RETURNED FROM TRIP
Mrs M. Donovan and Son Back
 From Ireland.

Mrs M. Donovan of East Main
 street and her son, Maurice, are
 home after vacation spent in Ire
 land. Maurice is Democrat news
 boy and has a very vivid recollection
 of what he saw in the Emerald isle.
 He couldn't help noticing the beauti-
 when he found himself rolling over them it is no wonder that he asked himself why they cant do road building like that in Waterbury. He intends to ask some of the city fathers about this matter. Another thing that attracted the, youths at- tention was the beautiful green fields, delightful hedgerows of box wood and white thorn and the great variety of singing birds one hears no matter which way he turns: The landscape, he thought could not be
 excelled and in this perhaps he was
 right, for most of his impressions
 were gathered from views in Cork,
 Limerick and Dublin, and probably
 it would be hard to see nicer rural scenery.
 Tn Dublin," said the returned boy tourist, to a reporter while waiting for his papers Saturday, T made several trips through the principal streets and drove through all the parks. That's a very nice place around Trinity college. We took par ticular notice of others whose names one sees in books and papers quite frequently; they must have worked for the good of the people or they could not have remembered them in this way. suppose they regard them in the same way that we do Washington and the other brave men. who made this country free. think O'Connell must have accom- plished more than all the rest for the people speak of him oftener and in Glasnevin, where he is buried, .lo- body thinks of visiting the place without going into the O'Connell plot and saying a prayer beside the great casket. They were making some re- pairs in the vault the day we went there and we couldn't get in and place our hands on the casket, but we descended the stone steps and looked in so that we can say we saw where he sleeps and went as near to it as the workmen would permit us to do. Glasnevin is a beautiful cemetery. There is a nice chapel just inside the main entrance and across the way a representation of a round tower higher than the tallest smoke stack in Waterbury, They say these round towers were used as lookouts for the Irish in war times years ago, and if so they must have been able to get line on approach ing enemies on time to get ready to defend themselves or retreat in good order if they didn't think it wise to give battle." ,....
 Tt is a very nice country and one sees so much to admire he gets con- fused when asked about it and doesn't know what to mention. The people are very cheerful. No matter where you want to go somebody always is willing to point the way and you needn't ever be afraid that will interfere with you, when it is known that you came from the United States, and 1t does not take them long to find that out"
 Maurice had a good deal more , relate including a description of the exposition when somebody au- nounced that his papers were ready, thus bringing quite an interesting chat to an abrupt termination.

PROSPEROUS F. OF A.
Court Crosby's 10th Anniversary to
 Be Celebrated in December.

Court E. R. Crosby is making ar- engagements to celebrate it's 10th an- niversary which occurs in December. Court Crosby was organized iu the Brooklyn district after the death of Edward R. Crosby, in 1897. MT Crosby was we'll known throughout the state for his interest in all things forestic. and his friends thought the best way to commemorate his nlem- ory was to organize court of forest CTS and name it after him.

Kelly; R. S., James Wagner; treasurer, William J. Col lins. +
 The court has obtained permission of the grand court to open its charter to initiate members between the ages of IS and 40 years at the uniform rate of s3. The charter will remain open till the night of the anniversary when a big blowout will be given in the rooms of the B. A. c. The court has paid out in sick and funeral ben efits nearly 5000 in the ten years, and has in the treasury SLIGO.
 The dead members of the court are John F. Bowers, Patrick J. Dfl- lane, John J. 0'Brien, Michael ]. McGinn, Timothy Fogarty, William Cousey, John Gilmartin. John I. Murphy, Charles N. SIockbower. Patrick Leary, John English and Daniel Lawlor.

asked Schilling if he would not please
drive his horse and wagon to one

might back his own wagon up. Schil-
