KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS. They Hold Their First Picnic at Meri

They Hold Their First Picnic at NIeri. den.
 The Knights of Columbus picnic at Meriden
 yesterday was a successful affair. The spe
 cial objects of the picnic were to raise funds
 to defray the expenses of the supreme officers in instituting new councils, and to give the
 members of the order a chance to become ae-
 quainted with each other. The order, which
 was first formed less than three years ago, now numbers about 700 members, of whom about 300 belong in Meriden. Rev. M. J. McGivney of St. Mary's church, this city, organized the first council, San Salvador, in New Haven, and for over year it was the only one in the State, but during that time Father McGivney and the officers of the Elm City council were busy interesting Catholics in different parts of the State in the forma- tion of councils. Silver City council of Meriden was the second one formed. The new organization became popular there that another council, Washington, was formed and only a short time ago a third one, Genoa, was instituted. Since that time councils have been formed in Wal1ingford, Middletown, Cromwell and Portland and Sunday a council was instituted with eight cen charter members at Branford. Member ship in the order is confined ex- of the order are told in it's motto-''C -''Charity, Love and Faith. To Father McGivney and Supreme Grand Knight Mullen, of New Haven, is due largely the credit for the interest taken in the order, for their efforts in it's behalf have been un- tiring. The order is sanctioned by Bishop McMahon and the other clergy of the dio- cese.
 Among those present from this city were: Grand Knight P. H. Cosgrove, Deputy Grand Knight P. T. McMahon, Grand Knight J. J. Cannon and sixty other Knights.

Yale Business Co1Iege-Ean Term.


 The fall term of the Yale Business college opens next Monday. The reputation of the institution as means of fitting young men for business life has become thoroughly es tablished as one of high character, and parents who have had sons under it's training render grateful tribute to it and most cordi- ally lend it their unqualified endorsement. The untiring energy of it's head and chief has brought the school into extended notice as a model, and it stands among the first. The curriculum embraces what is most required for the purpose in view and the teaching is in the hands of able instructors. All the various departments of trade, retail, whole sale, jobbing and commission, banking, rail roading, brokerage, etc., are taught in the manner that long experience proves to be most productive of good results. Pupils are given thorough practical as well as theo- retical knowledge of the subjects taught, and the school accomplishes what it professes. Its facilities are unrivalled and deservedly popular.
