WEST MAIN ST. MATTER.
w. '. Tomlinson Thinks His Dam-
 ages Will Amount to $s5O.

It was expected. that the report of the bureau of assessment on the bene- fits and damages arising from the widening of West Main street would come up at the meeting of the board of aldermen last night, but not word was said about it until after the meet ing had adjourned, when Chairman Blakeslee said that Wilber F. Tomlin- son was present and that 1t might be well to hear what he had to say in an informal way Mir Tomlinson was awarded $4O0 damages In answer to question from MT Beach as to what he would consider fair damages, MT Tomlinson said $100 for the first foot deep and add $15 to that for the bal. ance of the six feet which would bring the award up to $S5O. MT Filling re- minded him that he didn't make that statement before the bureau of assess ment, to which MT Tomlinson said that he didn't suppose 1t was necessary. He had to do with such things before and found that municipalities showed a disposition to act on the square with citizens. He considered it a great detriment to take six feet of land from him and bring his building clear up to the street line. Alderman Blakeslee and Mir Pilling tried to show MT Tom. linson the benefits of a wider street, but the gentleman didn't see things from their standpoint and left without being converted to the view shared by the bureau of assessment and alder men, who claim that the award is all right

PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS.
Hartford Writer Calls Attention ts
 the Good They are Doing.
,ditOr of the DemOcrat:

To the Editor of the Democrat:
 Sir: The parochial schools of the state reopened during the past week with an enrolment of over 27,O00 chill dren. These schools are supported by the offerings of Catholic citizens who contribute also to the maintenance of the public schools. The parochial schools of Connecticut save every year for the state $664, GOO This does not include the cost of school property, which amounts to $2,260,0O0. The ed ucation afforded by these schools is at least equal to that provided by the public schools, Sacrifices are made to maintain parochial schools in order that the children may be thoroughly educated, that not only their minds may be developed but that their con, sciences may be trained. Archbishop Ireland recently stated that 'tthe peril of the age, the peril of America, is secularism in schools" The people of the land will some day declare how the peril Is to be removed, when the harsh lessons of facts will have forced them to realize the gravity of the situation. There is no room for argument, ex, perience teaches too clearly the lesson. Nothing but dadly drill in the teach ings of faith, and the assiduous breath ings of an atmosphere permeated with the spirit of faith, will sink religion so deeply into the sorl of the child that 1t must remain there through life un- altered and unwavering."
 Every parochial school is warding off the peril that threatens America. Every parochial school is training school for good citizenship. Mark Hanna, shortly before his death, ex. pressed the belief that socialism would bring q revolution in our country, and that in the hour of that peril the Cath olic church would be the nations greatest safeguard. The pupils of the parochial school are trained to respect authority and to submit to 1t. There is a growing disregard for duly con- stituted authority in America, and sooner or later it will work out results that will appall the nation and unset tie the foundation of the republic. The work done by the parochial schools ought to be recognized and due recom- pense ought to be afforded by the state. WlALTER J. STANLEY.

AMATEUR PERFORMANCE
The Second Division A. 0. H. of This
 City Will be the Producers.

On Thanksgiving afternoon and evening at Cityshall a cast of charac- ters selected from the best amateur talent in the city will present that great Irish drama Eileen Oge." It is nearly twenty years since this pro auction has been seen on the local boards and at that time the old Chris tian Doctrine society presented the same. Eileen Oge," or "Dark's the Hour Before the Dawn," Is as it's title indicates an Irish drama written on the lines of the old school. It is in four acts and is by Edward Falconer, who has given to the stage so many of those Irish plays of worth. There is no gainsaying the fact that the pub lie always loves those old dramatic stories. They never lose their inter- est and the scenes enacted recall so erald Isle that all those familiar with Irish history never neglect an oppor- tunity to witness those productions.
 An idea of what will be presented in the course of the productions Is as follows: The play opens on a farm scene, the Hawthorns. with view of Black Abbey church and Holy Cross hill in County Limerick All the scenes are enacted around this spot, with the proper exterior and interior settings. There Is plot, of course, and good one. 1t runs on the same line as the Irish plays usually do with one exception. that the play of Eileen Oge'' is more interesting and exciting Many of you have seen 1t and will be glad to see 1t again. Those who have not will be we'll repaid for attending either the afternoon or the night performance. The members of the Second division, A. o. Fl. make their first appearance in a dramatic way and they are now putting out the tickets as rapidly as possible. Of course you understand that the num- Der who will attend performances in City hall must be limited and to that end the number of tickets secured is lust what the law allows.

JUDGE BURR'S CLAIM.
Only Breach of Trust, He Says, Not
 Embezzlament.

Hartford Sept 2O.-The name Of Judge Lyman s. Burr of New Britain has been added to the docket of the superior criminal court. Judge Burr, it was learned yesterday, has retained Frank l.. Hungerford to care for his interests in the superior court.
 Judge Burr, 1t was said yesterday, does not deny the loss of the funds of the estate of which he was adminis- trator, but he says there was no ms, appropriation of them to himself, and that the loss to the estate is due to the misplacing of the funds. It was said that his claim is that he is guilty of a breach of trust, if he is guilty of anything at all, and Judge Burr is of the opinion that he cannot be prose cuted criminally when all of the cir. cumstances come to light Unless a plea of guilty is entered in the case, the trial of Judge Burr will not come up until the December term of the court, but from information learned yesterday the opinion was formed that he will be put to plea sometime during the present term.
 States Attorney Hggleston said yes. terday that If Judge Burr and his counsel decided to have the case tried it would not be tried until December. 1Nhe papers did not reach him until a few days ago, he said, and he has not had opportunity to investigate the charge.

DEMOCRAT BANNER.
Was Badly Injured in a Little Fire
 Last Evening.

The members of the Waterbury fire department treated Parker and Davis, the democratic candidates for presi, dent and vice-president, very roughly last night. They walked upon their faces, which appeared upon the ban- her which the local democrats had had painted and were about to whirl to the breeze in front of the democratic headquarters on Bank street; they pulled lines of hose on top of the heads of the candidates, knocked plaster onto their faces and then gave them a wash with chemicals. It was hard usage but in justice to the firemen it may be said that they were entirely inno- cent of any intent of damaging the democratic banner.
 It all occurred on account of fire in Ed Ockelss sign painting establish ment on Spring street. Ockels had been engaged to paint the democratic banner for the local democracy and nad completed his work Sunday. 1t was a handsome banner and the artist felt proud of his work. The banner remained in the paint shop yesterday, but was to have been removed in a day or two. Last night about 7:15 o'clock, fire broke out in the shop and 1t was while they were engaged In trying to extinguish the blaze that the ffremen damaged the banner. Lit tie damage otherwise was done by the fire, the origin of which is not known, 1t is thought that somebody dropped lighted match or cigarette butt care lessly about the place.

CTS be given leave to withdraw. and being put, it was carried without op- | position. This was much %yorse than the department of public works in. tended to do on the districts which they were not able to reach. Their object in reporting on lights not recom- mended was to let the aldermen know | all about the light question, not to give petitioners whose prayers would have been answered favorably if funds were available leave to withdraw The board of public works was re- quested to report to the next meeting | of the aldermen how many more lights the city can afford to install this year. | The lights ordered on petition were as follows: c. A. Mosher, Meriden road, between East Main street and
 Grange hall; Rawlins Lowndes, Water town road, between West Main and
 Robbins streets; A. w. Tyrrell, juno ton of Roseland avenue and Columbia boulevard; J. c. Kilbourne, Cooke street and Faber avenue; F. j. Brown. south Willow street at Brown place; Lt k. Carter. Watertown road, at old city line; G. ID. Judd, East Main street and Meriden road; w. H. Card, Wood lawn terrace and Frederick street; William Begg, Hill street and Johnson avenue.
 Lights not asked for but recon Emended by the committee and ordered were as follows: Bank street, between Grand and Meadow streets; East Main street, at the corner of Maple street; East Main street, at Hayden street; East Main street, opposite the Inn
 maculate Conception church; Grand street, opposite the postoffice; Grove street, between North Willow street and Holmes avenue; Mill street, be- tween Cole and East Main street; Grove street, between Cooke and North Main streets; North Main street, at the northeast corner of Spencer ave nue; North Willow street, between West Main and Johnson streets; North Willow street, between Hillside ave- nue and Johnson street; South Main street, between Union and Meadow streets; South Main street, between Scovill and Union streets; West Main
 street, at Grandview avenue; West Main street, near the brass mill; Wa terville street, at George Tracy's; small light at north end of the bridge on Main street, Waterville.
 The number of petitions returned to the board without recommendation and turned down altogether by the all dermen was very large. They may re- turn, but it is question If they would fare any better in a second attempt The special committee on new lights consisted of Commissioners Goss and Jackson, E. H. Williams of the United Gas Improvement Go and MT Meth of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go.
