Pagan Priests Fought Missionaries.

Pagan Priests Fought Missionaries.
 The men who fought the mission aries tooth and na1l were the pagan priests. They know nature perhaps, as no others do. including the struc- ture and composition of each herb, and leaf. They can poison a man so that he will die in ten or even twenty years. They can poison him so that he will die in q week, or even Vlo- lenuy in 8 few hours. They can send & man to the brink of the grave with their poisons and bring him back with their marvellous antidotes. And many a. missionary has dallen prey to them in the 50 years of work. Of the dead missionaries and nuns buried at the mission, YYllcch is 900 miles in length, the average age is under 28, end the average n1jssiona<y's life is under three years.
 Transformation Wrought,
 The last pictures shown were of ceremonies attending human sa.criflc- ing One showed two men with their heads and arms severed and tied to d tree. Another was of @ man. his head tied in 9 tree and his arms be- hind him, dangling in mid-air as an offering. Tn one place, said the speak CT, where a. king had died, 5000 per- sons were killed in the cemetery, that his soul might swim in blood. For: the final work in putting an end to such sacrifices. and teaching the nsL- lives the error Of their ways, the French government bestowed on the leader Of the mission years ago, the cross of the Legion of Honor And now the whole mission field after the LnartyTdom of so many of its workers, is strong in it's commandments and the men whose randparents killed broth CTS, even, to appease the gods, arc to- day good Christians.
 To give his audience q little rest for the eyes, after being under the tropical sun for so hong, Father O'RoUrHe threw on the screen views of Ireland, and the feelings and sym pathies of different ones in the au- dience could be gathered from the si- lence or applause that greeted the sev- era1 pictures-from the Round Tower of Loch Rhea. a, panoramic view Of at Sligo, right down to the Belfast harbor, or the treaty stone at Linn erick.
 Father O'Rourze's remarks were made with the glowing accent that attaches itself only to the Celtic tongue, and his humor was as Irish as the rest of him He thanked his hear CTS for their eI1cOUr7g cement
 Assisting as Ushers in the hall dur ing the evening were John T. Sulli- van, Patrick J. Sullivan, John F. Bar ry and Joseph A. Donnelly. Father O'ROurke said he was very grateful to James 4. Drew, lessee, who allowed him the use of the hall, and the T. A B. society for their favors.
 While in Norwich Father O'Rourke has been the guest of Rev. J. Fl. Fftz- maurice, rector of St. Mary's church.

EFFICIENT FIRE DEPARTMENT.
How Norwich Looks Viewed from ths
 Outside,


 Says the New London Globe. under Note and Comment:
 Recently in this comment there was something about how Chief Stanton of the Norwich fire department main tains his knowledge Of buildings. It might be better illustrated by describ- ing the inspection card used in the de- partment, that when filled out is filed away at Headquarters. For this pur- pose he sends out different men, in addition to his own inspection The business section is particularly looked after.
 This fire inspection card has blanks to contain the following information: Owner, occupants, purpose, heat, en- frances, kind of roof, elevators, ex- plosives. acids. condition. partition wall, eXtinguiSherS, stories, watchman, class of building, light, entrance to cellar, access to roof, hatchway. fire escapes, kind, stairWays, shutters, hose, main cut off electricity, gas, water, hydrants within 500 feet date of in spection and by whom.
 Filling out the blanks 50 specified answers all questions regarding a building, and the men are encouraged to keep knowledge of the buildings in mind so that they will know eS- actly what they will have to con tend with and how quickest to get at it It might not be possible to main- tain this close inspection in a great city. but in places like Norwich and New London 1t would be easy for the fireman, or a number of firemen, to know how to get at a building that they may be passing every day on the way to their employment From this and other information 1t is taken that the Norwich fire department is about as efficient as Is possible to make department of its size.

CONNECTICUT UNIvERsALIsTs.
Sunday School Teaching Considered at
 Their Midyear Conference.

The uidyear conference of the Con- nectlcut Universalist convention and Woman's Missionary association was neld at the Church of the Redeemer at Hartford Friday afternoon and even Ing, with addresses by several speak CTS on many phases of church and Sunday school work.
 Rev. Dr. John Coleman Adams. min Ister of the Hartford church, spoke on The Modern Sunday School Teacher and His Bible. Teachers, he said, were missionary citizens, interested in Influencing as many people as possible to enter into Christ's kingdom, and into it's great ideals of freedom, truth righteousness and love. This task meant study of the Bible, the text book of the Christian. The historical and spiritual way of studying the Bible was the best for the teacher. 4 teacher must live in the atmosphere of the Bible.
 Mrs. Clarence l.. Rice of Springfield spoke on The Modern Bible and It's Missions. She urged that every ser mon be a missionary sermon, urged that the spirit of missions be put into the heart of every child, and referred to the time when the whole world should become Christian.
 Rev. Dr. Charles H. Puffer of Staf- ford talked concerning The Christian Bible and the Problems of Life. He spoke Of a mans problem in life as of four kinds: those in relation to him. self, between him and God between him and his neighbor, and between him and matter. He spoke Of the one ness in all men and tho fact that the majority of men did not yet realize it. If the world had come to this realiza- ton the Colorado strikes would not have happened; I. W. w. disturbances would not have taken place. The gos- pei could solve all these problems.
 The principal speaker at the even ing session was Rev. Dr. George F. Huntley of Canton, N. Y, president of the national. association. He took for his subject The Star of Success in Religious Pedagogy, emphasizing the importance and dignity of teaching, especially the work of moral and spir- itual teaching. The central problem of the Sunday school today, he said, was not one Of finance or curriculum, but one of adequate pedagogy. He prophesied 9 new generation of teach CTS, thoughtful, prayerfuj, hopeful. joyful faithful tactfu1, successful,
 Those who attended from Norwich were Rev and Mrs. T. F. Cobb, Mrs. F. $. Young and E. A Tracy.

STATE REFoRMAToRY FOR
 WOMEN RECOMMENDED,
Special Commission Advises $20,oo0 Appropriation for 200 Acre Farm Site.

The special state commission ap- pointed by ex-Governor Simeon E. Baldwin during the 1913 session of the legislature to investigate the desira- bllIty of establishing a reformatory for women in Connecticut submitted a re- port Friday to Governor Marcus H. Holcomb recommending the establish ment and asking that the general as sembIy immediately appropriate S2O.- 900 for the purchase and clearing of a 200 acre farm which shall eventually be the site of a main building and a group of 10 cottages for the care and reformation of all women between 16 and 29 years old who have been con victed of any but the most serious crimes. The report states that the existing conditions of Imprisonment of women are not a credit to the state, thai next to nothing is done for such women in the jails and that the pres ent policy of committing girls to the two private institutions now in the state is unsatisfactory. Tho report is signed by Prof. William B. Bailey of Yale, chairman, and the other mem bers Of the commission.

HENS TURTLE
OFFSPRING DO
PUP BAD TURN

SNOAPPULISH, Wash, May 4.
One of the most remarkable in
stances of filial devotion in the
lower animals ever heard of has
Just come to light here.
Last spring Lem Macy, wag
and a practical joker, had an old
Rhode Island hen named Sairy
which insisted upon setting all
the time. His patience was ex-
hansted when he discovered her
irving to set on the door knob to
the kitchen.
That day Lem dug out
turtles nest and found about 20
futile eggs and decided to play
a joke on the hen. He fetched the
eggs home, made a nice nest and
put Sairy on them remarking
There, eonsarn you, set"
In due time Sairy Matched out
lis nice healthy swapping turtles.
She was worried for a time but
performed her motherly duties
well, and scratched for and fed
the turtles which followed her
around and around the barn lot.
When they grew older they wad-
died down to the crick and Sairy
ran up and down and fretted
thinking them all drowned.
A few weeks ago Lem brought
home a nice pup from Frankford
and the pup took especial delight
in worrying the old hen. Day
before yesterday Sairy had gone
down to the crick. The pup
found her and chased her into the
mud. He came out yelping and
bowling with six fair-sized mud
turtles hanging to his tail and
legs.
Evidently the mud turtles had
seen the pup annoying their
mother and had taken their OPP
portunity to avenge her.

The other 100000 acres OF

With the opening OF the gov

eventually export considerable

1t is not likely that 1t will ever
seriously compete with the fine

The most promising future is in
