 Situation

A resolution of opposition to religious persecution in Mexico was drawn up at meeting of the Holy Name society of St Thomas church last night. A copy of the resolution will be sent to ConnectI- cut representatives in Washington, D. c. Another resolution drawn up by Timothy Luddy, on the death of Rev James Egan, late pastor of St Francis Xavier church will be sent to the Holy Ma me so- ciety of that parish.
 Last nights meeting was the largest attended since the organiza- ton of the society a few months ago and President Edward Fitzger- aid acted in the capacity of chair man. Plans were discussed for a communion breakfast, the first of it's kind to be held at St Thomas church, in April. No actual date has as yet been announced.
 Michael Grout, chairman of the card committee reported that he has received an invitation to en- ter a team in the card party at the Immaculate Conception church on Thursday evening and 1t was voted that St Thomas be represent ed. Favorable reports were rem dered on the "45" and pinochle tournament being conducted under the auspices of the Holy Name so- ciety.
 Rev Joseph F. Donnelly, chap lain of the group in a short talk reminded those present of the min- .strel and dance that will be given at the Waterbury Women's club on Wednesday, February 18th.

The questions will be read slowly, giving listeners ample time to mark proper an- swers with pencil and paper.
 The contest will be broadcast each succeeding Thursday during it's duration at o'clock over sta tion WATR with the cooperation of the Waterbury Democrat.

Former Waterburian
 Describes C Communism
William Thomas Walsh Author of Article in the Com mOnweaI-De6nes Communism as Form of Religion

Present day communism is really form of religion in disguise, de- clares William Thomas Walsh, for nner local newspaperman and later an instructor at Roxbury school in Cheshire, in an article in this weeks issue of The Commonweal The article is titled "Is Commun- ism Dangerous" and is particular ly interesting at this time because of the announced intention of local Communists to extend their activi- ties into the grammar and high schools of the city.
 Thousands of Americans, ac- cording to the former local writer, are tolerant of Communism with out knowing enough of tits dia- bolical character and purpose. ' The Communists appeal, he says through the guise of drama, art and social welfare, and many at tempts to arouse feeling against their aims have resulted only in winning sympathy for their cause.
 Danger Stressed.
 "The real danger in the United States" declares MT Walsh, lis not the enthusiast who shouts in Union Square for the downfall of capitalists and priests, but the large and growing body of American opinion which, maintaining at present an almost neutral attitude toward communism, is predisposed to make its neutrality benevolent one if certain contingencies arise, and to furnish the small majority of organized, well-financed Mar xians with exactly the foothold they require"
 Species of Religion.
 In another passage, MT Walsh states: "The answer, think, is that Communism is not merely economic and political theory, but species of religion. If it were

dicates a probable deficit of from $22,000 to $25,550.
 The borough clerks report shows expenditures of $363,781.83 for the 10 months ending January 31, 1885. This does not include welfare de- partment figures. On December 31 the welfare report showed a net expense of $59,803.68. This was an average of $6,644 for the nine months. If this is taken as the probable welfare expenses for Jan uary. and added to the $59,803 it shows expenses of $66,447 for this department up to February 1.
 This figure added to the $363,781 gives total expenses of $430,228, or an average of $43,022 monthly for the 10 months. If this average is maintained in the last two months of the fiscal year, the sum of $86,- 044 would be required. Using the above total expense as a basis, there is about $60,492 left in the budget. This leaves a deficit of $25,552.
 Revised Building Ordinances !.
 A revised ordinance concerning residential commercial church, school, factory building, or any other building construction in this borough was presented to the bor- ough board last night. Members were asked to study 1t carefully and be prepared to vote on 1t at the next meeting.
 The ordinance provides any person or firm engaged in such construction work who receives a fee or valuable consideration or compensation must procure li- cense. This does not include any, one who merely furnishes material and supplies without fabricating the same as builder. The license fee is to be $75 and the builder must show knowledges of his pro. fession. A commission of three to serve for one. two or three years respectively will be appointed by the board of warden and burgesses to administer the ordinance. It will have full power to renew, re- yoke or refuse licenses.

St. Mary's Hospital Makes Annual ReD0rt
(Continued from Page 1)

There were 811 births at the hos pital during the year, according to a statistical table appended to Mother Sacred Hearts report. There were 302 deaths at the hos pital, 98 of them taking place within 48 hours after the patient was admitted. The hospital am- hulance answered 520 calls, an in- crease of 49 over 1883.
 Mother Sacred Hearts report fellows:
 Most Rt Rev Bishop, Reverend Fathers and Gentlemen:
 The year of 1894 has recorded an increase of 126 patients over last year. 7,580 patients were given 68,720 days of care, thus giving a daily average of 188 patients. The yearly increase in the number of patients cared for Is an indication of the status of the hospital in the care of the sick of Waterbury. Naturally the growth in the num- Der of patients has caused a cor c:al burden that the hospital is called upon to carry.
 The maintenance or operating ccst of the hospital during the past year was $220,512.84 or $3.21 per patient day. The financial state- ment shows that only 27 1-2 per cent of our patients paid their full hospital bill and that 8 1-2 re- ceived gratis service. The remain ing GA per cent paid less than the per diem rate.
 The continued economic strain has made it difficult to do anything other than the most necessary re- pairs. The principal ones were the exchange of heavy foot press for a tandeLl power driven press which enables the laundry to handle the extra work that this department has been called upon to do.
 A new and much quieter doctors call system has replaced the for mer noisy call bell. This change has added much to the quiet of the hospital and to the comfort of the patient.
 The day cubicle curtains in- stalled in two male wards adds greatly to the privacy of the pa tient and the general appearance of the wards.
 The COrnlce on the SOutn sue Ol the building had to be replaced, and the entire side of the building, together with the main entrance, had to be painted. Because weath- CT conditions prevented the work from being completed, the cost of this repair is not included above.
 The o. P. D. and dispensary have completed their fourth year of very active service. The number of vis- it's during 1884 was 1445 less than in 1893. We consider this decrease as an indication that this number of people were able, to seek ser- vices from their own family physi- clan. A larger and better equipped emergency room has been opened for the care of our accident pa 'tients.
 The hospital has tried to cooper ate with the desires of the national nursing organizations and de- creased the number of student nurses by taking only one class a year during the past three years. The resulting shortage of student nurses has necessitated taking on number of graduate nurses for general duty.
