A U RIOT:

-
The Trouble in the Polish Catholic Church
at Detroit Breaks Out Afresh on Christi
Dmas Day-The Church Edifice and the
Bishop's Residence Besieged by a Mob
A Fight Between the Rioters and Police
In Which One Man Is Killed.
DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 26.-Another out
break among the Polish parishioners of st.
Alburtus' Catholic Church occurred yester-
day shortly after morning mass. More than
four thousand people, about one-third of
the congregation, were gathered outside the
church discussing the report that Bishop
Borgess. had promised to be present, open
the church and settle all the troubles by
giving back to the people their old pastor,
Father Kolasinski. The Bishop did not
appear, and the vast crowd marched to his
residence. A. committee was selected to
notify him of the congregations desires,
but the inmates refused to admit the CON.
mittee. The Bishop escaped by the rear OF
his house.
When the people learned of the Bishops
flight they became violent, and in a threat
ening manner proceeded to st. Joseph's
Church, where they supposed the prelate
moment, followed by another vast delega-
ton of angry Poles. The latter joined their
friends and proceeded, {, 1000 strong, to the
church.
When St. Joseph's was reached q rush
was made for the door, but it was found
locked. A large man, with a commanding
voice, suddenly appeared among the
people, and in the Polish tongue
counseled quiet About half of the
crowd proceeded homeward, while the
others returned to St Alburtus' Church.
| where, at three o'clock, a great mob made
q sudden and savage attack upon the edi-
flee. A large detail of police reinforcing
the officers at the church, they resisted the
assault and dispersed the rioters.
The Po!es again gathered at the house Of
Basil Lemkie, on st. Aubin avenue. Lem
kie, at the beginning Of the church troubles,
incensed the adherents of Father Kola-
sinski. His house was fiercely attacked.
Men and women commingled and fought
Unfortunately. A detachment swooped
down on the mob. and the patrol
wagons were soon loaded with pris-
oners. A large number Of the
| rioters were seriously hurt. Some OF
the men had pistols and attempted to make
a stand. Joan L%eodowski, one of the prin-
cipal rioters, was shot dead. The sight of
| the police and the killing of Leodowski sub.
dued the mob, and it was again broken up
by the police. A renewal of the riot is eX.
pected this morning. and one hundred
armed policemen have been ordered to the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Mr. Frederick

Cutting Ostrich Feathers.

The ostrich is not an easy bird to handle
under the operation of feather cutting.
You can well imagine that there is some
difficulty and also danger in handling
huge birds weighing some $50 pounds
apiece. Feathers are cut once every seven
months, making it, as you see. nearly
twice year. When we intend to cut a
bird we approach it with plate of gree
corn, to which they eagerly rush. They
are then caught by the neck with the left
hand. while with the right hand you draw
over the head stocking. thus blindfold-
ing them. At the bottom of the stocking
is left hole through which their beak
passes, giving them an opportunity to
breathe. As soon as the bird is blIndfold-
ed he is held still by four men. and in
about halt an hour he is plucked. The
white feathers are all cut, while the body
and tail feathers are plucked. l tell you
there is an immense future to this enter
prise, as the demand for ostrich feathers
is ever on the increase. Ostrich feathers
are always fashionable. If you watch
this closely as l have done, you will dis
cover that there is rage for ostrich tips at
different times all over the world, whether
it be in the colonies. in the United States
or in Europe. In five years from now os-

Playing SalOOn-Why He Quit.

81 hear that Smith has sold out his
saloon" said one of couple of middle
aged men, who sat slipping their beer and
eating bit OF cheese in Smithfield
street saloon last Friday night.
! YES" responded the other, rather
slowly.
What's the reason? l thought he was
coming money there"
The other nibbled cracker distracted
ly for moment and then said: ats a
rather funny story. Smith. YOU know,
lives on Mount Washington, right near
me, where he has an excellent wife. a
nice little home and three as pretty
children as ever played out doors All
boys, you know. the oldest not over nine
and all about the same size. Smith is a
pretty respectable sort of citizen, never
drinks or CANDLES, and thinks the world
of his family.
well, he went home one afternoon
last week and found his wife out shopping
or something of that sort. He went on
through the house into the back ward, and
there under an apple tree were the little
fellows playing. They had bench and
some bottles and tumblers and were play
ing keep saloon" He noticed that they
were drinking something out OF a pail,
and that they acted tipsy. The Youngest
who was behind the bar, had a towel tied
around his waist. and was setting the
drinks up pretty free. Smith walked over
and looked in the pail. 1t was beer, and
two of the boys were so drunk that they
staggered. A neighbours boy, a couple
of years older lay asleep behind the tree.
my God, boys, you must not drink
that he SAID, as he lifted the six-vear-old
from behind the bench.
Yves playing s'loon, papa, an was
sellin' it just like you.' said the little
fellow. Smith poured out the beer and
carried the drunken boy home and then
took his own boys in and put them to bed.
When his wife came back she found him
crying like child. He came down town
that night and sold out his business and
says he will never sell or drink another
drop of liquor. His wife told mine about
it, and she broke down crying while she
told it,"
This is true story; but the name was
not Smith.-Piltsbeyg Dispatch
