FOUGHT IN 1887 WAR.
History of Catholics in Connecticut Begins With Records of Pequot Con- fiict-Work of Vicar General Thomas s. Duggan.


 The early days of Catholics in Con- necticut are graphically reeounted in a history of the diocese of Hartford contained in the new Catholic ency- clOpedia. The rapid rise of the see to it's present day important position in the community is reviewed and the general scope and influence of the ec- clesiastical, educational and charitable work of the diocese treated at length. Interesting statistics have been com piled by the author, Very Rev. Thomas s. Duggan editor of the Catholic Transcript. Of special interest at this time is it's account Of the death of Rt. Rev. Bernard O'Reilly, second bishop of the diocese who went down with the Pacific on it's return trip from Europe on Jan. 23, 1856 The follow ing excerpts are from it's pages
 "The diocese If Hartford was es tablished by Gregory XVI, Sept. IS, 1S43. When erected it embraced the states of Connecticut and Rhode Isl- and As Providence was the most con siderable city, the bishop of Hartford resided there until 1872, when a new sec was erecteS As now constituted, tho diocese of Hartford is co-extenslve with the state of Connecticut. It has an area of about five thousand square miles and a Catholic population of 275001, or enc third of the total popu- lation of Connecticut
 The Vestiges of Catholic travellers and sojourners in the territory now embraced by the diocese of Hartford are numerous; Irish immigrants were scattered throughout the colony and they rendered notable service during the Pequot war of 1637. Their move- ments are ehronicled in the governor ship of Theophilus Eaton Q639-5D. Their numbers became considerably augmented during the century which followed In the War of Independence they took an important part, but they were deprived of the cancellations of their religion. Throughout the Colo nial period Spanish, Portuguese and French sailors and adventures land ed at New London and the other ports of the state. and some remained to spend their lives and lose their faith among those by whom the Catholic church was hated or feared. In the year 175e four hundred Acadians were scattered throughout the state. but, bereft of priests and plunged into a hostile atmosphere, they and their de- seendants made shiDwFeck of the faith so much cherished by their ancestors. Now and again priesfs visited Con nectieut, coming either as enissaries or chaplains to the French troops but they took no part in the upbuilding of the future diocese. The attitude of the white settlers was decidedly hostile to the Catholic church, and the few con- fessoFs who peFsevered are lost in oblivion. Bishop Cheverus of Boston QS1023) and Bishop Fenwick, his successor made occasional missionary journeys to Connecticut. At the re- quest of the latter the Rev. R. D, Weodley of Providence visited and ministeTed to the Catholics of the sec ton during the earlier months of 1928" MISC $PTn

TRADE COURT OPENS
New York Tribunal Revived After
Lapse Of II Years.
Costly Trials Are EradIeated-Nc
Jury. or Lawyer Required and
Appeal From Decisions Of Ar
bltrators Not Permitted.

New York.-The business mems
court OF honor, a tribunal without
Judge. lawyer or jury, yet recognized
by the laws Of the state. has been re-
vived In New York after lapse Of II
years. The court is conducted by the
chamber Of commerce to settle dis
putes among merchants, and, so far
as is known here, there is no other
court like It in the world.
In 1853 the business mems court
was established and for more than a
century merchants adjusted their dis
putes there. In 1874 the Legislature
voted a salary Of $4,000 a year to
the Official arbitrator Of the court, and
when this salary was discontinued in
1895 the body passed out OF exist
ence. Several months ago a move
ment was begun looking to the re-
establishment OF the tribunal, with
the result that several cases have just
been heard before IT,
To try the average case requires an
expenditure OF only $50 or $50, COM
pared with the heavy expenses Of
trials In the regularly constituted
courts OF the state This court is in
charge of the chamber of commences
committee on arbitration The COM
mittee selects from the membership
of the chamber a list Of men qualified
to serve as arbitrators of disputes,
who are sworn In by justice Of the
supreme court.

committee for settlement the dis.
putants are permitted to select the

There are no appeals from the
court, II has no means OF enforcing
its DEGREES, relying upon the fact that
merchants will not injure their repu.
tation by repudiating their written
agreement to accept the rulings.
In addition to the lessening Of ex-
penses and saving of time, II is said
that the court is enabled to render
decisions which are generally salts

LAD is BURIED UNDER SNOW
Men of TWO Villages Unite In Digging
Out Boy and Finally Rescue
Him.

Elko, Cal.-Although he was buried
fer several hours beneath tons OF
snow, the small son of Dan Ward of
arbridge, was rescued alive after
hours Of digging by the entire popn-
ace Of Jarbridge and Paviak villages.
The avalanche OF snow came down
the canyon between the two towns
without warning. The little fellow
was playing on the hillside and heard
TIE roar of the snow as 1t started far
above him. Instinct told him TO con-
ceal himself and he dropped down be-
meath huge bowlder. The snow
passed over him. filling the canyon
and completely burying him.
A small aperture was left ON the
rock and this enabled the lad to get
air and he was located by his cries.
He was uninjured.
