LAWRENCE MAY.

In the death of Lawrence May, which occurred at his home in Bridgewater on Saturday, November 2l, the town has lost one the last and oldest of the Irish Catholic settlers and the last of the old time Matters. Lawrence May came to Bridgewater from County West Meath about the year 1854 or 1855 and found employment in a hotel kept by man named Hopkins in the building occupied by H. s. Mygatt on corner Main and Bank streets, New Milford. At that time the Irish Cath olics were few and far between and met much opposition by the New Eng land settlers and they could tolerate no religion but their own and were willing to give any thing in return for giving up the Catholic faith. They were ministered to as well as possible by Father Smith, perhaps the first resi- dent priest of Newtown, Conn.,, who came to New Milford, Kent, Washing ton, Warren, Roxbury, Bridgewater and Brookfeld. It may be easily said that little band of Irish Catholics were the pioneers of Catholicity in these parts and they uncomplainingly made the sacrifices. The first mass was held in Wright's hall on Railroad avenue and later the building where the pres ent church stands was purchased and from time to time has been modified to meet the demands the years have made. After few years Mir May came to Bridgewater and learned hating with the Sanfords. It was then pro- posed to build church of their own in Bridgewater and the building actually purchased, but the Sanfords soon leav- ing the town it was given up and the building sold. Then MT May bought of Glover Sanford in 1872 the farm where he has since lived. He was drafted for service in the Civil War, but procuring substitute did not go. A democrat in politics and even though the principles of democracy have changed he always stood for the party as he did when he cast his first vote. He was honest and upright in all his dealings and had the respect of all who knew him. His funeral was held in New Milford at St Francis Xavier, the little church he loved so we'll and the story of which he was so familiar with. A requiem high mass was celebrated by Rev Father Egan, F. L. May and George Mccarthy, grandsons of the de- ceased, acting as acolytes. During the mass Mrs Thomas Keane of Danbury sang Ave Maria" Calvary" and Nearer My God To Thee." The pail bearers were M. Joseph May, James P. May, Thomas F. May, Charles May, F. T. Mccarthy and James McFadden. Interment was in the Catholic cemetery in New Milford. MT May is survived by seven children. Mary A., Margaret and Charles l.. May of Bridgewater, James P, and Joseph M. May ana Mrs Patrick Mccarthy of Danbury, and Thomas F. May of New Milford.

| wish to congratulate Prof. Clayton

to add Mrs. Hardy of Blue Mountain,

grades a success. All those who expect
to teach the first two or three grades
will be fortunate if associated with Mrs.
Hardy, as teacher. know no w beau
tiful and how successful her work has
been at Blue Mountain, am glad to give
her this testimonial, though made with
out her knowledge.
Sherman is delightful selection for
a Normal. 1t is quiet and restful. and
therefore good place to study. 1t is
healthy and good water to drink, and
the best of all is the big hearted genial
people one will be associated with there.
1t IS pleasure to be among them. l

By William Jennings Bryan.

This remarkable book of SIS
pages, voluminously illustrated
and elegantly bound, has been
issued by "The Thompson Pub

We would advise our young

tertaining and edifying volumes
we have read in a long time. 1t
was almost like retracing our
first trip around the world, with
less than one thousandth Of the
money and one-hundreth of the
time required for our first
trip"
The great problems of civiliz-
alton, religion, philosophy and
government in Japan, China, the
Philippines, India, as we'll as Eu-
rope are presented in a clear
light by a great brain.
Mr. BRYAN was accompanied
on this trip by his wife and two
younger children, William J. Jr.,
and Grace, aged 16 and Il, re-
spectfully. They started Sep
tember 21, 1905, and reached
home September 5, 1906, sixteen
day less than one year. While
most of this trip was in the
North Temperate zone, they
were below the equator a few
days in Java, and for a while
aboveithe artic circle in Norway.
This book ought to be in every
home where there are boys and
girls with brains and promise.
