The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-02-04

before Kinsella's wandering fancy was
attracted to the wife Of the present SUI
perintendent of public schools. Thus
again did HE adulteries fall within the
scope Of the Board Of Education, Of
which he was, and still is, member:
Mrs. Field and he kept up q
vicious relation for two years. occasional
~ interrupted by Mrs. Kinsella's exhibi- |
ton Of revolver, and Mr.. Fields threat
to put his wife in q mad-house. While
still under the Field regime, Kinsella
entered one of the public schools in the
vertiginous stage of inebricty, and;placing
his cigar upon the school Bible, called,
rather too ingeneously, for brandy-and-
water. The refreshment was not pro-
duced, and kinsella proceeded to execrate
in no mild or stated phrases, the incom-
pleteness Of school system which did
not provide such luxuries for an official
visitor. Of course the male principal re-
sented this impeachment of his hospit:ll'
ty, and an outrageous scene followed.
Bowen, who was at the time editing the
Union after fashion of his own, cordial
| ly detested Kinsella for his arrogance,
and, perhaps, for his success. Of course
the brandy and water episode provided at
| least an alcoholic fame for his boilers,
and for two weeks he kept ranming away
at his adversary with full head OF steam.
So vigorous was Bowen, and SO numerous
| were Kinsella's enemies, that shortly q
mass meeting was convened, and the
Academy of Music overlooked with pro-
tests against Kinsella's behavior. Now.
MARK WHAT FOLLOWS:
Henry Ward Beecher was asked to speak
and consented =; but. at the last moment,
without giving any reason, shut himself
up in his bedroom and refused access to
the Committee which waited upon him.
Mr.. Beecher had been notified by has
present champion, the editor OF the Ed-
gle, that he had the true story Of the
Bescher- 7ilton case in has table dra,cer.
Just after the meeting, while the pro-
tests Of the community were still ringing
iu his ear, Kinsella, by appointment, met
Mrs. Field at a tavern in the outskirts of
Brooklyn. Their interview was, all Of a
sudden, interrupted by the frantic intru-
sion of Mrs. Kinsella, who slapped her ri.
walls face, and then, finging open the
doors, called upon some score OF her hus'
bands constituents to gaze upon on
adulterer and his paramour.
You can imagine with what grateful
alacrity Bowen seized upon the chance his
enemy had afforded him. The Union
fairly bristled with sensational head.
lines. Everybody was interviewed,
from the tavern-hostlers upward. The

and dusty silks. Meanwhile, Kinsella
who is not by any means Of heroic
strain, fed to Albany, and there began t.
arrange for an elopement to Europe, no
daring to return to Brooklyn and fac

New York, and, in hiding at the st. Nc
Of olas Hotel, awaited the explosion of II
