 ''Gentlemen:
 ''The members of the Catholic Total Abstinence union of Connecticut em- phatically protest against the gross calumnies concerning the Catholic church, published in ADpleton's Uni yersal Cyclopaedia and Atlas.
 Tt is our purpose to denounce these clumsy calumnies till the work is purged of it's gross misstatements and to proclaim the ignorance of it's au- thors till matters of Catholic doctrine and practice are revised by competent Catholic authority.v
 It is understood that the societies in the state will vote to approve of the criticism of the publishers. The Jesuit Fathers of. New York have published a pamphlet entitled "Poisoning tho Wells'' in the same line as indicated above.
 Father Harrigan and J. Washington Logue of Philadelphia are to lay the matter before the societies of Penn sylvania.

If President Roosevelt doesn't get a big price for allowing his picture to run beside a bottle in one of the sum- mer drink ads in whole lot of news papers he should make a big kick and order the men behind the guns to take it down. It does not look just right to see the picture of the president of the United States set up beside bot

nEcEIyEn- HIS TEACHER.

The boy who used to boast or getting the best of his teacher has been heard from. The same traits of character which tempted him to deceive his teacher into believing that he had solved his problems and completed his tasks himself, led him to cheat his em- pIoyer. to idle whenever his back was turned. and to clip his days work, ull- ii he finally lost his position.
 His lack of edueatiOn-the result of cheating his teacher-has proved a per- petual handicap. and has lost him many a good situation. His dishon- esty. which started in the school room has grown until nobody will trust him, and he has no credit or standing in the community.
 As boy he thought himself very clever in being able to dodge his les sons and impose upon his teacher; but he realizes now that the person cheated was himself. Tn those pre- cious days of youth he robbed himself of pearls of great value which he new CT will he able to. recover.
 The thief of time and opportunity often thinks he is enriching himself, but he awakes one day to find that lie is poorer and meaner for the theft.- Success.

It is certainly high time to take the housing question seriously ill hand when an English town of comparative ly small population crowds a heavy percentage of its inhahtantS into one roomed dwellings. This is the present case at Durham; the place now con- tains 439 human residences affording that limited amount of accommoda- tion. What the number of occupiers may. be can only be guessed from the fact that in one instance the single apartment furnishes quarters for elev- en persons. That, however, is excep- tional, the general average for each hut is estimated as between seven and eight inmates. Bearing in mind how polluted the atmosphere must be at night, it is no matter for wonder that the infant mortality in these dens is exceptionally high; the newly-born are said to die off like flies. The adults must also suffer more or less ill health from taking such vitiated air into their lungs, while the injury to moral ity through so many people of both sexes spigging together had better be left to the imagination. The terrible over-crowding is said to be produced by the lack of miners houses at many of the adjacent collieries; there being none available. the pitmen are com pelled to live at Durham and the cam araderie which exists among them in- sures a welcome for every additional lodger. I that be the case, the ques- ton arises as to whether every col fiery should not be equipped with hollsino accommodation prOportiOnate to the number of miners employed- The majority of pit owners comply, We believe, with that obligation in pafl
 or in whole. but when strike occurs they are often hard put to it to turn out the strikers to make room for more

Those who have heard Father Slocum know what light he can throw. and throw elo- quently, on a subject with which he is familiar. Now. there is no country out side of his own to whose history he has given more thought than to the history of Ireland The facts of Irish history. the political problems which the Irish representatives in par liament are now trying to solve, these and the thousand other details of the subject will be lucidly explained on Sunday night

Here's pointer for the Waterbury Central Labor union and the Business Mems association: Recently the Trades Union assembly of Williams Tsrt. Pa. appealed to the Board of Trade of that city. asking that the board recommend the merchants to rush the sale of home made cigars. The result is a new factory started. another about 10, and increased forces in those already there. Waterbury manufacturers turn out as good cigars sor the money as can he found. but It is notorious fact that the great bulk of cigars used here are made outside Union cigarmakers are q we'll paid class of men. and the more there is fo und employment for here the more money there will be for the local mer- chants.

The New Haven carpenters are now ( Il the fourth week of their strike and both sides are apparently as firm as ever. A report was circulated on AIon- day that the union had been unable to Iag it's benefits on the preceding Sat urday It was speedily shown, how ever, that every benefit had been paid and that there was plenty of money on hand to pay more.
 The tcamsters will meet in He'll mann's hall tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 for the purpose of completing ar engagements for the formation of a union. It is stated on good authority that all those employed i'll one line, at least, can easily secure the Saturday half holiday as soon as this is done. With one exception the employers favor it. and this exception, when requested by an organized body, will readily ac- cede to the request without q doubt. Every teamster should attend the meet ing.
