 MARY'S CHURCH

The mission which the Pau1ist Fath- CTS began last Sunday at St. Mary's church continues despite the rainy weather to attract three large con gregations every day. Although the church seats. nearly a thousand it is necessary to divide the congr gregation that all may attend. This present week is exclusively for women. Next week will be for the men of the parish. The first service begins at o'clock in the morning. It consists of the mass fol- lowed by a sermon on some important moral subject. The service ends at about six o'clock so as not to interfere with the work of the day. There is a like service at in the morning intend ed for those who cannot attend the 5 o'clock mass.
 In the evening the service begins at 7:45. It consists of a short instruction of some fundamental doctrine of the Catholic church. This is followed by the public recitation of the rosary. Then comes the mission sermon and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The Paulist Fathers use congregational singing during their missions and the people of St. Mary's sing the new hymns with excellent effect. Confes- sions begin to-day at 3:30. The mis- sion is conducted by Rev. Peter J. Moran and Rev. Wm. T. Walsh. both of the Paulist Fathers, New York. Non-Catholics as we'll as Catholics are invited to attend.

"I suffered from eczema on my hands, arms and feet for about twelve years, my hands and feet would swell, sweai and itch, then would become calloua and get very dry, then peel of and get raw. I tried most every kind Of salve and ointment without success, only got temporary relief. As soon as I would leave of using them would beI as bad as ever. I tried several doctors. took arsenic for two years and at last gave up thinking there was a cure for eczema. A friend oi mine insisted oh, my trying the Cuticura Remedies but, supposing they were the same as other. cures had tried, I did not give them a trial until I got so bad that I had to do something. I secured 8 cake of GU. ticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oiute ment and a bottle of Cuticura ResolvertI and by the time they were used I could see a vast improvement and my handsl and feet were healed up in no time. sI used several bottles of Cuticura RH2 solvent.

yet the brakemen in a crew were only | two in number. In passenger trains the coaches have vestibules and gates. MT. Rowe said that conductor on a freight who was careful of his crew and refused to take chances was liable l to suffer in reputation.
 MT. Rowe stated that in five years members of the Brotherhood of Rail- road Trainmen alone in Connecticut had appropriated $166, $50 for a fund for brothers killed or disabled. Some insurance companies refuse to issue policies on railroad mems lives. MT. Rowe said that an employee who brought suit against a railroad com pany was dismissed instantly. It was earnestly asserted by MT Rowe that the day had arrived when the number of men on train crews for the sake of the crews safety and the public safety. He also said that the Company was long in adopting inn provements, even those that were for its benefit. He told of the great length of time the trainmen had used in com polling the employment of safety ap- plianceS that have since been of actual peeuniary benefit to the company Vim. G. Beard of New Haven, gen. era1 superintendent of the New Haven road, said that the act did not portray the nature of the bill. MT. Beard said that every train on the New Haven railroad was properly manned. The

 "So far" MT. Beard said, f'as the New Haven railroad is concerned the men who wish to appear before a com- mittee on the bill will not be called to the company'S office on account of that appearance It was untrue that a trainman would be up for criticism for being careful in his work. It was the groSseSt miSStat teTnent. which could be made to state that men were morally coerced or intimidated to run into dan- ger.
 MT. Beard showed a statement of train accidents in 1908 and said that he had statement as to the manning of every railroad in Connecticut. The average number of cars per train on the passenger side was four to seven per division. The maximum was from eight to thirteen according to the di- vision.
 It would, cost in Rhode Island $167 900 in Massachusetts s245,OOO and in Con necticut s152, 900 to man trains accord ing to the bill. Let the company use the money to buy improved signaling apparatus. It was not to save the S564 GOO of money that the company op- posed the bill Tut because the method was not wise. -
 MT. O'Hern rose to stand by his statements that the company did in timidate employees. MT. Rowe backed up his statement by saying that a flu ture minor violation would result in a discharge. He said that there were men who objected to appearing at the hearing for that reason.

A thrilling tale of the dangers of railroad employment was told before the Committee on Railroads in Hart ford. on the occasion of the hearing on the bill ''to better protect the lives of railroad employees and the travelling public" which has the sanction of the several organizations of railroad em- pAoyes. The stories of slaughter at this peaceful occupation sounded like accounts of Cuban battlefelds.
 Some who favored the bill were: J. L. Rowe, general chairman of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen in the New Haven road system, of Bridge port; E. J. Manion, general chairman of the Order of Railroad Photographers for the New Haven system; F. S. Ev- ans, general chairman of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers for the same system. MT. OHern, who is the state legislative representative of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, is a pupil of P. H. Morrison, past grand master of the brotherhood MT. Nor riSon is now president of the American Employers and Investors Association, which has its headquarters at Chica- go.
 General Superintendent William G. Beard of the New Haven system, Su- perintendent B. R. Pollock of the I1ISuldiio olNlSlou anu AllOTuey Lu- cius F. Robinson were present to op- pose the bill.
 MT. O'Hern read an extract from a report of the interstate commerce com mission. The report said that poor management was a cause of many of the deaths.
 The number of employees killed in the United States annually was 3.6SO and in Connecticut the average killed was 55, or above the ratio of the state according to area.
 Mr. OHern gave stitistics to show that one trainman was killed in the country to every 125 trainmen employ ed and that one in every S2 trainmen in Connecticut was killed. The show ing was better in 1908 than in some years preceding because of the de- crease in traffic.
 MT. O'Hern said that there was no claim that passenger brakemen were overworked, but it was true that they could not be in two places at the same moment. What was wanted was safe ty for brakemen and the public.
 MT. Rowe of Bridgeport, general chairman of the Brotherhood of Train men on the New Haven railroad sys- tenn, told about former opposition of the company to the removal of the old fashioned coupling pins. He supposed that the company would object to the bill for the reason that it would in volve expense.
