CHURCH OF ST FRANCIS XAVIER RE
 Sunday was a red letter day in the history of the Church of St Francis Xavier, when their remOdeled church edifice was opened again for service. The marked changes wrought in the auditorium were gratifying to all the credit on the capable and popular pas tor, Rev T. Cronan. The day was made notable by the presence of the beloved bishop of the diocese, Rt Rev Michael ]. Tierney. Rev Father ShOr- telle of Ridgefield celebrated high mass. Rev Father McElroy of Bridge port preached the sermon. Bishop Tierney confirmed class of 96, five being from Bridgewater, 10 from Rox- bury and four from Washington. The bishop addressed the class, speaking strongly on the question of temper ance. The changes wrought in the church interior are certainly marked. put in by The M. Fl.

The middle window over the altar was the gift of the local lodge, Knights of was done under the direction of John Hannon, who was assisted by Henry D. Hine. The colors are beautifully blended, and the result is church in- terior rich and attractive. The ceiling is paneled, light cream in color and lined in with several different cOlOred tones. The alcove joining the ceiling is divided into five different panels, with deeper shade of cream. The frieZe is of Italian renaissance design, two-toned shade, ivory white and old blue.

Deaths by Lightning.
From the Boston TRANSCRIPT

Timid people who are afraid of being
killed by lightning should take refuge in
statistics rather than in feather beds. The
one victim of the storm which swept over
Boston yesterday was leaning against an
iron bar Yet even in this dangerous en-
vironment his chances of being killed were
SO remote that the experience might he
safely repeated by somebody else thousands
of times. The number of people who are
actually killed by lightning Is hard to as
certain. because it is SO small that In most
cases such deaths go into the table as 10Th
er causes" or are concealed in some other
fashion. The Boston board of health. for
example. uses the Bertillon registry sys-
tenn, and here deaths caused by lightning
would be hidden under Electrical disturb
ances," which includes also executions by
electricity. third-rail casualties, fatal falls
from electric light poles and live wires IA
tai shocks from dynamo, etc. The registry
department, which Classics deaths more
of a person killed by lightning in Boston
since 1901. In the whole state there appear
to have been but three persons killed by
electric shocks from the clouds in the last
three years.
These figures ought to be reassurine to
those who always shudder whenever thew
see flash of lightning in the thought that
1t is bearing death in its wake There is
something so intangible about the bolt from
the clouds that the reasoning faculties of
certain people seem to be suspended during
thunderstorms. They shrink from the
mysterious power, even though it may be
shown that more people die from the bite
of the common house cat than from light
ming. Such has been the case in the past.
Another reason for the common fear of
lightning. is our unfamiliarity with it. If
thunderstorms happened every day of the
year, we should probably lose our fears.
tuberculosis kills more men than war, and
we do not spend the millions for fighting it
that we do in preparing coast defense and
erecting great navieS. People do not like to
go to war because they may get killed but
they run risks just as great in insanitary
conditions at home to which they give no
thought. The deadly microbe is always
with us, the lightning seldom. Moreoyr
its sudden action gives dramatic terror to
the occasional blow which it delivers, MAX
ing 1t vastly more impressive than are the

Referred to Counsel.
Wild Deer in New England.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
The complaint that comes from some Of
the towns Of northern Worcester county,
that the wild deer are running the grow
ing crops and making free with vegetable
gardens, has strange sound in this state.
Deer are showing themselves occasionally
in eastern Massachusetts, having been
seen In Ipswich and thereabouts recently,
but around Leominster and Clinton they
roam in herds to the annoyance of the
farmers, who cannot shoot one of the beau
tiful invaders without rendering themselves
liable to heavy fines. So bold, or rather so
tame, have the deer grown under the pro-
lection of the game laws that on one morn
ing this week q beautiful doe graZed on
Worcester common, cropping the dewey
heritage in the early morning to the won
derment of all behoders. Worcester is the
largest place wherein deer have shown
themselves, but with the present reguIa
lions for their preservation they would be
safe in Boston itself. The appearance Of
these gentle .citizens Of the woods near
the haunts of men Is not a sign that the
state Is running to Wilderness but Is evil
dence Of the success Massachusetts has at
tained in protecting game. Our forefath-
ers had a keen taste for venison, which Is
indeed a dGlectabIe meat, and their appe-
tites were In no way restrained by consid-
Grafton of the rights of posterity. They,
like Sir Boyle Roche, did not see why as
posterity had done nothing for them they
should be expected to do anything for pos
terity. Deer were literally slaughtered, and
100 years ago they were spoken of as rare
outside the Sandwich wilderness whose
labyrinth sheltered a few herds" Deer
seemed on their way to extinction when the
more provident and more humane legsla-
ton came into operation to counterfeit be-
fore too late the profuson Of our sres. The
last quarter of a century has witnessed the
recasting Of our game laws, the community
realizing that the preservation Of deer and
other game was an economic question, and
with those who loved yenson co-operated
those who loved sport.

TOLEDO SHIPPERS COMPLAIN.
Investigation Of Certain Railways to
Be Made

An investigation of certain railroads will
be begun in Toledo, Ohio, tomorrow, by
the interstate commerce commission re-
speeding the interstate transportation of
ice to and from Toledo. The inquiry will
be conducted by Judge Judson C. Clements,
a member of the commission.
The investigation was authorized by
President Roosevelt. to whom complaints
had been made by shippers. 1t is part of
the trouble over the handling of ice which
the people of Toledo have experienced
throughout the summer.
The probability is that the hearing will
continue for three or four days, as already
between forty and fifty witnesses have
been subpoenaed, and fourteen or fifteen
railroad lines are involved.
The order for the hearing was issued to-
day by the commission, and Commissioner
Clements left at noon for Toledo. The rail-
roads mentioned in the complaint are the
Ann Arbor Railroad Company; the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton; the Cleve-
land. Cincinnati. Chicago and ST. Louis; the
Detroit and Toledo Short Line; the Hook
ing Valley, the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern; the Michigan Central; the Ohio
Central lines: the Pennsylvania; the Pere
Marquette; the Toledo Railway and Termi-
nal Company; the Toledo, ST. Louis and
Western; the Wabash, and the Wheeling
and Lake Erie

Relics of the Past.
From the New York Mail.

The old Indian dug-out canoe which was
brought to light in Cherry street by a party
of electric light excavators belongs to our
ancient history as much as the remarka BILE
ship found In Lake Bolsena belongs to that
of Rome, or as the Viking vessel unearthed
In Norway belongs to Scandinavian an
tiquity. Long dug-outs of Indian model
were not much affected by the white inhab.
itants here after the passing of the red
man. However, this old canoe is a less
precious relic than 1t would be If similar
craft were not still manufactured and nayi-
gated by Indians on our northwest coast
Indeed, the Atlantic coast Indians never
made such magnificent boats as the perfect
specimen which now hangs in the Museum
Of Natural History in this city.
The Indians Of this region made graceful
and well-balanced canoes which served
their purposes admirably, but their pur-
poses were much restricted when compared
with those of the fishing and saltwater
faring tribes of the Pacific northwest A
boat of theirs. very likely applied to white
mems uses, and replaced by more modern
craft, might very easily have been covered
up In the accommodating earth In the neigh
borhood of the Swamp Meadow"
But the old boat is well worth saving. It
suggests that the antiquities which may be
unearthed by the extensive excavations now
going on should be systematically looked
after by those who are interested In the
subject.

CHINESE ON CANAL WORK.
Their Interests Will Be Protected by
the Government,

Care will be taken by the United States
government to prevent contractors from
doing injustice to the Chinese laborers en-
ployed for work on the Panama canal. The
specifications advertising for proposals to
supply $500 Chinese to the canal commits
sion will stipulate that the Secretary of
War shall have the privilege of passing on
contracts which labor agents make with
Chinese who are to be sent to the isthmus
This provision will make it possible for
Secretary Taft to prevent discrimination
against the coolies by INSCRIPTIONS con-
tractors. Under this arrangement the
United States will know exactly what the
Chinese are paid by the labor agents and
the Chinese government will be able TO af-
ford its subjects protection on the isthmus
because of the ease with which this govern
ment will be able to regulate the relations
between the Chinese laborers and the con-
tractors.
Many contractors are seeking to supply
the first $500 Cinnamon for the canal work
Until the specifications for the contracts
are published contractors will not be able to
give any idea as to the wages they must
have for Chinese, laborers on the canal zone.
Some labor agents believe that with the
many restrictions the canal commission
purposes placing upon contractors 1t will not
be possible to supply the Cinnamon at less
than 81 day. Other agents are of the
opinion that the coolies can be supplied for
80 or 60 cents a day, with fair margin of
profit to the contractors.
In Jamaica West Indians are employed
under longtime contracts al prices ranging
from % cents day and rations, which cost
only a few cents, to 30 cents a day. The re-
strictions and safeguards thrown about
these laborers however, are very slight as
compared with the restrictions the United
States will place upon the Chinese to be
employed for canal work.
