Time Change Makes Many Persons Late Shift to Daylight Saving Depletes Church Congregations, Worries Information Clerks Daylight saving came into effect Sunday, auspiciously, as 'they ay. Not only were men late for, or absent from, church Sunday morning on account of the change of time, but girls and women were, too.

One young woman awoke to see the haniis of the clock point 6 a. m. Thinking that meant 7 o'clock, daylight saving time, she went back to sleep until 9 o'clock so that she would be on tlnis for the 8 o'clock service. She awoke again at 11 o'clock, standard tlniCj and attended the theater few hours later. Perhaps those who most enjoyed the change from sun to flat time were those happy individuals, the information clerks at the railroad tatlon, One, Charles Bradley, played so hard at the new game that perspiration rolled (town in rivulets from his cheeks.

All he did was answer telephone Inquiries coming in over five line and show courteous attention to a never-ending crowd that herded before the Information counter. "What's the matter with the service here?" demunded one young lady, rushing furiously at the counter which separates the information booth from the wailing room of the depot. "I've been trying to get you on the telephone for three hours to find out about the change In schedules. See here, if it's 6:42 here. Clerk Hears Comments.

Like thousands of others the young lady immediately commenced to Inform the distracted clerk of all the knowledge, gossip, superstitions, hy-iwtheses, reasons for and against, conclusions as a result of, and comments pertaining to daylight saving time. The clerk listened as lie answered his five telephone lines, his clients at the counter and his recipients of the thousands of time-tables distributed during the day. "No," ald the lolly faced train caller, stationed in the center of the vaulted waiting room, "there has been hardly any confusion at all. It has been wonderful this year." At theaters It was noticed that mast audiences arrived on time. There were some couples, it was learned by careful investigation, who came to the box office to find that the last show had started almost an hour ago.

Trolley cars gave no trouble at all during the early part of the day. Their schedules had been moved ahead just an hour, so that forgetful ones took a trolley an hour later te discover their belatedness at their destination. But at night, when pleasure's rounds were run, as they used to sing, the last car was missed by miftiy. Finally, one thing, at least, was on time. It rained Sunday night as forecast.

Thompson Is Annoyed Hy Practical Joker Earl Thompson, of 3 Rose Street, who on one or two previous occasions has been the victim of practical Jokers, found on Sunday evening that romeone was impersonating him once more. Bhortly after 7 o'clock a telephone call came he supposed from headquarters of the Visiting Nurse Association, informing Mr. Thompson that it was impossible to secure a nurse for Mrs. Thompson at once.

Daly, Appointed Substitute Carrier in 18SS, Has Had Two Beats in Career Taylor Commends Faithful Service Refused Promotion to Stay on Farmington Avenue Work Delivered 4 Million Pieces After tramping nearly 150.000 miles his 41 years of service, Thomas F. Daly, dean of Hartford mail carriers, ends his pedestrian labors for the government today, retired.

Appointed a substitute carrier in 1888 and a regular three months later the same year, Mr. Dalv has had only two routes. The first of these was the business section along Main Street; THOMAS F. DALY. the second which the retiring carrier maintained lor 35 years was in the western section of the city.

Farming-ton Avenue aad cross streets. Almost as tremendous as the total load of mail which Mr. Daly has carried estimated to exceed 4,000,000 letters and parcels have been the changes wrought in this city during the span of years since the carrier started his service. Many Changes in City. Starting under Postmaster Charles C.

Chapman, In the administration of President Harrison the mail man who reaches the age of 65 Tuesday, went out into a city of 60.000, a city in which the newest wonder of science was the horse car which was being inaugurated then on Farming-ton Avenue. The latter street, which he covered from Hopkins Street to Prospect Avenue, was then an avenue of magnificent residences, private dwellings of the city's wealthy. Today the old splendor has faded, the horse cars have vanished: the families which looked forward 'to the daily chat with the faithful carrier have removed and have been replaced by apartment dwellers. And the route itself has been shortened, comprising r.ow onlv the cross streets, Woodland, Niles. Gillette and North and South Marshall streets.

The devotion of Mr. Daly to his route is evidenced in the following instance. A few years ago a foreman-ship of the supervisory grade became vacant. Postmaster Harry K. Tavlor offered the 'lost to 'Mr.

Daly. The latter, proud of his record and thinking more of his friends alone the route than of nromotion, refused to accept the position. Devotion To Route. "No better carrier walks out of the Hartford office." was Mr. Taylor's comment at that time.

"Mr. Daly has an important route which he chase 1 himself years aeo and which he has covered with efficiency and faithfulness." That the carrier's devotion to his route was real Is shown in the attitude of people who once received mail from the pouch of Mr. Daly. The tenor of a number of letters received bv Postmaster Tavlor from peonle who moved from the avenue sounded regret, that Mr. Daly could not be moved with them.

Born in 1864. Mr. Daly has served durinct the administrations of nine nresidents. Seven postmasters have been his superiors, the 11 Mr. Chapman.
