 -In almost all of the churches in the city the pastors are often consider ably annoyed and disturbed by the capers of few persons who come to the church and occupy the rear seats, take no part in the devOtiOns or ser- vices, but do all they can to annoy and disturb those who are paying the proper attention. More than once different pastors have spoken on this subject and advised the disturbers to remain away from the devotions rather than mock them by their actions and conduct. Therefore many people will be pleased to hear of the decisive action taken in regard to such people by the Rev Father Saurusaitis, pastor of St Joseph's Lithuanian church, on last Sundya at mass. While Rev Father Saurusaitis was celebrating mass he was disturbed by several per sons talking and laughing. He was on the lookout to see who they were and he soon perceived them in one of the rear rows of the seats. Before the entire audience Rev Father Saurusaitis pointed out the guilty persons and ordered the uSherS to eject them. and they did it. Rev Father Sau- rusatis should be warmly com mended for his stand on this ques- tion and it ought to be an example to those who have the habit of acting disrespectfully in church.
 The Brooklyn Brief man has heard of many ingenious plans, devices. etc. of young people, but the latest of which he has become cOgniZant, is worth repeating. On the occasion of hn ct jn1, ctr about two weeks ago, by which q DOT ton of the wall around the Riverside cemetery was washed away, a youth in this city, formerly. a newsboy, but now an cmploye of one of the local manufacturing concerns. coutrived the idea of placing letter in an empty bottle, corking it tightly and :hrowinc it into the Naugatilck river. He had read stories in several papers concern ing people who had done similar affairs; who had written their name and address on the slip of paper and also asked the finder of the bottle to correspond with him or her. He had even read where one young couple had been married as a result of the cor respondence which succeeded the finding of the letter. Of course the youth, Tommie, we will call him, did not think of marriage for he is far too young. He was doing it just for GU riosity's sake. On the paper he write his name and address and requested the person finding the bottle to tell him of the fact. After placing it in the bottle and cOrking it tightly, he threw the bottle in the river and it commenced floating down the stream. He had almost forgotten the affair when one day last week he received letter at his home on Bank street. On opening the letter he saw it was from three girls in Naugatuck, pupils of the Naugatuck High school. For several reasons we will not mention names but their initials are J. A., NJ. M. and NJ. G. Only one of them wrote the letter but the other two names were also signed to it. The letter was brief. It stated that the afternoon of the storm they were walking around the bank of the Naugatucll viewing the effects of the storm when they spied this bottle and succeeded in capturing it. The young lady who wrote the letter, said she did no work but went to the High school. She told him that she was staying at her cousins house and that he might address her letter. That was all she could tell him then. The young man intends to send back an answer thanking the young lady for being so kind as to answer ms note. He no longer believes that every interesting story in newspaper IS fa1sa and fictitious.
