New York Strike Leader Tells Men
 tO Return to Work.
 NETWORK. March 13.-There was a most dramatic scene outside the strik- CTS Headquarters in East One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street when w. l.. .Iencks. broken in spirit and unable to conceal his emotion. mounted a barrel and addressed. 1000 strikers. The lead CT broke down completely after he had uttered but few sentences and sObbed outright.
 The men became highly excited at the unusual situation and became SO demonstrative' for and against the sen. timents expressed by their leader that Captain Burns. with the reserves from the East One Hundred and Twenty sixth street station, charged the crowd and dispersed it.
 When the strike leader came into the vicinity of the headquarters he was met by great throng of disconsolate men. who pressed him for speech.
 Several of them unceremoniously placed him on a convenient barrel.
 He looked over the eager faces for a minute, and his throat moved convul. sively. Suddenly he exclaimed:
 "Well. boys, have bad news for you. The best thing you can do is to try and get your jobs back. We have lost the sympathy of the public and the press"

BANQUET COMMITTEE
 AND THE TWO SANS

The banquet committee of the Wa terbury merchants association is in more trouble now and it looks as if it will be more difficult to set them right than it was with reference to the date selected for the annual feast. In mak- ing out the quotations on the menu card the committee is charged with crediting some lines of the eminent Irish author. Sam Lover. to the great English classic. Sam Johnson. In other words. it is said that they got tue two Sans mixed: but it is nothing won. derful to hear that things were mixed at a banquet. The lines ''rhere's luck in odd numbers, says Rory O'More,' are from Lover, but the card does not mention the fact. but adds that ''Ciaret is the liquor for boys" and puts John- sons name after the whole of them. It is a question if the committee meant to do Lover any wrong and in any case it is small matter to tax up against committee that got up such a sue. cessful affair for the business men "nd their friends.

AIerrily Will The Bells Ring on Good
 Old Saint Patricks Night.
 Another rehearsal of the above drama will be held this evening and smoother and smoother will be the edges until the whole production will be pruned and worked into ship shape form. No one will be allowed at the rehearsals hereafter with the excep- ton of those taking part in the en- tertainment on that evening. This order has become necessary in order that there will be no interference with the rehearsals and the instruc- tiOns given to the members of the cast. It will be a mammoth presenta- ton. too. because there will be not one dull moment throughout the whole entertainment. There will be every thing there to make you feel that you are spending St Patriek's night protitably. The play proper will pre- sent to you newer scenes and more exciting climaxes than you have ever seen in an Irish production. The singing. the dancing, the playing on the Irish bagpipes and all the other little accessories will add to the gen. Sidi piedSuIt.
 The costumes will be selected to- morrow from one of the best costume houses in New England and will be appropriate and up to the times. It will take more costumes to present this production than any other that has been seen in this city, of it's kind. Another good feature in connection with the production will be the fact that you will be able to secure your reserved seats in advance. A chart has been secured. the seats in City hall have all been numbered and you can secure your seats in E. !. Finn's shoe store on and after Wednesday morning at nine o'clock. Reserved seats are fifty cents and general ad- mission thirty-five cents. The ex- penses of putting on this entertain ment are double that usually called for in such productions but the elab- crate manner in which it will be pre- scented will more than satisfy you,

THIEVES III PROSPECT
Entered Residence Of Michael Duhit
 While Family Were At Church.

Thieves entered the residence of Mi chael Duhig on the Prospect road yes terlay and turned everything in the house over hunting for money. They found little change. but not enough to take them oman extended vacation While the family were at church and Edward Campion. formerly q well known resident of Dublin street. who lives with Mir Duhig. was attending to chores ii, the barn the door of the res- idence was forced and the house ran sacked. It is q lonesome place. near the reservoir. and it is evident that the party knew there was little danger of being detected. for they didn't leave a spot in the house where viLuables could have been hidden that they ne- glected to look through. It was said to-day that the amount of money dis covered and carried away was large, but this is not so. but it was too much for hard working man to part with for nothing. There is no clue so far which would lead to the identity of the thieves and it is not likely that there will be since none of the family is able to give any description of the unbidden visitors.

Everybody who has ever crossed the ocean must have heard of or seen the famous Roman Catholic cathedral of St COlman at Queenstown. It stands on the front of the hill. overlapping the series of beautiful terraces that constitute the little town of Queens, town. It is a beautiful edifice. one of the banlsOmcst in exterior in the British Isles. hut the most magnificent in it's interior appearance. It is built entirely of Irish material. but mostly by American money. as the guide ncv. cr fails to inform the tourist. The building is yet incomplete. One splen- did tower lacks the spire and cross in tended for it on account Of lack of building funds. and it is to raise mol- cy that Father Kent. q priest of St COlman's. is delivering series of lee lures in this country.

MEETING TONIGHT.
Aadsrmsn Expected to Talk on the
 Park at Uniou Station.

The republican members of the board of aldermen and others held n meeting in the office of City Attorney John r. Kellogg Saturday night and got together on such action as will be taken at the adjourned meeting of the board in the hldermanic chamber to- night. It was said to-day by q person who is in position to know the cut. come of the private session. that the recommendation of the board of pub lie works with reference to park across the way from the railroad sta tion will he. approved. if not tonight, at 2 meeting to be held later.
 The public appears to be divided on the question. and as very little will be done on the railroad projects for the next couple of years many hope to see the city fathers go slow and commit themselves to nothing until every plan submitted has been thor oughly aired and the best possible re- suits obtained This has been done in other large cities and people who have not yet made up their minds one way or the othn, see no reason why such an undertaking should be rushed through here, especially seeing there Is nothing to he lost by waiting. 9th CTS claim that the city is making q mistake in running ahead of the rail be wise to let the railroad do as much >as it intends doing first and then let the city step in and carry it farther if such course should be deemed ad- visabla. But there are others who take the ground that if the present ad- ministration has decided to buy park lands and do work at the union sta ton that will cost few hundred thousand dollars, it would be good idea to go ahead right off and let the people get through wrestling with it. It is by no means as easy to get ex- pressions of opinion on the question now as it was when it was first intrO,> duced and when some folks thought the powers that be didn't mean it.,
 One man would notsobject to the purchase of the property in question by the city and let it be sold a few years hence and have the city desig- nate what kind of buildings should be erected on it. This lis said ito have worked we'll in other places, so we'll that in some instances cities realized handsomely on it and got vast public Improvements at very modest out lay. Another way people look at it is that it is foolish to spend large sums of money solely with view to bring ing the railroad station as near as pos sible to the new hotel. Considering the number of people who will go out and those who will come in. the opin- ion appears to be pretty general that the percentage of them who will be heading to the Elton or going from it will he small compared with tha rest. and besides that everything should not be lost sight of in the scramble to capture" strangers and keep them here.
 An argument put forward in favor of er.larging Library park is that the museum to be erected in Waterbury after the death of Mir IeavenwOrth should act as a companion building to the library and that now is the time to make provision for it.
