Great Strike,

One OF the robbers rushed to the hall
and forced the gentleman into his
room where he at once hid his v,lu-
dbles, money and watch. The burglar
then told him to opeu the door or lie
would batter it down, and Father
Beigham replied: al will shoot you
through the door," but the william had
prepared for this by taking the young
lady out Of her bed and holding her be-
fore him where she called to
the well nigh frantic priest
not to shoot as she would surely re-
ceive the shot. The priest then hid
his revolver and opened the door,
when the burglar made - search of
the room, but failed to find anything
of much value. He became so exas-
perated that he dealt the priest blow
with his revolver which fel!ed him to
the floor. The robber then forced the
four occupants Of the house to walk
down the stairs and at the point OF II

open the safe and give him the con-
tents, amounting to $ll5, which had
been taken in collections. The pair
then departed. Several hours later
detectives arrested three men, two Of
whom were positively identified as
men who had committed robbery.

Awarded an Interview.

ROME, Jan. 3.--The pope to-day
granted an interview TO Eugene Ven
illOt, the distinguished French writer.
After speaking in high praise Of his
efforts in the Catholic cause his holi-
ness expressed regret at the present
sad position of France, but said he
was confident she would rise' again to
her old place in Christendom and ex-
ercise unbounded influence in the
world. Ths pope then referred to the
state of Eur, ,pe. He lamented the
revolutionary spirit fermenting it. and
said he was preparing two encyclicnls
dealing with socialism, the license
of the press, and the great power Of
universal outrage which he considers
terribly menacing. The pope gives
the jubilee gift of money'to st. Peters
treasury to be expended in propaganda
ism. The artistic articles will be
placed in the museum of the vatican
and objects Of worship in the vestry of
st. Peters.

concludes that II Is impossible, without

viuation will regain its lost supremacy In

sells. Bounties or subsidies are paid by

American trade which belongs to this
country, but is almost entirely monopo-
lized by foreign ships. In regard to the
coasting trade the case is different, ana
shipping is employed amounting to 50 O0O-

not docuniented, which are reasonably
prosperous, especially on the lakes, where
u coastwise trade Is developing The in
crease in American tonnage there last year
up to June 30th, being 2l, l6l tons. The

was about the same on western rivers

He speaks of the impolicy of local taxation

He says the expense of state guarantees

that is, by the general public. and that fees
for the support oi stations and salaries ot
officers should not be exacted of vessels.
The commissioner Is OF the opinion that
American sailing or steamer vessels should
be allowed to transport goods ON which du-

The present tax discriminates in iavor oil

by his rivals. Subsequently Chinn Sc
cured an interest in Chicago gambling
house, and, as the story goes, he soon
had to quit, caused by the active infiu-
ence and opposition of bowling. All
this time there had been bad blood be-
tween the two men, which eliminated
in the manner stated.
Jack Chinn is known all over the
country, and is generally liked, his
manners being of the free-and-easy,
bonhOmie kind. Indeed, he is one of
the BOYS when there is anything jolly
and hilarious going on. Possibly he has
been of late little too fond of the cup
that more than cheers. and 1t is pretty
certain he was not entirely sober when
he attaked Bowling on Friday. lie was
prominently identified with the turf
couple of years ago, being IN partner
ship with George HankinS. He was
and is also interested in the Leonatus
Stud near Harrodsburg, Ky. / am not
sure that fortune has smiled on him or
late as it did few years ago.
Bowling is one of the best known OF
Chicago's sporting men, is now book
maker and quite wealthy. His manners
are pleasant and taking, and he is said
to WELD more or less political influence
in Chicago. He is we'll connected and
one of his brothers is the Catholic bish-
OPP Toronto.
Tucker is a successful horse owner
and trainer, ordinarily quiet and non.
communicative. He is the employer OF
the famous lightweight, Barnes, and
has made good deal of money on the
turf. While singularly quiet and peace
able, he is said to be fighter, should
occasion or provOcation arouse him to
the belligerent point. He has had bust
ness relations with Bowling, and when
he got married in Saratoga last summer
Bowling and his wife ''StoOd up" with
him in the Catholic church there.

A Famous Race Course.

Those who admire good horses, and
especially those who lived in or around
New York twenty-five or thirty years
ago, will learn with regret that the old
Union race course is left there only in
memory. The stroke of the hammer
and the grating of the saw are now
heard on the historic ground where the
click of the shoes of Eclipse, Sir Henry,
Boston and Fashion was heard in 1923
and in 1910. Old horsemen have seen
the celebrated Flora Temple and other
horses equally noted flying around the
track. The faces of Hiram Woodruff,
John Mcmahon, the Dryers and others
could be seen there. In the heyday of
its proSp rity the Union course was
patrOnized by the elite of the city, and
it is estimated that 10000 persons at
tended the race between the Virginia
bred horse Boston, and New Jersey
mare Fashion, and that upward of $780,
600 changed hands on that occasion.
But Benjamin Ii. Hitchcock, the pur-
chaser of the property, has ruthlessly
cut il up il up into building lots.
