Waterbury looks good

Waterbury looks good.
 The new material will help Us.
 The fight for leadership will now sizZle.
 Saturday, Jan 1S-Brdgeport at Providence, Pawtucket at New Brit ain.
 New Haven will have to strengthen or there will be a sudden drop in the temperature down that way.
 Providence showed what can be done in the game last night with the leaders The new rusher and new goal tender were all to the merry,
 If Dave Cusick persists in follow ing out the statement he made the other afternoon, that he would quit the local team after the game Friday night, then Dave will be out in the cold.
 Frank Sutton is reported as having been signed by the local management to take Cusick's place in case the lat ter quits. Sutton is almost up at the top in the records of the goal tenders of this league.
 It is too bad that Tommy Holder ness will have to walk the release plank, but sympathy and business do not walk hand in hand these days. The fans want polo and they will get it from now on.
 McGrath, the new halfback signed by Waterbury is one of the best in the business. He is big fellow, stand ing six feet in height and weighs over two hundred pounds. He will fill In nicely with the rest of our players.
 When the new local team is reorgan- ized it is understood that the local management will have something to say about what shall and shall not be used in the dressing rooms in the way of liniments, etc.
 The Interstate made q last dying grasp but the demise was predicted and no physician could administer a restorative. With all their boasted money, their own rinks and plenty of nerve, they were forced to eat crow at the hands of the eastern men.
 The players from the west say that the teams out there had to report every morning for practice and to learn new tricks and combinations It wouldn't be bad idea to follow from now on and the players and team would be all the peter for it.

STATES POPULATION.
Estimates Made from the Enumera.
 tiOn of School Children.

The state enumeration of children of school age gives total enrolment of 234 ,117, which Is estimated to indicate a population for the state of 1,067, ,573. This is reached by simple calcula- ton. In 100 the ratio of enumerated children to total population was as one to 4.56. If We multiply 234, III by 456 we get the figure taken as like ly to represent the population.
 This form of calculation Is better fitted for the whole state than for in- dividual localities. The state ratio might cOnceivably not be the exact ratio of any one community. It hap pens that Hartford has gained more than any other place during the past ,.nnr Thn lnndinn trnins nrn.

END OF THE GAME IN CHELSEA.

The cases against the boxers ar rested in Chelsea early in the week will be tried on Monday. The eight defendants are held in bonds of $200 each. It is believed that the sport is ended in Chelsea, for this year at least, for the mayor is de- termined in his stand and will have the police go to the announced shows night after night and make arrests.

 New Haven county leads in the mat ter of increase in enumeration, with Fairfield second and Hartford third, all of which indicates the steady drift toward cities. New London county falls off 3s1, the only county that shows q net decrease The three counties which hold the large cities show nine -tenths of the total increase, or 6.22i out of 6,5T0 But there was more or less gain in each of two thirds of all the towns that changed at all.

and yet, such conclusion as regards
the historical value of the fourth gos-
pei, is concurred in by every scholar
worthy the name, and it is not new
theory by any means. No wonder that
when the judgment of excommunca-
ton was pronounced against him, LOisy,
sure of his position, announced that he
would appeal from the judgment of
ecclesasticism to that of an enlightened
conscience and intellect"
What kind Of picture is here pre-
sented! A man struggling for light de.
nounced by church authority. Turning
to the other side of the canvas another
picture may be seen. 1t is of the same
man at an earlier period taking the first
step in that mighty struggle. For years
the Catholic clergy was in a condition
of Intellectual sterility. Their priests
were far behind the Protestant leaders
in matters of learning save in the direc-
ton of matters of mere antiquarian
interest. This inferiority was recog
nized and felt by Loisy. At that time
no question was raised as to his author
doX standing. Study and investigation
extending over period of thirty years
had wrought vast change. He saw
many forms of theological doctrine ia
another and different light What is
more he possessed the courage to make
known the truths he had found. ROme''
anger kindled A refusal to retract
added fuel to the flames, and LOisy was
put out of the church.

THE BLADE COMPLIMENTED.

There is always certain pride eX-
perienced when we know that Others
are appreciativc of the best efforts we
put forth to win. A little praise now
and then is wonderful stimulant. In
the case of child who really tries to
do something, if you praise him for his
effort, even though he fail, you have
done good. And are we not all grown
children? Do we not appreciate the
praise Just as much in our mature are
as we did years ago. In any rvent we
feel that way, and our inclination is to
believe that it is the same way
with others. This is in perfect accord
with human nature and we would not
have it otherwise if we could
Our friends can now easily under
stand how we appreciate the kind

ECCLESIASTICISM
AND SCHOLARSHIP.

Additional testimony is at hand show
ing in most conclusive fashion the
direct antagonism between ecclesiasti-
cism and learning, the strongest Of
which is furnished by the recent exam
nation of the noted French priest, the
Able Loisy.
The present age may be well termed
the cage of Reason" as distinguished
from the known age of faith under posi-
tive Christian rule. During the eccles.
astical period both the clergy and laity
were densely ignorant. The priest was
the pivot around which human society
revolved. For the poor in body there
was no physician. For the dying, a
monk and a crucifix were deemed SUI
ficient. The sole aim of those in author
ity was to prepare for the individual

at its lowest ebb, and all efforts at learn
ing were frowned upon, discouraged
and actually forbidden under pains AMI
penalties.
Ecclesiasticism has undergone but lit
the change in it's attitude towards
knowledge, and is much the same TO-
day as it was in the fifteenth century
The ecclesiastical ban placed upon the
Able Loisy is an evidence of this fact.
Prior to this step, the Pope had eX.
communicated Father Tyrrel, the Cath
Ollie primate of Great Britain, because
of his modernist views. Thus two Of
the greatest Catholic scholars in Europe
have been thrust outside the pale of
Rome because of their learning and for
holding and teaching advanced views
anent some of the principal tenets of
the Christian doctrine. From these
evidences we find ample proof for the
assertion that the Christian church, once
so full of vigOr and strength, contains
within itself the seeds of inevitable de-
cay. The principal medium of destruc
ton lies in the attempt to maintain an
immobility of intellect in the midst of
an ever advancing knowledge, which
encompasses the church on every side.
What little progress the ecclesiastical
orders have made is due to reluctant
relinquishing of the dOgmas of immuta
bility and infallibility, shifting the axis
of faith as the progress of human events
required One by one the cherished
traditions Of the church were over
thrown and abandoned, and human So
ciety was readjusted, the new basis
showing but little regard for the orthO-
dOx demands.
Both the Catholic and Protestant
churches are undergoing similar
transformation at the present time. This
is an age of change, and reason has been
the propelling power. Excommunica-
tons by the one, heresy convictions and
punishments by the other, are the SUI
preme manifestations of this mighty
force. 1t would appear that in both
theology had almost run mad. From
these causes, that is, the causes of an
advancing human intelligence, termed
as Modernism by the Church of Rome,
and denounced as heresy by the Protest.
ant branches, that Catholic priest and
Protestant clergyman have been un-
frocked and shorn of their ecclesiastical
authority by the heads of their respec
tive departments.
One of the principal offenses said to
have been charged against the
Able Loisy, was that he had,
after years of patient study and
research, held that. the gospel OF
John was but mystical allegory,
work of speculation. The doctrine is
reported to have provoked the Vatican,
