 Was it true patriotism or spirit of some other nature ?-is the question which has been going the rounds of Newtown Street, Friday, when it was found early in the morning that the three large new signs which had been placed on the previously sawed off stump of the old Liberty pole by Landlord Hale of the Inn for the use of passing automobiles. The general sentiment prevails that Patriotism is not dead in NewtOWn, and the only move now and a quick one it should be with the shining example of w. T. Cole, Dr. Charles H. Peck of New York who has generously shown his never waning esteem for his native town and the few good words from John J. Northrop with his extended SuDScnlptlOn wherein ne says, IL cer- tainly is a shame and blot on the fame of old Newtown, to allow this grand old landmark to be obliterated. The majority want a flag pole and the only way to do is to get together and have one in place, rather than a sign post situated in position where it mars the beauty of everything. II is too bad to have had it happen that the signs were removed. Don't leave everything to the First Selectman, he has troubles enough of his own espe- cially since the severe damage to the roads this spring. There are men enough left in town to take this mat ter up and come to some conclusion for instance The Mems club.

BISHOP NILAN'S
 EASTER LETTER
Announces Annual Collec- tion for Diocesan Chari- ties and St. Thomas Sem mary.

Right Rev. Bishop Milan has sen1 out the following letter to be read in all the churches of the Hartford diocese tomorrow:
 EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE.
 Hartford, Conn.
 March g, 1912. Dear Father:
 Kindly announce to your people ths Easter Collection to be taken up on Sunday, April 7th. As explained last year, it was the intention to devote the proceeds of this collection exclu- sively to diocesan charities. but as the expense of maintenance of St. Thomas Seminary exceeds the re- ceipts from students, it was found necessary to divert porticu Of the collection to make up the deficit at the Seminary. It is hoped this year and in future to use the entire Eas- ter collection for the benefit of the institutions of charity, particularly those which care for children.
 The work of protecting dependent children, already auspiciously begun. we expect to so extend that, ai- though it may not be possible to place every case under Catholic care at least no Catholic dependent will De deprived of religious instruction. To accomplish this result we depend largely on the generosity of the Eas- ter offering, as cases for which pro- vision is not already made must be supported at diocesan expense under the direction of the diocesan board.
 With the opening of St. Agnes Home a new form of charity will claim our sympathy and support. The eloquent approval in the shape of contributions in favor of this project is very gratifying. Although the building is not yet begun, about one third of the amount required is aI- ready at hand and we still hope that our wish to open the building free of debt will be realized; this generous response to our appeal has inspired confidence enough to begin the con- struction immediately. The enthusi- asm in favor of this charity, it will be noticed, extends to all classes and conditions It is such enthusiasm specially blessed by God that has reared and maintains all our houses of religion and charity, and has made them what they are, the memorial to no man, but a peoples gift to God. homes for the distressed of every com may enter without apology ard, if need be, remain without pay.
 I take this opportunity to thank those who have contributed to ths building fund of St. Anges' Home hope that while the building is in process or cOnSLrucIlOH, HI1uy oLheFS may initiate their example, so that on the completion of the home. t1s problem of maintenance may be less embarrassing Those wishing to con. tribute any sum may do so through their respective pastors or send their contributions by registered mail di- rect to the Bishop. who assures them that they will never be forgotten in his prayers and in the Holy Sacrifice. Yours sincerely.
 JOHN JOSEPH MILAN
 Bishop Of Hartford.

STRIKE CHILDREN
 WAVE GREETINGS
 TO BRlDCEPORTERS
Carloads of Joyous Young
 sters Pass Through City :
 on Homeward Journey

Two hundred and forty children, sons and daughters of the Lawrence strikers, made up a joyous excursion that passed through Bridgeport at 9:21 this morning on the express from New York passing through the city and over the Naugatuck division. The youngsters thronged to the train plat forms, surged about the gates and kept the trainmen constantly on the alert for fear they would meet with injury on their homeward journey.
 Though the children's return trip had not been announced to this city. 1t took but a moment for the east bound platform to fill up with inter ested spectators, and the little folks took keen delight in waving salute to the onlOokers.
 ( The strains of "Star Spangled Ban ner'' swept through the Grand Gen. tral Station as thousands of eomnut- CTS emerged from their trains at O clock, today, swelling into a chorus that reverberated from the natural sounding board formed by the angles and pillars of the temporary structure and formed a melody that made all stop and listen. The singers were 24O children, happy, ,contented, their faces scrubbed to picturesquely1 healthy glow while their childish trebles rose and fell to the music of the national anthem.
 They were the children of the strike" returning from their homes of refuge in New York and Philadelphia, to be reunited with their parents In Lawrence, Mass. It was the most pie turesque spectacle the metropolis has gazed upon in many months and com muters took a chance" on being late to watch the children who took part in a history-making industrial Strug- gle.
 Two special cars had been provided and the boys and girls, some of them so small they could hardly toddle, went back home, plainly benefited by their willing exile. Good food s La ana n q them and they were much changed from the ragged, careworn premature ly aged children who came here more than a month ago.
 Their temporary parents" had fur nished all of them with new clothing, of bright hues and all were laden down with great bundles of other clothes, toys and bags and baskets of lunch Happiness was the keynote of their utterances and mingled with It were expressions of unselfishness as many displayed unusued new toys which they declared were for broth CTS and sisters who had been kept at home where such things were seldom if ever seen.
 They also carried flowers sent to the Lawrence strike headquarters there by sympathizers with the cause.
 One pathetic note marred the leav- ing. Six girls, who had been staying over in Jersey City, reached the train shed just in time to see the train with their companions pulling out for Bos- ton. A mighty vail was set up and even the assurance that they would go forward on a later train failed to cheer them for some time. The chll- dren were accompanied to Lawrence by six women especially delegated to care for them enrOute.
