She also spoke of a flag drill given in the South church Sunday school, where eleven boys and girls, representing eleven especially different nationalities taken from the | Sunday school gave this drill each ¢hild holding in one hand an Armenian flag said “We Are Americans.” “There are $1,3000,000 Italians of for- eign birth in this country- 80,000 in Conrnecticut and 5,000 in New Britain. Ten years ago there were only twenty-three Per- sians in New Britain; two men kept house and all the rest boarded with @ them, yet today there are 500 Per- sians most of them having comfort- able homes. There are slans in the United States. Few are Mohammedans, a few Roman Catho- lics, but most are Prostestants. Con- necticut has cight per cent. foreign population, and in the Congregation- al churches alone there are 3,151 membe said -Miss Bliss. 1,000,000 immigrants come to our | shores every year, 300,000 return each year to their fatherland and many ! as the question, does it pay to do anything for them, and what is the imessage we are sending back Wwith them?

Bridgeport, Conn., April 18.—The first application of the workmen’s i compensation act to a Connecticut municipality on the death of a city employe while engaged in the per- formance of his duty was called un- officially to the attention of Com- pensation Commissioner Buckingham yesterday. The case is that of Thomas Comporato, a street cleaner, who was knocked down by a run- ! away horse here several days ago and i died yesterday from injuries received at that time.

Bridgeport. DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. State Treasuror Roberts and Secrc- | tary Wright Disagree Over Clerkship. Hartford, April 18.—There is d.dif- ference of opinion between State Treasurer E. S. Roberts and the civil H sorvice commission over the appoint- ment of an assistant clerk in the | treasurer’s office to succeed Clifford S, ‘Wightman, who has resigned. Treas- urer Roberts says the position is in a measure confidential and he thinks he should have the power to appoint Mr. Wightman'’s successor and he hag in fact already picked a man for the place. A conference was held be- tween the treasurer and members of the commission concerning the mat- ter and the treasurer understood that he would be allowed to appoint. Secretary Wright of the commis- sion takes the opposite view and says he knows of no such understanding. A list of eligibles has been submitted to the treasurer. . OFFIOERS ON RIDE. Boston, April 18.—A ninéty mile ride, the first test of the kind under- gone by officers of the state militia, was started from this city today. Bleven officers were subfected to a physieal examination before starting on the “hike.” Joseph Caillaux, former premier and minister of finance, for re-election to the chamber of deputies 1s attracting more attention than that of any other politician in France. The reasons for this are the recent assassination of Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro, by Mme. Caillaux and the | alleged influence brought to bear by M. Caillaux to postpone the trial of | Henri Rochette on charges of exten- | sive swindling operations. | While Mme, Caillaux awdits in Saint Lazare prison the opening of her trial for murder her husband’s | political friends are busy seeking the support of the voters in his constitu- ency of Mamers, in the department | of the Sarthe, which he has repre- sented in the chamber since 1898, Baron D’Estournelles De Constant is taking a leading part in M. Cail- laux’s canvass. The efforts of the baron and other sponsors of M. Caillaux have been so vigorous that the usually cold and cautious peasants of the district have been led on to regard M. Caillaux as the victim of reactionary plots in Paris and are in- clined to his support. The line of action taken in behalf of M. Caillaux is that his adversaries have not hesitated to use any kind of means to ruin him. It is stated that he is threatened every day with blackmall and that every morning he fears to open the newspapers lest he should find publighed some of his in- timate and private letters that were stolen. The adversaries of M. Cajllaux al- lege that the influence of the govern- or is being used energetically in fav- or of the former premier. M. Caillaux himself is taking part in the speechmaking. Moving pictures are being greatly used to at- tract the voters and to illustrate the election eloquence. “GEN.” COXEY ISSUES PROHIBITION ORDER His Followers, Hereafter, Must Cut Out the Booze or Else Be Dis- missed From the Army. Louisville, O., April 18.—Because members of the Fife corps of Coxey's army of the commonweal traded their instruments for beer, became intoxi- cated, it was charged, and were jailed by the village marshal, ‘‘General” Jacob 8. Coxey issued an edict against drinking as the army left here today on the third day of the march to ‘Washington. “I don’t belong to the W. C. T. U., but from now on you've either got to ‘cut out the booze’ or we don’t want You along,” was the substance of the leader’'s address to his ‘troops.” “We're marching to Washington to teach the people a great moral les- son, and you'll destroy all its effect if you persist in getting drunk.” Coxey was pleased as much by the prediction ‘of a gypsy fortune teller met on the road, that he would live to be one hundred as by the increase in the number of his recruits to more than a score.

TTCHNG AND BURNING RASH Started on Chest. Then on Left Shoulder and Arm, Nearly Driven Crazy. Used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. Rid of Rash. 304 Anawan St., Fall River, Mass. — “My trouble started mostly on the front of my body and on my chest. It was just brown spots at first and 1t looked like freckles, and then they seemed to run in together and they looked like a rash of some kind. It dld not trouble | y me for almost a year and A then my upper lip and my \ \\ W face right near my eye broke out and it was ftch- ing and burning all the time. I used on it and it dried 16 up, but that was not gone good when the same rash broke out on my left shoulder and on my left arm and it nearly drove me crazy. I could not sleep and I could not do anything. I scratched and 1t made 1v g0 {nto sores on my back and face. My clothing irritated it something awful. I could not bear anything to touch my back at all for two weeks and it would make it itch and burn 8o badly I would cry out and have to take my clothes off. “T tried and that did not do any good. I thought I would go out of my head the way I was, But after I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment they seemed to ease me. I only used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and it took two months to get rid of the eruption.” (Signed) Mrs. Katie F. Silivia, Apr. 12, 1913.
