OF scandal to the Church IN the event OF
such perversty being manifested In the Council.
But the Cardinal had no more favorable reception

Insanity of the Catholic Bishop Of Chicago.
The Chicago Post states that the Right Rev. James
Duggan, Bishop of the diocese OF Chicago, is now
in sad state of mental afictlon, and the rumor
which for some time past has prevailed among Ca
thoic circles Is at last confirmed. For some time
past the least reference to local church matters has
strangely agtated him. and this dates back to his first
return from Rome last August The excitement IN
creased 80 that his household at last were careful
not to refer to such matters In his presence. The
fear Of some coming danger impressed itself strongly
upon mis- mind and kept him wakeful 9th DAY and
night. When, a few weeks ago, Archbishop Ken.

Louis, both for the latters health and In order that
he the Archbishop might have matters under MS
personal supervision.
TO this Or. Duggan agreed, but when all was
ready and he was crossing the threshold to the car
riage he suddenly drew back. saying that Kenrick
wished to get him arrested and retired to his pri.
vate room. The idea that he has been convicted Of
some. serious crime has for long time filed his
brain, and he believes the officers to be watching
without for him, TO seize him the moment he shall
emerge. Though on ordinary matters he Is rational,

This sad case Is connected unpeasantly with the
ecclesiastical war Of last year between the Bishop
and the parish priests, whose removal was the re-
suit and IN one instance the death OF one OF them
(Dr Dunne), whose proud heart could not brook the
supposed disgrace OF removal and reprlmand. and
whose death caused such an intense feeling among
his flock and the Catholic people OF the city gener
ally. SO great was this feeling that at the funeral
services the Bishop did not deem 1t advisable to ap-
