 The arrangements which are being made for the national convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America, which will be held In Hart ford for three days next week, conl- mencing on Wednesday, indicate that it will be a pronounced success and that it will give a strong impetus to the temperance movement among our Catholic citizens. It is expected that the Rev. Father Scully of Cambridge port, Mass, will be able to attend. Father Csully is one of the most ear- nest and most successful temperance workers in the United States. To his personal influence is mainly due the fact that the town in which he lives votes no license. He was the chap lain of a northern regiment in the civil war and the old soldiers have no stauncher friend than Father Scully He was an eye witness of their suffer- ings and privations and a. sharer ill them.
 Perhaps the convention will be fla vored by the presence of the Rev. w. G. Read Mullan, s. J., the well known president of Boston college. Father Mullan is priest of brilliant scholarly attainments and is convincing speak CT.
 The Rev. John T. Winters, the pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Con- ception on Park street, Hartford, has two flourishing juvenile temperance so- cieties in his parish. One is the cadet society of boys and the other is com posed of young girls. The cadets num- Der one hundred and there are about one hundred and twenty-five on the rolls of the girls society The cadet society has been admitted to member ship in the National Total Abstinence Union and it will be entitled to repre- sentation at the convention. On Tues day next Father Winters will give the boys and girls of these societies an out ing at Laurel Park. The children will be accompanied by their parents or old CT sisters, and will return home about six o'clock. The arrangements which have been made give assurance that the children will have happy time.
