Society Observes Kuniversary in Hanna's Armory For many years the Young Men's Total Abstinence and Benevolence 30- ciety of this city has held annual an- niversaries, but it is doubtful if any of the previous functions of this pop- uldr organization will surpass or equal that of last evening, when the thirty-fourth anniversary of the founding of the society was fittingly celebrated in Hanna's armory before an audience estimated at about 1,800 members and inyited guests. The historic hall which has been the gcane of many similar events, never lcoked . prettier with beautiful decor- ations of American flags and hand- some draperies of various hues which hung in streamers and festoons from the walls, the ceilings and across the hall from wall to wall. The stage was also prettily decorated with ferns and plants and made an impressive leng for the evening's entertain- ment, It was shortly after 8 o'clock at close of a concert by Lynch's or- chestra that President Willilam J. Kerin, escorting State President Rev. John J. Fitzgerald of the C. T. A. U, marched through the center isle uc- companied by Rev. John T. Winters, chaplain of the society; Rev. Patrick pastor of St. Joseph’'s church; W. J. E. Fay and Rev. William Krause of St. Mary's church; Miss .I{atherine Blake of New Haven, edi- tor; of the C. T. A, U. Journal, andl Miss Anna Hayes of this city, second vice president of the C. A. U. to the stage, { | President Kerin's Address, resident Kerin said in his opening adsress after extending the greetings of the society to the guests, that the soclely has passed through thirty-four years of suc es in an effort to strengthen its young men of the Catholic faith with sobriety ana against the use of intoxicating liquors. This society has no fight with lo- cal option or prohibition, but is a Cagholic society brught up in the falth ef our church.” he said. “The members of this society realize tio terrible effects of drink. The society thkes its young men and aids them in parlimentary training, in hleti ining and alonmg social lines. We feel that our members receive more lvantages than in many other socic- 1131.’ T wish to bid you one and atu ome.’” Father Daly’s Trip, he second speaker . Wwas Rev, | that had done much for the soclety in securing new members. The speaker said: “I am very much pleased to be here tonight. I am interested in a great extent in the work your society iz doing in the fight against the de- struction caused by the evils of iu- temperance. Let me take you for a little trip about the state for a few minutes. Visit Middletown some time and in that place known as the Re- treat for the Insane you will find onec- half of the inmates brought there on account of liquor. In St. Francis’ Or- phan Asylum in New Haven listen to the tales of more than two-thirds of the poor little tots and you will find their plight is due to liquors, used to excess by their parents. In the state prison at Wethersfield ninety per cent. of the inmates be- hind the gray walls of that institu- tion will tell you that the cause of their downfall is drink. In the State School for Boys in Meriden you will find in large numbers the ##ldren of, drunken parents, who began an early life of crime because of this curse. In the House of Good Shepherd, Hart- ford, many of the girls are inmates due to drunken sots of parents. In two families in St, Joseph's parish there has been spent $6560 for the care of children due to the use of strong drink by the parents.” In closing the speaker urged the members to continue with the grand work that they are carrying on. Miss Jane Conway of Hartford ren- dered, “Somewhere a Voice is Call- ing” and “A Perfect Day,” in a pleas- ing manner, accompanied by Charles Gilbert. She was the recipient of rounds of applause. Mayor Would Vote for Drj Mayor Quigley was late in arriving and when he arose to address the gathering he was greeted with a storm of applause. His Honor said: “It's a pleasure to be with you to- night in your grand celebration ana te assist in a small way in its ob- servance: In a time like that your thoughts go back to the early days of the society when the founders banded together to further sobriety and high ideals. It must be with prifle that you picture ‘the men gathered around as the first shovels of dirt were dug for your beautiful | home. And how you have watchcd | the erection of your building brick by brick. There are two important ques- tion before us today, labor and prohi- bitions and if my vote was to decide nation-wide prohibition, then I would | cast it for it. 1 am not, however, in | favor of state prohibition as it would i not amount to a hill of beans. In a re- cent trip to Washington I was pres- ent when the vote was taken in the House of Representatives on nation- al prohibition and saw it beagen be- cause there was not the two-thirds vote for the majority, but I am con- vinced that it will come' eventually. Again T am glad to be with you and extend to you my wishes for thirty- four more years of unequalled suc- cesses."” Rector Bodley Absent. rick Daly, pastor of St. Joseph's wch. introduced ‘as- a friend why One of the favorites of past years | toward whose witticisms have always been listened to with pleasure by members of the soclety and its friends, was unavoidably absent last evening. He is Rector Harry I. Bodley of St. Mark's Episcopal church, and the an- nouncement of the chairman to the effect that a conference made it im- possible for him to attend, was Te- reived with profound regret. John J. O'Brien rendered two solog which met with appreciative applause. A Stirring Address. President Kerin in his introduction of Father Fitzgerald said: “If the cause of total abstinence had more workers like the next speaker it would grow with wonderful rapidity, It is with pleasure that I introduce Rev. John J. Fitzgerald of Poquo- nock, president of the C. T. A. U.” The greeting that was extended to Father Fitzgerald lasted for several minutes and the rafters of the build- ing shook with plaudits before it sib- sided. Father Fitzgerald said in part: “T vas reading in a newspaper last even- ing a story of a man who was walking down the street and he noticed a house on fire. Rushing up the stairs he rang the bell furiously until a ‘woman appeared at the door. ‘Madam,” he said, ‘vour houge is on fire” The woman was slightly deaf |and answered: ‘What did you say? He repeated the news several times and the woman finally said: ‘Is that an? “The cause of temperance at the present time is a very important one and is not to be looked upon in a frivilous manner as many are prone to do. “I Tecetly heard a story of a man who was absent from his work and when the foreman met him on the street he questioned him regarding his absence. ‘Oh, I was at a wake,’ the man replied. ‘Why, don't you know that wakes are not held in the day- time?’ the foreman said to the man. ‘Oh, that’s all right, this wake was for a night watchman.’ ““No Catholic can afford to view with indifference the temperance question. The outsiders judge the church by its work, but there is another side in which the Catholic church takes like interest, the impression on the mind | of the younger generation of author- ity, if that authority be lawful. The Catholic church teaches that its fol- lowers must obey its bishops, its pas- tors, the officers of the nation and state, and children their parents. This the church is accomplishing. teaches its children against the dan- gers of :socia n which has crept into the H‘,h\mls, which was evidenced at recent”demomstration in a city where scholars wanted their own way. The Catholic church erects its own parochial schools and maintains them, besides paying its share of the taxes the public schools. In the parochial schools the scholars are taught that the heart must learn the difference between good and evil, for what g00d is a man to a community if he does not carry out the practice i || of the heart and good men will cause havoc to our country. Bishop Geer of New York thority for this statement.” Father Fitzgerald spoke of the re- cent mission at St. Mary’'s church and of the many confessions heard by the Jesuits while conducting the mission. He implored the people to carry out the teachings that the fathers had given them during the two weeks of their stay here, and also heed the warnings against intemperance. In a recent talk with Governor Hol- comb, Father Fitzgerald said, the state executive said he admired the Catholic church for the great work it was doing among its young people, and by it he judged it as a great church. 1t is not, however, along one line that this work is being done, for it is Inspiring to hear congregations as they sing .“Holy God We Praise Thy Name.” The value of the soul is more precious to men than all the wealth of « John D. Rockefeller or a J. Pierpont Morgan and all the precious minerals of the earth, the world or the moon doesn't compare with it, the speaker said. “Next .to the soul comes the work temperance,” Father Fitzgerald continued. ‘““Many American people do not enjoy liberty, and if you wish to find out why, just climb four or five flights of stairs in some places and see the poor wife lying cuddled in a corner of a poorly furnished flat, while the drunken husband is away on a debauch. “It has been the custom from time to time to perpetuate the memories of great men with monuments of stone, but why not erect a monument in every city to the cause of temper- ance? Or take a monument and place on top of it a poor woman with sunken cheeks, garbed in poverty, with six children hanging from her sides with outstretched hands crying for food? On the outside place the butcher, baker and candlestick maker with bills in their hapds demanding payment, and on her back place a drunken husband, and instead of Kip- ling’'s ‘The White Man’s Burden,? have engraved on its front, ‘The White Woman's Burden.’ ““At the last session of the legisla- ture T and others interested in the work of temperance, appeared before the excise committee and advocated the closing of saloons on Good Friday and the reduction of saloons in each city to one to‘every 1,000 population. Imagine our astonishment a few days later when two of the noted labor leaders in the state appeared before the committec and opposed the pas- sage of the bills on ground that it would be injurious to the working- man. They exhibited a number of petitions purporting to ‘have been signed by workingmen. Labor unions in this state and country should be careful in their selection of men to represent them at the capitol. John Mitchell, who is without a doubt one of the best informed labor men in the country, branded the statements that the revenue received from liquor in- tcrests was needful to the country's interests as false. He has said ,how- ever, that the e of liquor has brought much misery into the homes of laboring men. “We hear from time to time of the union of capitalists against labor. The clergy stands for men receiving pay for their hire, but are against it when it means that it is to be spent for increasing the use of intoxicating liquors. In closing the speaker said: along as you have under the direction of your beloved pastor, whose merits I hear in all parts of the state He is indeed doing a wonderful work, and if you do the ‘Lily White Dove of s' wili hover over your will?

Miss Elizabeth Schweitzer and Ed- ward J. Sheehey rendered solos which were pleasing and well received. Father Winters’ Remarks. The last speaker of the evening was Rev. John T. Winters, chaplain of the society. The speaker made brief re- marks ifi which he said he was proud to be the paspor of such a fine body of men and also to be its chaplain. He urged the members to assist him in the new athletic field to be opened on Stanley street next spring. James and George Lynch favored with xylophone solos to repeated en- cores.
