The Temperance Annual.


Annual published in Washington,
d. c., has just come to our table.
1t is very attractive in appear
ance, and the interesting and in-
structive matter coming this
issue gives evidence of it's having
been prepared by some strong
temperance workers. From its
columns we gleau the following:
1.-The Plain Truth. THE re-
sponslbility for whisky-wrecked
lives, and all the attending evils
of intemperance, rests primarily
upon those who vote for licensed
hell-holes of temptation and sure
destruction.
ut Never Pays. THE saloon
may bring large revenue to a
town or community, but in the
end it costs more money alone,
to say nothing of the sorrow,
suffering, and wrecked lives,
than 1t pays into the town or
commu unity treasury.
why the Liquor Traffic Still
Exists IN America. An eX-gov-
ernor accounts for the existence
of the liquo traffic in America in
a most masterly treatise on this
important subject. 4e cites five
reasons: 1.-The Use of Intoxicat-
ing Liquors Racial Evil" Our
Foreign Population;" 1.-The Fed
eral Excise Tax" 'Our ALL
Absorbing, All-Consumlng Love
of Money" "The Colossal Pow
er of the Traffic"
"a Physicians Experience. y
A pitiful story of one young man
to illustrate the hundreds of sim
liar cases that had come into his
personal experience. where chill
dren had acquired ruinous
craving for liquor through a
moderated drinking fathers" in
fuence.
From Lawyers Diary. -
Many instances given where
crime was the direct result of the
influence of liquor. Out of 1000
criminal cases, over 5000 origi-
mated from drunkenness alone.
The greater portion of the re-
mainder could be traced, either
directly or indirectly, to this
great source of crime. Out Of
fifty-six cases Of homicide, forty
three were caused by the mad
dening influence of strong drink.
"The Aim of Prohibition. -
To disarm the murderer; to wrest
the knife from the hand of the
would-be suicide; to protect the
wife from the brutal blows of a
drunken husband; to wipe the
tears Of sorrow from the cheek
of the mother who mOurns over
the frailtles of wayward son; to
destroy the grog-shop, and by
its destruction prevent it's attend
ant evils, pauperism and crime;
to promote temperance, sobriety,
and their every day companions,
industry and morality.
Questions for Voters.-Why
demand a '.sane fourth of july"
and then license traffic that
kills thousands? Why quaran-
tine infectious diseases, and
license a saloon which menaces
every home in the land? Why,

VERDICT OF S7,00o
 FOR w. ]. MURPHY'S DEATH New Haven Jury Awarded $10,0oo-
 Judge Cut 1t to $7,o0o.

The principle of contributory negli- gence figured in the decision of the jury in New Haven which Saturday night gave verdict of s10,000 against the New York. New Haven & Hart ford Railroad Co.,, in favor of John Murphy, administrator of the estate of his son, William J. Murphy. who was killed while employed as a brakeman. The trial was in the federal court and the case was brought under the federal employers liability law. Dam ages of $25,00O were asked by Donald G. Perkins. attorney for the adminis- trator.
 The brakeman was fatally hurt in the collision of a wrecking train with a freat train ahead, between Norwich and Jewett City, Conn. The jury found in the first place for the administrator in the sum of s15,000 and then re- duced the amount by $5,000 on the ground that there had been contribu- tory negligence.
 Judge Meyer of New York, who pre- sided, then reduced the award to $7,000. The railroad company has 30 days in which to appeal, which would be to the suSreme court of the United States.
 It is believed that this verdict is one of the first to be given under the federal employers liability law since the decision of the supreme court last February upholding it's constitution ality

 Treanor and to Moosup Parishioners

The new rector of St. Patrick's church, Rev. John H. Frederick, ad- dressed his people at the different masses Sunday. Having read the epis- tie, Eph. Y. 15-21. and the gospel, John iv. 56-4S. for the day. the 20th Sunday after Pentecost. Father Broderick stat ed to the congregation that the Right Rev. Bishop Milan had appointed him head of the parish. It was, he said with strange emotions that he found himself again in the pulpit where he had preached when a young priest 37 years before He was as one who had been on long journey, had had varied experiences and made new friends, coming back after the lapse of years, to be welcomed by old friends and, he hoped, to merit a welcome from new ones.
 It was not going to be an easy task, he was aware, to fill the place of so admirable priest and so able an ad ministrator as Rev. Father TreanOr; but with Gods help he was resolved to do his best and he asked the fervent prayers of his people for his success. reminding them that without Gods aid and grace it is impossible to accom- plish anything.
 Referring to his long pastorate in Moosup, Father Frederick declared with earnestness that whatever his work there. it's success had been large ly due to the splendid zeal. so-opera- ton of the parishioners, which he took pleasure in thus publicly acknowledg- ing.
 Tn a manner marked by gentleness vet decision the ne wrector explained that for the present at least there would he no change in the parish rou- tine. He made the customary an nouncements and read the circular let ter from Bishop Milan fixing the third Sunday of October as the date of the diocesan collection for St. Agnes home for dependent infants.
 Father Frederick impressed his hear CTS as certain to prove the best possi- ble head for the big and important parish of Norwich. He comes of L family which has given four priests tc the church, he is scholarly. of ripe l judgment. and his advent in Norwich being in the nature of a home coming 1 he has the advantage of an acouaint- | anceship with the parish and its con- | ditions which must go a long way | toward advancing his work. He has | preached so many wears in Frercr 1 that his nuipit manner has notable suavity and noIish and he speaks witf | ease and confidence. St Patrick's neo-
 ple realized on Sunday that theil bishop had sent them a pre- eminent1y l worthy leader

 One side of the apple had the dis- tinctiye skin and coloring of the greening, and the other half was pure russet, The line around the apple through core, stem and biemme, and dividing 1t almost exactly into halves, was nearly as straight and regular as if marked out with & straight edge.

Little Hope of Saving the John B. DaIIas--Men Taken Off in Brooches Buoy.

There seemed little prospect Sunday of saving the 91-ton New York steam CT John B. Dallas, which ran ashore during the southwesterly gale last night east of Quonochontaug life sav- ing station. The vessel was loaded with stove coal from New York for Block Island and the pounding in the sea opened her seams. She was run ashore to prevent her laundering.
 Captain Becl1man, his crew of three and passenger, White Peterson, of New London, were taken off in the brooches buoy by the Quonochontaug life savers. Within two hours after the vessel was first sighted in the breakers by surfman the life savers had line across her. They had to take their apparatus two miles along the beach and cross wide creek Il Is believed that part of the cargo can be saved.

 Ball at the Opening Game.

One of the unique experiences in attending the worlds series of base ball games was that enjoyed by Alex ander Jordan, who has a tale to tell that will hardly be duplicated.
 With Mrs. Jordan, he was about to attend the opening game in New York, and he approached the entrance a foul fly came curving over the fence directly at him. A hundred hands reached for the precious souvenir, but the ball settled securely in the hands of the Norwich man who made the catch sure by clinging to the horsehide and now he has the trophy to remind him of one time when fate threw things his way.
