Inventor Keely was seen the other day
with reference 10 published interview with
Lieut. K. l. Zalinsk, of the United States

which the lieutenant, who witnessed the
keely experiments at Sandy Hook with the
etheric vapor gun, ridicules the ''vsponc

that all Keely's ideas and methods
are based on legerdemain. Mr.. Keey

THE PLENARY COUNCIL.
CHAPTERS AND DEGREES.
Pontificiai High Mass Celebrated by
Bishop Feehan. of Chicago-A
Sermon on the Mass.

BALTrAoRE, Nov. 23.-Two weeks have
elapsed since the Plenary Council opened ON
November 8, in the Cathedral, with great
pomp. The public services that have been
held since that time have been equally as
grand and impressive, and have attracted
Thousands of persons Of all denominations.
The spacious edifice is not large enough,
nor would it be if it were ten times as large,
to accommodate all who would attend the
services, were it possible TO gain admittance.
POntiical high mass this morning
was celebrated by His Grace,
the most Rev. Patrick Feehan, Archbishop
OF Chicago, with the very Rev. Cyrilie Four
nier, G. s. ", and very Rev. Augustine
Morini, o. s., as deacons. The mass was
sung by the Cecilian choir, led by G.
Greith, choir master of the cathedral at
Right Rev. Edward Fitzgerald, Bishop of
Little Rock, preached on the sacrifice of the
mass. The speaker traced the origin of
the mass back to the time of the
prophets when sacrifices of bullocks, calves,
goats, etc., were placed on affairs and offered
up to God in atonement for the sins of peo-
pie. He spoke of the commandments of
Jesus Christ to his apostles during his life,
of the last supper when he commanded all
to eat and drink of his body and blood which
would cleanse them of their sins. In Gods
sight the mass of to-day is as the sacrifices of
1900 years ago.
After the sermon public solemn session
of the Council was held. The apostolic del
egate descended from his throne and took a
seat in front of the altar. After the roll had
been called by the Secretary, DR.. O'Connell,
Most Rev. M. A. Corrigan read in Latin the
chapters and DEGREES that had been decided
upon last week. Tonight Rt. Rev. j. Hen
messy, Bishop of Dubuque, Iowa preached a
sermon on ''The sanctity of the church."

The InterminabIe Census.

There have Just been issued from the Gov
ernment Printing Office at Washington the
seventh and eighth volumes of the reports
of the tenth census of the United States.
This serial publication has now been in pro-
gress for four years and the Commissioners
thinks that if Congress will make an addi-
tional appropriation of some fifty-fv thous-
and dollars or so he can finish it in two
years more, or in time to begin the prepara-
ton for the next census.
1t is but just to say that the proper work
of this expensive bureau was completed some
time ago. The primary purpose of the
United States census is decennial enumer-
alton of the inhabitants, with a view 10 the
apportionment of Representatives and 20
forth. With this enumeration is properly
connected the collection and arrangement
nativity, occupation-and of the agricultural
and industrial products of the country The
modern census-takers have extended their
inquiries far beyond any real necessity, and
thus delayed the legitimate work of the bu-
reau. Still, the results were compiled with
reasonable promptness, and the publication
of the Compendium of the Census" ought
30 have ended the whole business.
But the Census Bureau has set up a gen
eral publishing establishment and has been
for the past few years issuing an apparently
endless series of special treatisss upon al
kinds of subjects. important and unimporf-
ant The eighth of the great ausrto volumes
contains history OF newspapers. from the
earliest ares down 90 the present time: an
elaborate description Of Alaska. illustrated
With coiored plates; treatise on the sexs
with numerous illustrations. and historr Of
shiF-builaine. ~ Fkslssdsfphss Ts~es.

SULlIVAN'S DAISY.
A 800 Pound Fighter From the West
who Stands Six Feet High.


There is giant coming East who promises
TO astonish the people and paralyze the pugil-
lists. John l.. Sullivan discovered him in the
far West, and is going to send ont Mr.. Pat
Sheedy to bring him on and make man of
him.
The giants name is Dan Murphy, and he
lives in Portland, Oregon. or very near there.
He has never learned to fight scientifically,
but he promises to make great man. This
is the description which Mr.. Sullivan gives
of him:
''He's six feet eight inches high and built
in proportion. He weighs 29l pounds with
out any fat on him. and he's as active as the
best of them. He's got fighters head,
good shoulder, and thick neck, and if he's
rightly handled he'll make a three-hundred-
pound daisy, and no mistake"
1t is generally believed that Mr.. Sullivan's g
intention is not to rear up an antagonist
worthy of him SO much as to produce some
one to take his place, and upon whom to let
fall his mantle. The great Bostonian seri-
ously contemplates retiring, especially since
Justice has been leading him such dance,
and he doesn't want to make his bow to the
American people, which has done so much
for him, without doing something In return.

for the payment of pensions during the cur

by the pension Office, making an aggregate
of about S17.0OO.0O0 to be paid out on this

large payment will very materially reduce

Americanizing Paris Journalism.

The two young newspaper men who
are making tilt just Mt present in the
way of AmericaniZing Partisan journal
ism are named Chamberlain and Ives.
The former is son of the late Ivory
Chamberlain, and for number of
years he acted as private secretary Of
James Gordon Bennett. The holder Of
that position must be n crack journal
ist, because Bennett likes TO imagine
himself an editorial writer, and is for
ever suggesting subjects which his
secretary has TO write out. Chamber
lain got $40, 900 year and all his ex-
penses for travelling with Bennett. 1t
is said that some of his former employ
er's money is invested in the Paris
Morning NeUs. Ives, who has a slice
of the property, used 10 be in New
York journalism. He came to New
York from Buffalo. where his parents
reside still. He is tall, slim young
man with an olive complexion and a
big black eyebrow that runs straight
across his forehead. There is strain
of Indian blood in his veins. Some
years ago he married the lovely and
accomplished daughter of Mr. Frank
ID. carpenter, the drlIst. nc went
abroad TO work in London for the Asso-
cia,ed Press. and distinguished himself
by hunting Oakley Hall to his hiding
place when that crratic individual ran
away to England some years ago.
Ives was then snapped up by the Her.
aid, whose work he did in London for
two or three years. Finally Mr.. Ben
nett ordered him TO Paris, Dublin, San
Francisco and New York in quick sue
cession, countermanding each order
just as Ives got under way. That was
too much for the young mans Indian
temper, and he sent in hot letter of
resignation, to which Bennett replied:
Il have received your impudent COM
munication, and its contents are quite
satisfactory 10 me-" Then Ives wrote
back: "Glad to know you think me
impudent. / have been told that all i
needed to make me a first-class Herald
man was complete stock of that
article" On the whole, Cham bcrlain
and Ives are the kind of young men
who seem likely TO make journalism
hum in Paris.-Ne,o York World.
