THIS STATE FOURTH IN RANK OF
 NUMERICAL STRENGTH.
President Murphy Addresses the New Britain Convention and Reports Gain of 1,eOO in Two Years--What He Recommends.

Recommends.
 New Britain, Aug. 22.-The state con- vention of the Ancient Order of Hiber- nians and the ladies auxiliary opened in this city at o'clock this afternoon and will continue tonight and to-mGr- row. Colonel John P. Murphy of Nor wrich. president of the State A, o. H., made a report He said this is the most l important convention that the order has held in Connecticut. It is the tWen- | ty-fifth annual and thirteenth biennial gathering. The state has a member | ship of 1000 members, which makes its l fourth In rank of numerical strength in the United States, being exceeded by only New York, Pennsylvania and Mas f sachusetts. The gain in membership in l the past two years is 1000, and the | new divisions formed numbered six. There has been great activity and plans for the forming of new divisions are now under way.
 He recommended that instead of | founding a home for the aged members of the order an arrangement be en- | tered into with the management of the Catholic Old Peoples home at West Hartford, which is we'll equipped to shelter the aged and the infirm within as well as without the order. | He recommended that further agita- ton in favor of the adoption of a sup elementary course in Irish history tn the parochial schools. He urged the in- auguration of uniform system where by at the end of each school year prizes may be awarded at the graduation ex- ercises to those people who have aequit- ted themselves the most creditably in these subjects.
 Colonel Murphy called attention to the lack of representation accorded Irish Catholic citizens upon the boards in the management of the state institu- tions, the penal institutions and the hospitals county homes and state pro- tectories.
 Financially, he reported an excellent condition of things. The aim has been to keep the assessment small to meet all obligations, but not to build up a treasury with a vast surplus Upwards of $10000 had been expended in sick benefits in the past year. The balance in the treasury is equal to that which existed two years ago.

Started in 1905.
The first step toward the establish
ment Of this church was taken some time
in the latter part OF August, 1905, by few
interested residents of Petworth who, after
consultation, believed the opportunity open
for the organization Of Sunday school.
Upon the offer of member present to open
the doors of his house for the same, it was
decided then and there to organize a school,
which was done, by the election of George
c. Hough, superintendent, and from that
meeting call was issued for the first ses-
sion of the school, September 3, 1906 which
resulted in an enrolment of twenty-seven
members. The interest and the school grew
very rapidly. and continued until at pres
ent there being on the rolls ITO members,
80 per cent Of which are young people.
The school is equipped with corps Of
teachers and provided with all the neces-
sary church literature and paraphernalia
necessary for well organized school.
The church organization was effected by
H. R. Naylor. DID, the presiding elder.
October 16, 1905, with a membership OF
twenty. the present membership being
thirty full members and one probatoner.
There are at present In the hands of the
pastor twelve church transfer letters, which
will be read on the day of dedication.
A New Building
The first thought of building the church
came through G. w. F. Swartzell, a friend
of the society, who very generously donated
the present beautiful and valuable location.
The Methodist City Church Extension So
clely, dlueO very materially Dy the generous
cash contributions of the few members and
friends, made possible the beautiful build
ing.
The church is well organized in all de-
partments, as all the officers are members
who have had long experience in church
work. The devotion Of the members to the
new enterprise is unsurpassed The growth
of the Sunday school is phenomenal, in view
of the fact that all sessions have been held
in private house.
Rev. c. A. Co is regarded as talented
young man, fluent and eloquent speaker
and an able administrator. The wife of the
pastor is the president of the Ladies' Guild
of the church.
