Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-10-27

The purple and black draperies which were put on the rectory and church of the Immaculate Conception soon after the death of Father Slo- cum last Thursday, were taken down this morning and things about the place are getting back to normal con- ditions, although everybody says that they cannot realize that the pastor Is gone and will be with them no more. Leo Courtemanche of Boston. deco rator for the Curran Dry Goods Co, had charge of the work and did 1t In manner which drew forth en- comiums on all sides, the priests and others pronouncing it great artistic triumph in that line. Over 5000 yards of material was used and every thing was in it's own place.
 Notwithstanding all that has been said and written about Father Slocum the subject Is still new and for the time being has put politics in the background.
 Almost everybody you meet intro duces something in reference to the character of the dead prelate, who ap- pears to have had the rare good for tune of being appreciated and loved in his own day and time. Really, every soul in town acts as If he felt like saying in the language of John Boyle O'Reilly, the gifted singer: When friends look back from the
 years to be, God grant they may say such things
 of me-"
 But every man is not blessed with the charming personality which did so much to endear Monsignor Slocum to his fellow men, and the most many of us can do is take lesson from his life and aim to be as much like him as we possibly can be. It Is admitted that he was an exception and that communities rarely see such men, but even at that if he had been even more Godlike, his fellow townsmen of all creeds and colors and the church to whose service he gave the best there was in him, could not possibly have bestowed greater honor upon him than, was shown yesterday, so that even from worldly point of view his life should be an inspiration and guiding star for all men. Probably the best thing we can say of him now that his labor here is done, and he will walk with us no more, is that he was as pleasing in the sight of the Divine Master as he was in the eye of those who knew him in this life.
 Much credit is due to Father O'Brien and the other priests of the parish for the admirable way In which every detail of the funeral was carried out.
 Right Rev Bishop Beavan, chancel- Tor John c. Murray, Rev Thomas s. Duggan of Hartford and others had dinner at the rectory of the Immacu- late Conception parish after which the bishop and party left for Hart ford in Mir O'Neill's touring car, the same that brought them here, follow ed by Attorney Holden in his private car. Some of the visiting priests had dinner with friends and the rest were accommodated at The Elton.

She was wee scrap of thing just three years old. but with soul of a heroine shining out of her great brown eyes. It was her first visit to the zoo, and the babel of queer noises and rows of strange big beasts might well have daunted her baby heart. But she scorned to seem afraid. Only when they approached the towering form of the elephant did she draw back.

IN MEMoRIAM

The noisy voice of the city
 Was hushed to a monotone, AS they followed the bier in sorrow, While his soul passed on alone. And his robe of purple velvet, His golden chalice of love, Are left to the hearts who mourn
 him,
 He will not need them above. The deeds of his life are the symbols He takes to the throne on high, They were the. safeguards about him And he did not fear to die. He's read his last mass from the His last last Hail Marys" are said, His hands have been raised the last In blessing above your head. And the hearts of all his people Will cherish some tender tone, Of love and comfort. he gave them When in grief they came alone. To ask his comfort and blessing And they never came In vain, So keep the tender memory
 He cannot counsel again. But his blessing, surely he sends you With his love it will descend, An honored priest and father, to you To all, a man and friend. And many who shared not in his
 faith, Held his friendship, warm and
 true,
 So the city is bowed in sorrow, And all mourn, Father, for you.

New York, Oct 27.-The con spiracy count in the indictment upon which Charles Morse and Alfred Cur tiss are being tried in the United States court was dismissed by Judge Hough to-day. The count related to charges of misappropriation in con- nection with the s60.000 note given by President Sturgis of the Conti- mental Finance Co in February. 1ap7. as part payment for ice stock bought from MT Morse.
