When the determination Of rats was

that the loss in this country from
rats was more than $15O,000,0OO year

Besides its thefts of grain, it commits

INCLINED PLANE CONNECTS / BATH ST. SIDEWALKS. At Junction of Thayer and Wunder.
 Iieh Properties-New Grade.

 Since the new sidewalk on the Bath Street side Of the Thayer building has been in use, the effect of the new side walk grade granted there about a year ago can be seen as the ThayeT building sidewalk is from 15 to F fn- clles higher than the old sidewalk in fr@nt of tho Wundeflieh property to the north
 An incline has been made to connect the two different levels, but the new layout for the sidewalk grade for the Thayer building inclined also the side walk in front of the buifding where the WuRderlieh saloon is. When this Is raised to the new grade it will just meet the present sidewalk h front oi the barber shop property which IS also owned by MT. WInderlich.
 4 grade for the Wundeflich prop erty sidewalk was originally establish- ed in 1897 when it was owned by the late Henry Deerins, and when Judge Thayer applied for a new grade which if granted would effect half of the Wundeflich property. these owners fn- formed the public works committed through Councilman Joseph F. Will jams that they didn't care if the grade were changed so long as it made them no expense.
 The two sidewalks win continue as they are now, it is understood, and the only effect the new sidewalk grade will have as far as the Nznderlict property is concerned would be in ease those owners ever wanted to lay a new sidewalk. Then it would have to be put in at the last established grade

may do for a short period. but event : ually they will lose their grasp on the people. tired of their exactions. and wifi And it extremely difficult to hold them in the faith Of their fathers. Tn this connection wish to say that the due bnok or receipt card system prac- ticeo by some Is dangerous insntu- ton. For some reason the people are their Easter duty unless the dues of the church havef been paid. There should not be even an appearance or connection between confession and the payment of money, and while the faithful may be deceatiy urged to gen erosity regarding the stipend for mar rlages, baptisms and personal enolu- mentS, the amount suggested should be reasonable and must not be placed as 8 condition to service rendered. This refers to all parishes and to all pas -kors.
 The Italian Population.
 "The Italian population presents a special difs7culty We Ind them as "a rule either indifferent or positively hostile to religion and not anxious for inc tnstruction of their children tn the faith. They are with Us in such num- bers that it, is impossible to care for them in the Italian parishes existing, and the disposition on their part to found new ones is lacking. We have instituted plan to get more priests.
 
 of seeking out the children of Italians and inviting them to instructions. Briefly it is this:
 Public Schcpt Teachers to co.ePerate.
 with as little publicity as possible, several Catholic teachers in the public schools who are competent and willing are made assistants in the work. They are to urge the Italian children who come under their influence to attend mass and Sunday school. They are to have certain supervision over those who already do so and cooperate with the pastor of the Italian parish in ise- curing their regular attendance. In any church, they are to be invited to class formed by the teacher in the most convenient parish church.
 Once the children have become members of such a class. they are not to be interfered with by the Italian pastor until the priest whom I shall place in charge of certain cenSefs shall see fit to place them under his direction. In other words. all doors are to be opened to the italians and the disinterested and earnest work of all the priests in the diocese is sought in the effort to save the church some of the tens of thousands who come to us without instruction and with little love for priest or church.
 No Saturday and Sunday Marriages,
 This plan has been in operation in Hartford for some months with good results. The attendance at the Sunday school of the Italian parish has been increased. nearly 800 attend class in other churches and several parents have been induced to receive the sacra- ments. Your attention is called also to the regulation promulgated at the re- treat which forbids the celebration of marriages on Saturday and Sunday ex- cent bv Snacia1 r1prT7 issei1f1s xxyf1ieIl VvisI be granted only for the grayest req sons.'

Music and comedy was well taken care of in the vaudeville bill at the Davis theatre on Thursday, when the nid-week change fin the bill was made. Marius and CIemence, singers and mu- sical entertainers, kept the big house bers and their attractive vocal seIec- tions. Another nunn1er in which the violin Is used in an effective way to give pleasure to those present is that by little Theresa Rose. who is also a dainty singing comedienne. Comedy with the piano is the offering of Smith and Harvey. whose act is a neat one and gets a. nice hand.
