PREPARE TO SNEEZE.
The Dreaded Influenza Will soon be
 Here


 Influenza the disease which has been epidemic in Europe for some time. is believed to have reached this country, and if this belief is founded on fact Waterbury cannot expect to escape from the peculiar ailment. Nobody need be alarmed, for the disease is seldom fatal and of short duration. It comes as if with the wind, and goes as quickly. The principal precaution should be to lay in good supply of handkerchiefs. The old farmers in Connecticut use the name of influenza for very ordinary kinds of colds, and they would be consl- dered right If the colds were epidemic,
 The nature of influenza is an intlam- nation of the mucous membrane throughout the whole body, which is characterized by peculiar and indefi mite feeling of sickness, lassitude and weariness, together with a severe neu ralgic pain in the back. The patient afflicted thus presents a pc culiar, anX ious expression of countenance, with : sallow complexion, watery eyes anc contracted brows. If the focus of the disease is located in the nose or throat we have all the symptoms of influenza If situated in the bowels the symptoms resemble those of typhoid fever, and no unfrequently do we find cases in whicl the nervous element is predominant, st that the case may resemble spina | meningitis.

CREED CONTRASTS.

An Address Before the Young
 Mems Catholic Literary Associa-
 ton
 The lecture of the Rev F. J. Murphy last evening before the Y. M. c. l.. A. was we'll attended, notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, and it's delivery in free and easy style caused it to be heard with much pleasure. The sub feet, "Creed Contrasts, indicates that it was comparison between Protestant creeds and the Catholic faith. Ritual trated as an imitation of Catholic itur- gital methods, without the essence of the latter. The exercise of private judgment, which is the basis of Protest antism had resulted in the formation of several hundred sects, each claiming to correctly interpret the bible, with a re- suit that needed no interpreter to assert the failure of that principle to ascertain | what the bible did teach. Private judg- ment had resulted in infidelity and the rejection of all authority, living and traditional The rapid decline of all modern creeds was illustrated by the proposition to so modify the Westmin- ster confession as to eliminate it's dis tinctive feature. Calvinism. The many trials for heresy are evidence that mod ern creeds had lost their hold on proml- nent clergy, and the freedom with which so many assert the loosest state ments without hindrance, proves that each individual is having creed of hls own. The lalty under such influences have followed in the same track, anC the secular press has become the echo rather than the guide it once was.
 After the review of Protestant varia.
 tions and it's dire results, the speaker devoted the latter half of his lecture tC
 illustrating the fact that Catholic faiti
 never denied what had once been taugh,
 and it's unity had led to its being the one
 object of corubinal attack from all the
 divergent Protestent bodies, a testimony
 which spoke for itself, in favor of tho
 survival of the fittest, the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, the aground and pillar of the truth
 The lecturer was followed by addresse by the Rev Fathers Mulcahy, Walsh ant , Fleming and c. Collard Adams.

TRUANCY IN WATERBURY.

State Truant Officer Judson rays
 Compliment to St Mary's school. To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 The city's truant officer has found large number of youth on the streets m a certain part of the city which is within the limits of the parish of the lmmacu- late Conception, and on questioning them they have invariably replied that they attended St Mary's school. Princl- pal Crosby handed the list of those of school age to the Rev J. Fl. ODonnell, superintendent of St Marys school, hay ing previously marked ''R' opposite those attending the Ridge street school, with the request that he mark those attending St Marys. The result was that not one of them is on the register of St Mary's.
 During this week the state truant officer, Mir Judson, has been in town 1 investigating these cases, and on Tues day afternoon compared the list of such truants with St Mary's school and ve IT. l fled the fact that of the seven hundred and sixty enrolled at St Mary's,
 but two are playing truancy.
 Having done this he made a visit to each room beginning with the highest, No 13, and found that notwithstanding the un- favorable day hardly pupil was absent. | When room No 3 was reached, where | the childrenS, age averages seven years, | the blackboard was used in testing their readiness and correctness in arithmetic. The result led him to state to the pupils
 in that room tha, he had not witnessed
 such proficiency in the six hundred
 schools he had inspected during the two
 years he has been employed by the state. On visiting rooms No and was treat to
 a similar test and again expressed his
 surprise and qualification at the result.
 He even said to the Rev J. H. ODonneil
 in the presence of the writer, that he
 would make a special report on these
 rooms to the state superintendent oi
 schools, MT Hine, and volunteered the opinion that the school deserved to re receive it's share of the state appropria tion for schools. When he learned thai the Rev Father O'Donnell devoted all hi: time to the care of the schools, and tha the teachers were all trained ones witl
 many years of experience, he said hs understood the reason for the superior ity he had witnessed.
 This afternoon at 3 o'clock, MT Judsol
 is to again visit the school for the pur pose of hearing read the monthly re
 port of rooms 13 and 12, when he wll have an opportunity of further express ing himself if occasion arises.
