For some time there have been rumors
that Father Krensch would resign biz
pastorate Of the St. Alphonsus Church
and i. was only in the last few days that
this rumor took the garb OF truth when il
was learned that the Reverend father was
moving some OF his personal effects to biz
castle on the hill.
To find the exact truth or falsity OF the
matter, an INTRLLoENcER reporter was sent
out on a scout last evening to investigate
the affair. The FIST gentleman he accost-
ed was prominent member Of the St.
,Alphonsus Church. The reporter, with
the meekness that always characterizss his
approaches, asked Hit was true that Father
Kreusch intended 10 resignP
"All l know" said the parishioner, "is
that heard he had rendered his resigna-
tion to Bishop Kain, and that 1t had been
accepted"
"Nothing else," calculated the quss-
toner.
"only this, have heard that he has
been busy this week removing his effects
TO his vineyard residence on the bill.
"Who will succeed him?"
"There is where you have me. No one
but Bishop kain knows; go to him and he
will give you the information you seek"
MoNslGSoR suLLlyAN's TALK.
On this hint the information seeker
wandered up Market street and unexpect-
edly stumbled upon Monsiguor Sullivan,
The ipqnisitorial pump was Immediately ap-
piled, but the Reverend Father was nom
committal and the reporter had only to in
fer from his answers that Father kreusch
had really resigned.
The reporter asked: "Father Sullivan
has Father Kreusch rendered his resigna-.
tion 2"
"Haye you heard 80; is Il street rumot?"
replied the astute Vicar General.
"Well, yes" the reporter answered, ~
have heard 1t at several places"
II can only say that the Bishop is the
only one who can give you the information
you desire"
"Well, them
"No, | have made It rule that all inior.
nation OF that kind really belongs to the
province Of the Bishop and must come
from his lips"
Yet he has resigned?"
"Ask the Bishop"
81 hear tnat either the franciscan or
Dominican Fathers are to take charge Of
the church; how is that?"
"Ask the Bishop. He has the power Of
appointment, and even II knew his
choice l would not give it in. advance OF
bis announcement"
This ives eaid In a pleasant but firm
tone which left the impression on the re-
porter that althoagh he YVES talking TO
perfect gentleman in manners he was in
fact propounding conundrums to speech
less sphinx. 't
HIS SUCCESSOR.
AS Bishop Kahn was out Of the city 1t Was
impossible for the reporter 10 verify the
rumor Of the acceptance Of the resignation,
but he learned from reliable source that
ithad been accepted, and that the reverend
pastor OF the ST. Alphonsus Church was
feathering nest on the sun.kissed hills
opposite the Peninsula.
"What do you think Of his resignation"
asked the veracious inquirer Of promi-
nent Catholic.
swell, I'll tell you," answered the re.
sponsive man. "He has been load on
our hands for some time. He had trouble
with Father Casanova. That trial ran
thr ,ugh the courts and created great deal
Of scandal, which all good Catholics regret
ted. Lstterly he had trouble with church
society In regard to the price OF masses, an
account Of which has already appeared in
your columns"
1t may be added that at the time OF the
trouble last referred TO, Father Kreusch
told a representative of the INrRLLloINcRR
that be had rendered his resignation, but
asked that It might not be published until
the Bishop had acted upon 1t and named
his succt ss,r. His late assistant, Raw.
Father schillt, will remain at St. AlphoL.
