But the Question Is, Who Will She
Sue.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 26.-It was learned
yesterday that John w. Powers, a son
of Mrs. John Powers, the Maryland
claimant to Il part of the Mullanphy es-
tate, called on Archbishop Kendrick
and presented his claim. The arch
bishop said IN substance that when Mr..
Powers could show his proofs or clew to
identify he would listen to him. This
would indicate that the venerable
priest placed enough confidence in
the published story to accord the
young man hearing upon the estab-
lishment of quasi case even, and is
regarded as an important concession.
Young Powers said that his family his
tory could be traced back very clearly
ITO years, and all they claimed would be
proved in time. The suit will prove to
be strange, interesting and almost
weird bit of litigation. 1t at once in
yades the sanctum of the Roman CathO-
lie church and attacks the character OF
distinguished st. Louis pioneer whose
deeds of charity and benevolence have
become household traditions. The suit
will be brought to recover also s., ,OG0, 900,
which amount Mrs. Powers claims was
secured from her great grandfather,
Walsh, by name, who lived in Ireland
about ninety years ago, by John Null
lanphy. According to Mrs. Powers
story, John Mullanphy, jnst before his
death, which occurred in 1888. left
large sum of money in charge of Bishop
Rosetti, who was then in charge of this
diocese. The heirs of John Walsh were
to receive this fnnd. Mrs. John Powers
claims to be the only heir of the afore-
said Walsh, and to be entitled to this
vast sum of money. The question that
arises now is, who will Mrs. Powers sue
for the s5,0U0,00 She claims it was
placed i'll the hands of Bishop Rosetti.
He is now dead.

the cholera epidemic continues, but its
presence in Barcelona is not officially
confirmed. Reports from Abyssinia
say that the epidemic is intense in the
localities occupied by Italian troops
and at MassOwah about sixty deaths
occur daily from the disease. Reports
from Russia stath that the actual pres

some cities in the South are suspected,
but nothing definite is known. Reports
from France state thai the sanitary con-

of cholera have been reported. The re-
port of Italy states that, according to
information received from private
sources. many fatal cases of cholera
have occurred in Venice. The Italian
government has deferred the return of
troops from the Red sea colonies. ADJ
vices from Constantinople say that the
late cholera reports are very unfavor

disease at Aleppo, to which place it was
imported from Meskene, is very serious.
On Sept. IL and II nine deaths are re-

UNBANKABLE GOLD.
The Yellow Stuff Hard to Get
Rid OF

Rid Of
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. - .sDo you
know that gold Is the most unwieldy of
all the different kinds of money now in
circulation" said a prominent banker
to representative of the United Press.
''Why so?o was asked.
because is IS not bankable without
careful scrutiny"
"liOw is tbat?"
'';Simply this. Take a greenback. a
silver certificate, gold certificate or a
national bank note TO your bank, and it
IS received and placed to your credit
without moments delay. Not so with
gold. A few days ago a gentleman
brought to our bank upwards of $1,000
III gold of different denominations, and
was much provoked because we would
not receive it for him and give him
credit for the amount the faces
of the coin represented. This we
could not Go, because the law requires
that gold shall be redeemed only at its
actual value. Coins carried in the
pocket for any length of time naturally
lose something in weight by abrasion,
probably about fractional part of
cent on ten-dollar coin; but it is loss
nevertheless, and therefore bankers
cannot give credit for gold deposits until
the coin shall llaye been weighed. In
the case in point my friend took his
gold to the treasury department, and was
compelled to wait there nearly an hour
before he could get notes for it. Every
coin had to he passed through the
scales, and after. the weighing process
had been completed three coins-two
50 pieces and one SO piece-were re-
turned to him as short in weight. Be-
fore returning short weight coins the
department stamps OH the face of each
a cross. The owner is left to either
send the coins to the United States
mint for redemption, or to again put
them into circulation. Eventually the
coins with crosses on their faces will 90
to the mint and be redeemed at their
actual value. In many instances there
may not be more than several cents
shortage on $50 worth of coin. Business
men, however, naturally object to the
Inconvenience. and get rid OF their
gold as fast as possible"

Methodist church will be behind 1t and
responsible for it, the mode of instrnc-
ton will be liberal enough not to ex-
