' " At the meeting of the St. Vincent de Paul society of Waterbury, the money contributed towards the proposed pub- lic reception to Father Slocum was re- ceived for distribution among the poor of the city. The people of the Im- maculate . Conception parish of that city desired to show their joy at the re- turn of their pastor from Palestine by giving him a monster parade and recep- tion, but to this Father Slocum, with his accustomed modesty and aversion ,to public display would not accede. He suggested, instead that the money contributed for this purpose be devoted to some charitable object. To this most laudable scheme those who generously contributed, joyfully assented. ' Ajvote of thanks was given to the reverend pastor and to the contributors by the St. Vincent de Paul society. Has Sold Cut. Mr. Peter L.

It is almot unnecessary to speak of the playing of Sousa’s peerless band, or of the admirable conductor, John Philip Sousa, whose fame as a composer of marches is as great as that of Strauss, as a composer of waltzes. The popular conductor gets from his forces a delica- cy of shading, expression. precision and accuracy that is marvelous, and he infuses the music with a magnetic per- sonal charm of his own, which accounts for much, in its hold on the public. He plays fine music With breadth and pow- er, and he gives to popular ‘airs a charm which they fail to achieve in any other rendering. This makes the en- cores, with which the leader is exceed- ingly generous, the most popular feat- ure of a Sousa concert. “Molly and I and the Baby,” and “Sweet Marie” are played as if they were classical melo- dies. Easter Mdnday, at Hoyt’s. A Temperance Town. Hoyt’s' famous play, “A Temperance Town,” appeared before a fair audience at Hoyt’s Theatre last night.

The criminal side of the court of Com- mon Pleas was finished up very quickly yesterday. The prisoners who had pleaded guilty the day before were sentenced in quick order, and when the court came in yesterday there was a wholesale forfeiture of bonds. The first bondscalled‘were those of Thomas Plunkett, Charles Kent and John King, all charged with violating the pool law in Stamford. The charges against the three men'have been hang- ing since last summer. None of the ac- cused ‘ were present. They have had enough of Connecticut justice to make them dread coming into the state again. Patrick Doran was surety for Plunkett and Kent; Jehn O’Neil was surety for King. ' Alice Clark forfeited her bond to“ $175... Amandus Bach was her surety‘ Mrs. Clark brought a suit against Com' modore Burritt and it was heralded tha s 01:10 startling sensations would be made- But the case was never brought to trial.
