CATHOLICS NUMBER 441,1o3
IN THIS STATE
Have 293 Priests to Minister to
Them.

The Catholic Transcript this week
publishes some interesting figures on
the population of Roman Catholics in
Connecticut. The article is as fol-
lows:
The statistics furnished by the chan
Gerry Office of the diocese of Hartford
for the Catholic directory for 1915
make interesting reading. According
to these, out of the entire population
of the state rated as 1,202,6SS, nom
Catholics are given as 761, 495, the
Catholics of Connecticut numbering
441,193. Over one-third of the state,
therefore, is Catholic. To these near
ly 100000 Catholics, 293 priests are
ministering.
The future, too, looks hopeful. Dur
ing the year there were 1894 mar
riages. The number Of baptisms was
1S,473. Four hundred and sixty one
adults were admitted to the church,
while over $4,000 infants had the wa
tiers of regeneration poured over their
heads.
The traveller passing through the
commonwealth notes the presence of
Catholic churches and the close OBJ
server makes recognition of the null
tiplying churches and institutions of
the diocese. The statistician credits
resident priests. and fifty-three with
out resident priest. ten stations and
los chapels
Catholic education has it's appeal
heard and allowed in the diocese. We
have eighty-two parishes with over
81, 500 pupils. It is cheering to learn
that in the diocese of Hartford near
ly 10000 young people are under
Catholic care. Secondary schools re-
port an encouraging patronage. In
our five academies for young ladies
there are nearly 500 students enrolled.
Our preparatory seminary is doing
splendid work with 130 students. The
religious orders have two seminaries
with a registration of over 100 levites
One hundred and six young men are
making their studies for the priest
hood in ecclesiastical seminaries, ten
in foreign countries and ninety six in
America.
The religious orders of men and wo-
men are doing their work with char
acteristic zeal and numbers. Fifty
three priests are bound by vows in
religious orders of men. Nearly 1900
women are in the converts of the do

Charitable and reformatory work
goes on apace. In our two orphan

Looks Like Winner of First Prize-J
Sheridan in Second Place,

Having played all his games in the
handicap pool tournament at the
Knights Of Columbus rooms, Police
man Charles Smith is now at the
head Of the list with 10 games won
and 6 lost. His close rival all along
was James Sheridan. but Sheridan
dropped out Of the running for first
place when he lost a game this week
that. makes it impossible for him even
to tie the man ahead of him. J. Sui
Ivan. who has played only sixteen
games and lost but three of these, may
come from behind and tie Smith, but
the latter's chances look good now for
taking first prize.

With Ponemah hall taxed to it's
seating capacity on Friday even
ing, Jake Benoit's famous rag
time Ministries gave a very enter
tanning and well balanced perform
ance, cracking many jokes and wit
ticisms on local people, and in general
gave an excellent exhibition for anna
teurs and home talent. The committee
in charge will realize an excellent
sum which will be used for the benefit
of the baseball team, under whose au-
spices the show was held. The solo1sts
made a great hit and were called time
after time for encores, to which they
responded. The jokes cracked by the
end men, being very witty, brought the
house at times to an uproar, especially
ones pulled off concerning local people.
Following the minstrel show, which
lasted about an hour, a whist of SO
tables was played with prizes going to
the winners as follows: Ladies-Ffrst
headed hat pin. Gentlemen-First
prize, silk umbrella; second prize, gold
stickpin. On sale were refreshments
which were well patronized. In gen.
eral the whole entertainment was pro-
nounced a tremendous success and
much credit must be given to John P.
Benoit manager Of the baseball team
and musical director as we'll as a So
foist in the troupe.
The stage setting was to represent
familiar scene in Tennessee when a
celebration is taking place with a min
chorus, which proved to be very ap-
propriate opening. The closing number
of the programme, We Take Our Hats
Off to You, Mr.. Wilson, probably was
the most applauded. and as the final
chorus Of the song was sung a large
American flag bearing a photo of
President Woodrow Wilson was dis
played.
The committee are indebted to the
young ladies who assisted them.
The programme rendered follows:
Opening chorus. Celebrating Day in
Tennessee, with minstrel parade.
Entire Troupe.
