the CatnOlc Cnufch. we have not
read what they said, but we have be-
fore us the eloquent and indignant
was published in all the daily papers
of the city. The Catholic bishops pro-
test was a dignified one and more ef-
fective on that account. He called
the unprovoked attack "scurrilous and
vitriolic." He spoke in the name of
$4,000 Catholic Inhabitants of Toledo
and said in part:
Il have no desire to enter into any
acrimonious religious controversy with
the Methodists, or. for that matter,
with any religious body. The cause
of Christian truth and charity is not
served by such methods. My appeal
to my cherished fellow-citizens Of any
or no religious persuasion is the APP
peal to their reason and to the spirit
of charity. Surely this country is big
enough and wide enough. to holl US
all. The claim of the Catholic Church
to peaceful habitation here is cstab-
lished by the incontestable title deeds
of discovery and development, SO elo-
quently attested by the great monu-
ments of our national industry and
prosperity in every part of the land;
and this charter of our civil rights is
sealed by the heart-blood of thousands
upon thousands of loyal Catholics,
who died upon the battlefields of our
republic, that the Stars and Stripes
might still wave over the land of the
free and the home Of the brave.
I'm full view of the splendid galaxy
of pure-minded, noble-hearted and
self-sacriticing men and women, who
within the course of even but a CEN
tury have embraced with hottest, liv-
ing faith the Catholic religion, and
whose heroic lives have shed undying
glory upon the Christian name, have
sanctified every field of human en-
deavor and have reached to the low
est depths of human sorrow and mis-
cry, giving hope where there was
naught but blank despair, and stream
ing the warm sunshine of cheer and
happiness where there was only the
shame and suffering, what must we
think of a man-and this man
Methodist bishop-who goes out of his
way to villify this Church and brands
it as pagan in every attribute, idola-
trous, ignorant and full of supersti-
tion.'"
Every one in Toledo supposed that
Bishop Burt would apologize for his
utterances, retract or try to prove
them. He kept eloquently silent and
said not a word. He acted just the
same as the Methodist bishops in
Minneapolis did last summer. No Won
der that intelligent and educated
Methodist laymen are joining the
Catholic Church.
1t may be said to the credit Of the
Protestant clergy of Toledo that they
refused to approve the outrageous
conduct of Bishop Burt. That exalted
dignitary is reported to have said by
way of reply to the Catholic bishop
that Catholic soldiers during the Civil
War only did their duty in dying in
defense of the Union. The Catholic
soldiers in the Revolutionary war also
did their duty while John Wesley was
preaching sedition and loyalty to
England on that account.

The FORD CAR A PARADOX.

"Its wonder to me-" said one of the big
guns of the automobile business, "that more
manufacturers do not use vanadium steel in
the construction of their cars. In my opinion
it is vanadium steel that has made the Ford
car the marvellous success that it is. It seems
like paradox that the Ford car, which costs
the least money of any one on the market, is
in reality made of the steel which is most ex-
pensive.
"Henry Ford spent 100000 in testing for
the right heat-treatment of vanadium steel,
and in determining what was the correct pro-
portion of vanadium to mix with the molten
steel, to produce that wonderful alloy, vana-
dium steel. His engineers and steel experts
solved the question of steel to perfection.
They found the exact formula for making the
best steel and also they were able to heat
treat it in the most scientific. manner, to pro.
duce most efficient results.
at is that vanadum steel which makes the
Ford almost indestructible. The other day l
read in the paper of Ford car smashing into
tree and the front axle actually wound right
around the trunk of tree, but still it didn't
break. The molecules of vanadium steel are
actually interlaced; that prevents all possible
chance of capitalization.
''In the matter of insuring safety for Ford
drivers. the Ford has certainly gone the limit
AS understand it, the parts of the Ford car
are all given just the right amount of treat
ment, according to the amount of work they
have to perform.
"Since special stress is placed upon the axle,
that is given different kind of heat treat
ment than the steel which goes into the cylin-
ders, and so on. 1t is really marvellous sight
to enter the heat treatment department of the
Ford Company's great plant in Detroit, where
this steel is being heat-treated. Every piece
of steel that goes into the car is given special
treatment; that makes the car SO strong that
many parts are eliminated from the car entire

THE TITANIC TRAGEDY,

There IS seldom disaster at sea that does
nat come home to some one in Waldo county
a, wei rs to other sections of Maine, and the
+-s-ey of the Titanic is no exception. Frank
n y.lett, the famous artist, who went down
with the ship, was second cousin and dear
friend If Dr. Adelbert M lllett of this city. He
Wa uoln IN New Bedford in 1916, served as
drummer boy in the Civil War; and at its close
srlssed Harvard and was graduated in the
class 5i 1863 He then took up newspaper
work and was war correspondent during the
Russiaa Turkish war, later succeeding Archi-
bald Forbes as correspondent of the London
Kah He distinguished himself in this work
but gave it up to study art and had won en-
1urag fame as an artist. He was to have
oain,ed four panels in the Supreme Court
room OF the new Wisconsin State Capitol, and
bal also been engaged to paint the mural dec
oratlns for the new public library in New
Bedford. The paintings were to depict scenes
Of the days when the whaling industry of
New Bedford was at its height. Mr.. Millett
had notifed the library trustees that his
sketches were complete and that he would
BRING them back from Europe on the Titanic.
The report that Charles Melville Hays, presi-
dent Of the Grand Trunk and Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway Companies, was a cousin of
Mrs Henry Lloyd of this city and New York
and Of MIR. w. H. Widdefeld of the Consumers
Fuel Co, is incorrect, but he was near friend
and it was Mrs. Lloyd's influence that gave
MN his first work in the railroad world, which
was in the passenger department of the At
artic & Pacific Railroad in St. Louis He soon
won promotion and in 1887 was appointed gen.
era. manager of the Wabash, ST. Louis & Pa
s,tc, and later became manager of the Wabash
Western Mr.. Widdeield was in the en-
rloy Of the company with Mr.. Hays. When
the consolidation of the Wabash lines took
place Mr.. Hays was made vice president
ot the company and general manager of the
lHes of the whole system. This position
he retained until his Grand Trunk appoint
ment He was director in many companies
held other important positions, and was regard
ed as one of the most successful of American
railroad officials. Mr.. Hays was a summer
resident at Cushings island and last year finish
ed building $4,000 home there and was look
ING forward to the coming season when he ex-
Fseied to be there again. 1t is one of the
most charmingly located homes on the Maine
coast and he felt pardonable pride in it. He
vas perhaps the best known of the visitors at
Luslings, and was great success as an enter
Jaiuer.
W iliam T. Stead, the famous London author
WAS the father in law of former summer
resident of Vinalhaven, his son Alfred E.
Stead, London journalist, having married
Miss May Hussey of Chicago, granddaughter
OF ne late William Kittridge of Vinalhaven.
Miss Hussey as a child and young girl spent
-ummers at the Kittredge homestead in
Nualhaven. Later she went to Paris to study
