The School Question in Ohio.
WHY ROMAN CATHOLIC PARoCHIAL
SCHOOLS ARE EXEMPT FROM TAX
ALTON.


CLEVELAND, July ia case that
has attracted great deal of puOlio at
teptiOn has been on trial in this city for
several days past, before Judge Jones,
in the equity branch of the Common
Pleas Court, in which Bishop Gilmour,
the Catholic Bisnop of this ducese,
sought to enjon the County Treasurer
from collecting some So, 900 of taxes as
sessed on lands alleged to be held by
him in trust for the use of the Catholic
parochial schools. The Bishop himself
and other clerical witnesses were cross
examined exhaustively, and large
Number OF fapal documents, DEGREES of
various Councils, the Encyclical letter
Of the Pope. &c, were introduced by
the defendant for the purpose OF show
ing that the parochial schools were Or
ganiZed and conducted for purpOses
hostile to free institutions, ana opposed
to the public policy of The State, and
were not, therefore, to be construed as
coming within the exemption clauses of
the statutes, either as public schools or
Institutions purely Of public charity,
and to show that the Bishop holds the
lltiO " bhO piNlNANl NV 10 " hotNNI Ohb
that he is absolutely accountable only
to the Pope of Rome. To-day Judge
Jones. in an elaborate opinion, held
that the establishment of these schools
was not in any legal sense opposed to
the public policy, unless they were
tainteI with illegallty of origin, pur-
pose, or tendency, or were in contra
vention of public morality that the
Bishop was really the trustee of the
property for school purposes, and that
Court of Equity could enforce the
trust that the school property was not
exempt as public school property, but
that being built AMI partially carried on
by voluntary donations, and no income
arising therefrUm, they were exempt
from taxation as institutions purely OF
public charity, aud under the saue law
IS other sectarian colleges and institu-
lions of the State, SO far as general tax
alton was concerned, but not exempt
from special assessments for sewers,

biting aud tearing each other. The
referee pronounced them sound and
good. o.. .
Cries for Jim Doyle and Nellie
brought up thick set, good.looking
youngster, who held by stout chain a
strong, well-built, pure white bitch.
Bowing to the spectators, jim Doyle
stripped off his coat aud vest, tucked
his pantaloons into his boots, and
sprang into the pit.
"Slip her cOllarp he shouted to his
assistant, and then picking up Nellie In
his arms he held her firmly until the
word was given. At ten O'Clock pre-
cisely the referee called, "Are you
ready ?"
Jim Doyle answered eyes -
" Then let her 60 !'' .
And the great white dog descended
upon the heap of rats. With her mouth
close to the ground, her tail erect, and
her thin sides heaving, she rushed upon
them, snatchlng them up with the ras
pidity of thought, and in twinklinE
twenty lay dead in her tracks. AS the
rats fell Jim Doyle picked them up, and
they were thrown into bag.
4 large ugly rat sprang at Nellie,
and fastened his teeth in her neck, hung
there for a moment; but the dog, with
a shake of the head, flung the rodent
aside and then crunched 1t. So.
Fifty rats were killed in six minutes,
and Nellie began to show the effects of
the terrible heat Of the room. "Her
sides and legs bled from the bites she
had received, and the excited crowd
shouted, "Give her air." let her have
her own way. But Jim Doyle urged
her on. pattiug her and encouraging
her with "Shake them there shake
them /" At the ninetieth rat Nellie
was ahead of time. Her ninety fifth
rat showed fight, and Nellie lost six
seconds. AT last the referee shouted
fifteen minutes and fifty seconds. Nell
lie lost the match, having killed the last
rat at the expiration of sixteen minutes.
AS the last rat was killed Nellie fell
exhausted, and was carried out limp
and bleeding. u' =
The police arrived after the show
was over.

CT church discipline came to light to-

officiating pastor of the Congregational
Church at Bartlett, a Chicago suburb,
was churched, some months since, for
improper use of his tongue. He ap-

the lower body was confirmed, and the
ex- x-pastOr will be plain Mr.. Jacobs heres
after. He appeared before his reverend
brethren, and, in a piteous pleaI OBJ
jected to being set outside, claiming
that he was anxious to serve his'Divlne
Master, aud that he had done so. He
confessed that he had an incurable
habit of lying, which amounted almost
to a mania but, barring that tribe, he
was free from guilt. His plea was
heard, but, to prevent disaster to the
cause, he was told to depart in peace
and assume the cloth no more. He in.

Digging His Own Grave.
PHILA., July IL, 1877.

A few days ago ex.Mayor Joseph S.
Hoyer visited Bowers Station and call
ed upon Mr.. and Mrs. Jonas Bower,
the former of whom is in the Sist year
of his age and the latter in her Nth
year. Although they are both in ex-
cellent health, strange to say, their
graves have already been dug and their
tombstones erected. Mr.. Bower him
self superintended the construction of
his own grave and that of his wife.
They are side by side in the cemetery
at belongs Church, Bowers Station,
East Penn Railroad, sixteen miles from
this city. The excavations are walled
up with bricks, cemented, and lined
with the finest kind of Italian marble
slabs three inches In thickness. 1mme-
diately above the space for the coffin is
an Offset upon which rests marble
slab, and above the slab is space of
fourteen inches which will be filled in
with earth, and above this, on top of
the gra We, is another marble slab. Mr..
Bower not only superntended the dig
ging of the grave, but he superintended
the masonry and eelected the marble
for the horizontal slabs, and the pei
pendicular tonibslones that stand at the
head and foot of the graves. His tomb
stone contains the inscription, God is
Love-" followed by his name and the
date. when he was borl-January 20.
1797-and the headstoue of his wife,
who was born Elizabeth Sell, in May,
1901, is inscribed, "nWait for the Lord"
Mr.. Hoyer says that the lot containing
these graves is enclosed by handsome

From the New York Sun: In the

8 o'clock Friday evening. AS the select
few who had been invited arrived, they
were challenged at the door, and the
watchman having given his signal the
bolts were drawn back and the party
were admitted. At 8 O'Clock Richard
Toner, the professional rat catcher, and
his assistants entered. "Dick, the Rat, "
as he is known, at once made the pit.
This consisted of four large boards,
about -four feet high, by six feet long,
and fastened with strong iron bolts.
Having swept the floor carefully, Dick
and his assistants went out and fetched
two large bags.
Here's the .souealers," a sporting
man shouted, and then the piercing
squeals of the imprisoned rats were
heard. The referee announced that
Jim DOyle'5 white bitch "Nellie" was
matched to kill one hundred rats

fifteen minutes and fifty seconds.
A call was made for the rats.
