BY permission we publish the follow
ing kind letter from Bishop Quinlan to
Father Ryan:
10 whom It may concern
Reverend Father Ryan has been in
my diocese for eleven years and d half
He was for six years member Ofmy
Cathedral household. During that time,
ut my request, he travSled, preached,
lectured and collected Some thousands
Of dollars for my Cathedral; and he
worked for every priest In my diocese
by sermons, and lectures. for which he
never asked nor received any remuner-
alton. After his appointment to st. Ma
ry's, which was at his own Urgent re-
quest, he went to Kentucky, Texas and
Arkansas, collecting still for the diocese.
Now, after the hard and faithful work
Of moro than eleven years, during which
time he never fell under any ecclesiasti-
cal censure, he desires and asks as q
favor to retire from all parochial duty in
order to finish work which lie Is writing
for the Church. His physician for eleven
years--Dr. Gaines--decides that in order
to prolong his life he must live in this
latitude somewhere OH the coast. He de-
sires 10 reside at or near Biloxi. While
] accede to Father Ryars request, ! still
claim him as priest Of my diocese in oil
things under my sole jurisdiction;
and he will report to me personally eve
ry month. And ] grant HIM this special
favor on account ef his faithful work in
and for my diocese. Fathor Ryan still
holds all the powers and rights Of my
diocese until, Of lis o,ri accord, he Mt
taches himself to another Jurisdiction.

Cousin Kate was aswcet, wide-awakc
beanty Of about II, and she took it into
her head to 80 down on Long Island to
see some relatives Of hers who had the
misfortune to live there. Among those
relatives there chanccd to be young
swain who had seen Kate on q previous
occasion, and seeing, fell deeply in love
with her. He called ut the house OH
| the evening Of her arrival, and she met
him on the piazza, where she was en-
joying the evening air in company with
two or three Of her friends. Tho poor
fellow was so bashfnl that he could not
find tongue for some time. AT length
he stanmered out ''How's your moth
er?' "Quite well, thank yon." An
other silence Oh the part Of Josh, during
which Kate and her friends did tho best
to relieve the monotony. After waiting
about fifteen minutes for him to COM
mence to make himself agreeable, he
again broke the spell by: How's your
father 7" which was answered much in
/ the same manner as the first one, and
| then followed another silence like the
other. "Iow's yourfather and motherw
again put in the basllful lover. "Quite
well, both OF them.n This was followed
by an exchange Of glances and sup
pressed smile. This lasted some ten
minutes more, during which Josh was
fidgeting in his seat, stroking his Sun
day hat. But at length another ques-
ton came FLOWS your parents ~ This
produced an explosion that made the
| woods ring.

Mass, writes "For years l suffered the
1 horrors Of dyspepsia and indigestion.
They seemed to weaken every organ Of
life, and completely shattered my nerv-
Gus system. At night when Lay down
I felt could not live until morning.
Heartburn panied me most terribly. l
tried Browns Iron Bitters; it suited my
case precisely, and now my stomach di-
gests any kind Of food, and my sallow
complexion and other symptoms Of i'll
health are all gone, and at night / enjoy
most refreshing, drealnlcss slumber.'
