The ordinary revenue of the church has been during the past year $200 more than last year, which shows that more people are coming to St. James and there is more generosity. Father O'Connor after reading the financial statement. thanked all the people of his parish, saying that though small in numbers they have proven themselves great in loyalty, generosity and kindness of heart. He also thanked the n0n-Catholics of Stratford, who by their financial sup port and goodwill assisted in the ma teral progress of the parish. Such a spirit in any community is more precious than silver or gold. Continu- ing Father O'Connor said: "An ac- quaintance with the sacred pages and the enlightenment of the 2Oth century teach all intelligent men that as de- duty is the worship of God their Crea- tor hence the practice of religion. But to do this properly and with value to themselves they are wise enough to discover that they must exemplify by their lives true Christian charity.

BLIND TIGERS DISCHARGED.
Good People of the City Organize to See
That the Laws are Upheld.

Thursday night of last week a
we'll attended meeting of the Law
and Order League was held. The
question Of trying the blind
tigers which have been operating
here 80 boldly vas discussed, and,
owing to the fact that the detect

had been beaten, driven out of the
city and threatened with death if
they returned, it was considered
necessary to send after them. A
committee volunteered to do this,
they left Thursday for Columbia,
S. c., and returned Friday night
with the men, which were too late
for the trials which were to be'held
during the day, but which had
been postponed until Manday.

men. quite a number Of prominent

case of this lot called Monday WAS
that of Homer Miller, a man who
has repeatedly been before the
court for the same offense and
who had previously submitted to
the charge, but Oh this occasion
denied his guilt, swore he was at
home sick and had not cen the
detectives at the time indicated
in the charge. The detectives,
however, swore that they had &C
tually bought whiskey from Mill
er, but had been drinking and
one of them c%ontradicted himself
on the stand several times, and
while it seemed perfectly clear
that Miller was guilty, yet the
witnesses did not make a case
strong enough for Judge Miller to
pass a sentence of guilty, SO CIV
ing the defendant the benefit of
the doubt the case was dismissed.
This being the strongest case In
the lot it was thought best to
drop them all, consequently a mol
pros was entered.
This effort IN the part of the
Law and Order League cost about
5000 in round figures and the
members thereof went down 10
their pockets and paid every cent

pay for such suppression of crime

The detectives left for their
homes Monday night.
