the centre Of distraction, and at one time
the crowd was so great on Chesnut street
that it was almost impossible to pass.
CALCIUM lights were thrown on the his

brilliant as in the day time. The illumi.
nation was continued until midnight.

WE have received copy Of a paper
called the Catholie lisssengT, monthly
enterprise recently started at Parkers'
burg. Itispublished in quarto form, is
respectfully got up, and looks like a prom.
ising sheet. Its price is rs cents year.
Now that we have snch paper in the
diocese, it srikes.us as little odd that
IL should ot,haye been Issued from Epis.
copal headquarters. Such we believe ia
the general custom. The iaithfulseemto
be more enterprisihg down atPmkersburg
than hereabouts.
The Messenger does not deal largely IN
editorial. Perhaps it does not aim TO be
very pronounced in that direction. II
briefly discusses in the present number
the proposition that Catholics can be
good citizens OF every civil government
on earth" This discussion it concludes
by an affirmation that Catholics "were
certainly the first who gave to the breeze
the banner of universal freedom, both
civil and religious, in North America" ;"
This affirmation is the same that we no.
ticed in connection with the receipt OF a
copy Of the Cathode RerieU the other day.
It involves the issue made by Mr.. Glad
stone In his elaborate discussion Of Papal
infAllibility and kindred questions. II
involves also the point we sought to make
in commenting on the Reris~'' article
viz: that Il it was the Inspiration oil
Lord Baltimore's religion TO decree civil
and religious freedom in an American
colony, why is it not an inspiration o.
the same religion to give religious free
dom to Spain? UT

New York, May l0.-The special com
mittee on the matter Of Henry G. Bower
reported to the Business Committee o.
Plymouth Church tonight that they had
found several Of the charges against him
sustained, and that he is guilty otequivo'
cation, and they recommend the severes,
penalty Of censure.
Brother Shearman then read the re-
port OF the Examining Committee, after
which Clerk Tilney presented the resolu'
ton OF the special committee, that
Henry q. Bowen having been guilty OF
violation OF the covenant and unchristian
conduct and equiyocation, be excommu,
nicated and cast out from the fellowshir
Of the church.
DR.. Ward, who appeared with Bowen
and the latter's son, asked for one weeks
adjournment to answer.
Clerk Tilney here said that the defense
had closed.
DR.. Ward Indignantly exclaimed thai
he never knew Of case being closed in 1
Congregational church on the report OF I
committee. 1t was the church that should
act. ..-I.
Mr.. Shearman then proposed that
Bowen should tell what he claimed to
know, tonight, In the presence Of Pratt,
chairman Of the special committee, and
Beecher.
Mr.. Ward said that they still wanted
to keep the name Of any lady implicated
in the matter secret, and Bowen was ad
yised not to meet Prattor Beecher e1
cept In the presence OF third person.
Mr.. Shearman moved that. Bowen
withdraw with Pratt, Healy or Beecher
and tell what he knows.
Bowen said he was ready 10 NEE
Beecher in christian way and put NJ
restrictions on reporting what he told
A motion was made that Bowen go asid'
with his son or Ward, when Pratt ant
Healey declined, and then Bowen Offered
to tell all to DR.. Taylor, Of Broadwa!
Tabernacle, in the presence Of Beecherl
the former not to tell anything except II

A hot discussion eusued, during which
Dr.. Ward was expelled for insulting th'
meeting, and the resolution as TO Dr.
Taylor was carried. A motion to expe

tion." As an incident to this project ii has
been mooled whether it would not
be good idea to turn over to
the Home the Soldiers Monument
fund as 1t is called. This fund now
amounts to some seven thousand dollars,
and q the acoretipn Of fund left over
from the great Sanitary Fair in lSel.
Before we had Children's Home in our
midst /. was determined that this fund
and its accreiions should some day be de-
voted to building asoldier's monument at
an eligible point In or near the city.
That day does not seem TO have come as
yet, and perhaps it is as remote in The
minds Of its friends as we're the charita.
BILE plans Of Mr.. A. T. Stewart! when he
died. They know that 4 soldiers mOnu-
ment Of imposing dimensions will cost a
great deal Of money, and any other sort
ofa monument would bs'like "mediccre
poetryr in the eyes Of the Latin critic,
"something that neither Gods nor men
can endure"
But while seven thousand dollars is a
small sum as separate fund for anything
worthy TO be called Soldiers Monu-
ment, II would be an important adjunct
as part Of an endowment fund for char
ity like the Ghildrens Home. Atsthis
time 1t wouldbe especially important q
the nucleus d a fund, for is not i'm.
probable that there are number OF do
nations that would, as Mark Twain ex-
presses it, speedily build to such a nu-
cleus as this, and thus swell 1t, in a
short time, 10 very respectable fund. In
other words, it is not improbable that ii
the fund referred to was turned over to
the Home it would operate as new de-
parture in its history, and by "molecu-
lar attraction" as II were, draw some
handsome contributions from the public.
