For instance, Po- ".llsh miners observe Christmas on two days, December 25th and 26th, while ‘ those attending the Creek Church ob- serve Christmas on January 7th, 8th - and 9th. The mines and breakers can't run with part of the .working force off duty, so they are obliged to shut down for 5 days on account of Christmas. Most manufacturing industries satisfy their employees by closing one day. New Year's Day is another sample. It.occun-ed both January 1st and 14th. Easter Sunday was observed on We ' different dates, and the Greek Church ' also observed Easter Monday and Tuesday, making a total of 4 days for Easter. Names of many of the other holy-days are not sufficiently similar in the two calendars to make a sails» factory comparison, but the fact re- mains that last year on account of holidays the mines were forced to be : idle about one day for every three days they were worked. FADHIOND AND CULINARY. WRINKLES. The tailored coals which the load- ing Parisian and New York tailors are sending out have rounded [route which fall apart Just below the waist line. This is u trying design on the 1 woman who does not carry herself well and should be adopted with care. in Paris they have been wearing er- mine and other white for boas right on through the summer, and Vogue says that many have diaphanous summer gowns which they have not taken out of their wardrobes at all. The barege vellings may be more serviceable for general touring pur- poses but they are not as soft and pretty as chiffon-and do not come in asmany handsome colors. Harper's Bazar suggests this novel holiday gift to be sent to some inland friend next Christmas—hut prepared now: Select large, perfect clam shells of uniform size and tie them up in lots of six each. They make the very nicest little bakingdishes, fish “au- grstln" or cscnlloped oysters being es- pecially good when cooked in these natural rameklns. 'l‘wo dozen shells ‘ are none too many for one gift. as they do not last forever, becoming cracked and discolored after a while. FRENCH AND BELGIAN HORSES.

Out of the new 1 cuty~ilve power boats in the Norwalk harbor. only eight participated. The day was an ideal one for motor—bout racing, and a larger number should have turned out.

We must have the assistance of the pastors or his assistants in their res~ pective parishes to go forward with our work and their help will make it easy. So let us pray that we will have the good will of the clergy in our work for total abstinence, and that they will look upon our efforts with a determin- ation on their part to help us build up our membership and bring the stale union the successs it deserves. - Our union financially Is in first class shape. as you will see from the report of your treasurer We have every- thing to be thankful for, as we have shown a good increase in membership during the year. and we trust, with God's help, We may be able to work harder the coming year and that God will spare us to attend the next con~ ventlon to review again the year's work for 1907 and 198. I am very grateful to "the societies in our union for the courtesies I re ceived during the year. I visited as many societies as I possibly could, and would like to have accepted all the In- vitations sent me. I want to thank the secretaries for their prompt an- swers to my inquiries and i trust 1 have been faithful to 'my duty. While acting as an assistant at the solemn high mass which preceded the opening of the State C. T. A. U. con- vention here at 10 o'clock this morn- ing, Philip Conran. a student at the Dunwoodie Theological Seminary of Yonkers. N. Y. was painfully burned on the hand, neck and forehed. His surpllce caught fire from a candle and blazed up nearly causing a panic in the church. The Rev Father Patrick Duggan, pastor of St. Francis Church, with rare presence of mind. smothered out the flames by means of Father Con- ran’s outer garment. The injured man was able to walk to the physician's office, where his wounds wereattended to. " . 11 on: Criminal Action May be Tak- en (Continued From First Page.) The public clamor had become so great Saturday that Judge Edward M. Inckwood, of the Norwaik police court, called up Prosecuting Attorney Wil- liam F. Tammany, and recommended that he look into the matter, with a view to bringing criminal charges against MacCormac for the death of his wife The judge also told Mr. Tammany that some believed the charge should be manslaughter. if action is taken against MacCor— mac, some action will probably be brought against young William H. Ty- son, of Riverside, with whom it is claimed that MacCormac was racing when the accident occurred. All sorts of nunors have been flying about concerning MacCormac's condi- tion. One thing certain is that there are plenty of witnesses to state that he was not driving like a rational man when he went through Norwalk. It was a ride of the wildest sort, replete with narrow escapes from collisions. MncCormuck admitted at the hospital that he had been drinking for three days before the unfortunate affair. it has been rumored that both he and his wife were intoxicated. but Funeral DI- rector Goorge H. Raymond, of Nor- walk, who took charge of Mrs. MacCor- mac’s remains, states that he look par- ticulur pains to detect the odor of liquor on her, but found absolutely none, and does not believe that she had been drinking. A number of people who saw the couple declare that they saw MacCor- mac driving with one arm about his wife’s body, leaving but one hand to control the high powered car. Mrs. Smith Northrop who was In the car- riage with which they collided, is also of the opinion that he was steering with one hand at the time the car came into- view. Coroner Charles A. Down. who made a preliminary examination of the case Friday, will come to Norwallt again in a few days. A full statement has not yet been secured from MacCormac. Prosecuting Attorney William F. Tammany th s mornin stated that he had an oillcer out loo ng up the evl~ dense in the case. and on receiving his report said that some action might be Today the condition of MacCormac is reported from the hospital as fairly good physically, though his mind is in a very busy state. Much of the time MaoCormac has no clear idea of what has happened to him. while occasionally he seems to comnrehend that he has figured in an automobile smashup. It is considered that his chances for recovery are lain ly good, but his condition continues as critical that death may occur within a tow minutes should he have a bad rn. The injured man calla repeatedly for his wife and the hospital authorities have a hard time keeping the terrible facts of the accident from him. The man is in a far too serious condition to toll-him of his wife's death, and it will probably be several days before he is informed. lira. header and bits.

It will be three weeks, howaver. before it will be posi- tively known whether amputation be- tween thc knee and ankle will be nec- essary. His torn right thigh and other injuries are considered to be doing as well as could be expected. SHOW SPL‘ITD. W Traveling Company’s Hard Luck Fol. lowed by Attachment Papers. Evidently the troubles of the Hippo- drome 1 Amusement Company, which exhibited in Thomaston on the first three nights‘of last week. and 1. was previously in South Norwalk, are yet for from being at an end. After fin- ishing a week's engagement in Tor- rington. last. Saturday, the company split up, part going to Vermont and what was left going to Thomsaton. There was a disagreement between the owners of the different “special at- tractions” after-1 Wednesday night‘s ex- hibition and as a result another disso lutlon of partnership took place imme- diately. Only a smai part of the show went to Terryville as scheduled. the bulk of the outfit remaining in Thomaston un- til yesterday, when orders wore given for Its removal to Watertown. When this was learned by one of the interest ed showman he immediately sought Deputy Sheriff ilosford. and with at- tachment papers in readiness. the pair started in the direction of Watertown. WILD DOGS CAP-TUNED. MADISON, August,19.——Two large dogs which have been- running wild in this section of the state and terror" izing the farmers by killing their stock, were captured yesterday by William Johnson, a farmer, who found them in his hen coop. A reward of $50 for their capture had been offered by the town authorities, and this was paid to Johnson, and the dogs taken alive. No disposition has yet been made of? them.
