A good deal Of scholarly research
has recently been given to St Patrick
by both British and German authori-
ties. and It is now admitted that the
chief documents concerning him are
genuine, and that he really lived and
carried on in ireland a work such az
has been attributed 70 him by tradi-
ton Lately a new biography giving
ST Patrick an unquestioned place in
history has been published by Prof
Bury Of Kings college, Cambridge.
Three men OF PatriCks own time
bore the same name and have survived
in records This has confused scholars
who paid no attention 10 the myths.
One was an earlier bishop Of Ireland
named Patraic. Another person named
Sen Patraic and also called "Old Pat

ycstigators Saint Patrick's own mans

wrote 1t, "Patricius," means 'patri-

the former belief that he was tradi.

beyond dispute The important facts
about him, indeed, are in his own

Counting the Money.

At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon six ty boxes had been open at the Col onial Trust Co. They contained $750. The largest bill in any of the boxes was $10 and there was check found for $2.
 The girls that went through the factories were royalty treated by the employees and in many instances their tags gave out. In some of the fac. tories the men that had no nickels, dimes or quarters poured pennies into the boxes.
 It looks as though the money col. lected will exceed the expectations of the committee for this afternoon 50,000 more tickets had to be print. ed and strung. making more than 100000 that have been turned out.
 Dr Spencer of the executive con- mittee, said that all the managers were reporting tremendous tagging, some of the taggers giving as much as $10 tag.
 The appeal in the papers last even- ing for automobiles was answered and Mrs E. o. Goss, who was in charge of this department, said there wa splenty of cars and every district was supplied with machine. The men who sent their cars this morn- ing were William Fulton, John Sew ell, Irving Stackman, Dr Dwyer, Irv- ing Atwood and John Lyons.
 Mrs A. A. Crane was out at 5 o'clock this morning and did the tag ging at the station. Before o'clock this morning she had sold more than 5000 tags.
 There are one thousand boxes out or at least that many were sen tout. They began to come in this after noon and ahe now being counted at the Colonial Trust Co.
 The boxes in Providence averaged $30 apiece, each and the average amount for each person tagged thir- teen and one-half cents.
 A squad of taggers from Dr Grady's office under the supervision of Mrs Stephen w Wilby and Miss Grady were allowed to stand in the lobbyof Jacques theater at the matinee this afternoon and had great success. An other squad from Dr Grady's office went to the convent de Notre Dame and received a handsome amount. A squad under the management of Mrs Nj. D. Russell went through Polls theater this afternoon also.

HILL HEARS GOOD NEWS.
Tobacco Growers and Others Say
 They Are for Him

Washington, Nov 14.-There were further conferences yesterday be- tween Representative k. J. Hill of Norwalk and the Connecticut tobac- co growers delegation, which urged the ways and means committee to let the tobacco schedules alone and more of the delegation joined Chair man M. l.. Floyd of Tariffville in de- claring their support of MT Hill to succeed Senator Frank B. Brandegee.
 "I am for Hill for the senate" said Joseph c. Mitchelson of Tariffville at the conclusion of the tobacco hearing. So am l; so are we all," declared L. P. Bissell of Suffield. These senti- ments were echoed by other members of the delegation. It is expected that on arriving home the men will set to work for MT Hill. ..
 "The only objection I have to MT Hill," said Owen E. Case of Bark hamsted, 'is that We in the fourth district will lose him." As similar argument is being used by Senator Brandegee, MT Hills friends are in- clined to be suspicious.
 Before taking the train last night for home, MT Hill said, Everything looks good. I have received hun- dreds of pledges of support from all parts of the state by mail, telegraph, telephone and in person. expect to hear better news at home"
