THE FIRST CATHOLIC STATE
OF THE FORTY-SIX COMPRISING
THE UNITED STATES.
Rhode Island Gains This Distinction
Owing to PrepOnderance of Irish,
French Canadians and Italians.

Rhode Island Gains This Distinction
Owing to PrepOnderance of Irish,
French Canadians and Italians.
Rhode Island is the first of the
subdivisions of the United States in
which a majority of the people pro-
fess the Roman Catholic faith.
A recent census discloses that out
of a population of 48O,O82 the Cath
olics lead by 1890. They number
243.936 to 236,146 non-Catholics.
Jews are reckoned with the latter,
and every protestant whether he IS
church member or not.
This realignment has been coming
on gradually. The transformation
which is at work in New England
racially and religiously is borne out
more pronouncedly in Rhode Island
than in the FIVE other territorial sub
divisions of the eastern states.
Rhode Island is smaller in area
than anv other state in the union. 1t
is likewise the most densely populat-
ed. It is noted for its wealth as well
as for it's congestion. We have to
90 to Belgium to find a parallel TO
its crowded condition.
After Rhode Island Massachusetts
and Connecticut have the largest
number of Catholics in comparison
with the non-Catholic population.
They constitute half of the total In
the limited States. In less than 20
wears at the present rate of increase
thew will constitute the majority
While the lead in Rhode Island is
slight it is bound to Irow rapidly as
the number of children in the Catho-
lie falmiies is much larger than
IN protestant families. The l0,Oo0
Jews relatively hold their own with
the Catholics in offspring.
Rhode Island further emphasizes
the change by having a Cathoiic
governor, James H. Higgins, VINO Is

ROCKEFELLER AMAZED GEORGIA TOWN

III glimpse of him as he darted by in
his automobile
Ate Heartily of Barbecue.
"hen the Cleveland Grays in their
annual tour passed through Augusta
they were entertained with an Old
time Georgia barbecue in one Of the
CITY pleasure parks. An invitation
was sent to Mr.. Rockefeller. which
ne accepted with expressions of pleas
ure. And the oil king was on hand
When the dinner bell rang. and de-
spite the protest of his physician ate
heartily of barbecued hog, barbecued
chicken and barbecued hash while
seated on one end of a rough bench
along with half hundred hungry
members of the Ohio militia.
Though seemingly careless Mr..
Rockefeller knows how to protect
himself from persons seeking contri-
buttons to charity. Among the many
who talked to him in Augusta was
one young woman who devotes her
life work to the uplifting and educa-
ton of the mountaineer classes.
Naturally she needs money for her
work and sought what she consider
ed likely source. Securing an intro
duction to the oil king at his hotel
this diplomatic young woman amused
him until late hour with one funny
story after another, the hero of each
one being some pupil under her
charge.
So entertaining was she that the
evening was only ended after several
Interruptions from the insistent DR..
Biggars. But Mr.. Rockefeller did
not part from the young woman be-
fore arranging to take her riding the
next day.
'Mr. Carnegie Ought to Aid You"
During the ride she continued her
description of the work she was inter-
ested in until all hope was lost in one
remark of her host. He expressed
great interest in her mountaineer
school and added:
And what a pity it would be if
some one like Mr.. Carnegie would
come along and endow your school
instead of leaving it to depend upon
it's own telling efforts" The enthu-
siasm of the young woman has not
yet led her to make another effort
with the oil king.
On the links Mr.. Rockefeller does
not discriminate with regard to his
opponents. Besides having played
golf this winter with over half hun
dred of Americas foremost million
aires he is observation-disclosures with
any member of the club that hap
pens to be about when he arrives
for his morning game. He has been
seen plodding along beside a great
financier one day and playing with
some young fellow from town on the
next.

occasions invited them into his cleo

country's smooth roads.
Took Candy Salesgirl.
Recently Mr.. Rockefeller astonish-
ed the occupants of soda water and
candy store by engaging in conversa-
ton with a pretty girl back of the
counter, and when the old ladies of
the community saw the girl automo-
billing with the oil king that after
noon excitement in the sewing cir
cles reached the limit.
The first church that the Standard
magnate entered in Augusta was one
which is exclusively for negroes and
whose pastor is a famous and we'll
educated negro. His mere entrance
caused a mild sensation, and the con-
gregation half rose in their seats.
When the offertory began curiosity
to know what the oil king was going
TO contribute threatened a serious
interruption of the service.
Mr.. Rockefeller's regular church
in Augusta is the First Baptist. He
enjoys the service there each Sun
day, and likes to linger after the ben
ediction to chat with his neighbors
in adjoining pews. In this manner
many persons have secured an intro

TELEPHONE MANNERS.
Some Suggestions That Are AppIi-
cable Even in Dawson.

| 7oiiio suggestions mat Are Appu-
cable Even in Dawson.
A gentleman is one who is always
courteous and considerate in address
ing another. If this be true many
who consider themselves in this class
DO not measure up to its require
ments when it comes to talking over
| the telephone, says the Augusta Her
aid. Every user of the telephone
has learned this by experience. The
speaker at the other end of the wire
Is unknown, but Judging him by the
rudeness and incivility of his speech
the conclusion is brought to the hear
er that he is no gentleman. If the
telephone wire would transmit sight
as we'll as sound, and the person at
the other end of the wire could be
seen as well as heard, there probably
would be fewer uncivil rejoinders
passed. But a real gentleman will
act as a gentleman whether he can
be seen or is known or not. Some
users of telephones seem to forget
this.
Quite often mistakes are made in
I giving the connection With all the
care taken by central this seems I'M
avoidable. This may often be annoy
ing; but when such a mistake has
been made it is extremely discourte-
GUS to make rude rejOinder to the
person at the other end of the line,
who was not responsible for the mis-
take and is equally annoyed thereby.
Yet how often are ungracious ex-
pressions transmitted on such occa-
siOns.
Users of the telephones should
study the proper rules that govern
their use. The person who answers
a telephone call does not know who
is calling, and should first of all give
his name that the person calling may
know he is speaking to the desired
party; and the caller should then in
turn give his name, or make brief
and proper excuse for the mistake
if wrong connection was made. These
rules are based on common sense.
They are easily obeyed, and proper
observance of them would rob the
telephone service of what is now it's
greatest annoyance.
To answer a telephone by calling
| w a ri OH &c
The name should be given instead,
for the caller must know that he is
speaking to the right person before
he sends his message. This should
make unnecessary the usual question,
who is that?" which follows the
wrong answer to the call. 1t is the
incoherent forms of answering tele-
phone calls which is the cause of
much of the telephone inctvility, and
hence the proper form should be OBJ
served by all.
Another abuse or misuse of the
telephone should be avoided. This
lis long conversation. Everybody
should remember that telephone talk
is not private. Amy conversation may
be overheard by another, and very
often it is. Young people who
court by phone or persons who re-
late private affairs over the wire
seem to forget this. And then a long
talk may keep some one else waiting,
for it constantly happens that several
calls for the same number or that are
connected by the same wire come in
quick succession.
Telephone talk should be brief,
and it should be courteous. Long
talking over the phone is silly, and
expressions of Impotence or rude
ness proceed from ignorance and nat
ural i'll manners.
