Obituary.
Mi;-. N w v Wilkinson Mi- v
t.ail.v in the morning of the Iasi day
of September, died peacefully at Pom
fret, t onn., one of Windham County's
daughters.
At the rij«e ace of vs years Mrs. Xan
l c.v " ilkinson Mnwn passed away, she
was a daughter of Smith W ilkinson,
the founder and pioneer of Putnam.
After years spent in other parts of
the country, one year ago she turned
her steps towards her old home, w here
she calmly aw ailed the summons to
depart.
Mrs. Mason was well known to many
in Pomfret and Putnam, and in all her
i ' tried life she spent much time in
Pomfret, and her heart always turned
back with losing interest to her old
home.
She was a rare woman, retaining to
her old age her sprightly and agreeable
manners, her ready wit, and, above all,
i her great capacity for friendship, and
her deep interest in her fellow beings.
Her hand was always ready to help,
and her purse open to all calls.
She had many sorrows and bore them
with patience and Christian fortitude.
Few had so many friends, and gave j
in return such devoted friendship.
The past twenty years she resided in
Washington, w here many loved and,
miss her, and where she w as the centre !
of a large circle that she adorned in-I
deed.
Mrs, Mason left many friends in New j
Kngland, and she was glad to come j
back to the scenes of her childhood, .
and be near the last resting place of
those she loved.
Most of the large family from which
she came lie in the quiet, peaceful Put
nam cemetery, and there she w as laid
tieside them.
This little tribute to her memory but
faintly tells of her loyal heart and no
ble deeds, her Christian character and
her abiding faith in a future life.

Last week we aniwimo'il tbn dnlli
of Right Rev. Michael Tlern^-, Ui«h«|i
of the Roman t’atnolte Diocese of Hart
ford, who died at hla home then* last
week Monday, from the etlects of a
stroke of apoplexy, which he suffered
the Saturday night previous.
i’rotestant ministers of the larce ci
ties of the State, vied with the clergy
and newspapers of his own church in
lauding him for his noble character
and eminent services in the cause of
education, religion and in the moral
niov ements that reached out to al! class
es of people.
The (,'ourant says: “A* he was hon
ored throughout his long life, so was
Bishop Michael Tierney honored, re
verenced and mourned at hia funeral
held on Friday morning in HI. Joseph's
l athedral. There were about 's*> bish
ops and priests of the Catholic faith
alone al the funeral. There were rep
resentatives from all the Kastem.and
adjoining Stales. They completely
tilled llie sanctuary and tt was necessa
ry to seat many in ttie church proper.
The expression of sorrow was written
deep on llieir countenances, because of
the loss of a beloved and capable lead
er.
“Clergy from all the other religious
denominations in the city were prc-ent
also to honor;the memory of Bishop
Tierney. It was not a nuestlon of ereod,
—it was the man. Hartford clergy men
have long realized the exceptional .jiia'
lly of the work accomplished by the
late Bishop, amt it was because of this
that they assembled at the funeral, oc
cupying seats in a body In the front of
the church.
“The chief executives of the Slate
and city were numbered among the
mourners as well as many of the lead
ing professional men of the city. Bish
op Tierney although always very much
occupied with religious activities, was
never too busy to undertake a charita
ble or educational task, and little did
it matter the extent of the organiza
tion. The larger its scope the greater
the zeal he displayed in his work. For
many years he was a vice-president of
the Connecticut Humane Society and
Itev. i)r. Deloss far vc, president of the
society, attended the funeral.”
We can give but a condensed biogra
phical sketch of the noted decvawd,
which occupied columns of litharge
city |ia|>crs.
The Bight Itev. Michael Tierney, du
ring his thirteen years at the head of
tlic Catholic Diocese of Connecticut,
built many churches, and w as identi
fied w ith the founding and building of
many hospitals, educational institu
tions and other diocesan department*.
The great influx of foreigners to the
manufacturing centres, presented unu
sual church problems which he was
called u|H>n to solve.
Bishop Tierney was boro in County
Tipperary, Ireland, on September —
1 When he w hs eight years old his
parents moved to Norwich, and nfter
his lirst school training, he went to SI.
Thomas Academy, Bard-lown, Ky.
He completed Ids theological studies at
St. Joseph's Seminary, Troy, X. V.,
and there was ordained by Bishop Con
roy, on May -*i, lsw>.
The young priest was sent to Provi
dence, where he I arc a me nelorof the
cathedral and chancellor of the diocese.
His lirst transfer was to SC Mary's
Church, New London, and later lie
went to St. Patrick's Church, Norw ich;
St.John's Church, Stamford, then to
Hartford, and after six years, to St.
Mary’s, at New Britain, in Is'ii. Dur
ing the pastorate there he became ac
tively identified with the temperance
movement.
On Thursday, January h, iv.w, t-atn
er Tierney was formally Informed of
his elevation to the episcopate, and he
was consecrated in St. Joseph’s Cathe
dral, Hartford, iFebruary 22, 1H94, by
the late Most Rev. John Williams, of
Boston.
During hla administration Bishop
Tierney founded St. Mary’s Home foe
the Aged.iin West Hartford; St. Thom
as's Seminary, Hartford; St. Patrick's
Hospital, Hartford, and was largely In
strumental in the founding of St. Ma
ry's Hospital Waterbary; HI. Raphael's
Hospital In New Haven; St. Vincent's
Hospital, in Bridgeport, and St. Jo
seph’s Hospital, in Willlmantie. He
also founded St. John’s Industrial
School for Boys at Deep River; St. Vin
cent's Day Nursery, in Hartford, and
the House of the Good Shepherd.
He introduced the Christian Broth
ers, who have charge of the Catholic
High School for Boys, the Xaviertaa
Brothers at Deep River, the Little Sis
ter* of the Poor at New Haven, the
Sisters of the Holy Ghost, who have
couimuilies In Bridgeport, Waterbury,
Hartford and New Haven, and the Sis
ter* of St. Joseph, whose Mother House
is in Hartford.
The State con vention of the < h rlstlan
Endeavor, at iU annual session in
Bridgeport, passed resolutions of regret
on the death of Bishop Michael Tier
ney, at a meeting last Saturday even
ing. The resolutions alluded to the
splendid work for tcinjierance perform
ed by the deceased Bishop, and hi* up
lifting work for morality in the State.
Thi* D perhaps the first instance on re
cord in the Slate of a purely Protest
ant organisation passing resolutions of
condolence on the death of a ( atholie
prelate.

A meeting of the diocesan consnltors
and |*-rm*tienl rector* of the IHiew*
of Hartford was held after Bishop Tier
ney's funeral, Friday, and the thirteen
clergymen—being all those entitled to
vole on such an occasion—nominated
I three priests for the vacant bishopric.
, These three names—which were not
I made public, w ill be submitted to a
[ meeting of the bishops of the Province

O’iXmnell, and after they—or perhaps
some other three names—have been ap
proved by that body, the names will
be sent to Home—the final decision

eoitec. The election cake was made
from a very old recipe handed down to

Governor Trumbull.

To say that I thank you for your act

resent you to the best of my ability.
Hut, gentleman, the day has gone by
when a nomination 1* synonymous
with election. We have got to do
■omelhlng in order to roll up the ma
jority we should roll up In this grand
old town.
It would be uselcas for me to attempt
to set my record before you. It la Ilka
an open book that any one might read.
Hut for some of the younger ones pres

Haan since the organization of the par

The Republican party has Invaria

question. Look back forty years and
you will Hnd every law upon the sta
tute book, that stands for expansion
and elevation, was ptt there by the
Republican party. Ho 1 have stood by
It. With regard to the part I have
taken personally, I have ridden all
over this grand old Windham county
at the, head of anywhere from one to
three hundred men shouting myself
hoarse.
Those limes have gone by, and torch
light processions, and the like, are
thing- of llie past- We have our Itt

divided on non-essential*—as we have

we are rapidly approaching the essen

Poring the last night of our journey,
coming here, »» eocoiintereil it small
port of what, at a ahort distance away,
was a destructive hurricane. A week
later the steamer Caracas lay helpless
for more than .*> hours, with the cap
tain strapped on the brlitite amt the
passenger* locked in the dining room
below.
Last Sunday I saw people boarding
up their windows, and during the
night previous the tire department of
San Juan was on duty on the streets
from fear that the tornado prophesied
might come and cause a eontlagratlou.
However, as good tuck would have It,
the storm did not touch the island, hut
passed by about fifty miles away. It
may l>e remembered that some eight
years ago a destructive hurricane laid
waste the eoilce-produoing district,
from which it has not recovered to Ihls
day No wonder that i'orto lUeo dreads
the coming of a hurricane.
