TO CATHOLIC PARISH.
Methodists Give Use of Their Chapel
 and Furnish Heat.

- New Haven, Oct. IA striking instance of the broad spirit which is actuating church men of to-day comes to light in an arrangement whereby the members of the new Catholic parish of St Rose will wor- ship temporarily in the chapel of St Andrews Methodist church on Town send avenue near Four Corners.
 St Roses parish was recently form ed by Bishop Tierney, having been set off from St Francis parish. For the past two Sundays the members have been worshipping in Polar Star hall at Grand avenue and East Pearl street. A committee from the new parish went out looking for a place to hold services in the vicinity of the Four Corners. An application was made to the board of trustees of St Andrews Methodist church for the use of their chapel on Townsend ave. nue. This is the building in which the Methodists held services before their new church was built. It is now used for Sunday school.
 The trustees of St Roses offered to pay rent for the use of the chapel but the board of trustees of St Andrews would not consider taking any money and at their last meeting voted unan- imously to give free use of the chapel to St Roses and furnish heat also.

STRUCK WITH A GLASS
Relatives of Michael Hayes Ask
 For AssallaniS Arrest.

Attorney James M. Lynch, repre- senting relatives of Michael Hayes, of 4S8 Baldwin street, lodged informa- tion with Prosecuting Attorney Meigs this afternoon for a warrant for the arrest of Michael J. Drury who runs . saloon on East Main street. Hayes claims to have been assaulted by Drury in the latter's saloon yesterday morning for no reason. He says he asked for glass of beer and because he objected to the quality of it Drury threw a schooner" glass at him and refused to give him back his nickel. One or two other glasses were, thrown at him and then he was put out of the saloon with his head and face bleeding from the wounds inflicted by the glasses. The outer table of the skull was cut and Drs Hayes and Dillon who treated him wonder how the inner table escaped. It is likely that civil suit will follow the crim- inal proceedings. Hayes is confined to the house.

FIRE LAST NIGHT
Woman About 10 Jump From
 Veranda When Rescued.

Last night fire broke out in the kitchen of I. Smith, lo4 Park ave- nue. cutting off access to the door way, and the family escaped from death by climbing through a window onto the veranda. An alarm was sent in and the companies responded promptly and extinguished the fire before 1t did much damage. Mrs Smith was sick and with her infant she was rescued by neighbors just as she was about to jump from the veranda. Patrolmen Cutting and Samuel Walsh were on the ground early and had the blaze under con- trol when the department arrived. The work of the police and firemen was highly commended, notwith- standing the imputation from one of the commissioners that both depart ments are demoralized under the present administration.

PAPA is PROSECUTED.
Daughter of Mr.. Rockefeller Praises
Her Father.

Chicago. July 6.-NIrs. Harold F Nc
COrmick. daughter Of John d. Rockefel-
! Ter, yesterday discussed her fathers visit
to Chicago.
My father is much prosecuted man. ~
said Mrs Mccormick. 1T seems the more
remarkable inasmuch as he is not an en-
envy to anybody in the world. He is one
of the most genial great hearted men
clouds with his God rather than with
worldly things. It is his greatest pleas
ure to promote happiness among those
with whom he comes in contact.
The newspaper men who follow the
Rockefeller family so much do not an
noy US; that would be a wrong impress
sion. My father thinks highly of the
men who make the newspapers, and num-
beTs many of them among his friends
He likes to talk to them He has played
golf with them. The distasteful feature
of the publicity is its dealing with per
sonal things-family matters.
Il appreciate the fact that the public
takes a great interest in my father. I
think possibly the public has a right to
know the things that it asks to know
about him. He enjoys conversation and
likes to have an audience"
will your father give out an inter
view on general topics, do you Think
asked the interviewer.
Mrs. Mccormick answer was direct
About the last thing. just before he
is ready to leave, il seems quite probable
to me that he will talk to the news paper
men If he is not too tired she said. But
just now his having accepted service will
render it necessary for him to cOncen-
trate his mind on business affairs. He is
tired and is facing questioning on the
witness stand. He will need rest"
Will Mr.. Rockefeller attend church if
he remains in Chicago over Sunday
1T is one of his most strictly observed
customs always to attend church. l have
little doubt that he will attend a Bap-
fist churchill he can find one" con-
clu0bd Mrs Mccormick smiling
There is also a possibility that Mr.
Rockefeller may want to go to the cOun-
try, probably to Lake Forest. His daugh-
ter and sOn-in-law will make every eff
possible.

MonopoIists Make Statement.

After the conclusion of the hearing the
following statement was given to the AS
ISOLATED Press by John d. Rockefeller as
president and John d. Archboid as vice
president of the Standard Oil company:
Since the enactment OF the interstate
commerce law in 1887 the Standard Oil
company has most carefully observed it's
provisions and in no case has wilifully
violated the law. 1t welcomed the pass
age of the law and the principle of equal
ity which was embodied in ii. The old
system of special rates and rebates was
obnoxious and was never a source of prof
it to the company. The net rate paid for
freight was always used as a basis for
the selling price in the market and the
consumer uniformly had the benefit of
it. Moreover, every shipper could OBJ
tain such special rates and ii was no I'M
usual experience for the Standard Oil
company to discover that its competitors
had lower rates than it was shipping I'M
der
The assertion often made by careless
and senseless writers and critics that re-
bates were the basis of Standard Oil pros
perity, is absolutely untrue Its prosper-
ity has come through its correct appre-
hension of the possible magnitude and
Importance of the petroleum business and
having more economical methods for do
ing business than its competitors and
through a better service to the public in
price and quality than others have given.
1t has made the petroleum industry great
has held ii for this country as against
foreign competitors. and. we assert has
been a blessing and not bane to the
country. Its downfall through any cause
would be a national disaster"

for general use, and particularly for
clever sleuth work in the Bots de

The scheme in the training is that Of

cordingly the dogs are made to answer
pi omptly the word of command. They
must follow or go ahead, start, stop.

at rest.
In their very natures they are "at-

command "Attaque!" they start for
their prey with positive relish. For
experimental purposes an Apache has
been engaged, and his name is Bou'
