' The purple and black draperiei
which were put on the rectory and
church of the Immaculate Conception
soon after the death of Father 8 lo
cum last Thursday, were taken down
thla morning and things about the
place are getting back to normal con.
dltlons, although everybody says that
they cannot realize that the pastor la
gone and will be with them no more.
Leo Courtemanche of Boston, deco
rator for the Curran Dry Goods Co;
had charge of . the' work and did it
in a manner which drew forth en
comiums on all sides, the priests and
others pronouncing it a great artistic
triumph in that line. Over 6,000
yards of material was used and every,
thing was in its own place.
l Notwithstanding all that has been
ald and written about Father Slocum
the subject is still new. and for the
time being has put politics in the
background.
' Almost everybody you meet Intro
duces something 'in reference to the
character of the dead prelate, who ap
pears to have had the rare good for
tune of being appreciated and loved
in his own day and time. Really,
every soul in town acts as if he felt
like saying in the language of John
Boyle O'Reilly, the gifted singer:
"When friends look back from the
years to be, ' ,.
God grant they may say such things
of me." ' '
" But every man is not blessed with
the charming personality which did
so much to endear Monslgnor Slocum
to his fellow men, and the most many
of us can do is take a lesson from his
life and aim to be as much like him
as we' possibly can be. It is admitted
that he was an exception and that
communities rarely see such men, but
even at that if he had been even more
Godlike, his fellow townsmen of all
creeds and colors and the church to
whose service he gave the best there
was in him, could not possibly have
bestowed greater honor upon h!m
than- was shown yesterday, so that
even from a worldly point of view his
life should be an inspiration and
guiding Star' for all men.' Probably
the best thing We can say of him now
that his labor here Is done; and he
will walk with us no more, is that he
was as pleasing in' the sight of the
Divine Master as he. was in the eye
of those who knew him in this life. '
Much credit is due to Father
O'Brien and the other priests of the
parish for the admirable' way in
which1 every detail of the funeral was
carried out. . '
' Right Rev BiBhop Beavan, chancel
lor John G. Murray,- Rev Thomas S.
Duggan of Hartford and others had
dinner at the rectory of the Immacu
late Conception parish after which
the bishop and party left for Hart
ford in Mr O'Neill's touring car, the
same that brought them here, follow.

car. :. Some of the visiting priests had
dinner with friends and the rest were
accommodated at The Elton.
IN MEMORIAM
The noisy voice of the city.
Was hushed to a monotone,
As they followed the bier in sorrow,
' - While bis soul passed on alone.
And his robe of purple velvet,
His golden chalice of love, -
Are left to the hearts who mourn
" him, - ;
He will not need them above.
The deeds of his life are the symbols
He takes to the throne on nign,
, They were the. safeguards about him
, And he did not fear to die. .
He's read his last mass from the
altar, . ' '
His last "Hall Marys" are said,
His hands have been Raised the last
time .-'"
In blessing above your head, "i
And the hearts , of all his people
- Will cherish some tender tone,
Of love and comfort, he gave them
; When in grief they came alone.
To ask Ms comfort and blessing
And they never came in vain,
So keep the tender memory
.He cannot counsel again. -
But his blessing, surely he sends you
With his love it will descend, '
An honored priest and father, to you
. To all, a man and a friend.
And many who shared not in his
faith, - ' ' '
Held his friendship, warm and
true,
So the city is bowed la sorrow,
And all mourn, Father, for you.

JOE LEITEIi'S PLUNGE
Chicago, - Oct. ) 27. Revelations
showing the poverty of Lord and
Lady Curzon who Was Mary Leiter,
after their return from India where
they had ruled oyt millions of sub
jects In regal splendor and disclosure
of the actual sunt $9,000,000 that
"Joe" Leiter dropped In his famous
plunge In the wheat pit were made
public for the first time yesterday in
the suit of Hugh Crabbe against the
Zelgler Coal company for. $416, on
trial In Judge Eberhardt's court.
Because of Letter's unfortunate
speculation as was shown his allow
ance is now only 64,000 a year while
both his sisters are receiving more
than twice this amount. Lady Cur
zon's poveryt followed her to her
grave. When she sand Lord Curzon
returned to England they could not
open their magnificent London house
Carlton House Terrace, but were
forced to. take rooms in a hotel and
live Inexpensively while waiting for
funds to arrive from America. . The
financial difficulties of the Curzons
were caused by the immense dralm
made, upon Lady . Curzon's purse by
their establishment and entertain
ment in India. 1
, At this time however, Lord Cur
zon and his' children are ' receiving
$68,000 a year from the. Levi Z.
Leiter estate besides the .income
from $1,700,000 placed in ' trust.
Joseph Leiter receives 4,500 a month
from the estate. When he dropped
$9,000,000 in the wheat pit his
father assumed $7,000,000 of the
burden. When he died however he
charged each one of the children up
with the money thev had received
from him before his death. Lady
Suffolk .who was Miss Daisy Leiter
receives an income of $1-25,000 ,a
year, as also does her sister, Mrs
Colin Campbell, formerly Nancy
Leiter. ' J -
Lady Curzon's letter In which she
told of her financial straits was writ
ten to Hugh Crabbe In February
In 1907. A short time after this
Lady Curzon died and Lord Curzon
received a settlement in part of the
L..Z. Leiter estate.? it appears that
he- was' paid - too much money and
because of this he Was informed that
his income from the estate would be
forwarded to him less $10,700. His
Lordship expressed ."horror" . at this
and said so plainly in a letter to Mr

TO MANTJTACTTJBE BEER. v
liauor Dealers Mav Start a Brewery
' in Hartford. -
New Haven, Oct 27. Plans are be
ing made by the Retail Liquor Deal
ers' association of Connecticut to
manufacture their own' beer, and an
opinion is now held by the associa
tion to buy a brewery In Hartford,
where the beverage will be mae'e for
dealers throughout the state. A meet
ing will be held In New Haven In the
Knights of Columbus building Octo
ber 29, when local dealers and dele
gates from all over the state will meet
to decide definitely upon the question.
The reason that the rtall dealers
are planning to manufacture their
own beer Is that the brewers refuse
to lower the price, although It is said
that a reduction has been made all
over the country except in Connecti
cut,, where there is a state association
of brewers. The price of beer here
is $12' a barrel. Throughout the
country it ranges from $9 to $12.
The price a year ago, befoie the
brewers made the increase, was $11
a barrel.
' It was stated In the offices of the
several breweries In the city yester
day afternoon that there was little If
any real foundation for the report.
In several of the offices it was denied
that such a move was under contem
ulatlon. In one of them it was said
that it had just been heard in the
office and that it had also been heard
that a brewery was to be opened on
State street. ,

Cleared Path, Before Him by Bran
, dishing a Horsewhip.
The people In the vicinity of West
Side hill , were thoroughly scared
about si 1 o'clock this morning when
they learned that a crazy man was
running through the streets brand
ishing a horsewhip in his hand and
lashing everybody who came in his
Way. They later breathed a sigh of
relief when they heard that the man
was arrested before he had done any
serious accident. Patrolman Maurice
Healey brought him to the station.
The man gave his name as Charles
Brown but the police do not think
It right. He has been employed the
past two months by James Tyler of
Mlddlebury but the past few days he
was acting 'queerly, so this morning
Mr Tyler discharged him. ' Tyler
was later driving to town and agreed
to bring Charles with him as the lat
ter Is said to have resided on South
Leonard street until a short time
ago. -
On West Side, hill Brown Jumped
from the wagon and grabbing the
horsewhip started pell mell through
the street. He lashed every man
woman and child who crossed -his
path and struck Ernest Clark, a
young man, such a vicious blow on
the face that a cut of six inches in
length was made. Before be had
gone very far though he was arrest
