliged him to
see the bodies Of several men who
n light have made his reign illustrious
dangling from the fortress walls OPP
posite the Winter palace. He had been
Obliged to grapple with a fearful In
surrection IN Poland, caused partly by
the brutality Of his satraps, but mainly
by religious hatreds, to suppress 1t with
enormous carnage and to substitute
a cruel despotism for the moderate con-
stltutlonal liberty which his brother
had granted. lie had thus become the
fanatical apostle Of reaction throughout
Europe, and as such was everywhere
the implacable enemy of any evolution
of liberty. The despots of EuDpe
adored him. AS symbols of his Ideals
he had given to the king of Prussia
and to the Neapolitan Bourbon copies
Of two Of the statues which adorned
his Neysky bridge-Statues represent
ing FESTIVE horses restrained by strong
men; and the Berlin populace, with
unerring instinct, had given to one Of
these the name OF Progress Checked"
and TO the other the name "Retrogres-
sion Encouraged" To this day one sees
everywhere IN the palaces OF continental
rulers, whether great or petty, his col
