Heard by Large Assemblaee in St
 Johns Church Sunday Evening.

St. Johns church was crowded Sun day evening, when the eloquent Jesuit preacher, Rev. Louis Lalande. of Montreal, delivered an inspiring lec- ture in French on Louis Venillot, whose centenary was recently cele brated not alone in Paris but in Rome and in America. Venillot, who was the son of a poor cooper, left home when but 13. going to Paris. In spite of his megare educational advantages he studied and worked, eventually be- coming editor of LUnivers, as well as publisher of excellent works on pol itics. literature science. etc. He was ever a loyal champion of the Cath ollie church and his ability won the commendation of enemies as we'll as friends.
 The lecturer pictured Venillot as an inspiration to the workingman and the poor boy, not alone by reason of his ambition and perseverance but because of the high Catholic ideals which he ever maintained.
 Clergymen from other parishes who attended the lecture were Rev. Fath- CTS J. J. Papillon and Lemieux of Wilimantic. U. O. Bellerose and Philip Massicott, Taftville, R. P Morrissey and Metivier, Voluntown, and J. c. Mathieu, Wauregan.- The pastor, Rev. William A. keefe, presided at the lec- ,ture

The oVerseer or the poor is an elective officer and that official receives an annual appropr1a- non for the charity department, and is re,ftiired to make report of his steward hhfp direct to the annual financial own meeting not to the town coun- nil the members of which are elected by the people annually. as IS the over Eeer of the poor. All town counclls, past and present, have given closer In- spection and more criticism to the bills pf the overseer of the poor than any others that are submitted for payment. H seems to have been the custom that iastead of the overseer or the poor drawing from his appropriation 10 meet current expense. he has submitted the bills to the council for examination and snproyal and it is up to the councli to vote that the bills be paid or heao up for investigation. At the regular meeting of the town council Monday, while there was free discussion of matters wholly within the province Of the overseer of the poor, Counc1lman Maurice W. Flynn suggested that the council was meddling With matter that did not concern that oooy. Other nounciimen coincided and Councilman William Culley declared that the town council ought not to be bothered ev- cry month by the bills sof the overseer 6 the poor, as 1t took time that ahould be given to business within the jurisdiction of the council
 The matter of toilet accommodations ,t Watch Hill has become a serious 1roblem and Daniel Larkin appeared before the council to see if something could not be done for the satisfactory eolutton of the problem.

He said there was an ays liable site on land owned by the Waas.h Hill fire district. and he be- Heved that concerted effort of the town council, the trolley company and oth- CTS interested in the public WeHare could prevail upon the park commls- siouers to furnish a suitable location.
 Councilman Charles B. Thomas, who
 with Councilman Haswen acted as a committee on behalf of the council. stated that the matter had been taken up with the park commissioners and the cfairsnan that the commissioners would net have anything to do with the location of public toilets at Watch Hfll

London county. This organization Is an auxiliary of the Catholic Total Ab- stinence union of Connecticut and is named for the late Bishop Michael Tierney, who administered the total abstinence pledge to children at the time of their confirmation. Another adjunct is the Tierney league, com- posed of girls. The object is the ad- vancement and perpetuation of the Catholic total abstinence movement.
 The formation of a temperance cadet society in Pawcatuck will probably re- suit in the reorganization of the St. Michaels Total Abstinence society," which disbanded about three years ago. Father Neale was about to reor- ganize the society when he was trans ferred to Meriden. Several years ago St. MicheaPs society of Pawcatuck was among the leading total abstinence societies of the Catholic Total Absti- hence union of Connecticut.
