TRAPPIST MONKS CELEBRATE
 ST. BERNARD'S DAY

St. Be1nard's Day will be observed with special ceremonies today in all the monaEteries of the Cistercian Trappist monks, who will honor the memory Of the good saint who was one of the-f0unders of their organiza- ton, famed for it's extraordinary aus terity. Saint Bernard died on August 20, u53, and was canoniZed in 1774 by Pope Alexander III, since which time the twentieth of August has been a date sacred to his memory on the cala adar of the Roman church.
 St. Bernard was born of noble family in Burgundy. in 1091. He was educated at the University of Paris, and then, at the age of twenty-three, entered the recently founded monas- tery at Citeaux, together with his brothers and a score of companions. dinarily strict, but Bernard observed them all, and so distinguished him. self for austerity, ability and disci- rline that he was chosen to lead the coleney to Clairvaux, and was made the abbot of the new house. an office which he filled to his death. Tn 112S he prepared the statutes for the or der of Knights Templar. He was the principal promoter of the second cru- sade, and was the founder of 160 mon asterieS
 The Cistercian order, which St, Der , is usually called the Trappist order by reason of the fact that one of the most celebrated of it's pioneer abbeys was located in the narrow valley of La Trappe-"the trap''-so called be- cause of it's inaccessibility. The name of St. Bernard has been perpetuated by the celebrated pass of the Pennine Alps in Switzerland called Great St. 5 Bernard The St-sBernard dogs kept there to- assist the brethren in their humane activities are we'll known. In the midst of tempests and snoWstorms the monks accompanied by some of these large and intelligent canines, set out for the purpose of tracking those who have lost their way and who are in danger of perishing in the storm.
 Today is the sixtieth anniversary of one of the worst disasters on the Great Lakes. The steamers Ogdens- burg and Atlantic met in collision, and more than hundred lives were lost. principally of Norwegian emi- grants, whose ignorance of English prevented them from being apprised of their peril and of the means of es- cape.

STRENGTH OF PUBLIC OPINION.


 The strength of public opinion is agains demonstrated in the abandon .ment by Tammany Hall of it's plan to nominate Mayor Gaynor for gover- nor. It is only a few weeks ago when it was thought that the mayor of New York city could have had this important nomination merely by saying the word. To-day. the may or's gubernatorial chances are prac.- tically nil. His failure to take ag- gressive action in the Rosenthal case has ended his chances for future po- litical advancement or preferment, at least for some time to come. Public opinion is clearly incensed at the mayors attitude and 1t will be many a day before he stands in the popu- lar favor in, any such position as he occupied a few short weeks ago.
 Not only in New York, but right up here in Connecticut, we could point to instances where the force of en- frightened public opinion is destroying the political ambitions of certain in- ,dividuals. There is one case which seeking gubernatorial honers from his own party when the great majority of his fellow partisans know very we'll and admit quite frankly that he would have no show on election day.
 Why? Because public opinion in-
  considered the. advocate and adherent of the very worst elements in the po- litical life of Connecticut. He is considered the buttress of 8. system of county government which has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. He is felt to be the polit- ical servant Of certain corporate .n- terests which are more concerned with their own than with the public welfare. His record in politics shows that he has been lined up on many sides of the fence. His rec ord in official positions indicates the one side of the fence on which he has always played. Public opinion indicates that he is 8 dead one polit- ically. His own fellow partisans ad- init as much; but some of them think that the best way to get rid of him in politics is to put Him up and let the voters kill him off. Perhaps they are right.

VISIT OF BIOLOGISTS.
(Merideno JournaI.)

MeT1QSn JOuFndI)
 We are very glad these European scientists are coming here Tuesday to inspect the strange geological form ations that make Meriden hills of vast interest. They will see the peculiar conditions that have resulted from the faults" and the erosions of many centuries and perhaps may be able to explain some of the things that have long puzzled our native experts. F For one thing this old ashbed over on Mt. Lamentation has long been an object of conjecture. It was originally thought that this was the crater of an extinct volcano but Professor Rice, of Wesleyan, has disa bused that idea and says that there are two plausible theories about it, both of which are highly scientific but not all clear to the layfnan.
 West Peak is rich in geological nna- terial as is also the old stone quarry and much of interest will no doubt be pointed out. AS for the hanging hills and the country to the eastward there is more of interest there. We are glad that Meriden offers so much of interest to these men of science.
