CHARLES p. SMITH of New Windsor,
Md, forged a note, fled from home, and
became a reckless wanderer. At length
he resolved to reform, and clandestinelv
visited his old home, but his father or
dered him away, and declared wish
to see no more of his body until the life
was out of it. Charles was lately strick
en- down with consumption, at Tunkhan-
mock, Pa, and the Rev. George 7. Kel
Ter, to whom he told his story, sent the
news TO his father, who declined to 90
and see him. The clergyman telegraph
ed: /" In Gods name relent, and take
pity on the poor dying boy. See Luke
Nv, 1882" which passage tells the
parable of the prodigal son; but there
was no answer, except TO forward the
remains when Charles was dead.

Reading at Seven and Half Miles
Distance from the Candle.

On the evening of July y, the Maxim
electric light was put in operation on
the tower of the Grand Union Hotel,
Saratoga Springs, y. Y, with a view to
test the extent of its illuminating pow
ers. An open parabOlic reflector was
uSed-no lenses-and care was taken by
Mr.. Maxim to set the points of the car
bons little at one side of each other,
and to adjust them TO the exact focus of
the reflector. When this was fairly ac-
complished the light was turned toward
a spot in Ballston Spa, New York, sew
en- and half miles distant, where, by
previous arrangement, a group of sew
eral hundred persons were assembled to
witness the experiment. So powerful
was the light, so accurate the focusing
and alignment, that the designated place
in Ballston was instantly illuminated, so
that ordinary print could be read, the
time seen on watches, etc. The night
was clear, still, and dark. The expert
ment was made at 9 - O'Clock p. IN.
This is believed to be the greatest dis
lance at which illumination of equal de-
gree has been accomplished. We are
indebted to Mr.. II. 5. Maxim for the
above particulars.-S Scientific Amcrjcan.

"CATHOLIC" REPLIES TO
"PROTESTANT."
A Review of the Case in Dispute.

A Review of the Case in Dispute.
Correspondence of the Register.
WHEELING, October Nth.
The communication of protestant"
in your paper of this date leaves the
matter Just where it was before. He
merely reiterates the little paragraphs
in your Sunday column" of the issue
OF the llth inst, with a few irrelevant
details added. The question simply is
which witness is the more credible, or
which story is the more probable OF the
two. All that protestant" has to rely
on is a correspondent of the London
DdtH Nelrs, who is known to be bitterly
hostile to Catholicism, and whose COM
munications on that subject are about
as reliable as would be a biography OF
Moses if written by Col. Ingersoll.
The correspondent referred TO, the
editor of the Methodist Record, who
copies him so eXultingly, and my friend
Protestant" all fail to point out what
the wife of FranchesChi or the OtliCiat-
Ing priest hoped TO gain by compelling
the diving man 10 receive the sacraments
of the church against his will. Did the
poor woman imagine they would send
him direct to heaven? Catholics are
credited with more than their share of
ignorance, but none can be found TO be
quite that simple, and there is not q
Catholic school child in Wbgel-
ing but would tell Protestant
that ten thousand forms OF absolution
under those circumstances could have
no effect. and that the number OF priests
throughout the world who would not 90
to the stake rather than outrage the dig
nitv of the sacrament bv snch crime,
could be counted on ones fingers. As |
said before, such charge as Protest
ants support is amusing to Catholics,
and only those who know nothing of the
Catholic doctrine will be influenced by
il.
Themer fact that Franchessi received
the last sacrament is evidence enough
10 Catholics that he abjured his Protest
ant faith" and that, too, from the
heart, for no priest could administer
them without such abjuration. And he
is bound by the strictest laws of the
Church to be satisfied as TO the sincerity
of the penitent before giving absolution.
The DAILY NetS man admits that Fran
chesshi did promise to lend willing
ear to the ministrations OF the Romish
tsig) dignitary in order TO gain a little
peace, although Just before that We are
told he was very deyout Protestant,
but protestant" must admit that there
is very little piety in one that would act
the hypocrite even on his death bed.
How ridiculous, too, it is to one
knowing anything at all of the his
tory OF Rome for the past ten years to
hear the civil authorities there spoken
of as auxiliaries" OF the Catholic
Clergy!
When civil authorities that stole the
vast treasures of the church, and prac-
tically drove the Pope himself out OF his
dominions, feel bound to take the side

IRELAND.
Anti-Rent Demonstration.

LONDON, October l5.-There was an
anti-rent demonstration at Belfast this
evening, at which Parnell and Biggar
spoke. Resolutions were passed declar-
ing that at no time in the history OF Ire
land was the want OF a native Parlia-
ment more clearly shown than by the
present alarming distress and by the
continued and deliberate hostility Of the
English government to Irish prosperity;
that the establishment OF a peasant pro-
prietancy was the only practical and
final solution of the land qustion. Dis
turbances were expected at the meeting
in consequence OF the strong feeling OF
the Orangemen against Parnell, but no
trouble is reported.
LONDON, October l5.-A well informed
correspondent estimates that $1,000 per-
sons were present at the Belfast meeting.
Parnells speech was of his usual viO-
lent character. He said the English
Government had remained indifferent,
though it knew the distress that is ap-
preaching would be as bad as that of the
famine OF the year 1917. \ great anti
rent meeting will be held in Ennis

MINERS TROUBLES.
Demand for an Advance of
Wages.

ST. LOUIS, October 1.-THE coal min
ers of Belleville district had meeting
at East St Louis, to-day, and gave their
affairs free discussion. They claim
that some of the mine owners have vio-
lated the agreement entered into last
May, under which the miners we're TO
dig coal one year at y cents per bushel,
and this, in connection with the present
condition OF the coal market and busi-
ness generally, justifies them in demand
ing 3 cents per bushel for digging. They
also allege that the operators and rail-
road companies have formed a pool
which works to the disadvantage OF the
miners. There were number of
operators present who called
the attention of the miners TO their
agreement of last May, urged them to
stand by their honor then pledged, and
stated that under their existing con-
tract the manufacturers and other con-
sumers they could not increase the
price for mining except at great loss.
The miners finally concluded not only
TO demand three cents for digging,
hut check-weight man to see
that the weighing is properly
done in yards, and a track governor to
watch the loaded cars. On receiving the
information the operators held meet
ing to decide, but could not accede to
their demands, whereupOn the miners
informally announced that they would
strike tomorrow. Another meeting will
be held at Belleville tomorrow, and if
the bosses persist in a refusal toadvance
the price OF digging strike will probab-
ly become'general throughout the dis
