\ NEW HOSPITAL
Real Estate TraasieIs Will Be Con-
 pIeted By October 1.

The new hospital project 90 long under contemplation, was the theme of Father Slocum's remarks at the Immaculate Conception church yes terday and little else has been talked of in all parts of the city since. Some- time ago Father Slocum secured an option on the rrost place at the cor- ner of Union street and Franklin square and the Goodwin place ad- Joining. making frontage of about 40 feet on Franklin street, opposite the green, and 200 feet on Union street. This includes the property occupied by Bergin's livery stable. Yesterday he announced the plan and scope of the institution to his congregation.
 Father Slocum stated that the project has the hearty approval of Bishop Tierney, who has contributed s..uUU to the fund. making the to- tai amount already received $31,- 600, $oov of which came to hand Saturday from a non-C Catholic. All this money has been received with out any solicitation. and before the plans became generally known.
 The transfers of the property will not be made until October I, and after that 1t is understood that steps will be taken to fit the William B. Frost book up for use as hospital. It has thirty rooms and will serve the purpose all right until more suitable building can be erected. It has spacious verandas on each of the two first stories that extend around three sides and being nearly six feet wide, make total of nearly 10000 square feet of veranda. The building is three stories high and has a spacious one and one-half story elll thirty feet long and nearly twenty wide.
 On the Goodwin lot there is one good house and a couple of small buildings, which if necessary can be used for cases that it might be deem- ed necessary to isolate from patients in the large building. Tn time tract of land will be purchased on the out skirts of the town for the acconmo- dation of convalescents. The insti- tuition will be in charge of Sisters of Charity, the same order, 1t Is ex- pected, who recently built the hand some $300,000 hospital at Bridge port.
 The location is considered the best that could have ben selected. The trolley cars run by the property and 1t is within a short distance from all the factories fin the city. It Is also convenient to the convent and the several churches.
 Father Slocum has given the mat ter great deal of his time and to him is due the credit of getting the work in shape so that the much talked of new hospital is now as- sured. The Waterbury Medical so- ciety has also been factor in de- monstrating that there is need of such an institution in Waterbury.

NOTICE

February 9th is the date of the
Harmony Quartette. the next num-
Der of the Four O'clock entertain
ments, and it comes bearing the
very highest praise. At this enter.
tainment the reserved seats, for
those holding season tickets, will
be ESQ extra instead of 10c, and the
single seats are $50 instead of sos.
Our reason for this is due to the
fact when we delivered and col
Looted for the tickets, owing to its
being so near Xmas, there were
about fifty who had promised to
take tickets, who failed to do SO;
and this is the only way in which
we can meet our obligations, ind
have our last number, Fred Emer.
son Brooks. one of the finest enter
tanners of today. We thought Gun
patrons would be willing to bear
this amount and the balance due
will fall upon the members of the
club.

po This to Boom the Town.

Every business man in this town
should have a small folder printed
setting forth the good and natural
advantages for manufacturers and
the many reasons why they should
locate here, also to people looking
for a location to live or engage in
any sort of business, and enclose
one of these folders in every letter
that they write. Now this would
cost very little and might be the
means of doing something for the
town. We are on boom and it lie
up to our people to keep the town
on boom. Push it along.

one of them swear off and change
your course at once, for you are an
abomination to all truly decent,
respectable people.
