After the regular routine busipess was completed Rev. W. A. Keefe of Plainfield, county director of the Holy Name, gave an interesting stereopticon lecture on Patriotism and the industrial development of the country. Rev.

In speaking on the industrial develo; ment Rey. Keefe took his audience by means of the lantern to Washington, D. C., where one saw the nation’s cap- itol, the place where the congress and many other places of interest. Next one visited New York and saw many views pertaining to the industrial side of the great city. Views of all the large cities of the west were shown, including Buffalo, Chicago and San Francisco. Rev. Keefe spoke very fn- terestingly on all the points touched as he has personally made the trip several times. In closing Rev. Keefe made several remarks on the good work of the local soclety and the in- creasing need of new members. A large audience heard Rev. Keefe and expressed their pleasure at hearing so able a speaker. The first Friday masses for the ben- efit of the Sacred Heart will be held beginning next Friday. Making the Most of Ourselves. At the Greeneville Congregational church Sunday morning Rev. C. H.

GAGER Funeral Director ‘and Embalmer Prompt service day or night Lady Assistant THE - STORY OF TUS 23 TN b Large Congregation Heard Interesting Narrative by Frank P. Chisholm at Methodist Church—Plantation Melodies by Colored Quintette. . The story of Tuskegee, the Alabama institute that has worked wonders with the colored populace of,the south dur- ing its 35 years of existence, was in- terestingly told by Frank P. Chisholm, a member of the institute faculty, be- fore a very large congregation in Trin. {ity Methodist Episcopal church Sun. day evening. In addition to Mr. Chi holm’s talk, there were old plantation melodies and hymns by a quintette of colored singers, all of whom possess excellent voices. The service was opened by the pas- tor of the church, Rev. Frederick W. Colemad, who introduced Mr. Chisholm as the speaker. Three hundred years ago the white man came to the new world and took the land away from the Indlan, sald Mr. Chisholm, and then, after a while, they went to Africa and stole some negroes. The nesro was brought here against his will. From the score of slaves brought to America in 1619 the population of the negro race in this country has grown to about ten mil- lions at the present time. Tuskegee institute, organized in July, 1881, by the late Booker T. Washing. ton,’is 35 years old. When the insti- tute was organized Mr. Washington was the only teacher. The school was startea without land and no capital whatever. We can now boast of 193 teachers, said Mr. Chisholm. Thirty- five years ago we had only one build- ing, “We now have over 100, nearly all of brick construction. The brick was made in our brickyards by students. The students do the woodwork, the painting and plumbing under the su- pervision of competent leaders. From a very small membership the student body has grown to 1,700 young men and women. Thirty-five years ago the institute did not own an inch of land. It now owns 4,500 acres of land. Counting students and teachers, etc., there are now over 2,000 people at the institute, and every one of these is col- ored. The only white men connected with the institution serve on the board of directors, and they live in New York and Chicago the greater part of the time. Tuskegee itself is an eloquent story of negro progress. It clearly demon- strates the possibilities of the Ameri- can negro. It has been built up strict- 1y through the efforts of trained negro leaders. Thirty-five years ago Dr. Washing- ton found the negro of the south lead- ing a hand to mouth existence. From the beginning the institute has sought to supply all forms of education. In connection with the trade work they give training in farming. The insti- tute has a farm of 1,000 acres from which they annually raise a crop of sufficient size to provide the wants of the school. In fact, sald Mr. Chisholm, we raise everything but one thing, aud that one thing is a disturbance. You will find young women workin, as well as young men, he continued. At Tuskegee we believe in woman's rights. Yes, we belleve that a woman has just as much right to work on a farm as & man. We are also teaching cooking at Tuskegee. Tuskegeo graduates may be found all over the southland. The demand for our graduates is five times larger than the eupply. The labor class of the southland today is the negro race, and Tuskegee is endeavoring to in- crease the efficiency of these people. 1f_you should come to the south I would like you to visit our banks. Do you know that we now have 63 negro banks? Fifty vears ago hardly 2 per cent. of our people were able to read or write. Today 70 per cent. of our people can read and write. As far as property ownership is concerned, the negro etarted at zero. Today he ls paying taxes on $600,000,000 worth of property. In all directions the nesro is making rapid progress. But in spite of this fact there are backwoods edu- catlonal conditions in the south. This problem is by no means solved. The encouraging fact, however, is that we are going forward and eventually we will solve this great problem. Mr. Chisholm then went on to speak of the great need of financlal ald in order to carry on the work at the in- stitute. Following his talk, a collection was taken up for the benefit of the insti- tute. Many visiting members of the local churches were numbered in the attendance. RICHARD SCHELLENS SAYS CHARGES WERE EXAGGERATED Groton Man Explains Charges Ag: Bulgarian Government. st Richard Schellens of Groton, for- merly with the relief commission of Lady Paget in Serbia, who was quoted after his return to this country on Feb. 23 on the Tuscania, said Saturday that the report of his charges against the Bulgarians had been exaggerated, so as to create an utterly false im- pression. He said: “I had a very definite object In view both in London and on the-Tuscania when T discussed the situation in Ma- cedonia_with representatives of the press. Mrs. Edward Stuart, the pres- ident of the American Red Cross com- mittee for Relief in Serbian Macedo- nia, asked me to communicate to the press on my arrival in London the fact that the Bulgarian general staff had refused our committee permission to distribute relief in those parts of Serbia occupied by the Bulgarian troops. I also gave what I considered their reason for this refusal. I said that they wished to conceal their methods of dealing with the conquer- ed Serbian population and that they had very good reason for wishing to do so. Before coming to Sofia I had for two months been engaged in relief work at Uskub under Lady Paget and had become tolerably familiar with the cruel and cppressive nature of the measures taken by the Bulgar- ian administrative authorities in deal- ing with the Serbs. “These are the only two points T wished to make—the Bulgarian re- fusal to allow us to proceed, and the reason for this refusal. I have been very careful to avoid scattering in- discriminate charges of atrocity—in fact, both in London and on the Tus- cania, I insisted that T had not been present at a single atrocity case. But T did condemr, as T now condemn, the barbarity of the Bulgarian policy t ward a helpless and wretched peopl FOREIGN MISSION GIFTS. Reached Sum of $18,793,000 During 1915, a New Record For Protestant Organizations. In spite of the war 1915 was the biggest year of gifts to forelgn mis- sions in American history, according to figures compiled for the Conference of Foreign Mission Boards, of which Dr. Fred P. Hazzard of Boston is chairman, and reported Saturday. Gifts to foreign missions through the various Protestant missionary organizations of the United States and Canada last year totalled $18,793,- 000, being more than a million and a hal® over the foreign mission gifts of 1914, and more than a million over the best previous year — 1912—when Protestants in the two countries gave $17.317,366 to the cause. ‘The biggest aggregate of gifts came through ~the Presbyterian Board, which totalled $2,262,061. ‘This board supports 200 missionaries and 5,863 native workers in the field. The Baptist and Protestant Episco- ral boards cleared off large debts in addition to carrying on their regular work. One hundred and ninety-two boards and societies are represented in the conference and are supporting 10,497 missionaries in the foreign field. These missionaries minister to 1,175,- 000 in heathen lands who have been converted to Christianity. These con- verts gave to the work of evangeliza- tion last year $4,541,982 Local Cadets Attended Installation. The New London St. Joseph's Tier- ney Cadets held a special meeting in St. Joseph's hall on Montauk avenue Sunday evening at 7 o'clock .County Director William H. McGuinness of Norwich installed the new officers.

It was through the efforts of Mr. Bidwell that this exten- sion was granted, At Hebron, Mrs. Clayton Lord has been badly poisoned on her arms and hands. The poison is supposed to have come from poisoned elder that was cut by mistake and put in with the other wood. $80,000 TO AID THE SMALLER TOWNS State Has Distributed That Sum From Treasury During the Last 13 Years During the last 13 years that Con- necticut has been aiding different towns of the state in paying off the indebtedness on rallroad bonds for transportation fmprovements, the state has distributed nearly $80,000, accord- ing to information brought out at the last meeting of the board of control. The discussion arose in connection with the discussion of Old Saybrook's financial conditions, and the town was allowed $250 to assist in baying off its_indebtedness this year. The law under which this money was pald was passed at the season of 1903 in response to an appeal from towns which bonded themselves to en- courage the building of railroads, and ‘which had not paid off the bonds. The payment of the bonds had become a financial burden on the towns and they were felt ot be a hardship in many in- stances. The law provided that the state should pay ofie per cent. every vear of the indebtedness. The town of Portland had the heav- fest load of debt with a railroad obli- gation of $275,000. Chatham came next, with a debt of $102,000. The town of Saybrook, which was paid $250 by the stats Wednesday, owed $25,000. ‘The help which the state has ren- dered the towns has been appreciated and has encouraged them to pay off the entire indebtedness. The law re- quires the towns to pay off a certain amount of the indebtedness every year. The reports that reach the state comptroller’s office show that some towns are doing even better than they are required to do under the law. They are not content to pay the amount specified in the statute, but go fur- ther. The authoritles of the state have reason to think that in a shorter time than was at first expected the entire indebtedness will be paid off. Some of the towns have been able to refund the bonds and in that way reduce the interest paid on them. This saving in interest has afforded ad- ditional financial relief, and it has added to the ability of the towns to pay oft bonds. UNCLE SAM'S OLDEST MAIL CARRIER Hartford Man H; the Postal Hartford has the oldest mail car- rier on Uncle Sam’s roll. He is Wil- liam H. Shaffer, 74 years old, 45 years in the postal service, and a vet- eran of the Civil war, serving in a Pennsylvania regiment. He is still hale and hearty and doing active duty. In Washington, Thursday, Chair- man Moon of the house post office committee, filed in the house a report from the post office department to the effect that there were in the pos- tal service 1,248 carriers over sixty years of age. Hartford, he said, had nine; Middletown, Meriden, Norwich and ‘New Haven, two each; Bridge- port, New Britain, Norwalk and South Norwalk, one each. The report said that all but two of these aged Con- necticut carriers drew $1.200 a year; the others $1100 and $1.000 respec- tively. Been 45 Years in Service. Introduced Pension Bill.

The Norwich Nickel and Brass company are finding diffi- culty in securing their shipments on time. The demand. for brass is brought about 'through the manufacturing of munitions for the warringinétions. . .
