The new Colonial theatre will throw open its doors this evening and let the public in. The last of the carpet was laid this afternoon, and the playhouBe presents a most attractive appearance. Manager Sullivan states the house is practically sold out, and desirable seats remaining are few and far The only disappointment the management experienced was with respect to the marble base to be placed in the rotunda.

However, the walls are so artistically decorated that few would remark the lack. The doors will be thrown open at 7:30 o'clock and the curtain will rise promptly at 8:15. had bfeen expected that the Bos-tonians who are to present "Robin Hood," would reach here this morning, but they did not get in until late this afternoon.

HER HUSBAND A CATHOLIC Eut Mrs Williams Was Unaware of His Religious Preference. The condition of John Williams, the Boston and Albany brakmen who was injured at the Junction Friday afternoon, isf very favorable and there is every probability that the man will recover. The doctors feel that he is practically out of danger. The surgeons, by the operation performed Friday night, saved all the right heel and some of the foot which will make it possible to attach an artificial foot to the part remaining. One of the first questions asked of an "accident patient" entering the hospital is as to his religion so that in case of necessity a minister of the faith may be summoned to extend divine comfort.

In the case of Williams the man said, In reply to a question by the physician that he was a Catholic, and Rev. Michael Lenoard ofsSt. Joseph's was sent for', The priest went to the House of Mercy and administered the last rites of the church to the brakeman whose injuries at that time were believed to be fatal. That evening Mrs. Williams arrived from West Springfield and oh being informed of the ircident said: Why, my husband is not a' Catholic.

I am a Baptist, but so far as I know he has no religious preference." The following morning Father Leonard went to the hosmtal and learning of Mrs. Williams', statement expressed some surprise although he immediately surmised that, as Williams was suffering intense pain, he might not have been wholly accountable for his utterances. On reaching the sick room. Father Leonard said: "I understand thjat some mistake has been made here arid that you are not a CathoTic as you professed to be the "jYe8, I am," wis the reply. "Indeed I atn a Catholic.

,1 was correct in my statement." The fact was that Mrs. although the couple had bepn married for years was unaware off the religious faith of her husband. 1 SOME REFINED VAUDEVILLE. H. S.
