The local machinists are greatly pleased over the result of the agitation for a shorter work day, and well they may be, so many of their number re- ceiving the hours asked for. Particu- larly gratifying was the action of Blake x Johnson in their North Elm street shop, whereby all there employed will receive their full amount of pay for nine hours work This includes tool makers, pattern makers. appren tices, etc, as well as the machinists. Employes of the dinerent departments of all the factories took much inter- est in the action of the machinists and are generally of the opinion that this is but the entering wedge and that it will prove but matter of time when the shorter work day will be here for all.

Waterbury Democrat., 1902-06-21

The call for union-made goods of ev- cry description is on the increase in Waterbury and many are the inquiries made as to where they can be found in different lines. If the merchants who carry goods bearing the label would make the fact known through their advertisements it would no doubt prove greatly to their advantage. Some of the Waterbury unions are con- sidering the advisability of imposing a fine on members for purchasing non union goods when others could have been obtained. A common statement is, These goods are union-made, but the label was not put on,'' but the un- ionists are becoming wiser and begin to demand proof
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-06-21

Union labor is coming more and more to the front. Last week the Tennessee democratic state convention adopted a plank to the effect that they favored law requiring the union label on all state printing, and without a doubt the law will be passed the coming winter, as the members of the legislature and the governor will be obliged to endorse the platform in or der to be elected. And in Danbury, in advertising for bids for a new school building it is specified that none but union labor shall be employed.
 The Waterbury Beobachter, the Ger man weekly will pass into the hands of Max Taschenburger,i founder,o on July Land will once more bear the union la- bel. Richard Linde purchased the pa per some months ago, and not employ ing a journeyman printer regularly, and never having served an apprenuce- ship himself, it became necessary to withdraw the use of the label. Many subscribers refused to take the paper unless the office was run on union prin- ciples, and consequently Mir Linde deemed it advisable to retire from the newspaper field. Mir Taschenburgef contemplates issuing Bridgeport edi- tion also.

STRICKEN DUMB.
Signal Punishment Visited on Man
While Blaspheming.

There is no sin without its punish
ment, but it is not often that the pun
ishment follows so directly as to be a
fearful example. A striking instance
of this is recorded, curiously enough,
in an item of police news in Balti-
more paper.
1t is related that John Kelly, ac-
cording to a statement made by his
wife and supplemented by a statement
written by himself and presented to
Justice White of the northern district,
was stricken dumb on the evening of
March 10, while cursing.
Kelly was arrested on the complaint
OF his WIFE While she told her story
to the policeman he listened. expecting
to hear some noise from Kelly, who
was inside the house.
Your husband appears to be very
quiet" said the patrolman.
He is quiet just now, because he was
struck dumb while he was committing
his awful blasphemy," said Mrs. Kelly.
Kelly then came from the house and
was taken into custody. When taken
before the desk Kelly made signs for
paper and. pencil. On the paper he
wrote his name and age. The next
morning he was still dumb, and when
brought before Justice White made all
his statements in writing.
Mrs. Kelly told Lieutenant Dempsey
that in the midst of his cursing and
blasphemy her husband suddenly
choked and trem bled all over as though
he had a chill Then he tried to speak,
but could only choke and groan.

Denied Religious Liberty.

The United States training ship
Monongahela carries some 240 boys,
many of whom are Catholics The
chaplain on board is a Baptist minis
ter The boys are all compelled to at
tend the Protestant worship that he
conducts, to listen to his sermons, and
to receive religious instructions from
him. AS this goes on in their case for
six years before they are taken off that
vessel. the result may be easily guessed
their faith is gone, and they are Prot
estants or nothing.
When that vessel, under its present
commander. touches at ports and stays
for weeks at d time. the Catholic boys
are not sent to mass on Sundays nor
is a Catholic priest invited on board
to attend to their religious needs.
Yet the regulations of the United
States navy order {see article $50. para
graph p, that "the religious tendencies
of officers and men shall be recognized
and encouraged and the chaplain lin
article 762, paragraph 81, is told that
as one of his duties "he shall facili-
tate. so far as possible, the perform
ance of divine service by eiergymen of
churches other than his own who may
be permitted by the captain to visit the
ship for that purpose.

HOW TO Make silhouettes.

With a little cleverness and skill you
can easily make what is termed a sill
houette picture-the outline of a per-
sons face in black painted on white
paper. Procure some sheets of paper
having a black surface on one side and
white on the other Pin sheet of this
paper to the wall with the white sur
face outward, and then get the party
desiring the profile to stand between
the lamplight and the paper with the
injunction to keep perfectly still. Draw
the outline of che resulting black
shadow with a soft pencil or crayon,
after which carefully cut out the pic
ture by closely following the lines.
Having done this. reserve the picture
and paste it on a piece of white card
board A most excellent likeness may
thus be obtained, added to which is
the amusement and instruction gained.
The term silhouette" is derived from
the name of the French minister Of
finance in 1759-Etienne de Silhouette.

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews:
Aunt Busy is receiving some very
Interesting replies to her $1,000 ques-
ton. She has heard at last from Eu-
reka and from her dear children, the
little Manteys, from Carr Station.
One thing in all the letters received
that has impressed Aunt Busy is the
spirit OF generosity that seems to be
in your hearts. You nearly all express
wish 10 help the poor, and this wish
is most praiseworthy, even if you are
only figuring on 81, 900 that you do not
own Aunt Busy would like to hear
from Park City soon, and then the
ogden boys have not written yet. How
about the Montana ladsi They surely
stand a chance of having $1,000 some
day They live in such a wealthy
state.
If Aunt Busy does not hear from you
all soon she is going to start another
subject, which will be, What should be
done to the nieces and nephews who
neglect TO write to Aunt Busy?" Then
you careless ones. you will wish you
had remembered your loving
AUNT BUSY.

SERMONS IN HIS SLEEP.
Are Better Than the Average From

Cincinnati Enquirer
Columbus, S. C.-Reputable citizens
of Saluda county, including several
physicians, who have visited the home
of Major Perry, mulatto about AZ
years of age, unite in indorsing the
following remarkable story of the
sleeping preacher The man lives
some distance in the country, far from
! a railroad and telegraph line, and,
while his powers have been well known
! in the community, they have but re-

The story is that Perry. when a

about fifteen or twenty minutes after
| retiring (about o'clock is his rule).
! he begins to preach.
| He first announces his text, chapter
and verse or verses in the Bible cor
rectly, after which he reads the text,
always just as it is in the Word. He
then lines OUT and sings hymn and
| prays, after which the sermon proper
| begins. This sermon is better than
; the average, above the reach of the
average negro preacher al least. 1t is
grammatical and logical, and lasts
from forty-five to sixty minutes. Some
times during the delivery of the SER
mon the muscles of the body, especial
ly the arms and neck, contract, pro-
ducing a cataleptic condition. This
stops the sermon.
The attacks last for minute or so,
and are driven away by his wife, who

fected. When the tendency to catalep-
sy is vanished he resumes his discourse,
beginning exactly where he left of.
even though it was in the middle Of a
sentence. During the summer about
a certain time each year. he holds his
prOtracted services, sometimes getting
pretty loud" a characteristic of his
race.
At these special times he delivers
two sermons and invites ''mourners"
to come to the altar; sometimes he will
cease and go through the motions of
drinking water. He takes a short re-
cess between the delivery of his ser
mons. Perry when awake is irreliGious.
He cannot be convinced that he
breaches in his sleep.
The best class of white citizens for
miles around visit Perry's cabin to hear
him. Leading physicians of the coua-
ty have vainly endeavored to awaken
him while in this abnormal state. Aft
er finishing the sermon he is easily
aroused. They have pierced his mus
Giles with sharp instruments, made loud
noises, even placed cotton between his
naked toes and burned it causing him
great pain after returning to con-
sciousness). but without avail. During
the time of preachingit is an imposst-
bility to stop him. Occasionally, while
driving along the public road, Perry
enters this involuntary trance and de-
livers a sermon, or if he happens TO go
inside church he is liable to fall
asleep and to begin sermon himself,
in which case the preacher in the pull
pit desists. Major Perry is certainly
a psychological marvel.

Thev Discover heir True ColOrs.

Catholic priests and prelates are
having a hot time with the Social DEM
ocrats up in Buffalo. The promoters
Of the cult were called to order by
Bishop Quigley They did not submit
gracefully to the crushing blow dealt
them by the vigilant prelate. Their
leaders issued a challenge for public
debate, and Bishop Quigley allowed
two OF his priests TO respond. A mass
meeting was held. and the priests were
triumphant During the course of the
debate. one of the Socialist speakers
made an astonishing confession. He adj
mitted that he was an atheist and sub
scribed in full to the sentiments of a
New York paper which said that
Christianity and social Democracy
were incompatible. and that true
blue Social Democrat must of neces-
sity be an atheist He denied the very
existence of Christ and enumerated in
extenso all the charges which atheists
of every age have made against Chris
tianity and the Catholic church Cath
olics who care for their religion will
know how to deal with Social DEM
ocracy. II is needless to say that
Bishop Quigley's men won out, on
every count.

A Curious Advertisement.

One of the curious advertisements
sometimes found is this from an ex-
change: Wanted, Catholic merchant
to start a general store in Grant coun-
ty. Oklahoma, a young city only seven
years old. We have a Catholic church,
parsonage and pastor, two public
schools, nine general stores, three drug
stores, four hardware stores, four no.

400 barrels daily, seven saloons, one

lie druggist. All storekeepers are do
ing large business, and we want a
Catholic to start a general store" 1t
must be admitted that such demands
are seldom seen

Mind Reading; An Indoor Game.

A game that is mystifying, and at the
same time interesting to play, is mind
reading. Any number of people can
join in the fun, but the more there are
the better. A ring is formed, all join
ing hands and there must be two sit
ting next to each other who know the
secret of the game. Let US call these
two Alice and May. Alice, who is in
troduced as professional mind
reader leaves the room, and those re-
naming choose any word a short one.
preferably The object of the game is
for Alice, who is ignorant of the word,
to guess it, and this may be done by
simple little trick so that it attracts no
attention whatever. All are told to
close their eyes and think hard of the
word chosen. Then Alice is called back
and sits down in the circle, taking hold
of her accomplice's hand, as well as
that of her neighbours on the other side.
Then very quietly May taps Alice's
palm with her fingers, the taps signify
ing the letters, the first tap meaning
"a, the second 81" and so on, for in
stance, supposing the word was cat.
May would tap Alice's hand three
times, c being the third letter in the
alphabet. and then pause for an in
slant, so that Alice might understand
that it was the first letter. Then one
tap and a pause would mean "a" and
since go is the twentieth letter in
the alphabet, Alice would easily under
stand twenty taps for It." Thus any
word may be spelled out, and it is al
ways long time before the uninitiated
catch on.

Conference From St. Ignatius Loyola

Man was created to praise, reverence
and serve God our Lord, and by this
means to save his soul.
All the other things on the face of
the earth were created for mans sake,
and in order to aid him in the prose-
cution of the end for which he was
created.
Whence it follows that man must
make use of them, in so far as they
help him to attain his end.
And in the same way he ought to
withdraw himself from them in so far
as they hinder him from it,
1t is, therefore, necessary that we
should make ourselves Indifferent to
all created things, in so far as it is
