BOYS WANTED A SWIM
But Did Not Hsve Inc Money lo
 Rent SUIis.

Three boys named Angelo Ross, David Cassin and Peter Karnoski were confronted with serious prob lem yesterday when old Sol was in his zenith. They wished for plunge in the baths at Hamilton park, but not having the where withal to rent swimming suits they were on their beam ends for solu- tion of the difficulty. Cassin was the richest of the trio. He had dime, but that would rent only one pair of legs or trunks" and, any way. Cassin would not go in ur- less his friends should go with him. They were up against 1t certainly.
 Peter Delehanty, who holds the H. cense for the privilege of renting bat hing trunks" at the baths, said in the city court to-day that he was on the watch for boys because many and many suit has been "swiped'' from the baths and he s the loser thereby. He said he saw Ross pass alongside where the trunks" were drying, quickly snap one off the line and put 1t in his pocket. He seized the boy and hand ed him over to Officer Delehanty. Ross said he offered to buy the trunks, but Delehanty said the of- fer was not made until after the article was removed from the line. Cassin here found an opportunity for his dime to do business and save his friend, Ross, from the clutches of the law. He rendered his dime to Delehanty-not the of ficer-but Delehanty would not ac-. cept it and the boy was taken to the station house. After consider ing the matter Judge Burpee de- cided it would be hardly right to brand the boy thief for the sake of dime and found him not guilty.

JUNE TERM ENDED
Frank Cassidy Given long Term
 inStaie's Prison.

Frank Cassidy, charged with criminal assault upon Anna Carlson, aged IS, was found guilty as charged, by the jury in the superior court room at o'clock yesterday, after a deliberation lasting almost an hour. Assistant State Attorney Kellogg moved for sentence imme- diately and Cassidy, whose age IS "A, was committed to the state prison in Wethersfeld for not less than 10 years and not more than 26 years. He was the least moved in the court room when sentence was pronounced. The alibi which he tried by number of witnesses to establish failed miserably. Even his so-called uncle, James Grant or Middlebury, could not place his movements at any period within the past year nearer than two months and under cross examination his evi- dence literally fell to pieces.
 To-day the jury was ready 10 take up the case against Henry Miller of Southbury charged with theft of articles worth SAT from Mrs Lillian Richards's wardrobe. Miller pleaded guilty and was com mitted to jail for three months.
 Miller's story was that he was working on shares with Mrs Rich ards the farm which she occupied in Southbury. Her husband has not lived with her in some time. Miller said he was given no. money from the proceeds of his toll and when he called for reckoning none was coming. He thereupon made up his mind that If the laborer was not worthy of his hire he would get out. So out he accordingly got but in going he took with him various articles of Mrs Richards ward robe thinking himself entitled to at least some souvenirs of the farm, He was represented in the case by Attorneys Lynch and Byrne.
 This completed the business of the June term of the court and ad- journment was taken.

WHAT TH0MS SAID.
Leaves Room for the Election of a
 Democratic Governor.

Some overloaded politicians were trying to-day 10 make capital out of a statement made by Mayor Thoms at the Elks' banquet Tuesday even ing. Owing 10 his official position the mayor, of course, occupied a seat of honor at the table and near him were Lieutenant Governor Everett J. Lake and Congressman q. l.. Lilley. Of course Mayor Thoms was called upon for flew re- marks" and he responded in his customary easy style. Among the things he said was one that the politicians were trying to turn to republican use. They reported the mayor in his address said we are sitting tonight with the next gov- ernor of Connecticut" The remark could be taken as an inference to either MT Lilley or Mir Lake, both of whom are candidates for the nomination for governor on the re- publican ticket. The mayor was asked if he made the remark attrib- uted to him and his answer was this: What I said was, we are sitting possibly with the next gov ernor of the state This puts an entirely different complexion on the matter and spells the politicians game as well.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Choice of entire stock knee pants suits-to-morrow, $1.50. U., s. & Go.
 The Brooklyn business men have no ball game scheduled for to-mor- row.
 The Brooklyn Business Mems baseball team will play the North End business men tomorrow after- noon, at the Golf lots.
 The management of the Water- bury base ball team is finding it rather difficult to procure good shortstop There Is no question that with a little more batting Lal- Her would become the permanent man at the halfway distance.
 The engagement has been an nounced of Miss Helen c. Lynch, daughter of MT and Mrs p. F. Lynch of "A Lafayette stret, and Joseph A. Cody, son of MT and Mrs N. Cody of Charles street. The marriage will take place the latter part of next month.
 The Mahaney girls of this sec tion are certainly making q record at the convent of Notre Dame. Four of them, Nora, Molly, Katherine and Agnes, have already graduated from the school, the last named receiving her diploma last evening, while two younger sisters are on their way to finish there. ....
 Although a large crowd assem- bled on the Bank street lot last even- ing to witness the fireworks exhibi- tion, many left before the pyrotech- nical display was set off. The exhibl- tion did not start until late in the evening and was not concluded until after II o'clock. Several arc lights were in position on the grounds and these made it very pleasant for the onlookers. The exhibition was one of the best of its kind ever given in Brooklyn and could be seen from all parts of the city. During the early hours of the evening 0rtone's band rendered a concert.
 The owners of the fruit store on Bank street formerly conducted by Joseph Garbarino are not living in a bed of roses. Tuesday the store was attached by Deputy Sheriff Steinman just after it had been sold to buyer who had visions of making all kinds of money there. It now seems that the owner did not owe the money for which the store was attached and promises to make all kinds of trou- ble for the deputy sheriff. More over, he claims that when the cash register was taken from his store by the sheriff there was $500 in it, while MT Steinman claims there was just s4.50 in the till. This Is an awful difference and somebody must be under a hallucination. The store was in charge of a keeper yesterday but everything was going along smoothly to-day.

FATHER cURTIN's JUBILEE.
First Appointment Was Under the Late Father Duggan of This City.

flFSt appointment was ShucE LID
 Late Father Duggan of This City.
 On next Monday the people of St Lawrence's church, West Haven, will unite with their pastor in ob- serving the twenty-fifth anniversary of his ordination. It requires, says the Catholic Transcript, positive mental effort to associate the junior Father Curtin with a quarter or century of arduous labor in the vineyard. The burden and the heat of the day have hardly made visible inroad on his young manhood. He has preserved in a singular degree a spirit almost boyish and after his long services the dew of youth iin- gers upon his brow.
 It is this physical and mental-that characterizes the good pastor of St Lawrence's among the 30 diocesan clergy who have completed 25. years in the priest hood. What is the secret of this long lingering adolescence? It Is to be found. We believe, in the char acter of the mana part of his mental and moral fiber. He has preserved the virtues of youth; the modesty, the self-effacement, he genuine humility which proclaim the young man of fine sense and solid Judgment. A brilliant record in school, in college and in seminary did not turn his head. The honors so coveted and so prized by the young and ambitious came to him without apparent effort and were accepted as matter of course. Though not positively despised, they were not suffered to unseat the rea- son of the Levite or tinge his career with the blight of pride.
 His first appointment was one cal- culated to test his spirit. It was the meeting and the abiding under one roof of man autocratic by nature as we'll as by conviction, and man by nature retiring and self-effacing. There was never a more jealous or more correct ecclesiastic than the founder of St Patrick's parish. Wa terbury. He was priest from head to foot and from January to Decem- Der; but like many men absorbed in the avocation of a high and exaeting mission, he had little or no thought for the opinions and the mere com- forts of others. Daily contact with him was bound either to ennoble or to unman. Father Curtin developed in this hard school. By his tender ness and affability he endeared him. self to the people and afforded an ostensible proof that even in the priesthood elements opposite and an- tagonistic can meet and work to- gether for good.
 The seven years of curacy spent at the Sacred Heart church, New Ha- ven, came to him as the spring emerges from the winter The thir- teen years spent in West Haven have been absorbed in organizing and de- yeloping the prosperous parish which delights to honor him as It's devoted head. Church building has been part of this good priests duty and he has discharged 1t with distinction and success. His voice Ig never heard in the market place and his fine abilities are wholly ,onsecrated to the moral welfare of the flock committed to his staff. They honor him and will give ample evidence of their appreciation on the day of his silver jubilee.

not demand n great deal Of trimming, but
what there is OF it Is good. Therefore
because hat has the appearance of be-
ing markedly simple. only a tyro would
come to the conclusion that 1t was cheap.

that heavy trimming often covers up Il

Directories Called Small.
Although to the uninitiated the directore
hats may appear to be Of goodly proper
tions, in reality they are now considered
as in the same class as the turbans. which
certainly have spread wondrously of re-
cent months. But what the directoire
lacks in width it makes up for in height
and in the mass OF trimming which is
piled upon it's crown. Were 1t not for
this erection of nodding plumes above
voluminous crown decorations. the most
striking hat of the winter might easily
he confused in the minds OF the old
fashioned with the poke of two decades
ago. The true directo!re, according TO
the verdict of millinery authorities. is
almost twice tall as it is wide. The
brim short in front and perfectly straight.
is turned up sharply behind, and the
crown which is trimmed high and full.
has al its right side three nodding willow
piumes. But the feature of the whole
