 Catholicism has made rapid strides in Connecticut, especially during re- cent years. Eighty years ago there wasn't Roman Catholic church in the State, while to-day there are about 215 and when those being built are finished the number will be about 225. It is estimated that one-third of the people of the State are Roman Catholics and the number of that faith will probably reach 350,00O. Their first church in the State was built in this city seyenty-seven years ago, at the corner of Main and Tal- colt streets. It hardly compared with the churches of the present day as to size, no matter how big it. looked then, as it was sixty-etght feet by forty eight This church, which was dedicated June IT, 1880, was known as the Church of the Holy and Un- divided Trinity.
 Before the building of a church, services were held at different places in Hartford and it is recorded that Bishop Benedict Fenwick or Boston repaired to the statehouse which he rented for $2, and preached an elo- quent discourse on the forgetfulness of God as being tho cause of man transgressing the law Before 1908 Connecticut formed a part of the dio- cese of Baltimore, whose jurisdiction comprised all of the territory of the United States east of the Mississippi River. Tn 1908 the Pope established the sees of New York Philadelphia, Boston and Bardstown Tn the dio- cese of Boston was included all the territory which now forms the New England States, Connecticut remained under the Jurisdiction of this diocese until 1s4S, from which year the dio- cese of Hartford dates The latter see had Jurisdiction over the States of Rhode Island and Connecticut. The first bishops of Hartford lived in Providence, but in 1872 that city was erected into an episcopal see, and Bishop F. F. Mcfarland took up his residence in Hartford. Bishop Michael Tierney has been bishop of tfie dio- cese since 1894.

COL coDY's ExHIBIT1oN.
Buffalo Bill Still In the Saddle--No
 Street Parade.

On Friday Buffalo Bills Wild West, fresh from it's European tri- umps and its grand welcoming home at Madison Square garden during the last few weeks will camp in our city and give the same great exhibition as of old but with many added features of rare interest.
 There will be no parade this year. All the energies of the management, the performers and animals will be centered on the exhibition, thus guar anteeing the ginger and go on the part of the performers as in days of old, and speed on the part of the horses, which sometimes become Jagged and tired out by long street processions. The energies formerly wasted in street pageantry will this season be concentrated on the exhi- bitin itself.
 The value of the Wild West as an instructive as we'll as an entertain ing and amusing exhibition is daily growing. Past American history Is now having added to 1t one of it most pictueresque featufes-the last chapter in the retaining of the Far West.

HIGH SERVICE PIPES.
Street Residents Have a
 Hard Time Getting Them.

Residents of Washington street have grown weary waiting for the parties who have the contract to lay the high service pipes to get out of the way, but relief appears to be as far off now as ever. The ditch Is open for near ly week. but nothing has been done about laying the pipes except on a few short strips. There Is good deal of travel through that street and with the pipes on one side and the open ditch on the other it requires good deal of skill to get through there without running into somebody. The people claim that ihe contractor should not have been allowed to open over a few hundred feet of the street at a time. and in saying so they look at the matter in the same light as peo- pie in other parts of the town do. The opposition to opening long stretches of streets is very pronounced. but somehow the contractors continue to have their own way about such things regardless of how such works affects
 the public.

WHERE IS ROBARTS
We'll Known Man Missing From
 His Room Since Last Friday.

George Robarts, who until recently was a collector for the Hellmann Brewing company left his rooms Fri day night to attend meeting of the Elks and has not been seen or heard of since. Friends of his are becom- ing alarmed over his peculiar disap- pearance, still they do not expect that any violence has befallen him. He did not attend the meeting of the Elks and so far as is known he was not seen on the streets that evening.
 Recently he purchased the Turkish baths concern on Leavenworth street and had settled in for business. His health has not been very well of late, yet it was not so bad that he could not attend to his venture.
 It would not surprise his friends to hear that he had been taken sick somewhere he was visiting. His ac- count in the bank has been undis- turbed.

A Practical Joke.

One day this week DIR. Rowan
went into McCaffery's barber
shop to get his bristles scaled off,
and as valuable stick pin was in
the way of Macs delicate opera
tions of butchery he deity re-
moved it and stuck it in a towel
near the mirror. After the sufgi-
cal operation on the Doctor was
over Mac. thought it would be a
good joke to let him 60 away
without the stick pin and have to
come back again and be laughed
at, so he winked his mild blue
eye at the other chair and said
nothingsas he pooketed the last
fee the Doctor had received from
someone's life. But the joker
got joked, for upon missing his
pin the Doctor smelled big mig
ger in the: woodpile, and accord
ingly went over to Judge Dusen-
berry and swore out a warrant for
the arrest of the torsorIal artist,
telling the. e.Judge on the quiet that
it was only a joke. Jack Knous
went to the shave parlor and ar
rested Mac. and. haledi him into
