A Friestly Imposter.

Several months ago Roman Catholic
priest, Father Maloney, of Erie, Pa, began
to claim the power 10 work miraculous cures,
and in short time he succeeded in creating
furore Of faith in his miraculous healing
power. Apparently wel-authcnticated cases
of remarkable il not miraculous cures went
the rounds of the entire press Of
the country lie was reported as
curing the sick, the lame, the halt, the
blind and the deaf, and multitudes of pill
grims sought Eric and Father Maloney to
invoke his aid. 1t is a,so stated that Father
MalOney has been receiving from seventy-five
to one hundred letters daily for months, in
which were sums of money ranging from
fifty cents to ten dollars. The Bishop of the
diocese disclaimcd any responsibility for
the miraculous performances of his sub
ordinate, but he did not order him TO stop
the humbug nor remove him. Last week,
however. the career of this priestly miracle
worker was suddenly and ingloriouly GU
Short and terminated in his flight to parts
unknown with his ill-gotten gains. The
Cleveland Lauder sent Il reporter to Eric to
investigate Father Maloney aud his
miracles, and, by getting into the
confidence of the priest he discover
ed that he was a fraud and had been
playing on the credulity and religious fears
of the poor sufferers; that the reported
cases were aot real ones, and finally at his
suggestion the priest prepared
long and circumstantial story of marvellous
cures performed by him, without any re-
gard 10 facts or truth, which the reporter
agreed TO have published. After obtaining
this statement the reporter revealed to the
priest his real design to not only pub
lish the bogus priestly yarn, but to
also expose its true character. The priest
was frightened and furious begged and im-
plored the reporter 10 let up; and finally
sent a messenger to Cleveland TO attach the
dispatches, which he supposed had been
seut by express to the LtddeF, ana 50 pre-
vent their publication. The reporter, how
ever, suspecting the design, sent TO the Lead-
er a bundle of old exchanges by express,
which the priest man did attach and seize,
while the really valuable package with the
story of the exposure went safe to Cleveland
by another way, reached the office safe
", and was duly published. When Father
MalOney learned this, and recognized the
fact that his game was played out. he lost no
time in getting away from Erie.

for his father in-law never spoke another

ADVERTISING THAT PAID

Johnny Manning, the Sherln OF
Oeadwood, D. T., was in St.
Louis on business, and he re-
, membered that year before d
St. Louis man had been up to
Deadwood and left owing man
several hundred dollars, which
was to be paid as soon as he goL
home. Manning met the man in
St. Louis, and be said be would
hand him the money next day,
but the days passed and the
money DID not come, though the
man was amply aoIc to pay. So
one morning Manning inserted a
personal in a newspaper to the
effect that if the man who left
Deadwood between two days did
not pay the money he forgot to
pay, before night, the whole cir
cumstance would be published the
next day. The notice was signed
John Manning, Sheriff of Dead
wood Before nine o'clock young
man called at Manning's hotel and
said he had come to pay s22 he
had borrowed to get out of Dead
wood. Manning found out who
the money was borrowed from,
and took it to carry to the Dead
wood citizen, remarking that he
was not the man referred to, but
it was mighty mean sheriff who
would not carry money to q
friend. The next man to call was
the one he wanted, and he paid
the money and apologized, and
begged the Sheriff to say nothing
about it. During the day seven
citizens of St. Louis called on
Manning and paid him money for
citizens Of Deadwood; believing
the Sheriff had reference to them
in his notice and after he had
gone away, another citizen called
and asked the clerk for Manning,
but the clerk said the other fell
lows had all been there and paid
up and this man had better keep
his money. The Sheriff said be

a Story with q Moral.

Young Charles Marshall was
spending the summer vacation
with his college chum, Fred Dav-
export. The Marshalls who lived
in al adjoining State, were people
in quito moderate circumstances,
and Charles had been brought up
to practice pretty strict economy.
The elegant living and lavish
hospitality he foupd at the fine
Davenport residence was a strik-
ing novelty to him.
He enjoyed it all exceedingly,
and was greatly fattered by the
polite and considerate attention
he received, although he did not
approve Of some Of the ways of
the household, which were unfa-
miliar to him. Sometimes be
would indulge in satir!cal com
ments, which he doubtless thought
to be very smart, but which were,
in reality, unbecoming and rude

that morning received and had

them into paper-lighters, placing
them one hy one as they we're
finished into a quaint old green
porcelain jar that stood on the
carved mantel.

amused look as she rapidly wound

There is a persistency in the
life of right-doing which is more
influential as a moral agent than
the highest conceptions OF ab'
stract goodness or the most
eloquent appeals to noble senti'
ment. No power equals that of a
life we'll spent no force is so great
as that Of character. For to be
wisely and nob!y persistent IN
anything the whole nature must
be in love with it and loyal to it.
aod must, in some degree, be as
simulated with it and permeated
by it.
