COLD COMFORT.

He Was Stranger and They Took Him in
For Cool Century.
He is tall, gaunt, hungry looking, and
his soul was detected with the weight Of
a heavy grief. He gave the name Of
Comfort Pinkam and was strutting about
town yesterday looking for magistrate.
Saturday evening this most uncomforta-
BILE Comfort came down from Mile Lacs
county fresh from the lumber camps.
He carried an even century in his weazle
skin and wanted to see the sights.
A friendly hackman was on hand and
the rig was chartered for the evening.
Thus equipped and armed with bottle
of creased lightning, he started out to do
the rounds. As usual, the precious indi-
vidual was landed at den of infamy,
where he was turned over to bad whisky
and depraved women.
On retiring he put his bundle, contain
ing 800, under the pillow, and during the
night it took the proverbial wings and
vanished.
Poor Comfort made terrible squeal,
but it was Of no use. Like lamb he
had been led to the shambles and shorn.
When last seen he was after q warrant
for the arrest Of the hackman, supposed
to be man named Weber.

CATHOLIC RELICS.
How Secured, and Care Taken to Prevent
Fraud.


New YORK, March 27.-The World says
John A. McSorley, custom house broker, has
had charge of all the custom house business
In this city, of the Catholic clergy, for the last
thirty years, and has obtained clearance Of
most of the relics imported into the country
In that period. Speaking of the cable dispatches
published in yesterdays World in regard to
spurious relics, he said he had no idea how
traffic in such articles would exist. In the
first place the sale or purchase OF relics is for
bidden by the Catholic church. A clergyman
who bought relics would be liable to excom-
munication. In tho second place, McSor!ey
said no relics would be accepted or venerated
unless its identity was not conclusively es-
tabllshed. McSorley gave the following In
stance to show how relics are transferred:
About year ago, when the mother superior
OF the convent of sisters of mercy at Cincin-
natl, was in Rome, she begged from the
general mother of the order a relic that was
in the church of the order in Rome. It was
granted after some difficulty, and about three
months ago arrived in New York, packed in
two cases, the inner case being sealed. Ger
tifcates showing it had been in the
Roman church more than one
hundred years and tracing its precious history
were sent separately. These papers were ex-
amined by McSarley. If any of the seals on
the chest had been found broken investigation
would have bsen required to show how the
break occurred. The examination would have
been conducted BY the bishop who, if the ex.
PLANTATION was considered satisfactory, would
have affixed new seal. A bishop alone could
break the seals to open the chest. As to
the second part of the dispatch to the effect
collections Of bones purporLlng to be remains
ofsearly martyrs recently dug from the cata-
combs had been shipped to America, McFarley
said that the only relics he knew of that were
coming to this country were the remains OF
They were obtained by Rev. Mr.. Molllnger,
pastor of the church of the Most Holy Name,
of Allegheny city, Pa. McFarley said he did
not believe Father Mollinger would be likely
to be deceived in such a matter or would ac-
cept relics without making careful investiga-

IN OLD NAN AND HIS DARLING.

They Elops and Are Pursued by the Wrath
to Come-Leap From a Window and
Flight.
An elopement of married man and his
sixteen-year-old charmer, their fight to
this city, pursuit Of the irate wife and
her discovery of the guilty couple,
together with their novel fight from the
wrath to come, is the rose-tinted sensa-
ton which eliminated in st. Paul yester-
day afternoon The why and wherefore
Of the racy rumpus, in brief, is as follows:
Saturday evening there arrived in St..
Paul a well-to.do 1umberman from Elk
River named Charles Chamberlin. He
was accompanied by.a blooming damsel
Of sixteen summers and a glance could
not help but reveal the disparity of their
age. Upon their arrival in this city they
repaired to an uptown hotel, where they
registered as father and daughter.
The old man seemed to be q little soft
on the girl, but his Establishments were
attributed to the natural but somewhat
florid affection of father. However,
they secured adjoining apartments and
the scheme went well.
Among the passengers on the Elk River
express which arrived yesterday morning
was genteel looking matron of some
forty odd summers.
She seemed to suffer great distress OF
mind, and securing the services of an
acquaintance she at once proceeded to
visit the several leading hotels of the city
This woman was the wife of Chamber
lin; she was in. quest Of her recreant
husband and his mistress, girl named
Rose Peppin, sixteen years old and good
looking. The couple were found at one
of the up town hotels. At the time of her
arrival they were up stairs, Their
rooms being located on the
second floor Of the hotel
1t transpired that information was con.
veyed Chamberlin of the presence of hi.
wife Immediately after her entrance to
the house. Here was a predicament
Retreat by the entrance was cut off, fol
at that moment she was supposed to be
on her way to the room. Something
must be done and quickly. There wa!

to make the break. Both parties clam.

ing the ground in safety. A hack was
taken and they sped away. When the

CHURCH SENSATION.
Alarming Illness of Mrs. Henry Ward

Alarming Illness of Mrs. Henry Ward
Eeecher.
New YORK, March 27.-The World says
After he had dismissed his congregation last
night, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher stepped down
from the pulpit to go to his pew in which.
were his wife, and two other ladies', Mrs
Beecher was sitting upright and rigid and when
he spoke to her she was unable to answer.
He soon saw she was in an almost unconscious
condition Thinking the crowded state of the
church had caused her to faint he stood upon
the seat of an adjoining pew and asked the
congregation to hasten out. The tone of dis
tress in which he spoke created alarm and sur
prise, and nearly all stopped to inquire
what was the matter, but he re-
peated his request and the church was
soon emptied. In the meantime several
ladies had tried to revive Mrs. Beecher. Mr.
Beechcr, with their assistance, carried her into
the lecture room and there efforts were made
to restore her, but she grew worse, and pre-
sently became entirely unconscious. From
the first she was unable to speak. A carriage
had been ordered at the first alarm and she
was carried to it and taken home.
