OPENING GAME
 OF BASE BALL
Manager McDermott Has Fast est Team Yet.-Will Play Ashland of Jewett City on June 1st.
Up to Fans to Attend If They Wan,
 National Pastime Here

Manager Tom McDermott will open Putnam's base bail season Sunday, June ist, at p. m., on the old fair ground diamond. Manager Tom states that he positively has the fast est team that has ever played in a Putnam uniform, and says that if he gets support from local fandom he will keep the quality of ball up to the past high standard and then little more- 'I have the goods," said Man ager McDermott, Wednesday. ''I am not at liberty to disclose the names of some of my players, but, believe you me, they are fast lot and will give a good account of themselves and fur ask for. It all depends upon support. If there is any encouragement there will be high class base ball in Putnam this summer If the games are not supported there will be nothing doing I have been told that games are want ed, and # this is SC and there are good turn-outs at home games, there will be live base ball all season."
 The opening team is the Ashlands of Jewett City, and it is said to be one hot little aggregation of base ball handlers The stronger the better, is what Putnam thinks. The batteries will be: Ashlands, Reiger and Chase; Putnam, Doyle and Kelley. Eddie Jansen will preside over the indicator. The bell rings at p. m. June 1st, and big crowd will mean good sport to follow.

such an occasion. One of the pleas ant features of the day was the an nouncement that St. Mary's parish debt had been cleaned from the slate. Just what this means is evident when it is stated that with the advent of Fr. Bedard in the latter part of 1912 the parish was carrying a debt of close to thirty thousand dollars. Not only has this been wiped out by the indefatigable efforts of the present pastor, but he has also erected rec tory at cost of about $20, ,000, spent hundreds of dollars in remodeling and decorating the interior of the church, remodeled and renovated the old convent building for occupancy of the parochial school, bought addi- tional ground to enlarge St. Mary's cemetery and many less important im- provements, all of which have enhanc- ed the value of St Mary's parish many thousands of dollars.
 1t must have indeed been pleas ure to the jubilarian to listen all day to songs of praise for his fine record as student and as a priest for the past twenty-five years. From the mass in. the morning until the final number at the Bradley theatre, the keynote of each and every address was admiration for the life of the man and the pastor.
 At s o'clock there was a mass for the children of the parish, who re- ceived holy communion.
 At 10 o'clock was a solemn high mass sung by the Rev. Charles F. Bedard. The ceremony lasted for two

TWO BURGLARIES AT
 EMPIRE THEATRE
Lenses Valued At $1OO Stolen From Operators Booth.-
 Manager Has Suspicious

Two burglaries have occurred al the Empire theatre during the last six weeks, and each time sterio Tense and a motion picture lense, valued at about $50, were taken. The last occasion was some time during Tues day night The theft was not dis covered until Wednesday, too late to allow of another lense being secured, so that no show could be given in the evening.
 Why anyone should want these lenses is mystery, as they could not be used or sold in Putnam. Manager Smith leans to the opinion that they may have ben taken for spite. He states that he has suspicious and un- less the lenses are returned there is trouble ahead for some one, as he has had an officer at work on the case. A reward has been offered foi information leading to the arrest oi the burglar and as burglary is seri ous offense under the statute the thie. has possibly long term of year staring him in the face if convicted.
 The lenses were taken from the op erating booth in both instances.

Cram. He alluded to the Last Sup
 per when Christ bade His disciples to go forth and preach the gospel. When Christ broke bread as symbolical of His blood, which has become tho holy sacrifice of the mass used fer 1900 years, and which will continue unto eternity.
 This occasion Is one of love and joy" said the speaker Let us re- joice. If there ever was joyous oc- casion it is to celebrate one's silver jubilee Because he is priest he ia as dear to us as our own kith and kin the Rev Charles Francis Bedard. whose silver jubilee we come to eels- brate."
 Twenty-Five years ago today" continued Fr. McCrann, "the joyous heart of humble young man was touched on his ordination day and his whole being was filled with zeal. He was touched by the Prelate and aross a disciple of Christ as were the dis ciples of whom Christ said, Father, as Thou hast sent me I send them that they may save human souls"
 The speaker held the close attea- tion of the large audience for half n hour as he outlined the holy duties ef priesthood and the power to forgive sins that the forgiven may have an, other chance and start afresh. He then alluded more personally to ths jubiliarian and extolled his spiritual and physical works during the part twenty-five years. It was 12 by tke
