ITC. mm Railway Company have decided to make the fivecent fare apply between any two points within the town of Westport, such change to bc,effcctlve on Saturday, June 15th. To accomplish this. it will be necessary to adopt a system of identification checks to be given out. by the conductor in accord- ance with the plan outlined below: Pasengers boarding east-bound cars at, or east of the Norwalk-Westport town line. will be given transfers upon request to the Westport local lines or to the Bridgeport-Westport line. in the latter case the transfer entitling passengers to ride as far east as Sas- co Bridge. Also transfer from the -Wetport local lines will be given per- mitting passengers to ride as far west as the Westport-Norwalk town line. or as far east as Sasco Bridge. Passengers paying cash fare on east- bound Westport-Bridgeport cars at Hotel Square, or. between that place and Sasco Bridge, will ask conductor for identification checks upon paying fare, provided they wish to ride east of Sasco Bridge. These checks will be lifted at Sasco Bridge. where all passengers not having the checks will be obliged to pay fare. and the regular cash fare, collection will then be made at Southport. Identifi- cation checks will not be given to passengers boarding cars at Westport with transfers, Cash paying passengers boarding washbound cars at or west of Sasco Bridge will be given transfers to the Westport local lines or to the West- port-Norwalk line; in the last case the transfer entitling holder to ride only as far west ‘as the Westport-Norwalk town Ilnc. Passengers paying cash fares on the Westport-Norwalk cars at, Hotel Square or between that point and the Westpori-Norwalk town line. and desiring to ride west of town line. will ask conductor for identification checks. which checks will be taken up at the Westport-Norwalk town line. This system of identification checks, being new to'the public, is liable to cause some confusion at first, but it is the earnest bond ‘of the company that this attempt to mentor accommodate its patrons will meet with the hearty cooperation of the public, and it wish- es to place particular stress on tho. ini- portance of asking for identification checks at. the time fare is paid to the conductor, provided passengers wish to ride east of Sasco Bridge or West of the Westport-Norwalk town line, as failure to do this will make the pay- ment of another fare necessary. Trans- fers to and from points within the, town of Westport should be asked for at the time fare is paid. TECHNICAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

NEW HAVEN. .lune 11.——.\'ot many places in the pews were vacant this morning when Rt. Rev. Chauncey Ii. llrewster. Episcopal bishop of the die. case of Connecticut. opened with ser- vice the annual diocesan convention in St. 'I‘homus‘ Church in Elm street. The session was opened with a re- port that the delegates consisted of the vector and two laymen from each parish. the offering of amendments to the rules and the appointment of cow ventiou committees. lloth the laity and clerical body present was an es- pecially representative one of the dio- cese. due in no small part to the fact that the entire body will go to Strat- l’ord tomorrow to take. part in the sol- emn commemoration of the. 200th an- niversary ol‘ the establishment of the Church of England in Connecticut. the arrangements for which have been under way for many months. the event being of particular significance to the church of the entire country. In this service tomorrow and the historical exercises which follow it many bishops will speak and a number of papers showing deep research into the early church history of the state will be read. The committee reported that the delegates number nearly 400. each par- ish being represented by the rector and two laymen. Mr. Ilurton Mans- field offered a resolution congratulat- ing the bishop on his tenth anniver- sary of consecration. This was pass- ed. The treasurer. John H. Sage. of Portland, reported a balance of die- cesan funds of $1.781. An assessment of three-fourths of one. per cent. was laid upon parishes to meet current ex- penses. The trustees of donations and bequests reported gifts of $1,000 to Calvary Church at Colchester. $500 to Trinity Church. Brooklyn. for the bur- ial fund. and $100 to St. John‘s Church. this city. , The fund for aged and iii- flrui clcrgynicn had been augmented by $1.534, making the total fund now $96,000. The clergymeii's retiring fund is $21,215. Just before the close of the morning session. most of the business having been referred to committees to report later In the da Bishop Brewster gave his annual ad ress. Bishop Brewster at the. opening of his address spoke of those of the church who died during the past year in this diocese and then gave his year- ly statistics in connection with which he says: . Since the last convention I have. vis- ited churches. chapels. missions and places, to the number of 136. In the course of these visitations and at oth- er times. I have officiated on 211 occa- sions. delivered 270 sermons and ad- dresses. celebrated the Holy Commun- ion 48 times, officiated at three filtr- eruls. baptized two persons. and have confirmed 1,787 persons. There was also confirmed by the bishOp of Dela- ware one person. making a total of 1.- 788 confirmed. There have been or- dained to the discounts four candi- dates from this diocese. and one from Iowa. Six candidates have been or- dained to the priesthood Fifteen cler- gymen have presented letters dimis- sory. and have been received into the diocese; 16 clergyman have received letters dimissory.

Of these four have been ordain- ed as stated above. two have been transferred and one has been dropped. There are at present 17 candidates. Since the last convention I have If- caused 32 lay roadcrs. renewed 24 ll- causes which had expired. granted three simulal licenses to preach. and have revoked one license.

The Episcopal Academy at Cheshire When I came to the diocese. had fallen. into some financial difficulty, over which we earnestly labored. To its rescue came a generous alumnus of the school. The property was leased to a syndicate of gentlemen and a board was organized for the direction of what is to be known as the Cheshire School. To membership In this new. board were invited several members of the. old board. Including myself. The alumnus referred to has been muuificeut in his outlay upon the pro- perty and the institution was once more prosperous. I was made to learn. however. that the Institution had be- come explicitly a proprietary school and was to be. conducted as such: that in other words it had ceased to be a diocesan institution. Under all the circumstances. it seemed altogether“ advisable that I should resign from the board of directors of the Cheshire School. incorporated. which I did. To omit to have an offering. as the imnon requires. for the fund for aged and infirm clergy and widows and or- phans of clergymen. is not only a di- rect disobedience of the canon. but. moreover, involves a heartlessness which I am quite at a loss to under— stand. The demands upon the fund have largely increased of late. The past. year. were it not for legacies re» cclved. the income would have- been. quite inadequate to meet even the small appropriations made to deserv- ing recipients. While we thus did not fall behind, we are for the coming year confronted by an unusual num- ber of urgently imperative demands. lint for the lamentable fact touching many of our stronger parishes, I should suppose that this diocesan object and the. general clergy relief fund of the church would make effective appeal to every parish pr est and every earn- _est layman; indce , to every one with a sense of either justice or compas- slon. Bishop Brewster spoke of the low salaries paid to clergymen, and pro- posed an increase in their pay. He said: “With us all time is passing. This is the tenth year since my consecra- tion as bishop. If I may venture to ask that this be in any way marked. although I need no evidence of your kind and generous good will. I beg to call your attent‘on to the following: The decade since my consecration in October, 1897. has been a period of change. In one particular the change in that time has been striking. namely. in the cost of living. Recent federal statistics regarding wholesale prices. state that the average for the year 1906 was 5.6 per cent. higher than for 1905. and 36.5 per cent. for 1807. It is undeflable that there has been a steady increase in thc cos. of the necessaries of life. This has been recognized by the great rallwa‘y oom- panics and other large corporations in a general increase of wages. Yet in this decade, with a few notable excep- tions. the salaries of the clergy as a class have not been increased. On the other hand some of the salaries are merely meagre. . Amidst the general increase of wages in those days, is the minister of Christ to get no increase simply because he doeii not strike? I have requested the missionary society to consider whether it cannot be pro- vided that the stipend of the mission- aries shall be substantially increased. 1 now ask that thin tenth your of my service among you be marked throughout the parishes of the diocese by a substantial increase of the solar ' ‘\ Fabrics, style and fit guaranteed correct. the price you pay in as low as quality and workmanship will permit.
