FOR RELIGIOUS
 INSTRUCTION.
PLEA THAT CHILDREN SHOULD
 RECEIVE IT.
Representatives of Denominations of All Kinds Endorsed the Idea at a Meeting Last Night-One
 Afternoon a Week;

New York, May LA Catholic
 priest, a Jewish rabbi and represen-
 tatives of six Protestant denomina- tions united at a meeting last night
 to plead for more thorough relig-
 ious educa tion of children. The movement had its inception at the Iinter-church conference last fall. II is proposed that the public schools shall so arrange the schedule of studies that subjects or relative un- importance shall come on Wednes- day afternoons, and that such stu. dents as desire it, or whose parents desire it, shall be then free to go to the churches of their choice to re- |ceive there religious instruction with out loss of public school standing. Rev Dr Anson P. Atterbury, pas tor of the Park church, presided, and Father McMillan of the Paulists was the first speaker.
 It is our catholic position that re- ligion and morality are inseparably joined" said Father McMillan. ITO us it is visionary that there can be
 morality withotu religion The method suggested will help us to get rid of that absurd. pernicious idea that religion is for Sunday alone and has no place in the business day." COadjutor Bishop Greer said: T am a strong and staunch believer in the public schools. I want them pretty much as they are and for what they, stand. They do that which they
 aim to do, and do it fairly well This is good as far as it goes. but 1t does not go far enough. There must be
 moral and religious training. There is more tha na religious influence. In the last analysis moral training rests on religious training. If the se- ductive evils of our modern life are to be met as they should be met, something more Is necessary than the training that is given by secular education. The traiinng of the pub lie school needs to be supplemented by the training the church can give.' Rabbi H. P. Mendes said he spoke as an oriental He thought the three "R's" are neglected in secular edu- cation, not the three "R's" best
 known, but rather reverence. right eousness and responsibility.
 Rev Dr Frank Mason North, Meth odist, Rev Dr G. U. Werner. Luth- eran, Rev Dr H. A. Stimson, Congre-
 gationalist, and Dr Henry M. Sanders,
 Baptist, spoke in a corroborative vein. A resolution was passed enl- powering the committee originally apointed, and under whose auspices the meeting has been called to con tinue its work.

TRANSFERS ALL BUSY.
Plenty of Work for Man and Beast
 in Waterbury This Year.


 This is May day, in some parts of the world great day for changing from one place to another, but there does not appear to be very much of that kind of work going on in Wa terbury. People move at all seasons. but as a rule one does not get out of a desirable place simply because they like to move It costs something to transfer ones furniture from one house to another. especially in 9 town like this where the demand for teams Is far in excess of the supply. A man who wanted to get little 1oD done this week was told In a place where horses and wagons are kept by the score that his turn wouldn't come for several days. and probably that meant weeks. so you see before you make up your mind to move you should order the team about month in advance, else you may be disap- pointed. In some parts of the old world this is known as fitting day and people who make a practice of changing would think some great misfortune would overtake them if they failed to have their furniture on the van en route for new tene- ment.

"slo STICK" FOR STANDARD OIL
President Will Send Special Message
 to Congress on Monopoly.


 WASHINGTON. May 1.-The crowd in the United States senate, which up to this time has prevented an agree ment upon day for the taking of a vote on the rate bill. will hear from the president either today or tomorrow in a way that will challenge the attention of the country.
 The president, it is said. is ready to send to the house of representatives with special message the government report on the operations of the Stand ard Oil trust. This time James R. Garfield and his associates have made good
 The beef trust farce has not been re- peated. On excellent authority it can be said that the operations of the Standard Oil combination. including the controlling men in certain rail roads. will be clearly set forth with adequate proof. and even the coalized senators will be at the end of their re- sources.
 The report is pictured as being the most sensational of any ever made to congress in laying bare the workings of the Standard OH monopoly and it's allies.
 The president in sending to congress the Garfield report will in his special message dissect the Standard Oil. make clear its guilt without stint and call for ( thorough Inquiry and prosecu- tion.

PARIS ON THE VERGE
 OF A SERIOUS REVOLUTION
Fifty ousand Troops Twelve Thousand Police and Eighty Thousand Republican Guards Patrog the CyAnachs and Suspects Driven OutA Important Buildings Under Military Care Arrests made by the Hundred Dorde Persons Increasing by the Thousand

Paris, May May 1, the day for which the government made prodi- gious preparations. finds many quar- ters of the city presenting the ap- pearance of an armed camp. The forces concentrated under Prefect of Police Lepine are estimated at 50,000 troops, 12,000 police and 5000 re- publican guards, gendarmes and de- tectives Detachments of troops of all arms took up positions in the main centers at an early hour. The bulk of the military forces had been strictly confined to barracks since midnight and remained under orders to be ready to move at moments s notice. The troops at midnight be- gan to guard the public sources of water. gas and electric supply. The plan of the authorities was to avoid the use of the military unless
 n step was imperative to main-
 order. Accordingly the aspect

 . little different from usual. but
 ykard noon the military activity in- 1 leased.
 "A The Metropolitan railroad and the bmnibuses continued to operate, but cab traffic was crippled owing to the kabmen's fears. The extensive cen tral markets were deserted. the country folk refusing to risk bring \ ing in provisions. The suburbs, which are guarded by troops. were reported to be calm.
 Strong bodies of troops are posted at the main railroad depots in the city. The St Lazare station is sur rounded by squadron of cuiras- siers. several companies of infantry and republican guards.
 Prior to the opening of the Bourse . regiment of infantry took up a po- sltion on the terrace and detach- ments of cuirassiers occupied the neighboring streets. The Bourse opened at the usual lour, but busi- hess was restricted.
 The Bank of France was similarly kuarded by troops and pickets pa trolled the vicinity of all the leading banks and important commercial es- tablishments.
 The Place de la Republique Is the fchief center of the labor animation. The stores in it's neighborhood are aelosed and police patrols were busy keeping the crowds circulating Many Yof the strikers wore a cockade bear Ing an emblem with the words: Eight hours work with a weekly holiday"
 About 5000 infantry occupied the

JACQUES ESTATE INsOLyENT.
May Be Speediest and Easiest Way tt
 Settle Up the Affair.

Attorney E. F. Cole, who was Jean L. Jacques's best friend, and is ad- ministrator on his estate, filed a declaration with the probate court to-day that the estate is insolvenr This does not necessarily mean that the estate is unable to pay the claims against it. Sometimes 1t is an easy and speedy way to settle up an es- tate. But whether or not this is the situation here is matter of uncer- tainty at present. Attorney Russell, who represents the widow in the mat ter. does not expect to oppose the estate being declared insolvent. That will depend upon the nature of the claims. There will be a hearing on the matter Monday at 9 o'clock.
