 IreIand's Apostle
Eloquent Sermons by Visiting Priests at St. Augustine's
 and St. Peters

Special observance of the feast of St. Patrick, March IT, was held in all Catholic churches yesterday. Sermons appropriate to the day were preached at all masses.
 At St. Augustine's church last even- ing the vesper services, postponed from f to 7:30 were marked by the sermon of Rev. Father Joseph Calla- han, of the Congregation of the Holy Ghost. The preacher spoke eloquent ly of the Irish peoples struggles to preserve the faith through centuries of oppression. Besides the regular vesper music, selections of Irish music were played by Prof. Brisebois.
 At St. Peters church the Rev. Elan nery, of Hazardville, delivered a lec- ture last evening. His subject was .'The Victory of Our Faith" Father Flannery was connected with the Con- necticut apostolate, in Milford, for several years, and he became well known throughout this city for the mission work of the apostolate.
 Father Flannery depicted the con. dition of Ireland before the coming of St. Patrick, then dwelt upon the work of the young apostle among the Irish. He told of the preservation of the documents of history and learning through the Catholic universities of Ireland down through the centuries, of the persistent persecution of the Irish, and the determined efforts of oppressors to tear from the Irish people their heritage of religion.
 Then Father Flannery told of the scattering of the Irish people to all parts of the world, bearing with them the priceless heritage of their faith to the remotest corners of the earth. IT. spoke with especial n'oqu- ace of

Mayors Wife An Anti.
Heads Movement to Fight
 Votes for Women Cause
Oanbury News)


 Mrs. N. Burton Rogers, wife of the mayor, is a leader in a movement to launch in Danbury an anti-suffragist organization, the purposes of which will be to vigorously fight the pro. Tess of the advocates of woman's 8 rights It is significant that the mayor himself is strong devotee of the equal suffrage cause.
 '-The mayor believes women are Untitled to vote the same as men, but I think differently said Mrs. Rog- CTS today. "There has been organiz- ed a state anti-suffragist league, with headquarters in Hartford, and I am entirely in sympathy with its objects. Other women of Danbury are also in- .erested in the league and we pro- pose to start a local organization here within a short time.
 There is a very strong feeling that the time has not yet come for .uni- versal suffrage. Women and children it is true, have many wrongs to be righted, but we do not believe that the greatest good can be accomplished by universal suffrage.
 We have several prospective mem berS in this city and we are confident that we shall be. able to start a local here within short time. We shall cooperate with the state league in every way possible"
 Mrs. Rogers showed a circular that has just been issued by the new state association explaining it's objects and the provisions for membership. It is 2s follows:
 The Connecticut Association Op- posed to Woman Suffrage has been organized and now asks the support of those women who signed the pc tition against woman suffrage which was presented to the last state legis- lature, as well as otherS-men and woInen-interested in the cause.
 The purpose of the organization is opposition to further extension of wo- mans suffrage and to give all people in all classes of society the Opportun- ity to protest against it by enrollrn ent under the following membership: Ac- tive, associate and sustaining.
 Men and women may become &C., tive members by sending as dues s1 with their name and address to the state treasurer. Mrs. Albert S. Cook of No 46 Sycamore street, Hartford Associate membership may be obtain ed by sending name and address tC Mrs. Charles H. Lawrence of Hart ford. Sustaining membership may be obtained by sending any amount ot money to the treasurer.
 '-Literture relative to the subject may be obtained from Mrs. Lucius F. Robinson, of No. 45 Prospect ave with, of No 1049 Prospect avenue, ol Mrs. Call Munsill, of No. 4 Wethers- field avenue, Hartford.'
 Mrs Rogers explained that as sooT as the local branch is organized of ficers including a treasurer will be elected. so that funds may be received here and literature distributed.

Can you pour a liquid from a

out splitting most of the contents

easily. The end of q straight stick

is poured and the edge of the
tumbler or cup 10 simply held
against the rod and the liquid al
lowed to trickie down 1t into what

remains the trick can be done
and the hands saved from being
