Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock the party of southern tourists under the direction of Frank H. Allen reached home, after a delightful trip. They had one of the finest trips of any par ty Mr. Allen has conducted and of the 35 days they were gone B were beau tiful days. Two were cloudy. but not stormy and none was cold, They skip ped a mixture of weather here which they do not regret.
 Leaving New York, the party went to Key West and from there to Cuha. where two days were spent. While at Key West, McCurdy, the aviator, was at the same hotel with them. waiting for chance to fly to Cuba. Wea ther conditions were not right either then or while theN were at Cuba, althougn they anxiously watched for him. The torpedo boats were there and the one with the platform for his benefit was among the fleet.
 Returning to Key West, the party visited Tampa and went to Alta Monte springs for q week. This is in the midst of the orange groves. and from there they went up the St. John's river to PalatIxa, and later to Oekld- waha river to Silver Spring, which ia a spring 80 feet deep from which the river large enough for goiod sized boats.

SEVERAL LARGE APPEALS. Board of Relief at MontviIIs Have Mill
 Men Before Them.

The board of relief of Montvifle will he'd its final public session at the office of the town clerk, Charles N Chap pell on Tuesday. Feb 21. The session held last Tuesday was a lively one, several owners of property appearing to say hard words about the work of the assessors. I nsome cases it is be- lieved the board will make reductions, though in the main the action of the board of assessors will be upheld.
 Charles D. White of the Uncasville Manufacturing company and of Pequot mill appeared and registered kick against the valuation of his Pequot miils property, which was raised this year by the assessors. MT. White told the board of relief that he was ready at any time to hand over the Pequot mill property to any man. who would give him a check for $35. .0o0. He also told the board that he would carry the present assessment into the courts be- fore he would pay the tax.
 With the Thames River Specia1ties company represented before the board there appears to have been some mis- understanding at the time the property it owns was acquired. Representatives of the company allege that they under stood the property would be exempt from taxation for period of five years from the time the mill was completed and in operation. The towns records fail to show any corroboration of this.
 Unofficially it is understood that the board of relief will consider favorably some reduction in the assessment for Pequot mill probably agreeing upon valuation of $50,000.

COMMON PLEAS COURT.
Two Matters Before Judge Waller al
 New London.

William Delehanty of New London appeared in the court of common pleas at New London, Saturday, asking judgment for $75 against Thomas Coo- ney of New London. Delehanty sues for this amount, which he claims he loaned Cooney.
 Cooney admits borrowing money from De1ehanty, but says he never borrowed any such amount and owes Delehanty no such sum, It is claimed also that the money was borrowed, if at all, when Cooney was minor, as Delehanty first presented the bill to Judge Alfred Colt of the probate court at the time Cooney received his fa- thers estate.
 John D. Mulcahey, who was Cooney's guardian and administrator of the Cooney estate. was witness, as was Delehanty and Cooney. Cooney said he became intimate with Dele hanty through 9 mutual friend, 8. rail- road employe. He had borrowed $22 once from Delehanty and on one oc- casion De1ehanty gave him 50 cents for tobacco. Judge Waller took the papers.
 Another suit heard was that of Op- penheim, Stern & Hacker vs. Max Lahn. The plaintiff company is a wholesale concern, which claims sLahn, who is a Westerly merchant owes it $50 for a bill of goods. Lahn says the goods were not what he or dered
 The case of John Chirba ct al. vs. George Geraps is assigned for Nor wich today.

Action Brought Against Thames River
 SpeciaIties Co.

Papers have been served by Deputy Sheriff Herbert F. Draper on the Thames River SpeciaIties company, a vile, in 8 suit brought by and in fa- vor of Walter o. Whitaker. The pa pers were in the nature of an at tachment upon property owned by the company the attachment covering eight parcels of property situated in Uncasville near the big plant recently started by the concern.

name on stone for 1910. Carl Edward Kinney.
 In presenting the crosses and medals Rev. MT. Carey called attention to the 37th Psalm which had been read as the lesson for the day, and gave them as their WatchWord Keep Innocence, saving that 1t is the most precious thing anyone can keep in the world. Many. he said, think that 1t is good thing to have all kinds of experiences. but this he does not believe, for by so doing their precious gift of innocence will be suIlfed for many. Keep away from thosa things you would not do or hear if your parents were present, and at the close of your lives you will have that peace that passeth understanding.
 The vested choir under the direction of w. F. Hahakotte as the special num- Der for the afternoon sang Mendel- ssohn's 42d Psalm In most commend able manner, with the usual volume and expression. the effort being decidedly successful one ill every particular.

14,618,761 ROMAN CATHOLICS. New York Leads With 2,75817f. anc
 Colorado is Last.

Milwaukee, Wis. Feb. 19.--Tnere are at present 14,81S,76t Roman Catholics in the United States, according to the 1911 Wiltziers official Catholic direc- tory, which is now in press. The figure given does not include the Catholics in the Philippines, Porto Rico or Ha- waiian Islands, for if these were added the number of Roman Catholics under the Stars and Stripes would be nearly 3,000,0O0. Although the United States religious census of 1906 credits the Ro- man Catholic faith with only 12,079, 142, the Wiltzius figure is not exaggerated as the census bureau deducted 15 per cent. of it's total count for children, counting only communicants.
 According to the directory, there are priests and 13,461 churches. Of hais number, 9,017 have resident pastors: Catholics also control 4,973 parochias schools, with an attendance of 1.270,- I31. In addition to this there are 225 colleges for boys and 696 academies for girls and S2 ecclesiastical semina- ries.
 According to the Wiltzius pubIica- ton, the states of the union having the largest number of Catholics are: New York, 2,75s,171; Pennsylvania 1,52T.- 239; Illinois 1.446400: Massachusetts, 1,3so,s21; Ohio, 6s4,271; Louisiana, 557.43l; Wisconsin, 540,956: Michigan, 5sS,107; New Jersey. 495.o00; Missouri 452.703; Minnesota, 441.os1; California, a91.500; Connecticut. 37S.854: Texas 2s5,917: Maryland. 260.Oo0: Rhode Isl- and. 251G00: Iowa. a42.10a; Indiana 22397S; Kentucky. 146s s607: New Mexi- co, 127, 900; New Hampshire. 1e6,034: Maine. 123547; Nebraska. 122,510; Kansas, .110,10S: Colorado 99,4s5.
