Inc Educational Departments Of st, Joseph Z
academy 70 go on as Before.


The following from the Baltimore Sun,
concerning St. Joseph's academy En-
mittsburg, Md, one Of the best known
female educational institutions in the
land, and one which has long been popular
with LancastrIaus, will be read with spe-
cial Interest
The Sisters of Charity 10 charge of St.
JOseph's convent, at Emmittsburg, Md,
have concluded not to do away with the
educational department of that institution
an action which some time ago they were
seriously considering The idea OF abol-
ishng this branch of work in the convent
was not due to any lack of patronage OF
want Of financial support, but because il
to some extent interfered with the works
OF charity, &c, which arc the main
objects of the order. Arch
bishop Gibbons, during his recent tril
abroad had conference in Paris with
the superior general Of the Sisters OF
Charity which resulted in an arrangement
for the continuation of the academy. ST.
Joseph's IL one of the Oldest academies in
the United States, and was founded during
the administration of the Most Rev. John
Carroll, first archbishop Of Maryland. 1t is
Tor tho education of females, and is closely
identified with the progress OF learning in
this country. When the rumor that IL
was about To be closed got out Archbishop
tiooons received numerous letters from
all parts OF the country expressing the
nope that tho rumor was uuiouuded. and
that II 1t was true the intention would not
be carried out.

The ore miners employed at the Beartown
mines stopped work yesterday morning
and demanded higher wages which tho
proprietors refused to give. They were
receiving ninety cents per day aud want 81.
The miners claim that they should have it,
as other mines In the vicinity pay that
figure, also that they cannot support their
families on what they are receiving. Most
Of the men work ten to twelve hours a
day under the ground in wet and damp
places, and many get the malarial fever,
which compels them to stop work. The
strikers held a meeting in the afternoon,
at which resolutions were passed to the
effect that il the demand is not granted
they will leave the village to seek employ
ment elsewhere. The miners consist prin-
cipally of Irish and Swedes. II the mines
are not worked within day or two they
will fill up with water and cause o great
loss TO the owners. A committee Of
miners was appointed to call upon the
proprietors this morning.

THE New England Republicans woke
up the wrong customer when they stir
red up Uncle Joe Brown, of Georgia, to
n comparative examination Of New Eng.
land and Utah morality. The Pecksniffs
from that region are never 50 happy rs
when they are demonstrating that the
people Of some other section are wholly
evil and given over to denominations
Utah, MOrmonism and pOlygamy have
long been favorite targets for their long
range morality. Meantime their own
just preachers and lawgivers have been
furnishing fearful statistics of the deca
dence of social purity in the New Eug
land states, and when the Georgia sena-
tor got the floor the other day, it was
easy for him to make vivid contrast Of
New England and Utah, that did not
show the former TO great advantage
There had been over 270OO divorces
granted in New England within the last
twenty years, destroying $1,000 families
and turning loose "a 900 persons to marry
again, all illegally, except those who were
divorced for adultery or iornication in the
other party. Assuming that of then
had been divorced for adultery, it would
leave 10, 600 persons divorced and married
again, who were practicng polygamy
In New England, while the Utah commits

having searched Utah with the test oath
could find but IL 600 men aud women who
would not swear they had never in Their
lives been guilty of p0lygamy. Prosttu-

alarming extent, and foeticide to an extent

THERE will be little sympathy wasted
upon Mckinley, who was ousted from
the seat in Congress of which he has
been drawing the salary for fifteen
months. He was given his certificate
by Republican retiring board
in Ohio against the equities of
the case. Notwithstanding the opinion
Of the Republican attorney general that
all votes obviously intended for Wallace
should be counted for him, Gov, Foster
and Sec. Townsend, majority Of the
Republican returning board, denied him
his certificate because some of his votes
appeared variously for Jonathan Wal

correct name being Jonathan II
Wallace. 1t has been McKinley's boas
that in his seven years ser
vice in Congress he had voted Il
unseat forty six Democrats and hat
never voted for single one in contest
He also made campaign speeches il
which he said that the Forty seventh
Congress which had been charged will
doing nothing had unseated twelve Dem
ocrats and seated twelve Republicans
aud for this alone it deserved the thanks
OF the country. OF course this meanness
and bigotry on his part were no justii

A hatcher striking Back.

Butcher Die,erle, who was recently
discharged by Judge Allison, Of Phila-
delphia, on the ground that there was
not sufficient evidence to connect him
with the alleged murder Of Frederick
Stahl, now proposes to make 1t warm for
those who were responsible for his false
imprisonment. He has brought civil
suit for damages against two Of the men
who we're chiefly instrumental In his de-
tention, laying his damages at $50 OOo'
This is an eminently proper proceeding
on the part of the injured plaintiff
While he may recover but a small por-
tion of his claim in damages, the SUIT
will afford him excellent opportunity to
yindicate his reputation, which has sut-
fered in no little degree by the notoriety
given him by the case and the degrade :
tion attendant on his wrongful detention
in prison.
No damages, however large in amount,
can properly compensate Dieterle for the
criminal mistake made in OBTAINING him
In prison on evidence insufficient to
establish even prin1 facie case against
him. His business suffered in his alb
sence, his family felt the sting that fol-
lowed the degradation Of its head, and
the prisoner himself was unjustly denied
the greatest Of the three prerogatives
attaching to man under the common
law--the right to personal liberty.
Men cannot be too careful in theiI
accusations when the reputation Of a

vented, but when the charge is public,
the facts substantiating it must be sutli.
