mechanic.
.--- For about two weeks Hallquist has
been unable to rest nights and seemed
to be continually brooding over his job.
From Statements made by him at ran
dom it appears that Foreman Anderson
of the shop in which he worked wanted
+ a job done one way and he thought it
should be done another AS he was
naturally very sensitive and of a high
lylneryous temperament, his fellow en-
ployees made remarks in joking man
ner about his work and the poor way
in which it was done, and to these
, statements Dr. Finn attributes Hall
quist's insanity
Wednesday afternoon Hallquist stop
& and went-to' his home, but returned the
following morning and worked for a few
hours without any apparent trouble.
Toward noon it was noticed that he was
< very nervous and on asking permission
he was allowed to stay at home for the
remainder-of the day.
Friday noon he did not return to work
but his employers took no notice of his
absence, supposing that his trouble

that his fellow workmen could not help
making an occasional remark about mis-
actions
His friends state that Hallquist was
numerically guyed by his brother
workmen. He leaves family and 1t was
a pitiful sight to match the members at
his home. Mrs Hallquist sat on sofa
and asked her friends over and over
again ifolthey thought her husband

NO PART IN 1T.
Local Mail Carriers Know Nothing of
Agitation for Increase in Salaries.

Thus far Worcester mail carriers are
in ignorance of the movement reported
from western cities on the part of the
National Mail Carriers Association for
an increase in salary for its members
The movement is started with the idea
of securing a salary of $1,000 year in
stead of $1,000 as at present.
At present the wage scale for cities
of over $4,000 population is $500 for the
first year, $500 for the second, and $1,000
each year thereafter Carriers work
every day in the year and are given IS
days vacation with pay. The time off
may be taken at one time or if man
has been i'll or otherwise incapacitated
for work he may apply the time he has
been absent from duty TO the vacation
period and in this way receive a full
years salary even though he lose 10
DAYS time.

A PILGRIMAGE.
Visit to Shrine Of
St. Anne de
Beaupre.
OLDEST ON THE CONTINENT.
Trip Under Supervision Of
All Priests in Diocese
of Springfield.
OLDEST ON THE CONTINENT.

Work in connection with organization
Of a pilgrimage to st. Anne de Beau
pre-. is progressing rapidly. 1t is I'M
der the supervision of all the priests
in the diocese of Springfield. Rev. Jos.
Brouillet, pastor of Notre Dame
church, will take charge of the party,
leaving Worcester on July 10.
The shrine at ST. Anne de Beaupre
is the oldest on the continent. A very
popular tradition relates that sailors
from Brittany encountered terrible
storm in the st. Lawrence river, and
while in great danger of perishing, they
invoked St. Anne, and promised to
build a chapel in her honor wherever
they landed, if she saved them from
wrecking. They landed on the north
shore of the ST. Lawrence, about q
miles northeast of Quebec, at st. Anne
de Beaupre, then called Petit Cap.
According to their promise, they built
modest chapel, which was the sixth
church erected in New France. The
company of the 100 associates, noticing
the steady growth of the parish, gave
S12. so per year for a missionary to go
once a year and perform such religious
duties as were necessary.
1t was in 1645 that the first priest
settled at st. Anne de Beaupre, NJ. de
St. Lauveur of Quebec. After him, the
Tesuits took charge there. Rev. Yer
mont in 1916, and Rev. Duquess in 1641
and 164S.
In 1850 the first concessions of land
were made by the government to the
colonists at Petit Cap. Until this date
services We're held in the little chapel
built by the sailors or il the largest
and most convenient log house in the
parish. But in 1858 Etienne de LesSart,
seeing the religious inclination of the
people, gave a tract of land STIMULATING
that construction of the church should
begin Immediately, and be finished
without any interruption.
This offer was made in the month of
March, and during the same month
Rev. Mr. Vignale and NJ. d Aillebout.
then governor of New France, went to
lay the corner stone of the church
which is known today all over the
world.
