ST. MARY'S PICNIC.
4 GRAND SUCCESS IN EVERY RE-
 SPEOT AT MOMAUGUIN.

Enormous Crowd at Shore to Enjoy
 Cnrnival--Married Men Win Baseball
 Game 2 to 3-Other Athletic Events IlIuminations and Fireworks-1,5 ,5OO Prizes Awarded.
 Fine weather, amusements in every shape and form and hundreds of peo- ple helped immensely in making St. Mary's picnic at Momauguin a grand success yesterday. From early morn ing till late at night crowds surged to the shore resort to invest in the ad- pertages and pleasures afforded at tlle great carnival. Not an incident marred the pleasure of the people, the successful work of the various con- mittees being of the highest order, ev- erything running in the smoothest pos sitle course. A good part of the suc- cess is largely due to the never tiring endeavors of Father McShane Henry | Donnelly and Mir. McGinnis, the two latter composing the amusement committee.
 In the morning the last necessary preparations were finished and about noon everything was in working order and the lunch counter, behind which were many diligent women of the par ish, was patronized extensively, and they did a rushing business. The games of. ringing the cane, the African dodger, the Japanese ping pong game, behind which were several pretty girls dressed in Japanese costumes, the laughing gallery and all the other amusements were also greatly patron ized. There is not a single amuse- nent imaginary that was not to be seen. The whole represented q county Falr, which contains anything and everything. Girls were running around with grab baskets giving the grabbers a gift worth several times the money paid, each one a remembrance and souvenir of the grand event Boys were running about selling tickets for "A ride on the sound,' and for any other sail which the people wished to enjoy
 About the middle of the afternoon athletic events were held. First, the baseball game between the married and the single men which was won by the former after a shert and close game, the final score being ' to 3. If the married men had not used Sergeant Connolly and Officer Tracy of the New Haven police Champions" the score would no doubt have been all the single mems way. But the game was close and interesting and both teams played fine ball. For the married men Colgan pitched fine ball and held the single men down to three scattered hits. Connolly played a fine game, both in the field and at the bat, making a lcng hit which was good for three bases. Tracy the catcher. also played well For the single men Hope made a sensational catch of a line drive The game lasted but five innings and 1t was long enough for both married end single men as the heat of the sur

ALTERATIONS AT TRINITY
ARE so EXTENSIVE THAT THE
 PARISHIONERS
Will Not be Able to Recognize the Old Ediflce When It is ReOpened Which May Not be Before Christmas.

The alterations at Trinity F. E. church on the green are of q more inn portant and extensive nature than was at first anticipated. A visit to the church shows that the. entire interior lis being rebuilt and rernodeled. The old pillars supporting the building have been taken out and steel ones subati- tuted, while steel rafters now support the roof in place of the old wooden
 ones. There is still considerable car Ipenter work to be done, and after that it will take months for the plasterers land decorators to do their part of the
 work. As is well known new organ costing $20,0O0 is being built and this Twill be placed in three different parts
 of the church when finished. It was generally expected that the work would be finished in time to have the church ready for worship by the beginning of
 October. But it is very doubtful now whether services will be held much be-
 fore Christmas.

Putting Corporations Out of Politics.

Governor HIGGINS has approved the
bill, passed last week by the Legislature,
by which corporations and joint stock
companies engaged in business in this
State are prohibited from making con
tributions TO political campaign funds.
Hereafter the officer or trustee of a cor
poration who helps to finance a political
campaign out Of the pockets of the
shareholders or policyholders whom he
represents will be liable to punishment.
The enforcement Of this law will remove
a dangerous factor from our politics
and will curtail to a considerable extent
the powers of numerous persons who
have purchased authority with other
peoples money.
The corporation in politics has been
guilty of many wrong and harmful acts.
The erection of a barrier to keep it
strictly within the province Of its legit-
innate cndeavor is an accomplishment
for which the Legislature, the Governor
and the Armstrong committee. with
which the bill just signed originated, are
all to be congratulated, and tho people
Of the State of New York are particu-
larly to be felicitated on the elimination
of a threatening feature of their public
life

Sanity.

These remarks of Mayor MCCLELLAN
were addressed last night to Democrats,
but there is need that Republicans shall
hear and heed them:
There is a spirit of disorder and lawlessness
and spirit of unrest and hopelessness sweeping
around the world. q spirit which masks under the
names of socialism, collect!vism. communism, but
which has for Its object the subversion OF exist
Ing law and order, and Ultimately maulfes,s Itself
by the flaming torch and the red nag OF anarchy.
Nation after nation has met It, and in panic has
fallen back and temporized. Nation after nation
has been weak enough TO compromise. . . .
There Is nothing hopeless In the situation, but we
should be worse than fools II we ignored it. or even
minlmlzed 1t. 1t Is serious, extremely serious.
1t Is dangerous, very dangerous. But II the night
10 calamity waged and II the forces OF honesty
are rightly led tho common sense OF the Amer
loan people is bound to assert itself. and that com.
mon sense, brushing the cobwehs from the brain
OF American manhood, will cause Americans TO
throw away forever the unhealthy fallacies of
anarchy and reassert In all Its honesty and virlity
the clearsighted hardheadedness OF the American
character"
No politics In that, In the partisan
sense, and yet the Mayor was talking
politics to partisans.
Nothing but the spirit o. sober, straight
thinking, conservative Americanism.
Neither party has the monopoly of that.
Fortunate the day when the two great
parties shall be contending for primacy
q the exponent thereof
