Two prosecutions have been instituted
against two priests for saying Mass in place
where they had no official position. The first
case was in May, when Herr Koenig, parish
priest in Breslau, said Macs on the occasion of
the interment of his uncle. The second case
was of q Bavsrian assistant priest, MetzneT,
who said Mass upon the occasion of the inter
ment of his own father Both said Mass at q
eide altar, while one of the local parish clergy
men was celebrating the regular naissG de re-
sGiean at the high altar. Preliminary police
inquiries are being made. public official
Herr Forster, who is brother.in-law to the first
mentioned clergyman, has been summoned te
give evidence for the prosecution. The inhu
1aanity, to cay the least, of all these proceed
ines needs no comment.

MAILS BY THE JACKSON RAILRoAD-We hear
great deal of complaint about the delay in
the mail by this route, there being scarcely
day that it is not two or three hours late. But
our merchants should know that the fault does
not lie with the jackson Railroad, the trains of
which have to wait at Milan, from one to five
hours, for the mails from the connecting line
above. The local trains are nearly always on
time, and we have no doubt the mail would be
so, if the lines beyond their Jurisdiction made
close connections as they should do.

visitor was some one who was trying
to humbug him, Mr.. Brownlee soon for

his farm as usual when one day afterward
he was called to the house, and there found
the same individual, who, 20 his further
astonishment, presented him with
clear deed to the promised property, in
the VISITORS name, and told him that IL
had been drawn up in that manner in or

name of the true giver. He then told
him TO ask no further questions, but that
he might expect to be visited again next
fall by a party of workmen who would
procure material and build for him a
comfortable house on the premises. The
stranger would answer no questions. and
would talk no further than TO say that he

the present to be incog.
Shortly after he left, Mr.. Brownlee re-

From New York to the Mississippi
River in Twenty-fOur Hours.

THE following analysis of the time made
by the famous trans continental fast train
over the Chicago & Northwestern Rail
way, between Chicago and Omaha plain
ly indicates that the general average time
made by this train, from its starting-point,
suffered no shrinkage at the hands of the
management of the popular Northwestern !;
ard it must be gratifying to every true
Chicagoan to find that they possess in the
above road Western line over which
equally as fast time can be safely made
as any of the boasted fast time hitherto
claimed by the Eastern lines as an Incl
dent to the superiority of their roads over
Western lines. Time was when this claim
could have been allowed, but now that
the Chicago 81 Northwestern Railway,
with its well-ballasted roadbeds, equipped
with steel rails, and all modern appliances,
can be compared favorably with any
model road in the East, there is no longer
any reason for the Eastern lines claiming
a monopoly in fast running. The con-
densed time given below shows the leav-
ing and arriving time of this fast train at
terminal stations; the speed per hour he
tween stations, and the speed per hour
for the distance run, over the Chicago u
Northwestern Railway:

A Good Fairy.

IT is one thing to be fortunate and an
other to deserve the smiles of the tickle
goddess, and when a case occurs where
one who is in every way worthy a wind
fall, receives an unexpected present in the
shape of farm, without knowing the
name of the donor, that case should be re.
corded and kept as one of the good things
that may be brought about by previous
good behavior. such a case came TO our
knowledge yesterday, the recipient being
a young farmer whose name is Leslie
Brownlee, the circumstances of which are
about as follows: Some time last April,
young Brownlee, who is the head of a
small family, and lives about twelve miles
southwest from the city was visited at his
home by an oldish looking gentleman,
who stated his name, and required of him
promise Of Utmost secrecy as to its di-
vulgence, which was given, The stranger
then stated that he had been authorized 10
present TO his astonished host either a sum
of money or deed to the farm upon
which he was living as tenant. Think.
ing the matter joke, Mr.. Brownlee said
he would prefer the farm. The stranger
said all right, and requesting few days

home, and physicians were summoned to
attend him. He lay in an unconscious
state from eleven O'Clock a. m. until fourin
the afternoon, the reports of his condition
causing great excitement throughout the
country. At first it was reported that he
was suffering from an apopiectic attack,
but the physicians pronounced the case
one of sunstroke. His family physician
reported bis condition at eight O'Clock in
the evening to be one of simple cerebral
depression produced primarily by great
mental strain, and secohdarily by action
of the excessive heat; there was no ap-
oplectic congestion or effusion, nor any
symptoms of paralysis; he had spoken
several times and recognized his family,
and the physician had every reason to
anticipate speedy and complete re-
covery. Reports late in the evening were
to the effect that his condition was still
improving.
SPEAKER KERR was seriously i'll in his
room in Willard's Hotel in Washington,
on the 11th, and his friends were quite
anxious on his account At midnight his
condition seemed improved, and he was
resting easily.

The first straw hat of the season ap-
peared on the street Monday afternoon. 1t
was in the middle of the street. 1t was
moving along on its ear, with every indi-
cation of safe and speedy trip. A man
was about five yards in rear of the hat.
He was popularity supposed to be the
owner thereof. He was bareheaded He
was going fast. His face was scarlet in
color. He looked hot and embarrassed.
Still ii bowled along. SO did he. Once
il almost stopped. He slackened his
speed. Then il turned over ON the other
ear and shot ahead again. Then he
picked up his feet more abUndantly. Men

The bareheaded man, who had twice
given up the pursuit, and had each time
declared that lac didn't care a snap for the
old thing anyway, now put forth a third
effort and secured it, Then he set ii on
his head and pulled il down until the
brim cracked halfway round. Then he
got over fence, passed through a yard
scaled another fence, and continued his
way home by the same unostentatious

Cunning Mice.

THE Land Office of the Kansas Pacific,
at Kansas City, has been ravaged by mice
and rats. Rare specimens of wheat, rye,
corn, oats and other grain sent in from
along the road for a Centennial display
were ruthlessly destroyed as fast as
brought in. Poison, cats and traps
proved unavailing to stop the raids made
upon the Grangers' display from the line
of the Kansas Pacific. Roedelheimer, the
agent, resolved to separate all his treas
ures from the corners of the room and the
woodwork, and SO prevent the mice
reaching them. But they went up the
walls with the same ease as they had gone
over the floor, and continued to shell out
his prize punches of grain Then he
thought of a plan. He stretched wires
from each wall across the room, and to
these he hung his punches of grain. He
felt sure he had thwarted his pestiierous
tormentors. But they still continued TO
musk his choice samples. He concluded
to watch all night and see how it was
done. So the other night he laid himself
down upon the table beneath his wheat
and oats, and, with light burning, kept
watch until the attack commenced.
About eleven O'Clock, when all was still,
file of small, diminutive mice ran up the
corner Of the room, where the cor
nice of the window reached 10
the ceiling. Here the detachment
separated into three portions. One lot
went up the gas pipe, another lot followed
pine board nailed along the side of the
wall, and another went TO the top ofa plain
pine partition. Those that went along the
pipe Travelled over it sideways until they
came directly over the wires sustaining
the prize punches of wheat, when down
they dropped. Two out of three caught
in the suspended branches; those that
missed and fell started round to try it
again. Those mice that went along the
pine plank, Roedelheimer says, were
small mice he thinks they were females.
They started on the tight wire and
balanced themselves upon it with the skill
OF accomplished acrobats, and went down
into the prize bunehes with ease. The
third detachment, Roedelheimer says,
were strong fellows; males he thinks.
They started on the run and jumped from
the top of the partition to the wires, and
caught hold of the wheat sheaves us they
flew through the air. Not one out of five
missed catching hold. He says he
watched their operations, and noticed that
as fast as they filled themselves they
dropped down upon the table and started
home.-DenUer Ne0s.

The Great Exposition has been open now

iug the first twenty days, ending June 2, there
were total Of T2S, l4l admissions, of which
4Ol 00S were pay admissions and 32l, ,l4s

amounting to S2OO,95l,50. At this rate, and
allowing that the Exposition closes on the
first OF November and the receipts continue
in the same ratio, the total receipts for the
entire period win be about 81 ,6sS, goo. The
