Two Waterbury ,Missioners who separated several months ago in Madagasgar will be reunited short ly in their city, Waterbury.

 While in Madagasgar both Father Brady and Father Newman were stationed in the same mission, slept under the same roof and together enjoyed reading the Waterbury Democrat which arrived at the is- land off the southwestern coast of the African continent, sometimes six weeks after It's publication, due to irregular boat schedules, and the

John Newman was sent to Mada~ gasgar while Rev. Thomas returned to Altamount as a professor and has been stationed there since.
 Rev. John H. Newman returned from Madagasgar in the later part of 1886 and has since been treated at St. Mary's hospital for illness. He was the principal speaker at the an- nual communion breakfast of St. Patrick's Holy Name society which took place at the Lyceum, Sunday May 30th, and ct that time described conditions on the Island which h the property of the French govern ment. He told of the Improvements granted during the past several years and of his pleasant association with Father Brady.

Anyway, that's the feeling of old Out East. We like him; we have always admired and held In high esteem the Magners of Brooklyn. And Jim Wagner, the lieutenant, is one of them. Why. say, years ago, Out East and Brooklyn worked hand in hand: we were neighboriy: we were friends: we were cordial toward each other; we were loyal to one another, and today we are just as keen for the success of our friends of yesterday. as we were inthe olden days when our asso- citations were more intimate when we find they are now.

Our con- sistuency out here comprises a number of policemen. yes, and a numbre of firemen, all good and tried citizens, credit to our dis trict, and the city which employ them. We ourselves, have a keen feeling of kindness toward the police and fire departments. We don't like to hear anything i'll said of any members of these departments; as a matter of fact we dislike to hear i'll things said about any individual. Our dispo- sition is to be friendly; we love the friendship of our people out here, and in other parts of the city, too. We think of the old fam lilies. the good deeds of the past as performed by them: their loy- alty to state and church. and the sacrifices they made in behalf of the fine children they brought in- to the world.
 My friends. Waterbury is a good city: the people are good: they were always good: they were brought up that way. The Magners were included: who could right fully say wrong of any person bearing the name of Wagner; not in our presence: we wouldn't peg- init it. Jim Magner has been . poe llceman too long to be unjustly assailed by a stranger: we didn't like it. and SO we desire to go on record as favoring and express ing our c0ngratulation for the work of the men who painted the
