CHARLES H. GILLETTE
Old Housatonic Engineer Who Died in
 Joliet, Last Week.

Old Housatonic Engineer Who Died in
 Joliet, Last Week.
 Charles Hawkins Gillette, reference to whose death at his home in Joliet, H., on March ', was made in The News last week, was born in this town September 22, 1844, son of the late Charles Gillette. He attended the public schools until he was 9 years of age, when he went to Bridgeport and took position in the railroad shops. Shortly afteTward he became a lOcOmo- tive fireman on the old HousatOnic rail road and was soon promoted 10 the posi- tion of engineer.
 He was engaged OH the Housatonic under the superintendencies of George Hunt and Hugh w. Franklin.
 About 40 years ago he left Canaan and went to Buffalo as engineer, run ming into the West, and after a few years removed to Manistee, Mich. where he had charge of the city water works, and about 22 years ago was per suaded to go to Joliet and engage again as locomotive engineer, where he re. mained until his death, which resulted from paralytic stroke.
 The Joliet Times says: 'He was one of the oldest and best known engineers on the E. J. S5 E. railroad; and was greatly beloved by all the men with whom he was associated. He was de- scended directly from Revolutionary stock his great great grandfather Jonathan Gillette, 1st, serving as a lieutenant in the Colonial army. His great grandfather, Jonathan Gillette 2d, also enlisted, at the age of IS years, and was taken prisoner and confined in the old historic Sugar House prison at New York city. MT. Gillette was a kindly and genial man and member of the Central Presbyterian church.
 Besides his brothers and sisters, Almerin of Canaan, William of Falls Village, Mrs. Kate E. Brown and Mrs. s. c. Beckley of Canaan, he is survived by a widow, who was Miss Abbie Hawes, whom he married ill Housa- tonic, Mass, ill 1869; three daughters, Mrs. Frank H. Carson and Mrs. George w. Robson, of Joliet, and Mrs. William F. Mack, of Southern Pines, N. C., and five grandchildren, Helen and Mildred Carson, Ruth and Perla Robson, and Robert Mack.

Camp Fire Notes,

X the recent Council Fire meeting Anna Abbu, Madeleine Coe and Mar guerite Winfield were made Wood Gatherers and were presented with the pretty silver rings symbolic of that degree. Singing, exercises in rythm, Folk dancing, athletic games and Il short lesson in one masterpiece each of the five greatest Italian artists made up the evening program.
 The new group of fourteen Italian girls is making splendid progress in sewing under the guardianship of Mrs. John Adam and Mrs. A. F. Freeman Each member took home to show her mother, at the end of their last meet ing, pretty, bright colored work bag made and embroidered with her own initials hy tie girl herself. These bags are to he supplied, each, with thimble, alarming ball, scissors, etc.
 The calisthenic class is at present exercising with dumbDells and playing athletic games. Each girl is to have a gymnasium suit that she may work with more freedom ana ease.
 Most of the members of the Camp Fire are now in possession of the health bead which is awarded as an honor for Knowing five Folk Dance. Five Folk songs are now to be learned in three parts. These will entit,e each girl to an honor The Camp Fire has recently .Iur, hased thirty song books contain ing the music of the very best cOmpos- CTS, such as Beethoven, Hayden, Mozart, etc. The Camp Fire is scnd- ing for , reproductions of masterpiece ot art for each girl to have in her hands while tue study is in progress.
 The appreciation of music will be the next important work. The guard ians have concentrated on physical ex. ercise and cultural subjects for this seasons work and the girls are showing a fine appreciation and interest in it.
 When Dr. Parker gave her lecture on the Story of Life in Town Hall, the Camp Fire attended en masse. After the talk the girls gathered about Dr. Parker giving her an enthusiastic vote of thanks for the talk wh ch they thoroughly appreciated and the hear ing of which gave to each an additional required honor. They were so pleased with Dr. Parker that she promised to return and talk to them again some afternoon. She added that if it were desired, she would be glad to address the Scouts and other boys ill the eve- ming of the same day.
 Through the kindness of the North Canaan Visiting Nurse Association, Miss SaYgers has taken over the pre- paration of the Camp Fire Girls in their numerous health requirements. This gives the girls a much better class of instruction than could be presented by the guardians and leaves them more time for work with the girls for which they are better qualified. The girls go individually to the nurse and receive private instruction from her. When Miss Saygers is satisfied with her pupils work, she signs a certificate stating that that particular girl is qualified to receive a certain honor. This certificate presented to the guar dian of the Camp Fire entities the girl to health bead.

Canaan Restauranter in Florida Invests
 in a Ford Machine.

Ovid P. Gillette, now in Florida, has enrolled himself ill the ranks of the autOmobilists. A short time ago The News printed letter from Ovid relat- ing his experience as passenger in q flying boat and his sensations while sailing through the air, up among the clouds. It appears that tine sensation was so pleasing that he has become a slave to the flying habit, and as the fly. ing boat is beyond him he has lone the next best thing and provided for the qualification of this newly acquired passion for flying by purchasing Ford auto. In this machire he purposes to fly from Florida to Canaan when he gets ready to come home, and while he vas unable to induce Mrs. Gillette to go mp in the flying boat with him, he hopes to persuade her to accompany him on his northern flight.

 House and Two Earns.

Early Saturday evening. a fire broke out ill Mill River, i'll the town of New Marlboro. the bright reflection of which was seen on the sky, from this village. Information by telephone elicited the information that four buildings were OH fire-the store owned by Captain W. G. Kair, with barns adjoining. and the fine residence of Edward Wheeler, with another barn.
 The fire star ed in Captain Kair's $ barn, in some uuL Il )Wn mauuer. anal as Mill River has no means of fire pro- tect ton, Il four of the buildings We're totally de troyed. though most of the contents of the Wheeler house were re mo yed allu saved, as was also the gov ernment property, mail, etc., in the store, witch was also the poStoffice.
 Captain Kair's loss is something over 5000, partially covered by insurance. He ran a general merchandise store and generally carried stock valued at about $6, 900. The Wheeler house was said to be valued at abOnt $3. 800. The exact figures of loss and insurance have nDt yet been obtained, but it is thought the loss will be about $l ,, ,OO0.
 The men of the village worked valiantly in bucket brigades and sue ceeded in saving the house of Edward Stanton, which stands close to the site of the Wheeler place..
 Captain Kair has located the post office ill the unoccupied drug store where he is already stocking that store with groceries and merchandise, and will continue in business as before. R. J.

STATE HAS 44t,1s3 CATHOLICS
Official Figures Give United States ia-
 3Oe,3lO of That Faith.

There are All. .I93 Catholics in Cen necticut and lG,309,3l0 Catholics in the United States, according to the ad- vance sheets of ''The Official Catholic Directory" published and copyrighted by P. J. Remedy x Sons, of New York. Connecticut stands thirteenth in tlAa point of Catholic population in 1jhe United States.
 The increase n the number of Cath olics during the yenr t9tt amounts to 241,325. Forty.four dioceses report increases in the Catholic population, forty archdiocese and dioceses made no change in the population figures and fifteen diocrses show decreases, ui- though three of the fifteen showing decreases have given ID territory for ths establishment of the two new di0eesc~ of Fl Paso anal >ipUkaue.
 Statisticians quoting Catholic sta tistirs usually deiuct l5 per cent. for children and infants, claiming Lhgt only communicants should be coumSed. The impression ts created, therefore. that Catholic statistics are exaggerated The editor of the Directory" Joseph Fl. Meier, who has compiled the past ten issues of The Official Catholic Directory" claims that instead of be- ing overestimated, the Catholic sta tistics are underestimated and that the figure 16, ,309, BIO is very conservative. According to Mir Meier, at least 10 par cent. ought to be added for floating" Catholic population of which no nsco7H can be kept.
 In ten years there has been sn in- crease of 3,84G, 517 in the number of Catholics and in twenty years there has been an increase of 7,23i ,asS American Catholics, according to tue "Directory" publishers.
 "The Official Catholic Directory bristles with interesting facts and fig ures, and looking over the advance sheets of 1915 issue it is found thE1 there are 1s, 994 Catholic clergymen in the United States. Of these, ld0,00 are secular clcrgymen and 4,9S6 are priests of religious orders. Tho in- crease in the number of priests during the past year is shown to be 42G.

seeehan Worlds High st Tenor.

With the coming of the Boston Eng. fish Opera Company 10 the Mahaiwe Theatre, Great Harrington tonight, Thursday, March Is in the memmoti production of Verdi's beautiful opera I'll TrovatOre" has been revived dis cussion as to which of the notable singers possesses the greatest voice. Caruso. the star of the Metropolitan Opera House, has succeeded CaIHpanini, Tamago and DeReszke. In the field of English Grand Opera, Joseph F. Shee- han, still stands unrivalled.
 In a recent article on high c tenors, the American is placed at the head of the worlds greatest artists with respect to altitude. Sheehan, never dodges a high c in a composers score and in such operas as I'll Trovatore" and Faust" he comes out with the high c on several occasions, with such ease as to make one marvel. In William Tell, 7" he comes out with fine high D, which is the highest note required of a tenor in any grand opera role.

Flag Up-side Down.

"Hello Is this the Hotel Garde |? Yes |? We'll, this is Mayor Rice talk ing. AS went by the hotel this morn ing I noticed the flag on the roof was upside down and at half-mast. Are you in distress and need help? could send down some of the militia, or a couple of policemen, or a few members of the fire department. What, you don't need any help We'll, let me know if you do."
 The above is only one of the many telephone calls which were received at the Hotel Garde, Thursday morning when it was seen that the American flag on the roof was at half-ma and upside down, says the New Haven Union. Every one that telephoned gave the name of some prominent New Haven man, and the phone girl was kept busy answering them. It was later found that one of the employees had been sent to the roof with the flag and evidently did not know the right way to pull it up. This is the third time that the same thing has occurred at the Garde, and many people about the city feel that the management should be more careful in this respect.

 Friday afternoon an automobile diiven at a terrific rate of speed, went through Canaan coming from the east and turning the corner at the Mcrcan- tile COmpany's store, into Railroad street without slackening speed. Two men were in the machine. The num- ber was taken as it went through and Attorney J. Clinton Roraback soon got ou the trail. The result was that on Saturday, John A. Palmer, of TOrring- ton, was brought before Justice George w. Ford, on the charge of operating a motor vehicle at greater speed than was reasonable or proper.
 MT. ROrabaGk appeared for the state, an1 ". W. BiercP, of TOrringtOn, for
 defendant. It appeared, from the evi- dence that Palmer had been hired by a man who has received telegTaphic in formation of the serious illness of a member of his family ill Minneapolis, Nina, and was anxious to reach Pitts field ill time to catch an express train for the west. on the Boston &5 Albany road. In order to get the train it was ueceSSdrN Oo IdNe1 dV 1dSI CID, aHol in disregard of certain provisions of the speed law. By so doing Palmer reach ed Pittsfield just six minutes before the train left.
 Attorney Bicrce stated the facts to the court, admitted the trangression on the part of his client, and asked for leniency in view of the circumstances Attorney ROraback agreed to a settle nent of the case on payment of costs, and the Justice so found. The costs, amounting tO $113S wore paid
