in Response to Cali for All
to Turn Out.
SPECIAL SERMONS GIVEN

Effort 20 Awaken Interest
Among Indifferent.

approximately $4,000 people, exclus-
i've Of those attending the masses in
the various Catholic churches, partici-
mated IN the religious observance OF
Go 10 Church Sunday yesterday.
The campaign conducted by the
churches. the public and the news
papers drew out in large numbers the
regular churchgoers. the nO1-church-
zoers. the Indifferent and occasional
churchgoer. in such numbers as 10 tax
the capacity OF every house OF worship.
The pastors Of the various conEre-
cations estimate that fully one-half
again as many were in attendance at
the services yesterday as attend regu-
larry.
The movement Is looked upon as a
great triumph for the church and viii
have q permanent effect, as many Of
those IN the audiences yesterday are
people that can be reached through the
proper channels when once their in
terest Is aroused. 4 glance AZ the
conversations revealed the fact that
there we're many faces there that had
not been seen inside a church for
years.
In q number OF the churches the ser
mons were addressed TO the occasional
churchgoer, but the general trend Of
sermons was that although this was
z special Go 70 Church Sunday cam
paign- the movement should be an
every Sunday ore and that this should
be the beginning OF an effort on the
part Of every one TO attend church
every Sunday
Good Effect Seen.
The priests IN the Catholic churches
mentioned in their sermons the Co 10
Church movement and while they did
not in any way discourage the cam
paign they did not participate in it
10 the same extent as other churches
because Of the fact that the people OF
the Catholic faith as a rule are strict

little difference was noted in the con.
gregations yesterday.
That the movement had a salutary
effect was demonstrated by the fact
that In a number OF the church acces-
sions were made and people express
ed desire TO continue the practice
by some. long forgotten or neglected.
The ministers feel that II but one per-
son was brought to see the error of
his ways the movement has been a tri-
umph. There is 4 probability that the
Co 20 Church movement will be an
nual one. increasing in interest with
the years.

WATER IN COAL MINES.
Pumping II Out Costs a Big Pile Of
Money Every Year.

Money Every Year.
1t costs quite n bit of money to pump
1,OOO.OOO.OOO tons OF water ont OF tie
anthracite mines OF Pennsylvania every
year. but it must be done or there
could be no mines. In times past. col
lieries were abandoned because Of in
ability TO cope with the water flowing
into them. but more and more pumps.
some OF them costing $4,000 and S4O.-
coo each. have been installed. and the
enormous amount of work they do is
all that enables the operators to keep
open the mines
The calculation as to the amount of
water handled in this way is simple
The output OF the mines is n little lass
than 1o.OO00Oo tons a year. The nv-
erage amount OF water pumped Is about
fifteen tons for every ton OF coal pro-
duced. The cost OF this is one OF the
most important elements in the In
creased cost of mining. AS the richer
and more accessible veins have been
exhausted. shafts have been sunk
deeper and the volume OF water to be
pumped has increased rapidly.
The pipes. OF which there are thou
sands of miles in the mines. wear out
quickly because the sulphur in the
mine water eats into the iron like an
acid. This destructive quality prohib-
its the use of the water in the boilers
that generate steam at the collieries.
and the result is that. when there Is
drought. the companies often are oblig
ed TO haul water TO the mines in tank
cars from many miles away.-New
York Post.
