The number of Catholics in the United States increased by half a million last year, says this weeks Catholic Transcript. The diocesan publication cites figures given by the Official Catholic Directory for 1888, published by P. J. Kennedy & Sons, New York.
 The total number of Catholics in American is now 21,451, ,460. This is a gain of 2,326 over the 1897 total. The number of Catholics in the country has increased by 1,762,- 900 in the past 10 years, and by more than 100000 in the last 20 years.
 The Transcript adds:
 With the creation of three new provinces, three new archdiocese and five new dioceses, the directory this year records more major changes in both the hierarchy and the governmental structure than ever before.
 The foregoing changes bring the number of archdiocese up to 19, with 93 dioceses, two vicariates and one abbey nullius, 115 ordinariats, in all. The cardinals, archbishops and bishops now number 132, seven more than last year. The See of Burlington is the only bishopric now vacant.
 The total number of the clergy, 32,668, shows an increase of 1,019, serving 18,428 churches and mis- sions and several thousand other institutions. One new seminary was opened which brings the total to 206, with 15,984 seminarians. There are now 193 colleges for men; 676 colleges and academies for girls and 1906 diocesan and private high schools. This last figure is an in- crease of 127 over last year. AS noted in the 1897 report, dio- cesan officials are giving more and more accurate educatioal statistics particularly with regard to high school. Whereas last years figures were for the most part incomplete, 1888 with many more dioceses re- porting, shows an increase of 127 high schools and 202,234 more stu dents attending colleges, high school and academies.
 Parochial schools have increased from 7,445 to 8,028. The total of

responding days in May, 1887.
 The Connecticut company first began feeling the effects of the pres- ent business recession last November and the trend continued in Decem- Der with a loss of approximately three per cent in passenger rev. enues. Weather conditions helped to offset the effects of business con- ditions somewhat in January, when snow and rain storms, which had not prevailed in January, 1897, as is normal under such circumstances, caused many people to leave their own automobiles at home and to patronize the motor coach and street car lines.
 In February, the company was again hit with a loss of three per cent in passenger revenue, and then as conditions became worse those revenues suffered decline of more than six per cent in March. Dur ing the month of April, the coach and trolley income has been run ming nearly six per cent behind that month last year. The reason for the slightly better showing in April is the fact that Easter came in that month this year instead of in March, giving April the benefit of the pre-Easter shopping traffic.

Old Times! Little Chimney Fire Starts Train of Memories-Min- ister Former
 P rol
 Driver.
BY A WATERBURY FREFAN

Over in Brooklyn in Lafayette street, where once dwelled the Irish and the French, chimney fire in the once Cronin home stead at number 26 and 28, brought Engine Companies 3 and II, with Truck 3 at or about ten o'clock this morning. The fire amounted to very little, in so far as actual damage was concerned.
 But the appearance of so many colored people made some of us of the department look back to the days when the nearest colored person to Brooklyn lived in big house on the south side of what was once Livery street, running from Cedar street to Hall street, and which is now a portion of Library Park.
 On the east side of Lafayette street Is a three story frame structure, filled with colored people, the building and property owned by the Rev. John w. Platt now full fledged minister of the Gospel, but at one time driver of the horse drawn police patrol of olden days, at 8 time when night life in and about Bauby's corner in Waterbury was much active than we happen to find it as of this day, and when the rick ety wagon, from so much usage, now and then rattled and shook over the Belgian block pavement in the center, as the team of old "hack grays" gallopped madly on their way to the scene of arrest. The Reverend John, anxious for the uplift of all of us, recalled these incidents as we chatted with him just after the fire had been pronounced "out" by Acting Deputy Chief Steve Bloomfield.
 "Oh, yes," explained the Rever- end John, we had to move away from Bishop and Vine streets about five years ago, that is some of us did, and we established our selves over here. Everything IS nice here and we keep our pro- perty up to date." And the pre- mises looked 1t.
 The Reverend John saw life as 1t really was here around the turn of the century, and began to think it was time to start off in an eff fort to save many of us. So he studied for the ministry, was most attentive to his studies, and passed with flying colors.
 Next Sunday, he expects to preach in Danbury. Reverend John is deep and sincere in his talks, and interests his listeners to such and extent that they want to come back to his services for the second time.

How closely the business of the transit industry follows the trend of general business conditions is shown in passenger statistics of the Connecticut company for the past three months, which reveal that during February, March and April the company has suffered a loss of 784,000 revenue passengers or an average of more than 250,000 per month as compared with the corre- spending period of 1897. For the first six days of May, there is a re- duction of over 100000 revenue riders, or a decrease of nearly ten per cent as compared with the cor-
