Stimulating Death in Order to Rob a
Church in Mexico of Its Valuables.

CRY OF Mexico, July l5-A most re-.
markable attempt at robbery was made
the other night at the Soleda de Santa
Cruz church. 1t is not unusual in this
climate to bury people at very early
hours in the morning, so the priest did
not think it strange when certain fu.

ed to place the corpse in the church the
night before. The heavy coffin was ia.
ken IN and placed before the altar, and
the place locked up. During the night
the dogs Of the Sscristsn made a great
noise, and on that individual going into
the church be saw man jumping off an
altar, on which stood one Of the images.

living thief in place Of corpse, and in
his possession the most valuable jewels

Cleveland and the Catholics.
Chicago Mail.

The Rev. DR.. McG'ynn, of New York
CITY, is perhaps better known to Irish
Nationalists and Roman Catholics than
is any other clergyman in the United
States. He is great orator, profound
thinker and staunch land reformer.-
Dr. McGlyDu stigmatizes as impudent
and scandalous the statement that Irish
Catholics will not vote for Grover Cleve-
land. He declares bluntly that there is
no warrant for this assertion.

What is Made From Paper.

The following item of interest ap-
neared in the Industrial News: "One Of
the most remarkable uses to which pa
per has been put of late years Is the
manufacture of zynolite, a substance
which at the will of the manufacturers
NAV be made in imitation OF horn,
rubber. ivory, tortoise shell, amber, ana
even glass. The Uses to which zynollte
are adapted are almost infinite, but
nerhaps the most extraordinary is the
manufacture of cathedral windows. The
discovery was made about fifteen years
ago, but it is only within the last two
Years that a company has been
formed for its manufacture. The basis
of zynolite is a plain white tissue pa,
per made from cotton or cotton ana
linen rags. The paper is treated first
to a bath of sulphuric and other aclds'
undergoing a chemical change. Inc
acid is then carefully washed out and
the paper treated with another pre-
paration of alcohol and camphor, assum-
ing an appearance very much like parch-
ment. 1t is then capable of being
worked up into plates of any thickness,
rendered almost perfect transparent,
or giving any of the brilliant colors
that silk will take. 1t is much more
flexible than either horn or ivory and
less brittle. Combs or other articles
made of it in imitation of tortoise shell
are said to be so perfect in appearance
as to deceive the eye of the most prac-
ticed workman in that substance. The
difference in the material a be detect
| ed only by tests.
