A Decision Rendered i'm the j. b.
Mannix Case.
The Hamilton county District Court in
CINCINNATI Monday rendered = decision
in the case of J. B. Mannix, assignee.
against the late Archbishop Purcell. It
was an action to obtain the Judgment OF
the Court as to the liability Of the diocesan
church property to pay the debts of the
late Archbishop Purcell. The Court
found that in the case OF the churches,
"although the title WAS In fee simple in
Archbishop Purcell, yet they were built
with money raised by members Of
different congregations that the title
was in the Archbishop by reason Of the
rules of the Church, which, in such case
as this, the Court Is bound to regard /;
that the Bishop held the title only as
trustee for the uses of the oongreg atoms,
aud that the property so held could not
be subjected to the payment Of debts
contracted by the Archbishop" III the
case of the chu robes the majority Of the
Court found that ''the evidence showed
that Archbishop Purcell had advanced
some money to them and that said
churches were liable for that amount to
the assignee. As 10 the Cathedral and
the Cxthedi al school, they were erected
by the Archbishop, aud paid for directly
from the funds placed In his hands,
except about $4,000, which WAS raised
by subscription. The Court held tina,
though the Archbishop held the pro
perty in trust, as he did other churches
yet to the extent Of the amount he had
advanced to them, the assignee WAS en-
titled to recover the same with interes
for the benefit OF the creditors" TIL,
orphan asylum at Cumminsville WAS ais,

the mortgage on it given by Archbishop
Purcell to secure a creditor was declared
of no binding force. The same view wa

tain II the Archbishop had mad
advances to this property. A
to the cemeteries, majorit
of the Court held that "they were nc
dedicated to the public; that consecratio
did not amount to dedication, and this

lots could be sold for the benefit Of til
creditors" One of the three Judges

Was Lieut.. Greedy murdered?

LONDON, Oct. 2.-The Times gives a
report from the Upernavik correspondent
of Copenhagen journal that Lieutenant
dreely of the American Arctic expedi.
ton was murdered hy mutinous crew.
The report comes from Haps
Handrik, an Bsquimaux, with DR..
Nathorst. Handrik states that he got
the news from an Eaquimaux at Cape
York. The Times considers the report
improbable, as DR.. Nathorst has never
mentioned it.
Nathorst was the geologist OF tbe Norden-
kjoldexpsdition. Professor. Nordenskiold
telegrsphed to the Associated Press, from
Scrabster, under date of Ssptem.
Der 22d, that an Esquimaux named
Hans Christian, who was an
interpreter with DIR. Nathorst, reported
having met party of Eaquimsux at @ cd
Haven, who had come from Wolstenholm.
These Esquimaux stated that they had
been informed by other natives that the
commander of the American expedition
and another member of the party were
dead. The report printed in the London
Times may have been based on this
story.

URANoLOsY FOR OCTOBER.


From Eyery Evening OF saturday.
Automatically speaking, there are several
parallels between the years 1911 and 1912, on
the one hand, and 1882 and 1888 on the
other Like last year, the year 1911 was
noted for the appearance OF grandly bril-
liant comet, parting gllmpses Of which were
obtained by astronomers during the following
year, when the motion Of the earth in its
orbit had caused it to gain little on the re-
expecting to obtain farewell view OF the
great comet of last fall.
Then, again. ill 1872 appeared another
comet, the Pons comet which il now revisit
Ing our northern sky. This comet was
originally discovered by Pons at Marseilles,
by SGhulhof and Bossert at little over 7U1S
years. Accordingly they predicted its return to
pe,lAelion on September Sd, 1884. The
actual return will be about January 18th, less
than eight months from the predicted time.
The closene Of this calculation can be ap-
proclated by the mathematician who will
compute complete ellipse Of such enormous
| dimensions from small fragmentary arc and
then make due allowance for the retarding
and accelerating influences OF planets errors

This comet, like those of HALEY, Oilers,

The Bogrs interviewer.

Recently Mr.. Blaine, and more recently
Mr.. Bayard, has been the victim of the
bogus interviewer and singulsrly enough
in en- ,h case Governor Butler has been
the subject of discussion. In each in
stance, too, there was an effort to commit
both men to an advocacy of Buffers
advancement in Massachusetts, though Il
this species of interviewing il, as some
people suspect, part of a plan
TO get an endorsement of Butler
from prominent men of both parties, the
same to be used to farther Buffers am
bitionS next year, the bogus interviewer
in the case OF Mr., Bayard. somewhat
defeated his own end by representing the
Senator as coupling his endorsement of
Butler with certificate of character that
would serve to secure the cunning Cover.
nor an entrance into eternal torment
rather than into the White House.
But what We are now concerned with
is not the relations OF Senator Bayard or
Mr.. Blaine to Governor Butler, but the
relations of the bogus interviewer TO
journalism. The genus has several
species, not one of which is aught but a
disgrace to the profession. There is the
bogus interviewer that manufactures his
interview in the newspaper office without
ever seeing his victim. This kind ii
almost extinct. He was, and where
he still exists, he is lisl
pure and simple. There is tbs
bogus interviewer that learns the casual
expressions Of public man from soms
friend or chance acquaintance of the lat
ter, and spreads sll before the world
with formal answer and question. Thii
latter kind is nearly allied to the caves
dropper that hears the conversation 0
men of rank through chink or keyhole
and serves up the dish spicet
with lies for the delectation o
perverted intellectual palates. Tn,
commonest form Of bogus inter
viewer, however, is the one tina
draws man into conversation withou
hint that his words will be made mat
ter for publication, or that seeks in vail
for permission to publish an expression {
opinion from some man of note, and il
the end disregards his implied pledges t
silence, and prints an unrecognizsbl
travesty OF what has been said.
The fellow that lately invaded Senate
Bayard;s home approaches most nearl
the last named type. He talked moi
volubly of the things that atterwar
made up the bulk OF his interview an
got from his victim little or nothing in 7,
ply.He took no notes, and departed to pr
pare for publication one of the most col
spicuous pieces of Misrepresentation TIL
journalism has recently afforded. Sue
interviewers do vast harm to Il
journalistic profession. The huen
dapper, half-educated little creature thu
extracts an unguarded word from pull
lie man, and then dilutes it with falls
hoods Of his own invention, is large
responsible for whatever prejudice the
may be against reporters. 1t is
that earns snubs and sights 4
the men of his profession tn
keenly feel such things. 1t is he tn
perverts the press from its mission
truth to one of falsehood. The who
race of bogus interviewer, We are co
