IRELAND'S STRUGGLE
FOR LIBERTY
Sacred Concert and Lecture on St. Patrick
at St. Charles' Hall Tomorrow
Evening.
A sacred concert and lecture will be
given Sunday evening. March 14 in St.
Charles' hall. The lecturer will be
Rev. T. P. Sweeney, Fall River. Mass..
and his subject: "Ireland's Struggle
for the Faith."
The subject itself is full of absorb
ing interest. Modern history has no
parallel for the sufferings of the Irish
nation during the 17th century. By
law Protestantism was the only relig
ion tolerated. Catholics were exclud
ed, as such from both houses of the
Legislature and gradually severer en
actments deprived them entirely of
the elective rights of its members! Per
fidy, oppression and insolence created
rebellion and what armed force could
not of itself accomplish, avarice stim
ulated by the greed of confiscated es
tates, sought in some instances to in
vite loyalty to the crown.
Not content with the deprivation of
their landed interests and the disfran
chisement of their elective rights for
refusing to kneel as a vassal state to
England the misery of Ireland was
further intensified by a relentless re
ligious persecution; and an armed
lorce tried yet in vain to rule the
Catholic hearts of Irishmen even as
it did their homes. This is Ireland's
struggle to maintain the faith and the
subject of this lecture is full of absorb
ing interest. Irish descendants can
ask their fathers and they will a tale
to them unfold, how the priest was a
hunted creature among the hills and
the same price was on his head as that
of a wolf. .It was a crime to say
mass. It was a crime to attend divine
worship and the base profession of the
informer was fostered by the promise
of reward.
In education too, Catholics suffered
from legal disabilities. None could
study at the universities but those
who took the oaths. It was a crime
for a Catholic to teach even in a pri
vate family. To be educated abroad.
was outlawry. The child who was
sent, suffered the loss of his property
and those who sent him incurred imprisonment.
A lecture on these things is full or
interest to all Irishmen. A fine pro
gram of Moore's melodies will add to
the evening s intellectual treat.

Howard E. Marshall a well known
business man of Greenwich and also a
justice of the peace there was freed
from his wife May E. Marshall at
present of Los Angeles, Cal. The cou
pie were married Dec. 25, 1894 at
White Plains. N. Y.. and immediate
ly went to house keeping in Greenwich
The couple took in two boarders one of
them a second cousin to Mrs. Mar
shall. It soon came to the notice of
the hubby that Mrs. Marshall exhibit
ed undue attention to her cousin. The
husband remonstrated and told his
wife to get rid of the star boarder.
Mrs. Marshall said that if the boarder
left she would leave also. The board
er left on the request of Mr. Marshall
and was followed a month later which
was April 8. 1904 by Mrs. Marshall. Ev
idence was brought to show the court
that the erring wife did not intend to
return east.
Julia Kosma a domestic of this city
while working in Fairfield, kept com
pany with Frank Kosma whom she
believed to be but 28 years old but
who in reality was 40. They were
married by Rev. Frank S. Child of
Fairfield and soon came to Bridge
port to live. Mrs. Kosma was sur
prised one day to receive a visit from
a young man who represented himself
as a son to her husband. On lnves
tigation she learned that the story of
the young man was true ana tnat nis
mother was still living. She went for
her husband and told him that she
would not live with him any more.
Two weeks later the husband sailed
for Hungary fearing arrest. There
was plenty of evidence brought out in
court that Kosma was married to Ju
lia Szatmari in 1875, had five children
and was not living with his first wife
The plaintiff was allowed a decree and
the right to assume her maiden name.
Considerable surprise was expressed
in the court room when Charles F
Holly an elderly resident of Long
Ridge asked for a divorce from Hattie
A. Holly on the grounds of desertion.
The couple were married in March
1876 and lived together for over 29
vears. The only reason that the plain
tiff could give for the desertion was
that Mrs. Holly could not stand the
loneliness of Long Ridge and wanted
to get to Stamford where she had
friends. The plaintiff could not see
how she could escape loneliness in
Stamford. The court granted the de
cree. Mary E. Keating of this city mar
ried Morris F. Martin in April 1904.
Morris claimed he was engineer on a
train but he was a brakeman. He
drank to excess and soon after the
marriage took a dislike to his better
half. The plaintiff attached her hus
band's wages a year after they were
married and he left her, his present
whereabouts being unknown. The
plaintiff was allowed to resume her
maiden name of Keating.

To-day the conditions are admirable

Several hundred dollars worth of these

underwriters will soon turn the wreck
over to the government and she will

Slight disturbances are central this

or snow in nearly all sections east of
the Rocky Mountains.
Dizziness A
Danger Signal
Forerunners of More Seri
ous Conditions of the
Alimentary Tract
Invariably flatulence and dizziness
indicate the beginning of serious trou
bles, stomach and intestine troubles
usually follow which sooner or later
develop symptoms of an alarming na
ture. Catarrh of the stomach, gas
tritis, constipation, piles, liver troubles
and a general break-down of the
health usually follow these symptoms
when left to run their full course.
When the stomach is not performing
its proper duty the rest of the system
is sure to suffer. As it is a well known
fact that the stomach feeds the rest of
the body and organs, therefore many
other diseases may arise, either di
rectly or indirectly from disorder of
the stomach.
Whenever there is the slightest in
dication of flatulence or dizziness no
ticed it should be cared for at once
that it may not develop more danger
ous symptoms. Charcoal is an excel
lent remedy for the stomach, relieving
flatulence by absorbing the poisonous
gases that accumulate in the stomach,
and aiding digestion and assimilation;
it has a specific action upon this or
gan, and a very rapid and positive ac
tion on the system in general.
Charcoal has been used for several
thousand years, both as a stomach
regulator and an antidote for poisons
taken in the stomach. The success of
charcoal is unquestionable. The only
remaining question is to get charcoal
in the most convenient and palatable
form. The F. A. Stuart Co. manufac
ture a charcoal lozenge composed of
young willow wood charcoal and pure
honey, making this val"able product
convenient, palatable and perfectly
harmless. A sample will be sent up
on request, or Stuart's Charcoal Tabl
lets can be had at any drug store.

The blood is rightly

In an adult the blood averages eighteen
pounds or fully one-eighth of the entire weight.
It is composed of liquids and solids.
The liquid portion is a watery, albuminous
fluid amounting to about three-fifths of the whole.
Minute particles, known as blood corpuscles,
constitute the remaining two-fifths.
There are both red and white corpuscles, the
red ones greatly outnumbering the white.
The red corpuscles contain, as an active in
gredient, a chemical substance having iron in
its composition.
There are millions of white blood corpuscles,
which protect the red blood corpuscles and bodily
tissues from disease germs, to which you are more
exposed at this season than at any other.
Healthy blood is pure blood, and at no season
is it more necessary than in the spring.
Hood's Sarsaparilla makes healthy blood.
It is the medicine that purifies and enriches
the blood and makes it normal in red and white

WALL STREET TO-DAY.
11 a. m. Business was the slowest so
far this year. The trading element on
the floor was disposed to keep off the
long side of the market and sales by
some of the professionals were effec

the end of the hour the tone was list
less. A few specialties including American
Ice and U. S. Realty in which there is
a narrow market moved up with some
show of strength in the second hour
but the Standard issues showed no
change from the conditions that pre
vailed during the first hour and at the
close the market remained dull with
prices generally a shade under yester

Must Do So If They Would
Evade Will of City De
manding Grooved Rails.
The Street committee, at its meeting
last night formulated? its report to the
Council, in which it recommends that
the Connecticut Company be ordered
to lay grooved rails on the streets
about to be paved; that public service
corporation be ordered to make all
permanent Improvements contemplated
in the streets before the pavement Is
put down; and that property owners
be required to have their curbs chang
ed by April 1.
Under the new charter permanent
pavements cannot 'be disturbed by the
gas, water, electric light and telephone
companies until five years after they
are laid, for the purpose of making' im
provements. The Connecticut Co. will be obliged
to appeal to the Railroad Commission
if it desires to lay "T rails.
'Supt.. C. H. Chapman of the Connec
ticut Co. when asked this morning if
the company would appeal to the Rail
road Commission should the Council
ad'opt the committee's report, said) he
did not care to discuss the matter.
Section 3829 of the General Statutes
read's as follows: "No street railway
company shall lay its tracks in any
highway, or make any change in the
location of its tracks already laid or
in the grade thereof, until after the
order of the selectmen authorizing the
same shall have been lodged for rec
ord in the town clerk's office. Any
such company may at any time lodge
any such order for record with the
town clerk.
Section 3830 reads: "The Railroad
Commissioners, subject to the right of
appeal (to Superior court) as provided
in Section 3834, shall have exclusive
jurisdiction over the method of con
struction or reconstruction in whole or
In part of every street railwaty in the
State, the power of designating the
kiad and quality of track to be used
and? the method of laying the same."
The Common Council, under the act
consolidating the town and city, suc
ceeds the selectmen.
Supt. Chapman appeared before the
committee last night in the interest of
"T" rails, w-hich he said were the saf
est and made the best riding for the
patrons of trolley lines. City Engineer
McKenna appeared with drawings of
both kinds of rails and' models of the
same.
ACCUSES MAN OF

Tragedy.
(Special from United Press.
Newark, N. J., March 13. Though
the police have 13 men under arrest on
suspicion of being implicated in the
murder of Father An stone of the St.
Stanislaus Catholic church in Newark,
they aire today working' harder than,
ever on the case in the belief that at
least half of the membership of the
church is involved in a gigantic con
spiracy to make way with Father An-
bi one.
Antonina Sabzylka, Father Aneione's
housekeeper, who na shot by the mur
derers of the priest, has declared that
William Olsefski. one of the suspects,
was positively one of the four men who
visited the parlor of the rectory last
Wednesday and shot Father Ansione
to death. She picked him out of a
long line of men and declared that she
was sure of her Identification by rea
son of the man's height and complexion.

The Web of Venice.
In Venice one is as if caught in an
immense network, or spider's web,
which, as one walks in its midst, seems
to tighten the closer about one. The
streets narrow overhead, push outward
with beams and stone balconies and
many turning angles; seem to loosen
their hold for a moment where a bridge
crosses a narrow canal between high
walls and over dark water and then
tighten again in close lanes where the
smells of 'the shops meet and fume
about one's face. The lanes are busy
with men in rough clothes and with
women in shawls, bareheaded and with
great soft bushes of hair, who come
and go quietly, slipping past one anoth
er in these narrow spaces, where there
is hardly room to pass, as the gondolas
slip past one another in the narrow
canals. The road is difficult to find,
for a single wrong turning may lead
one to the other end of "Venice. This
