Of it have grown the ritual. music, ar
chitecture of the church, and many pc

The eucharistic leagues are formed
in nearly every Roman Catholic
church in the world, banding together
the faithful of the parish in an organi-
cation whose object is to venerate
God in the eucharist The eucharistic
league among the laity is the stepping
stone to the eucharist congress of the |

PASTOR BELIEVES IN
 LICENSE.
Maine Experience Prompted Him to F Fight Against Prohibition.

Pittsfield. Nov. 1g.-The Rev. Earl c. Davis. the working pasteor of Unity Church of Pittsfield. created a Isensation in the .No-License league and Berkshire Ministers Club this week by announcing that he is in favor of high license.
 "I believe in the licensed city from Q moral standpoint" said he to a Herald reporter. ''I don't care a rap about the financial benefit that would accrue to a city the size of Pittsfield from the liquor element. but 1 do believe that dry city would be greatly to Pitts- fields disadvantage.
 T was born and brought up in Maine. lived in Auburn and Lewis ton. What I saw in Maine prompts me to my action now. and that is the reason I have taken this stand. Prom what l observed in Maine I believe that no license in Pittsfield would mean the establishment of in- numerable kitchen dives that would be followed or run in connection with houses of ilirepute. and morally the effect would be infinitely worse than with the open saloon under supervision of authorities.
 Auburn and Lewiston in Maine are about the size of Pitsfield In Auburn alone there are 150 kitchen barrooms and as many more in Lewiston under a so-called prohibition regime.
 Some of the Pittsfield ministers asked me to join the Anti-Saloon league but it's views and mine do coin eide and refused to become a mem Der I may have something further to say about this later"
 As Pittsfield went license by only 40 votes last year an aggressive cam paign has already been started by the no-license league under the supervis- ion of the other Pittsfield ministers.
 Of all ministers in Berkshire county. the Rev Earl C. Davis is the most picturesque. Last January he created a stir in his church by setting forth this opinion in regard to church sup pers:
 Church suppers for revenue as they have been conducted at some churches are a light form of graft. The sale of tickets for such suppers to those who really don't want them is a sort of blackmail."
 At special parish meeting called at the suggestion of Mir. Davis at that time IL was voted to abandon church suppers and the rquest of the Rev Mir. Davis that he be allowed to work in the plant of the Stanley Electric Com pany was granted. He then asked that $500 be taken from his salary at Unity Church. making that now $500.
 Mir. Davis arranged with the Stanley company that he should have time off for weddings and funerals. He has taken one evening week for parish calls and has thought out his sermons largely while at his daily work He has an hour for diner and quits at 3 D. m.
 While the Rev. Mir. Davis would not state definitely. 1t is believed that he will preach one or more sermons at Unity Church soon on the license ques- tion.
 A native of Poland, Me, the Rev Mir. Davis graduated from Bowdoin College in the class of 1897, and for years thereafter was principal of the high school atBillercia. Mass. He was school in 1904 and was one of the com mencement orators. He came to Pitts field in March. 1905. Before entering college Mir. Davis worked in a shoe factory in Maine. He has a wife and one child

IMPORTS COLON GOODS
 STEADILY INCREASING
Despite the Fact That United States Produces Three-fourths of Worlds Cotton.

Cotton manufactures imported into to United States in the year which ends next month will exceed 15 million dol- 1 lars in value and materially exceed the
 value of such manufactures imported in any earlier year. In the nine months 1 ending with September, 1907. the total value of cotton manufactures imported
 was. as shown by the figures Of the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor in round terms 59 million dollars. against 6l millions in the same months of 1906. 39 millions in the corresponding months of 1905, and 35 millions in the corresponding months of 1904; and should the importations of this class of merchandise during the remaining months of the calendar year average as high as in the g months for which a record is already made the total would approximate 80 million dollars, and it seems almost certain to exceed 15 millions.
 Despite the fact that the United States produces three -fourths of the
 worlds cotton. has a larger number of sp.ndles than any other country ex- cept the United Kingdom. has invested capital of over 600 millin dollars in it's cotton manufacturing establishments | and turns out products valued at 800 million dollars per annum 0ncluding cotton knit goods in this figure), the value of cotton manufactures imported is steadily increasing and was in the fiscal year 1907 twice as great as in 1s97. over 1-2 times as great as in 1887. and nearly four times as great | a in Is-- u-hiI. i'm a aa1arAar l9O7 the value promises to exceed by several millions the former high-rec- ord total and to approximate SO million dollars.
 This large importation of cotton manufactures in the present year places the United States in the third rank among the worlds importers of cotton manufacturers. being exceeded only by India with an importation of 13S million dollars. including all classes of cotton manufactures. and China, 125 millions in 1906. of which total nearly one-half is cotton yard.
 On the export side the Cnited States hold a much lower rank than as an importer Of cotton goods. the value of cotton manufactures exported in 1906. its high-record year. being about 5 million dollars. against 7S millions ex- ported from France, 1lS millions from Germany. and 800 millions from the United Kingdom in the latest. available year In the nine months ending with September 1907, the value of cotton manufactures exported from the Unit
 ed States was little more than one third the value of cotton manufactures imported. tbe total value of all cotton manufactures exported having been s20. .5g0 267. and that Of all cotton man. ufactures imported. S5s. .796,sO1.
 This large and rapidly growing i'm portation of cotton manufactures oc- CUTS chiefly in the high grade cotton goods. and especially those in which hand labor forms an important part in

Mysterious Jewel Case,

A romantic story concerning relics of the True Cross" was told in the London courts during an action brought by Mrs. Angelica Fachris, a Greek. against Robert Rustafjaell a wealthy London merchant for the re- turn of the casket or s3,s75.
 According to Mrs. Fachris' story. the casket was brought tc her and her husband when they were in Constan- tinople. by a Turk who wished to dis pose of it. Rustafjaell heard that it was for sale and came to see it. He was allowed to take it away on signing an undertaking to return it within two months or pay s3.S75. He took it to England and instead of returning it or paying the money. he wrote to MT. Fachris asking for an extension of time.
 Rustafjaell again visited Constanti- nople, but failed to restore the casket or pay the money. Fachris followed him all over Turkey and Egypt without recovering possession of the precious casket. The owner of the casket sold Fashirs' goods and his wifes jewels because they had not returned the cas- ket to him, reducing them to straiten- ed means, so the followed Rustafjaell to England and took this action against him. Because Mrs. Fachris' jewels had been sold, the action was taken in her name.
 In defense Rustafjaell said he was quite prepared to return the casket if he was paid s125 due him.
 The surprising part of the case was when the casket was produced in court. and Fachris denied that it was the or iginal one. which he said was beauti- fully chased, bore Creek inscription. and was worth $10,000.
