The celebration of the golden jubilee
of st. Michaefs parish and the re-
dedication of ST. Michaefs parish,
Sunday, was perhaps the most import
ant event in the parish since its for
nation and was participated in not on
ly by the parishioners but by many
prominent in other faiths. Although
mass was offered here since 1885, the
parish was not established until the
dedication of the church in May, 1851,
and that was the anniversary that was
observed The holy sacrifice of the
mass was first offered up in Westerly
in 1885, by Rev. James Fitton,
missionary priest, in the house of a
railroad contractor which was situated
about a mile from Pawcatuek bridge.
After this visit Father FNtton included
this neighborhood in his visitations
and returned twice each year to of
fer the holy sacrifice and otherwise
minister to the spiritual needs of the
Catholics engaged in the construction
of the railroad. But in 1887, when this
work was completed, these sturdy la
borers sought homes elsewhere, and in
1898, only two Catholics, John Ryan
and Andrew Leahy, remained in this
vicinity. There were Catholics in
Westerly at an earlier period bearing
the Celtic names of Murphy, Keegan
and Fay.
Father Fitton continued his occas-
ional visits through this section and

subsequent visits for some time there
after mass was said in the open air.
Recognizing the devotion of the apos-
tolic missionary and of his little flock
to their faith, who were not averse to
worship God out of doors, the trus-
tees of the Union meeting house final

the building for divine worship.

Rev. Patrick Duffy became the first
resident pastor of Stonington, and
Westerly was assigned to it as de-

on which St MichaeFs church now
stands, as the farther use of the I'm

After a pastorate of brief duration in
Stonington, Father Kelley was sue
ceeded by Rev. John Sheridan, who
served less than a year.
Rev. Michael O'Reilly was the next
pastor and he began preparations for
the erection of the present church.
The cornerstone was laid IN August,
1860, and the church was dedicated in
May, 1861. At this time the church

The locomotive that ran off the tracks
and tun,bIed down the emhankment
just west of the Westerly station, last
Tuesday afternoon, resulting in the
death of Engineer Beebe and injuring
two firemen, was raised and placed on
the rails Sunday morning by two huge
steam derricks The job was COM
pleted in less than three hours and
was witnessed by d large crowd The
locomotive weighs seventy-four tons
and was completely overturned and
embedded in a bank of gravel, making
the work more difficult than if the der
ricks had a straight lift on the loco
motive, which was perhaps twenty
feet distant from the rails and the
derriclls.
While engaged in the work, William

being attended by DR.. Scanlon, he
went to his home.

The floor plan of the proposed new
postoffice building, as received by
special reference to location of lights
in the work room, the furniture being
placed in position at the discretion of
the postmaster. The floor plan shows
that the building will have an arc
frontage of ninety-four feet between
the tangent points of the arc. There
will be thirty-six by sixty feet in di-
five steps besides the main platform.
which indicates that the building will
be of granite or marble and one story
in height. perhaps in style similar to
the Eostoffice building in Norwich. The
lobby will be fifteen feet wide and
fifty two feet in length, almost as large
in area as the present building, which
is twenty eight by fifty feet. The new
building will be ninety-four feet wide
at the front and seventy-two feet in
the rear. with a depth of seventy two
feet.
The postmaster's office will be in the
northwest corner of the building, with
the Office of the assistant postma ster
directly in the rear In the southwest
corner of the building, that next the
Westerly public library, will be located
the money order. registry and banking
departments, with the vault and stock
rooms in the rear. The working room
well be thirty-six by sirty feet in di-
mansions and will be equipped with
the most modern of postoffice working
appliances. In the rear of the build
ing will be the door leading to the
mailing platform. for the receipt and
delivery of mail pouches, and Access
sible to the mail wagons. The recrea-
ton room for the carriers will be in
the basement and the building will be
supplied with the very best of santa
ton. The plan received by the post
master serves it's purpose. but is not
intended to give a detailed description
of the building.

AFRAID To BUY
H|L0 THEATER
Correspondence of The Starr

Correspondence of The Starr
HILO, May 22.-No one seems anx-
ious to purchase the Gaiety theater,
in this city, which was put up at
auction on Saturday as the result of
foreclosure proceedings upon a mort
gage given by Lawson and Bailey TO
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence Eckberg. The
sale was advertised to take place at
noon, on Saturday, and at that time
it was announced that there was an
upset price placed on the property
of $4,000 and the auctioneer, Mr.. A.
S. lie Baron Quincy, called in vain
for even a single bid above this figure.
The trouble with the sale comes
from the fact that the value of the
property depends very greatly upon
land on which the main part of the
building is located, has seven years
to run, while the land on which the
entire stage is located is leased for
but four years more. Since there
is no clause providing for an exten.
son of this lease, the opportunity is
left for the owners of this land to
hold up the purchasers of the theater
for an amount which they may see
fit upon the expiration of this lease,
which has made the purchasers feel

CARBONIC ACID SNOW As A CURE

Scientific American: An interest
ing and promising method of treat
ment has lately been employed in va
rious diseases. 1t consists in the
application of intense cold to circum-
scribed and easily attainable parts OF
the body-chiefy to the external
skin, but also to the mucous Innings
of the cavities of the body.
This method, like many other APP
parently violent therapeutic proceed
ures, appears to have originated IN
America, where it was employed by
Pussy. Soon afterward it was shown
at the archaeological congress held
in Frankfort three years ago. Prac-
tical methods of applying the prin-
ciple have since been developed,
more or less successfully, by many
German physicians.
The treatment of cutaneous dis
eases by the application of cold pro-
duced by liquid air was attempted III
Germany long ago, but the results
were unsatisfactory owing to the
physical peculiarities of liquid air
and the employment of excessively
low temperatures. The American
experiments proved that the temper.

This snow is easily produced ny

The physiological effects of it's appli
cation, indeed, resemble those O
some burns, but are usually bene
fetal rather than malignant. DR.
Axmann, who describes this new

t cases which he has treated, nor ha'
r he heard of any such accident. HI
: has devised very simple and con

is attached to the mouth of the cylin

gonal rod, which can be applied di-
rectly to the skin.
The depth to which the action pen |
etrates can be regulated by the pres |
sure with which the rod of carbonic |
acid snow is applied. When the flesh |
is touched lightly it is protected by
a stratum of carbonic acid gas which
it's heat evolves from the snow, but
this insulating coating of gas is
squeezed out by vigorous pressure.
This effect, which is known as Leid-
enfrost's phenomenon, accounts for
the fact that carbonic acid snow can
be touched lightly with impunity but

firmly.
The duration of the treatment is
measured by seconds. Ten seconds
application, with firm pressure,
raises blister and entirely destroys
the outer skin; sixty or even thirty
seconds may produce deep-seated
and serious effects. If proper eau
ton is observed, however, no perma-
nent injury results. The frozen ana
pitted skin presents an alarming ap-
pearance, but in a few seconds the
normal aspect has returned and the
pain, which is usually slight, is en-
tirely gone. Inflammation, swelling,
and blisters come later, but in a week
a new skin, often free from the i'm
PROJECTIONS of the old one, is formed
The treatment is especially effica-
cious in a variety of disagreeable and
disfguring, but not serious, affections
of the skin, such as the red, blue or
brown moles which sometimes
thickly cover the face. 1t also gives
excellent results in obstinate cancer
of the skin (cancroid) and various
small tumors of the nature of warts.
The carbonic acid method is particu-

small blemishes of the skin, as it can
