Catholics In the Army.
SAN Francisco, May 3 Secretary
Lincoln's decision that the Catholics
shall not have a chapel at the Pre-
sidio military headquarters has cree
ated very bitter feeling in Roman
Catholic circles. They say that four
fifths of the soldiers and many of
the officers are Roman Catholics, and
that no provision has ever been
made to afford them opportunities
to worship. General Schofield, cons
handing Division of the Pacific
Coast, recommended the matter to
Secretary Lincoln believing that
facilities for public worship would
tend to impair the discipline of the
post. In the past, Catholic services
have been held in the unused
barrack room. The Catholics claim
that Secretary Lincoln's reason that
no church edifice should exist on the
government reservation is a quib-
bling excuse for an ungracious act.

LOtfie HunsInger.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.-The
death of Lottie Hunsinger still ex
cites attention Further investiga-
tion goes to show that death was the
result of her own carelessness in
taking an overdose of neuralgia
pills. The fact of the young girl
having been in Cooks rooms when
death occurred has no significance.
The dead girls character was unim-
peachable, and the post mortem
placed that beyond all doubt.
