THE RELIGION
OF HUMANITY

In England, as in this country
there has been much work and dis
cussion over the decrease I'm church
worship, and the conclusion has been
reached that humanity is becoming
less religious
In this connection. a statement of
Basil Wherefore, Archdeacon OF
Westminster. based on keen observa-
ton and a thorough belief in the in
creasing goodness of the world is well
worth reading. He says:
There may be acertain mental
revolt against narraw conventional
and rudimentary conceptions OF re-
lligion- which word in it's highest
meaning signifies the ligament that
may possibly account for less church.
going. but contend that marked
characteristic of the age is a genu.
inc hunger for a high. noble and ra-
uonal conception OF the Infinite Orig
inator called God who is solely re-
sponsible for our present existence
under these finite conditions. and
where this hunger is satisfied the
churches are not empty
Moreover, side by side with this
spiritual hunger there is a strenuous
and eyer-increasing activity on the
part of the Weather classes TO anne
liorate the condition OF those less
well OF than themselves which has
never been equaled in any previous
generation
~ deny that true Christianity is
declining"
That is true optimism. Not a word
in eXtenuation of non-church-going.
but faith in humanity. whether wor-
ship is done in pew or in good
works.
There are some fine people In this
world who believe that every time n
man has a good thought, does a kind
and mercifu act helps somebody or
something, sacrifices himself for the
good Of another or OF the communi-
~. he is practicing the highest re-
lligion that can enter human life.
There is comfort i'm the cheerful
optimism of the Archdeacon Of West

PIRATE" PUT IN JAIL.
ENGAGED TO NINE WOMEN AT
ONCE. GETS LETTERS MIXED
AND COMES To GRIEF.

LONDON. SEPT. 1S.-Jasiah

name of Frederic Mcleod. robust
and good loking actor. has just be. n
sent TO jail for nine months for de-
frauding / .sretty girl out of a little
less than slO0. Mcleod is known rs
a pirate among female affections.
At one time he was engaged To as
many as nine women and had to
write nine copies OF each letter When
he met Gertrude Joliffe. a twenty
five-year-old girl, he struck srag.
Miss Jpliffe keeps tobacconists
store and had good income Ne
Leod bought his cigarettes thers and
soon got on friendly terms with the
proprietress. They were soon engay-
ed and then came the quick
touches" Mcleod also got all his
cigars and cigarettes free. Blu; one
day Miss Joliffe got a-aletter full of
the usual grand sentiments. but
which began Darling vi" As her
name is not Violet and as there were
one or two strange matters referred
TO in postscript Miss Joliffe became
suspicious. She had Mcleod watch
ed and found he was paying attention
20 several other women.
More intimate inquiries resulted
in the discovery that her Freddy was
engaged TO all these other women
and had been borrowing money
from them. Then came the grand
smash Miss Joliffe was courageous
enough to have Mcleod arrested
Many of his flowery epistles were
read in court and the Judge in SEN
fencing him denounced him as pi-
rate among female affections.

THE THIRD DEGREE; B !.
About Fifty Candidates Came Be
 fore K. of C. Meeting.

Yesterday was big day with the K. of C. of Waterbury. about 800 members of the order gathering at K. of C. hall to witness the exemplifica- ton of the third degree npon q class of about fifty candidates by the New Jersey degree team. under tlie man agement of MIessrs Hickey and Loughlin. The meeting was under the auspices of sheridan. Barcelona, Null cahy and Hendricken councils. and was the largest of the kind ever held i'll Waterbury, at least 200 out of town guests being present, about 60 of whom came from New Haven. The of ficers ill attendance included Supreme Secretary Daniel r. Colwell Of New, Haven: Master of the Fourth Degree E. W. Lynch, New Haven: State Dep uty James Tevlin. New London; State Treasurer NJ. r. Baker Winsted: Dis trict Deputy Fitzgerald. New Haven: District Deputy John NJ. Hearn. Nangatuck. Addresses were made by many of the visiting Knights and some of the local ones. too. so that while Waterbury. the nome of the founder of the order. doesn't seem to have many of it's members holding place in the front rank. the visitors learned before leaving that this, was not due to lack of the right kind of material.

SLEEPS IN OPEN AIR
Mrs. Katherine Kelly Gained 22
 Pounds Since July. ..

Brooklyn has one person at any rage who believes in the open air treatmclt and who speaks in the highest praise of what out door life can do for the benefit of those wlio are affected with the great white plague. Mrs Rather inc Kelly of Bank street, was almost a total wreck last July. when she. uil the advice of her physician, went to the Gaylord Farm Sanitarium associa- tion in Wallngford. She returned on Saturday almost entirely well and she speaks in glowing terms of what na- ture can do for those who are afflicted as she was.
 During her stay in Wallingford she gained twenty-two pounds and during tile entire period she slept out of. doors. Even now she is continuing .he system and passes the night on her front veranda. She is so delighted with the treatment that she received at the institution and the effect it had upon her that she asked the writer this morning if lie would not make q story of her recovery in order that her friends might know how she is getting along. The woman not only feels well but also looks the picture of health.

 New Charge Next Month.

Unless Rev Benjamin r. Root of j. Third church should get q change 7 heart, bs will leave on the 22nd of
 Februarygf0r his new parish in Colun- tpus, 0. Yesterday at the conclusion Of |. e regular services he read his resig. stion. and there were not many dry cn3es i'll the church after the pastor had stalished reading the letter. The effect (that the resignation had on the congre-

ALIEN CONTRACTORS
Bring in Labsrers Whs Beesse Bsfde. ts
 the City.

A matter that is giving lawyers some concern is the way unskilled la Dor is treated by alien construction companies operating, iIi this town. They find tine law unable to cope with them and the consequence is that hun dreds of iaborers who have come from other states find themselves stranded here and compelled to seek the relief given by the city.
 They point as an example of this state of affairs the mess created by the F. T. Ley company which had the construction work of part of the trol Icy line between Waterbury and Ches- hire. and later still the failure of the McGoyern Construction company to carry out it's contract wltll the cffv To complete the asylum sewer in south Biookfyn. This latter case threw scores of laborers on the streets for d week or more and but for the work be- ing done by the O'Brien Construction company of New York on the railroad improvements the city would be delug. ed with men out of the means to ge. home.
 It is the opinion of most lawyers that law should be enacted similar to one in operation in Massachusetts. This law provides that when an alien company begins operations inthe state of Massachusetts it shall furnish a bond to the municipality is is operit- ing in providing for the payment of the laborers in it's employ in case of failure or inability to carry out it's contract. By this means the men who are under the present circumstances in ihis state the first to suffer by such a failure would be protected and the dc. pertinent of charities would not bc called upon to extend helping hand. Attorney Bauby has such law in mind and will present 1t for enactment st the next session of the legislature.
