Kew. Henry Lake, formerly OF st, Anu's
Church, in Twelfth street, and who. il
will be remembered, was, during the hrs
few years succeeding his accession to
the Roman Catholic priesthood, fierce in
denouncing the public school system
ana warm in supporting the Papacy,

that during his visit to Lorraine, some
time since, Father Lake made the ac.

On returning to this country ne left the
Paullst Fathers and became o secular
priest, being attached as such to the
Church of st. AIMS of which Father

friends of the young clergyman admit
that he has gone to California, but the
church members are inexpiessibIy
shocked at The occurrence and have
made superhuman efforts to suppress
the scandal. At St. Ann's Church men,

NEW YORK is again agitated over it's
scant supply OF water. Somehow water
seems to be giving a great deal of
trouble this year-almost as much
as beer did last. Philadelphia, New
York and San Francisco, are trying
to carry out projects for more adequate
supply. Fraud has crept into the man.
agement of the water departments of
each of these cities, and tax payers are
trying to devise means to secure less
swindling and more water. Atlanta,
Georgia, Jersey City, and any number
OF smaller places, are about in the same
fix. San Francisco has two or three
schemes for more water, with big job
in each. The water ring of Philadel-
phia has a nice scheme set up, and
is at work to secure the cooperation of
the other branches of the city govern.
ment in order to eifectually carry it out.
Those who are most interested assert
that "there's millions in it," and nearly
all for the municipal plunderers. New
York has spent immense sums on it's
Water-works, yet every year the supply
runs so scant as to almost cause a water
panic. During the dry spell three years
ago the water department was compelled
to shut off the supply for large factories
and issue a request to families to use as
little as possible, and it was understood
that had fire reached any headway at
that time there could have been no way
OF saving the city. New York is con-
vinced that another great undertaking
must be commenced soon, and that there
can not be much delay. But her ex-
perience has been SO unfortunate in the
past that large taxpayers, while ac-
knoWleding the pressing necessity OF the
case, hesitate to encourage what will be
sure Of proving such rich harvest for
the jobbers, and be the means to such an
extent of fleeing the city. 1t has come
to be understood that it is almost impos-
'ible to have any kind of public work
done at what it should really cost, and
.he building of Water. works is sure to
De attended with grand swindle.
