CORNER ON MARBLES
Mild Weather Startee lhe Game. But Shipments We're Held Up.


 To some the water rates is the big gest question now on the boards, while others never bestow a thought upon it. They have other troubles and 1t is surprising how many such things there are. Take for example the marble market. Something hap pened last week which interfered with shipments consigned to Water bury dealers and the mix-up came near driving many crazy. The young sters wanted them and would not take anything like a tie up on the railroad for an excuse, so that deal CTS who handle them were almost obliged to close their doors. One dealer disposed of 1000 marbles in a few days, but customers kept crowding in by the hundreds and if a new lot hadn't come along the hinges soon would have been worn off the doors and the clerks would have to get out. It is mystery what becomes of all the "megs' and "annies" bought in this town. A great many of them are lost and some take pride in spiriting them away until they have bagful. ;,
 The snow interfered some with the demand for marbles and storekeep- CTS who were out of them say that it was a relief to have something happen to turn the attention of the boys to something else.

Sally Port. Fort Fl Moro.

is said b be the oldest residence in in tts Western Hemisphere and was built by Ponce de Leon. the first gov ernor Of the island in 1920.
 As a result of the treaty of Paris at the close of the war with Spain, all the heavy guns mounted in the forti- fications of San Juan have been dis mounted and shipped back to Spain. and the artillery troops have. in con sequence. been withdrawn from the island. Extensive plans for the proper defense of this important and strate- gic harbor. utilizing the most modern guns and accessories. have been made in Washington. and before many years have elapsed the new batteries will be constructed. but the old Spanish defenses of the city will always be of interest on account of their complete ness and historic sss-c'ation.

STREET DEPARTMENT BUSY. Sanding Walks When It Freezes
 Cleaning sIush When It Mclts.

The employees of the street depart ment were busy this morning sanding sllppery sidewalks and when they got through with that job they had to turn in and commence cleaning the muddy streets. This is about the we--i Fsnd of weather on the depart ment. for it Is almost impossible to make prtparation for it. One part of the day the walks are as slippery as glass and then again they are covered with slush. Notwithstanding these difficulties the department appears to be doing good work. although once In . while you hear somebody say that his street is not in condition to suit him. This is quite natural. but when one stops to consider the number of streets m Waterbury and the sudden ness of this change he will readily see that all of them cannot lsc rIean- ed in A few hourx But of rourse If people couldn't rail and find faut sbous something many would explode and fi,en the situation would be far uorpe fhsr if fs

THE POSTAIASTERSHIP
Objection Is That Democrats Are Employed By MT Guernsey.

During the past few days consid- erable has been said about the local postmastershlp, some people more than intlmating that Monsignor Wil- liam J. Slocum has interested himself in the matter and that he had gone with Judge George H. Cowell of the district court to Washington to help out their candidates. That the contest is growing more interesting every day and that people who have no interest in the matter whatsoever have been drawn Into 1t is quite evident. Petit tions have been circulated in almost every business, mainly on behalf of James H. Filling, president of the board of aldermen and paymaster for the Scovill Manufacturing company. But the friends of Postmaster Guern- sey have not been idle either They have, however, refrained from in volving outsiders in the scrap and practically forcing from them an opinion, as the other has done, on this matter in which they have no direct interest.
 Judge Cowell returned from Wash ing last evening and this morning when asked how the fight was getting along he said that politics was merely incidental, not special, in his visit to the national capitol.
 "The only objection said he. "that I could find raised against Mir Guern- sey in Washington is that there are n few democrats employed in the post office and do not think President Roosevelt is a man that will find cause enough in that for the removal of any postmaster"
 The judge was asked if he had seen Monsignor Slocum in Washington and if he had expressed himself to any of the officials of the postal department as to choice of candidate.
 Not that I know of," said the judge. "Lonsignor Slocum passed through Washington with Father Crowley of St Thomas and Mir Kee- ley. They were on their way south and they just dropped off at Wash ington to take look around. It is a place that Is always interesting and worth good look at. Monsignor Slo. cum did not say anything to me about the pastmastership and l don't think he has any opinions on the matter"

FORT OF SAN JUAN
Deienses Which Spain Placed
 About Porto Rican City.

Part of the defensive wall which the Spaniards built entirely about San Juan, Porto Rico. has been destroyed, but with this exception 1t is still a walled city. and were 1t not for the well.paved streets, the water and sewer systems, electric lights and street railways. the mark of American industry and push, 1t would still have all the appearance of a sixteenth cen tury Spanish town.
 As one enters the city from the east by the military road he Is impressed with the extensive system of fortifl- cations constructed by the Spaniards for the defense of the capital; and the military observer Is most i'm pressed by the fact that the system has been evolved with special refer ence to land defense, with a view to resisting an attack by way of the mill tary road
 A short distance further and the ad- vanced works of Fort San Cristobal are reached. This old fort, with its bastions and its keep, is a striking example of the Vauban system of fortification.
 From Fl Abanico to the main fort a covered way leads up the glacis, with frequent angles and recesses in the walls to admit of defense should the enemy have forced an entrance from the front.
 Fort San Cristobal was formerly connected with Fort Ell Morro and the palace of the governor, both more than 8 mile away, by underground passages, but these have long since become clogged up with debris and closed.
 Fort El Morro is in reality the cita- del of the entire system of fortifica- tions, and being so far inside of the lines has no advanced or out works. It Is noble structure. guarding as 1t does the entrance to the bay and har. bor on the one side and serving on the other as a last stand against an attack from the land. This fort was built in the period from 1884 to 1906, and was thus completed just 300 years ago and one year before the earliest English settlement was established in America.
 The moat is crossed by stone bridge, and one enters the port through the sallyport, where a senti. nel stands guard. Over the sallyport was formerly a bronze coat of arms of Spain, but this disappeared before the fort was turned over to the Ameri. can troops, and 1t is thought that some member of the Spanish garrison threw 1t into the sea to prevent its falling into the hands of the conquer ors.
 Inside the fort is paved court, sur rounded on all sides by casemates oc cupied as quarters for the men, mess rooms, kitchen. storerooms ofice, post exchange, etc. To the front, right and left, as one enters, are other sally ports.
 On top of the fort stands Fl Morrc lighthouse, 130 or more feet above the water, may be seen for many miles out at sea. The present lighthouse was erected to replace the one de stroyed in the bombardment by Ad miral Sampson's fleet in 1898. A short distance from Ell Morro. and I immediately above the wall, is Cass Blanca, the military headquarters 1T Porto Rico. This old. fort-like house

HOLY FATHER
Promises Hearty Greeting For
President Rooseveif's
Sister.

Pope Plus X. on st. Patrick's day
received in private audience the Right
Rev. Thomas O'Gorman, Bishop of
Sioux Falls, S. d., which is in the
archdiocese of st. Paul During the
conversation Pope. Plus said that
Archbishop Ireland's discourse last
December on Church and State in
France" was a strong presentation
of the Franco-vatican conflict. GAL
though I knew it caused some dis
pleasure" His Holiness said, "Arch-
bishop Ireland was correct as to the
remote causes of the conflict when
he said that the French clergy and
leading Catholics failed by not follow
ing the advice of my illustrious
predecessor"
His Holiness asked Mgr. O'Gorman
about President Roosevelt, and ex-
pressed pleasure to hear that he was
satisfied with the solution of the
Philippine question. he also requested
Mgr. O'Gorman to present his regards
to President Roosevelt. The Bishop
informed Pope Plus that Mrs. Doug
las Robinson, of New York, sister of
President Roosevelt, would arrive in
Rome during holy week, and re-
quested His Holiness to receive her.
The Pontiff answered: NATURALLY I
shall be delighted. All doors shall be
open TO her"

ALL ROT.
Times Gives Forth Another
Fake Story About
Coadiutor.

The Louisville Times has given out
another story concerning the APP
pointment of coadjutor to the Right
Rev. William George McCloskey,
Bishop of Louisville. That paper says
it learned "from reliable source
that the Very Rev. John P. Farrelly,
d. d., now spiritual director of the
American college in Rome, is to be
appointed by Pope Plus Y. coadjutor
of the diocese of Louisville. The APP
pointment will probably be with the
right of succession"
Declaring that an assistant is nee
essary, it goes on to say that our re-
vered Bishop is able to attend to his
episcopal duties, and writes pastoral
letters as clearly as in his younger
days. In conclusion IL exposes its
entire lack OF reliable information by
the remark: IF DIR. Farrelly is APP
pointed the announcement will be
officially made from Rome within the
next few days. The appointment will
no doubt be satisfactory to the
Bishop and to the clergy of the do
cese."
The Times would have it appear
that it is in direct communication
with Rome and passes over the heads
of the American Catholic authorities.
When any change is effected 1t will
be first made known in The Record
ard this paper The Times man
must smoke again.

HER SAD END.

Week.

Mrs. Rebecca Graves, forty-eight
YEARS old and residing at 1906 East
Jefferson street, suffered a stroke of
paralysis on Thursday of last week
that resulted in her death Tuesday
morning. Mrs. Graves had left her
home to visit friend and was wait
ing for car at Clay and Market
streets when she was stricken and
fell to the ground unconscious. She
was at once removed to her home,
where everything possible was done
in the effort to revive her, but all
without avail, as she failed to rally
and continually grew worse until the
end came Tuesday morning, when she
passed peacefully away surrounded
by her children. Mss. Graves had
lived all her life in Louisville and was
held in high esteem by a wide circle
of friends and acquaintance, who are
deeply grieved at her unexpected
death. She is survived by two sons,
William and George Graves, and four
daughters, Misses Hazel, Jessie, Iona
and Mary Graves. The funeral was

day at National Bowling
Tournament.

This is Kentucky day at the ma
tional bowling tournament now in
progress in st. Louis, and no one need
be surprised if the big prize comes to
Louisville. Our bowlers have been
prominent in the Congress that has
been held there, the delegates being
Squire John Adams, John j. Barry,
Bob Brown and Dan Hanger, and in
all the deliberations of the body they
were on the popular side. The tourna-
ment has been in progress all week
and some good scores have been
made, but they airs not equal to what
the Louisville teams can do If they
roll in their best form.
Last night the Kentucky Irish
Americans, Squire Adams, Y. NJ. I.
and Fay-Mus teams left for st. Louis,
where they are scheduled to roll to-
night. They will be followed by other
teams from this city, thirteen having
been entered. All these teams have
large following, and the result will
be awaited with no small interest.
The only handicap will be illness or
loss of rest that may be incurred on
the trip.
The Kentuckians will have earnest
rooters in the Mound City, where ar
rangements have been made to give
them merry time, win or lose. The
betting is that they will land at least
near the top, but the hope is wide
spread that they will break all rec
ords and return with the highest
honors.

JEFFERSONVILLE
Hibernians Dramatic Clubs
Performance a Great
Success.

A noteworthy observance in honor
of Ireland's patron saint and national
holiday was the entertainment given
by the Hibernian Dramatic Club in
Jeffersonville under the auspices OF
Division 1 and directed by Henry w.
Newman, rof Louisville. Speith's Thea
ter was taxed to it's utmost capacity,
but the Irish spirit prevailed and all
were in good humor. Preceding the
performance the orchestra played
popular Irish airs that aroused much
enthusiasm, and the solos between
the Gets by Miss Mae Coleraine, Miss
Margaret Constantine and Miss Glenn
entine Brooks were so well received
that they had to respond several
times to the encores.
The Hibernian Dramatic Club pre-
scented the laughable farce comedy,
''She Would Be a Widow" and the
work showed careful training AID
study. There were seventeen char
acters, and so well was each part
taken that it would not be just to
particularize. Upon all sides were
heard words of praise, and in appre-
citation the young ladies were
showered with flowers. Young Jack
Murphy, John Kennedy, win Garritty,
j. E. Murphy and Will Lally had a
splendid conception of their parts
and kept the audience in continuous
roar. Misses Mae Coleraine, Regina
Constantine, Mary Gilhooley, Zivolia
Young and Clementine Brooks were
all chic and pretty and easily carried
of the honors. Messrs. Leo Ke ;tler
and William Haley had little to do but
did it well. Taken altogether the
performance was most creditable
and is worthy of presentation on any
stage. The club has been solicited to
repeat the performance, and may
soon appear for the benefit of the
division in New Albany.
