Incidents OF anovel. Carolina G. Sankey,
eighteen years old, contests the will OF her
adopted father, Samuel Sankey, who
dsinherited her just before his
death. She was the daughter Of a
Pennsylvania farmer, and when six
years old her parents died. Samuel San
key, who was eccentric and childless, and
who was on visit TO his relatives, and
greatly pleased with the child and wanted
TO adopt her, but the relatives objected.
Then he tried to abduct her, but was
caught Finally he secured letters OF
adoption and came out TO his home with
little Carrie. He gave her good oduca-
tion, but ho was extremely penurlous and
htlast grew so harsh In his treatment that
Carrie had him arrested for beating her.
He was convicted and fined $40. At this
time his wife died, and he became still
more brutal 10 Carrie, so that she left
his house aud went 10 live with n neigh
Dor. Sankey then went East, and died in

Death OF bright Little Giri At Nestches-
ter. New York. from the Effects Of Dog
Bite.
NEw YORK, March 1l.-Just outside Of
the city is Westchester, and there to-day
died, Of hydrophobin, little Mary Reilly,
the pet of the village and the sunbeam Of
her widowed mother. Last Christmas the
child was bitten by large Newfound-
land dog, and her leg was badly lacer-
ated. The wound healed, and about a
month ago she was again attacked by the
brute, this time biting her in the face and
neck, causing ugly wounds. Thursday she
acted so strangely while at play that the
children ran away from her. She came
running into the house crying; "oh, moth
er, oh, mother, nthen she went into spasms
and began barking like a dog. The
sight Of water made her frantic, and
she snarled and snapped at those who at
tend d her. She tried to bite her mother
and the doctor, and finally became so
violent that she had to be tied down. All
last night the poor little thing suffered
frightful agony. She gnashed her teeth,
foamed at the.mouth, andeven tried.to bite
herself. Opiates which wero administer
o. had no effect upon her, and the doctor
could do absolutely nothing for her. AT
last, this morning, after two days Of in
tense suffering, she found relief in death.

Bishop Coke and the Jesuits.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal
Your issue of Jan. u contains a communica-
ton signed ST. W. Henry, Rector of Grace
Church, Muncie," in which there is contained q
very extraordinary letter written by RI Rev.
A. Cleveland Coke, Bishop OF Western New
York. Were it not that this letter is vouched
for by Rev Mr.. Henry. and that know sons
thing of Bishop Coke, I should have hesitated
to look upon such document coming from
one of his standing Some thirty three years
ago he was rector Of Grace Church, Baltimore,
and gratified his feeling of hostility the Cath
Ollie Church by violent attack on the recently
defined doctrine of the Immacula ts Conception,
which taught that the mother of Christ never
the rest OF the human race are.
From that time to this he has seemingly
Church, bis bette noir This letter is certainly
extraordinary. That Anglican Bishop should
go to the Encyclopedia Britannica for his the
olosy is. am under the impression. unusual
This source of information. we must charitably
presume, must be the Bishops excuse, il posi-
bic, for the very serious statements aud insinu-
atoms his letter contains; statements un-
founded, to use mild term and insinuations
that 1t would be difficult to pailiate. Bishop
Coke accuses the Jesuits of teaching that the
end jus;ifes the means and refers to the En-
ara to be found citations from Jesuts, and he
ends by quoting from oue of them:
.Finis determinat probitatem actus" He
does not translate; he has been charging
that the Jesuit maxim is, THE end justfes the
means" With all due respect, would call the
attention of the Bishop to the fact that this is
not the translation of the Latin phrase Its real
translation is, ''The end determines the good
ness of an act"-the purpose one has makes
act good bad. If thing is bad in itself. to do
it is to have bad intent, and this intent makes
the act morally bad one. If thing is not
good or bad of its nature TO do it with bad in
tent makes the act a morally bad one II the
Bishop, instead of going to the encyclopedias,
had gone to the source whence the extract was
cited he would have found the following
to enlehten his mind, it possible to
pierce his panoply of prejudice Iouote from the
Jesuit author II. P. Curry, annotated by Antonio
Ballerini. S. j." In the tract on Human Acts, he
says. Sec t29, ''any choice of an evil means is
bad act; but not every choice of good means
is good act" because the purpose or end might
not be good. for the end determines the good
ness of the act ''Whoever uses bad means
for good purpose is guilty of the wickedness
that is in that bad means These are the max
inns of the Jesui,s and any other imputation is
without foundation.
