The Carson Appeal gives the follow
ing sketch of Miss Ellen McCabe, and
the circumstances attending her recent
conversion from the Catholic religion
to Judaism. The San Francisco Gtyon-
icte enormously designated the young
lady as Miss Ellen McGuffey. This
lady is a niece of Peter ~CavanauXh, of
this city; and since her early girlhood
she has made his house her home. For
some years past she has been living
here and working AT her trade OF dress
making. Her abandonment of the
creed and o~bservances to which she
has been brought up and her detern:-
ined Remuneration of a belief in the
Christian religion, exhibit a wonderful
degree of devotion to her husband The
account states that she, in accordance
with the rites of the Jewish Church,
made three several applications for adj
mission into that church before her
prayer was granted. Twice her petition
was rejected. Her confession Of faith
was publicly made to u Jewish Rabbi;
she was then baptized; then blessed,
and then awarded her certificate OF fell
lowship in the Jewish congregation.
This, on Thursday afternoon. On
Thursday night these twain were mar
ried by the same Rabbi who received
her into the church. Her baptism was
conducted by holy women, apart from
any man, she being entirely disrobed
before submitting to the ceremony,
which is done by immersing the nude
person in pure water. OF purse the
Cavanaugh family are greatly surprised
and grieved by this departure of their
relative from their common faith. The
mention OF another fact in connection
with this abbreviated account of
"Bosco's" marriage is no out Of order.
| The firm in which this newly made
bridegroom is a partner is Stern IL Bos4
kowitz, clothing merchants, Carson
street, Carson City. Some years ago,
MI. Stern, who Is also a Jew by birth,
married Miss Fern, a lazy of Irish par
entage and 4 strict Catholic. In this
case there was anything hut a resun-
ciaGiOn of her religious views upon the
part OF the bride: but, on the contrary,
| she adhered to her creed, and still does
adhere to the same, so strictly, indeed
that their children, of whom there are
two or three, or more, have all been
t,aptized i'm the Catholic faith. So thai
the firm Of Stern Il BOsk0witz Is COM
prised Of two gentlemen OF Jewish
| pcOIkIOO kAh't tthi RAO-
Sent the rather remarkable conditions
| Of q person of Jewish birth waving his
predictions in matters Of race and
| religion to marry = Catholic and a
| Catholic renonncing her religion to
marry a Jew. We doubt ii two more
notable cases Of a compromise Of reli-
gion in favor of the claims Of affection
and mateship can be instanced.
In our issue of the 18th, says the
| Reno Journal, we stated that Mr.. Stew
ens0n had secured a dett from Mr..
| Stewart of $500 10y an order on the State
Controller. This is a mistake-we
should have said $3.50. Mr.. Steven or
acknowledges the fact to the editor ol
| the Appeal. VIZ do not begrudge him
the small grain of comfort he can
gather from this correction, but would
like to know why he required from
Mr.. Stewart an order for $3.50.
The five hundred army overcoats
| promised to the Virginia Reliof Com
| imittee by General 81 eridan Tor the sui
| ferers by the fire, have arrived. They
| are now 1t the store-rOom OF h Relic
| Committee ready for distribution. They
J are Of the infantry pattern.
