OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER
PHILADELPHIA Pa, Feb. 6, 'ss


1t is asserted that blizzard hailing all
the way from louisiana will strike the
Cleveland boom before the end of the week.
Keep on the look out for it.
The Rev. Justus d. Fulton, from Brook
lyn, N. Y, who some time ago started out
TO annihilate the Catholic church, under
the caption, "Why priests should marry"
lectured in Horticultural Hall to an audi
ence of one thousand people one evening
last week. The Rev. Fulton has under
taken job which many a stronger man
undertook before and failed. This man
seems to be an imbecle on the snbject
about which for years he has made so much
fuss, yet has never accomplished anything.
For any man TO get up and declare that
priests of the Catholic church as a repre-
sentative body of teachers are immoral and
unchaste, is to say the least, a bigoted
lunatic. Fulton practically asserts this.
A man who pretends to preach christian
theology, as this bombast claims, should
bear in mind, "Do to others as thou wouldst
be done by" and not misrepresent large
body of fellow christians. 1t goes without
perversion that the purest, most self-sacIi-
flcing people on the earth, from Christ
like standpoint are the priests and sisters
connected with Catholic institutions and
churches. This is an undoubted fact and
then for jacRal in sleeps clothing to
grow furious thus is damnabe indeed.
The handsomest fire-proof building ever
erected in Philadelphia is tie new Bulltt
building completed last week 1t is situ-
ated on South 4th street, and is owned by
John c. Bulltt, A. j. Drexel, w. w.
Kurtz and Geo. f. Tyler. 1t is building
spacious and complete in its details. The
purpose for which it is to be used is mainly
banking. The architectural designs reflect
great credit upon the designers.
John Joseph Cullen is the name of a
young fellow who at nineteen years Of age
is bgamist, having two wives. John
Joseph was doing business, not at the old
stand, but on q wholesale principle, that is,
in the course OF one week he married two
young ladies, both of excellent reputation.
Besides having two wives he was engaged
TO two other Young ladies. These two no
doubt wonld have tasted the sweets of
matrimony if it had not been that wife No.
7 had this young Brigham Young" ar
rested for doing the thing too much. As
anybody outside of a lunatic asy lum might
have been expected he got himself into
trouble by being arrested and being put
under bail for appearance at court, with
probability of conviction ami as a conse-
quence two years at Cherry Hill" Moral
Never be too hoggish.
In the U. S. Mint are employed a num-
Der of ladies closely related to some eminent
and prominent men of our day and Of the
past There is Miss Cambloss, sister of
the most prominent member of the Phila-
delphla Stock Exchange; Miss Dougherty.
sister TO the famed and noted orator Daniel
Doughertyi Miss Dallas, daughter of ex-
vice president Geo. Dallas; Miss Gibbons.
sister of Major-General Gibbons of the
regular army and who so short time ago
delivered such a brilliant Grafton at the
unYeiling of the Meade monument In Fair
mount PaIk. Such are only few. It is
evidence that necessity is not alone restrict

these eminent relatives are In such straight
