CONSIDERATION OF ST. PATRICK'S
Climax of Towns Catholic History, Which Began With
 French Immigrants in 1767-$400 900 Parish Property Free From All Encumbrances.

The preparations for the consecra ton of St. Patrick's church tomorrow the 24th, are completed, and from the demand for cards of admission it is evident that immense crowds will fill the ed1fice at both morning and even ing services. The three beautiful new marble altars are in place, and under direction of the energetic rector, Rev. Hugh Treanor, the final touches have been given all portions of the $4OO, 900 church property. The approaching ceremonial has already attracted many visitors to view the church and has started research into the early history of Catholicity in Norwich. The rec ords show that as far back as the middle of the 18th century there were residents of that faith within the town.
 French Catholics Here in 1767.
 It is recorded that in 1767 a certain Capt. Richard Leffingwell ''carried 240 French and their priest from Norwich to Quebec" Still earlier. in 1756, 19 of the 300 Arcadians forcibly landed in New London were apportioned to Norwich, and doubtless practiced their religion as best they might.

PLEA OF ROADS

Carriers Cannot Increase
Rates on Cement.
AFFECTS ENTIRE WEST

Companies Made the Plea That Addi.
tionai Revenue Was Needed, but the
Interstate Commerce Commission
Refused to Consider the Argument.
Approval of Proposed Advances
Given in a Few Cases. ....-.s
Washington, April 2S.-Refusal OF
the interstate commerce commission
to permit the principal railways OF
the West to advance their rates or
the transportation of cement, for the
reason that the carriers are alleged
to need additional revenue, is th..
feature of decision handed down in
the important Portland cement case
General advances of from half a
| cent to cents hundred pounds in
rates on cement were proposed by the
carriers in transmissouri territory. to
become effective Sept |, 1910. and
affected a territory which produces
approximately two-thirds of the Port,
land cement made in the United
States e.
Cement is commodity of compare
lively low grade in transportation, but
in commercial bulk is exceeded only
by coal, iron ore and grain. The ad
vances proposed were attacked by
producers and shippers and, pending
an investigation, the commission sus,
pended them. first until Nov. |, 1910,
and subsequently until July |, 1911. :
The points of destination to which
the proposed rates apply cover a wide
range of territory extending from hi
nois and Tennessee on the east to the
Rocky mountain territory on the wes
| and involve rates throughout the coun
| try.
Some Advances Allowed.
In the opinion promulgated, which
was prepared by Commissioner M,
Chord, some OF the advances are sIS,.
tanned and many Of them are disap-
proved. The commission did not ac.
cept as decisive the statement of the
carriers that present cement rates are
so low as to be unremunerative and
that the commodity does not bear it's
just proportion of the burden of trans
portation, the testimony on that tea.

very meager." ,.4,E ..

Record Of Book Prices.

During the past IA or Il years there
has been published an annual volume
giving the highest price at which
books generally copies Of rare books
have been sold at auction in the
large American cities That giving the
prices, or record of sales of books,
manuscripts and autographs sold by
auction in Boston, New York and
Philadelphia from sept /, 1909. to
Sept /, 1910, compiled from the auc-
tioneers' catalogues by Luther s. Liy-
ingston has just been issued in pri-
vate edition of $50 copies, of nearly
900 pages each, with full records Of
the great sales.
From it we learn that the number
of books sold last season by auction
in the United States appears to have
been about the same as in the proceed
ing season. Last year the volume
recorded 1850 lots selected from
about 10000 lots in l5l catalogues.
This year the record included 1895
lots. out of some $4,000 lots de
scribed in l4S catalogues.
The discrepancy in size OF the vol
ume is accounted for by the compare
lively higher prices brought By the
material offered The great Amor

year. the Ilaber, Maier, Chamberlain
and Holden sales in New York, and
the Pennypacker and Clark sales in

face, but this contained fewer rarities
than some others of which mention is
omitted George Bernard Shaw is a
new arrival this year, no less than 20
of his items having brought more

HOW WILLIE GOT THE PRIZE.
He Saw One Way and the Teacher
Saw Another.

Little Willie, having only one eye
did not like to attend school. one
afternoon he stayed home, and his
mother sent him to the store for loaf
of bread. On the way back he stopped
at the school. The school examiners
were there to award prize OF fve DOL
lars, in gold, to the smartest boy or
girl in the class. Just as Willie en-
tered, the teacher held up one finger.
Then Willie held up two fingers. This
time she held up three fingers, and
Willie held up his fist. She held up an
apple, and Willie held up the loaf of
bread. She called him to the desk and
gave him the IS.
The examiners inquired of the
teacher why she had awarded the prize
to Willie. She replied:
Il held up one finger, meaning there
is one Supreme Being. He held up
;wo, meaning the starting Of the race,
Adam and Eve. held up three fingers,
meaning Faith, Hope and Charity. He
held up his fist, meaning In Unity
there is Strength. held up an apple,
meaning the downfall Of man. He held
up the bread, meaning the Staff of
Life. Thus I gave him the prize"
When Willie's mother wanted to
know where he got the money, he re-
piled:
Il stopped at school end the teacher

ing that | could see as much with my
