FRIENDLY LEAGUE.
Display of Sewing. Dressmaking,
 Shirt Waist Making and Millinery

The public is invited to inspect the exhibition of the domestic arts depart ment Of the Friendly league classes on Saturday June 4, from 3 to 10 o'clock, in the entertainment hall of the league building. The exhibit includes a DOT tion only of the articles that have been made during .--e past season, as many of the nats and some of the gowns have been in use. and thus are unavail- able.
 The gowns. shirt waists and millin- cry display include q variety of ana- teTiaI suitable for many occasions. They have been made without assist ance from the instructor or other per sons, and there is reason to believe that future classes will include those who will become professional dress makers and milliners. The class en- rollment for the season of 1903-1904 has numbered more than 15O students and represents every station in life.
 Ice cream may be had during the af- ternoon and the evening. the profits of which will be applied to the purchase of a much needed sewing machine for the department of domestic arts. One half of the price has been promised, conditioned upon the other half being obtained elsewhere.

EXHIBITION OF ART.
Work of Pupils of NOtre Dame Now
 Being Inspected by Friends.

The value of art training is recogniz- ed at the convent de Notre Dame and that the end is reached is evident in this years work, which is now being exhibited in the grand hall at the con- vent. From the elementary work of the regular course to the merely dec orative department, which is not classed as course-work, painstaking effort is to be remarked.
 In the drawing class the studies of the blocks and flowers and fruit pieces are worthy of attention. The pen and ink sketches by the Misses Mary Fay, Mamie Fitzgerald and Helen Case are finely done and denote much artistic taste and skill The most attractive studies in water colors are pansies, Miss Loretta Mahaney, fruit studies, Miss Annie Reilly, Moonlight on the Sea-" Miss Jean Rowley, Miss Edith Brooks, pond lilies, Miss Helen Casey; roses, the Misses E. Thompson and Jennie Fraser. Tn black and white drawing excellent work was done, not able among the studies being Winter Quarters by Miss Alice Gooding.
 Some excellent work i'll oil painting is the subject of much admiration, among the attractive panels being the following: Tennyson's Coots herons Miss Catherine Mahaney; Sichels Ma donna, Miss Blanchette; roses, the Misses Jean Rowley, Annie Reilly and Julia Brennan.
 Noted works in the colored crayon department are Meditation" Miss Laura Mccarthy: swans" Miss Katherine McGrath; "A Rocky Coast '' Miss Rosalind Brownell.
 That there is art in needlework was evident to all who examined the June display. The hall itself is q thing of beauty and is quite in keeping with the beautiful work therein exhibited. One glimpse was proof conclusive that pillows are the fashion. The blue and white c. N. D. pillows and those bear ing the class motto of 1904 on a white and gold ground were most conspicu- ous. The names of the Misses Laura Mccarthy, Mary Fay, Elizabeth Thompson, Annie Reilly and Katherine Harrington were attached to some of these beautiful reminders.
 The lace work always proves at tractive and the center pieces, collars and duchess lace jackets were much admired. Plain needlework on every article of apparel was noted and showed the useful before the orna- mental.
 The artistic coloring and attention to general effectiveness were among the most remarkable features of the exhibit and elicited general commnda- tion. .
 The exhibition will be open to the public until Monday night, June G.

IN THE POLICE COURT
Boy Who Steie Blank Cartridges Held
 for Superior Court.

Somebody will have great Fourth of July at little cost, for 45,000 blank cartridges have been stolen from the warehouse of the D. B. Wilson Go. A small boy named Joseph Josick. aged 10, is the first one to suffer for the missing ammunition. This boy was before Judge Peasley in the city court to-day charged with burglary of the warehouse and theft of the cartridges. He was arrested last evening by Spe- cfal Officer Colasanto.
 The story of the theft as told by Pe- ter Otto, who was a very reluctant witness, and Tony Pitch, was to the effect that last Sunday morning the three Of them invaded the warehouse and removed one case of cartridges. They denied breaking down the bars from the window or taking more than one case. Who took the others Is a mystery for the police to solve. The value of the goods is $45. About 50O cartridges were recovered. The court was perplexed what to do with the boy. He has been before the court several times before and once or twice has been committed to the state school for boys, but his father always took an appeal and that was the last eNAS SOHS' OuoS0 T CdSISy Olu 1OC like to bind him over. but said that something ought to be done for the boys own sake. so he accordingly held him for the superior court under a bond of $500.
 Cornelius Brennan of Watertown was found by Officer Moore asleep on the crossing at Bank and Meadow streets at 12:40 this morning. He was fined $5 and costs and put on 30 days probation.

She said she thought she had three months to pay it and therefore did not call upon Mr Combellack She was ordered this morning to pay the fine within ten days or go to jail
 Two small boys named ---as
 and Henry Spadola were charged With theft of couple of pocket knives from show case in Hotchkiss & Iempleton's store. Sentence was sus- pended in the --4-- case and the other boy wass committed to the state school.

CAN'T WAIT FOR MILES.
Leader Says Party Must
 Look Elsewhere for Nominee.

Chicago, June 3.-O1iver W. Stewart, chairman of the national prohibition committee, says:
 General Miles would without a doubt be nominated by the prohibition ists at Indianapolis June % if he were known to be identified with the pro- hibition party. His record in opposi- ton to the army canteen is one of which prohibitionists are proud. They confess to great admiration for him. If he were to state publicly that in the coming campaign as patriotic citizen he would affiliate with the prohibition party and support its ticket, my illdg- ment is mat there would be no other name proposed in the national cenyen- ton.
 tsHowever, General Miles has made no public statement to the effect that he intends to cooperate with the pro- hibition party. He has suggested that we postpone our national convention until after the democratic gathering at St Louis, on the ground that possibly the democrats may take such action as will make nomination by the prohibi- tionists unnecessary. This is wholly unsatisfactory to the rank and file of the prohibition party. We are conf dent the democrats will make no such move and propose to go ahead with our convention and make our nomination.
 Since General Miles is not with us to the extent at least of being willing to make an open public statement to that effect, if has become the settled conviction of most thoughtful prohibi- tionists that we must look elsewhere for our candidate. The prospect is that the convention at Indianapolis will be more largely attended than any gath ering that has ever been held by the prohibition party"

S272Sa6.a2


 The report of the department of edu- cation relative to teachers salaries was scanned hurriedly, but no action was taken on it.
 Two suits against the city for $1,o00 each, one of Mary Brennan and the other brought by Hanora Dodds, for injuries received by falling on defect i've walks. were settled on payment of S125 in each case. This action was taken on recommendation of the city attorney.
 A bill of S2,4oO the price paid for the new engine house site, was signed and an order for that amount made payable to George l.. Jenks. through whose agency the transfer was made from Mir Humphrey to the city of Wa terbury. Two bills were received for court expenses in connection with the Platt Mill sewage disposal wrangle. They were for S6S each and apeared to be duplicates. One was approved, but the other was held up. The most remarkable thing about these was that they were the smallest demands by several hundred dollars, ever made upon the city for legal expenses in that celebrated case.

She blushed, apologized and was rescued by Commissioner Lewald, who promised to forward the panel to her after the duty has been paid.
