A Gun with . History.


THE POPES PRIVATE MASS.
A dispatch from Erie, Pa, to the Philadel-
phia Press says: Rev. Father Cody, OF Titus
VILE, one of five priests contesting for an elab-
crate golden chalice, consecrated by Pope Leo
XIII and brought from Rome by Bishop Null
len, has been declared the winner Of the Gun.
The money coming from the contest, fully S2O,-
600, will be devoted to the unfinished cathedral
In this city.
The chalice is remarkable not only for fits
value and beauty, but for an incident connected
with its conservation. When Bishop Mullen,
after having obtained the Pope's promise to
consecrate the vessel, sent 1t TO the Vatican,
the discovery was made that the chalice bore q
Latin inscription declaring that Il had been
consecrated in the presence OF the Bishop OF
Erie. Now such CONSIDERATIONS are performed
at the POpes private mass, TO which none are
admitted save two clerics and the Pope's assist-
ant priest When the Pope read the inscr1p-
ton, however, he said that . chAlice conse-
Grated by him should not proclaim fAlsehood,
and accordingly the rule was RELAXED. perhaps
for the flrst time, and Bishop Mullen Was ID

THE ETHICAL SOCIETY.
The Moral Growth OF Man Considered
from q Scientific Basis.

The meeting OF the Ethical Society in the hall
at the corner of 9th and c streets yesterday
afternoon was an odd mixing of scientific men
and of eccentric characters. The assemblage
was not large at first, but II increased in size
somewhat as the afternoon advanced. Consid-
cradle character was given to the meeting by
the presence OF some well-known thinkers. The
feature OF the meeting was a paper read by
Proi. Mason upon ethics I'm which he very ably
treated of the moral growth of man from a
scientific standpoint aside from all religion and
without reference to IL. He quoted the theories
OF most of the great thinkers OF this time and
dition OF man which prompted him to seek
advancement and to try and reach
after higher and better things. lie treated
the question in learned manner and
suggested that this yearning after the uuattain-
able was an inheritance of the experience of our

researches, Of circulating questions upon the
subject for consideration of the whole COM
MUMMY. Inc paper provoked some intelligent
discussion, and then the erratic element of the
meeting gained the floor. The assemblare was
remarkable for its looseness of attire and INTEL
lectuality OF countenance. There were three
ladies present and two small boys were among
the audience. There were several men with
long gray boards, a number of intellectual look

Opening Of the Gymnasium.
AFTER A SUMMERS VACATION THE CLASS Excl
CISES RESUMED.


A large and interested class assembled last
Friday evening in the Y. NJ. G. A. gymnasium
to meet Mr.. Sprengel, the new instructor, and
take part in the first class exercises under his
supervision. Every one was greatly pleased
with Mr. Sprengel. He was for seven years
under the instruction of Prof. Turner, OF the
Baltimore Athletic CLUB gymnasium, and has
received several certificates for proficiency.
Exercises were conducted with Indian clubs
and on the horizontal and parallel bars. As
this was the first evening under the new in
structor, some time was consumed In expiana-
tons and preliminary Instructions, but here
after exercises will be added on the vaulting
horse, rings and other apparatus with which
the gymnasium is thoroughly equipped. After
the class exercises the members met Mr.. Spren-
gel informally in the parlors, where refresh
ments were served. The gymnasium has now
completed the first year OF its existence Finan-
cially, rs well as In other respects, it has been
success. It is equipped with both the '.heavy
apparatus" Of the older schools Of training and
the pulley-weight system Of Dr.. Sargent, OF the
Harvard Hemenway gymnasium. Thus MEM
bers OF all ages are assured q suitable amount
OF exercise on apparatus which develops but
does not strain.

After Twenty Years.

A MAN SUPPOSEDLY DEAD RETURNS AND
CLAIMS HIS PROPERTY.
Arthur Snyder, of Delawanna, N. J., enlisted
in a New Jersey regiment during the early DAYS
of the war, leaving his wife Of six months to
the care Of his parents. After time he ceased
writing to his family, and they lost all track of
him. His wife, supposing him to be dead, mar
ried James Dawson, OF Dover, Nj. Arthur's
parents died, and through the will of his grand
father made fifty or more years before, a valuable
farm became the property of his brother Henry
and himself Henry took possession OF the
property. and also supposing Arthur to be dead,
petltioned the courts that the sole title be
vested in him, which was done, he being re-
quired to furnish an indemnity bond as secur-
ity In case his brother should re-appear. Henry
then sold portion ofhis farm to the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad. About a
month ago Arthur returned to his old home
and demanded his portion OF the estate. Henry
is now poor man and unable TO refund his
brothers portion Of the purchase money paid
Dy the railroad company, SO Arthur has insti-
tuted suit against his bondsmen, VIM. j. Stew
art and Bartholomew Batbyl. The period OF
bis long absence, after serving three terms in
the army, was spent in the town OF Everett,
Bedford county, Pa, where he also married
again.
