FATHER GRENIER
 TO QUIT PARISH
III Health, Due to Worries of New Haven Pastor, Causes Resignation.

New Haven, Aug. 14.-After having been pastor of St. Louis Canadian Catholic church for nearly six years, Rev. Father J. A. N. Grenier, who has been in ilI-health for some time, will leave the Canadian parish next We'd nesday. His leave will be permanent. He will not return to this city. and affairs at St. Louis church will be taken in charge by a Catholic order from Hartford composed of the Lasal- ette fathers. The Lasalette fathers will conduct matters at the Canadian church until the new bishop is installed at Hartford. A new pastor will then be chosen
 Although there had been a rumor that the pastor would leave, it was thought that he was going on a vaca- tion for his health. and that he would return. The fact that there are two factions in the Canadian parish caused much trouble. not only to the present pastor, but to those previously con- nected with St. Louis church. -
 A horse belonging to a priest at this church a number of years ago was poisoned, ill-feeling being held respon- sible for that at the time.
 Father Grenier's health is attributed partly to the faction against him and the church.

PRICES GOING UP
Everything We Eat and
 Wear Steadily Advancing, With the End Not in Sight

New York, Aug. 14-The cost of liv- ing is steadily increasing. In the last thirteen years there has been an ad- vance in the price of commodities of exactly 49.1 per cent. This includes not only breadstuffs but clothing, leather, dairy products-in fact, every thing that enters to any appreciable extent into the demands of the house. holders.
 During this summer there has been a gradual upward turn. The whole saler is paying this month one-half of one per cent. more for various com modities than he did in July, and with each month since the end of spring. While the wholesaler has been paying more, the advance to the consumer, has been progressing to an even greater extent.
 Forty-eight articles used by the householder are higher this month than they were a year ago, and all of these articles are those of which the consumer buys the most, such as flour. eggs, pork, mutton, cheese, coffee, tea, and butter.
 Bradstreet's Agency has been keep ing track of the movement of prices for comparative purposes since 1892, the year before the big panic. In ar irving at the average increase, the agency takes the wholesale market prices of 106 different commodities, ranging from milk, bread. flour, and other articles used in the household, to leather, textiles, and building ma terials. The prices of these commodi- ties per pound are added together, giv- ing what is technically called tho 'in- dex number''-or what it would cost to buy one pound of all of the 106 com modities. The agency has found that the articles taken for tbis list. when added together, furnish a true barom- eter of general prices.
 In 1892, the year before the panic of 1893. the index of commodity prices was $S.13S2. In 1896, when the country was in the depths of the depression which followed the panic. the index price went down to s5.7019. Then came an intermediate. period. and later, just before the panic of 1907, prices reached their highest point. the commodity average being ss1293. In the summer of 1908 the price dropped to S7.7227, and after that there came a gradual in- crease. In January of this year the index price was $S2631, while this month it is $S.5039. The significance of these figures to the householder is that. while prices have been gradually going up in the wholesale market, the consumer has been obliged to pay, not only this in crease, but in many instances consider ably more. It is generally agreed that | it is the consumer who. in the long run, has to bear the brunt.

 THE WOMEN
Tin Strikers Female Rela- tives Hoot About Non Union Homes.

Elwood, Ind, Aug. 1.-The wives and daughters of the striking Sheet and Tin Plate company employees are
 making the lives of the non-union men so miserable that the manage ment has decided to apply to Judge Baker of the Federal Court for an
 injunction against them. A large
 number of affidavits have been pre- pared setting forth the. grievances of the company against the women.
 In some instances. it is set forth, the women surrounded the homes of work men after their return from the fac tory and by singing and shouting make it impossible for the men to sleep. The husbands and brothers of the women, the application says, stand in the background and encourage the women to riotous deeds, and the po- lice who escort the workmen to and from the mill by order of the Mayor do not attempt to make arrests. The business men of the city are insisting that something be done to curb the agitators and end the strike The Police Department which has been increased from eight to- seven teen men, has proved wholly. dnade quate, the mill management says, tt handle the women.

Recognized by thousands of his con- stituents as the leader of the progres- sive Republican faction in the Senate, Senator A. B. Cummins of Iowa is be- ing hailed as the possible standard bearer of his party in 1912. When the Senator gave out his statement in Chi cago practically throwing down the gauntlet to the high tariff forces he was reported as intimating that he would not be averse to accepting the nomination for President. although he expressed complete confidence in Pres ident Taft'S willingness to carry out party pledges. He declared, however, that tariff would never again be a party issue and that every State and Congressional convention between now and the next Republican national con- vention would be asked to adopt tacit pledges and demands for tariff reduc- tiOn.

Ran Through Streets with
 Striped Pole Dangling

Rockville, Aug. 14.-There was an exciting episode in the business cen ter yesterday morning, when a COW ran around the street with a barber's pole attached to her. The COW had been tied to the pole by a boy and when the flies began to bother her, she tugged on the rope until the bar ber's striped sign gave way and the animal went scampering down the street with the dismantled pole drag ging. The COW is a high bred animal and her frightened antics furnished amusement for many on the streets at the time.
