THE HEIRS OF JOHN MULLANFHH
Seeking to Extract Millions Of Dollar
From the Catholic Church.


From the Catholic Church.
81. Louis, Oct 26. Especial lit has
been learned that John w. Powers. son Of
Mrs. John Powers, the Maryland claimant
to part Of the MulIanphy estate, called on
Archbishop Kenrick once and presented
his claim. The archbishop said, in sub
stance, that when Mr.. Powers could show
his proofs or clue to identity he would
the venerable priest placed enough conf
sasncs in the publishsd story to ACCORD tha
young man hearing. Young Powers
said that his family history could be
traced back very clearly 10 years. and all
they claimed would be proven in time.
The case will prove to be strangely in
teresting and almost weird bit OF litigation.
1t at once invades the sanctity Of the Ro-
man Catholic church and attacks the char
acter Of distinguished st. Louis pioneer
whose deeds of charity and benevolence
have become household tradation. The
suit will be torecover also S., ,000. 600, which
amount Mrs. Powers claims was secured
from her great-grandfather, Walsh by
name, who lived in Ireland about ninety
years ago, by John Mullanphy. According
to Mrs. Powers story. John Mullanphy,
just before his death, which occurred in
1883, 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 fund. Mrs. John Pow
ers 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 IS, 5,000.0O07" She claims that it was
placed in the hands of Bishop Rosetti. but

Chickasaw Indians Protest Against
Charter Granted to White Men.
ST. LoUIs, Oct. 26.-[Specia al. News
comes from the Chickasaw Indian nation
that much dissatisfaction exists among the
Indians there because of the granting of
charter by the Chickasaw government to
about twenty men, giving them absolute
control of all gold and precious minerals
found in section of the Arbuckle noun
tains twenty-five miles square. They claim
that this charter has been granted to few
scheming white men, and that number
of legislators, with Governor Boyd, have
been taken into the company on the
ground floor, and that tine whole proceed
ing is wrong.
Several prominent Indians were to leave
home for Washington City today to lay tn g
matter before the interior department and
procure, if possible, the annulment of the
charter. and have the gold-producing lands
placed under the same laws that govern
gold and silver mining in other parts of the
United States. If this is not done it is as
serted there will be trouble, If not open
war against the company when it begins
mining opera tiOns.

Polish Plot to str.ngI. a Country man.


PITTsBURe, Pa, Oct. 26.-[Special. IA
strange story of Polish plot to strangle q
fellow countryman was detailed in the
office OF an alderman today. Josef Seb-
litzkie is young, intelligent and hard.
working Pole, ard had incurred the hatred
OF his fellow countrymen by his retired
habits. He refused to have anything to do
with them. Late Saturday night he was
visited by friend, who begged him not to
go out of doors after night, as a gang of
Poles had held meeting. and been over
heard by the friend. They plotted to strange
and rob Sebli,zkie and throw his body
in the river. The ringleader gave as the
reason that SeDiifzkie had won the affec-
tions of his sweetheart, while others were
more than willing on account of the money
and jewelry their intended victim always
carried in his pocket. 1t is more than sus-
pected this friend was in the plot, as he
feared for his lite and left the city today,
taking his effects. Seblitzkie is frightened
almost out of his wits, and is preparing to
return to Poland at once He says the
men are banded together and will strangle
him, once it has been decided. In the sud-
den disappearance Of his friend Seblitzkie
has lost his only witness, and the law re-
fuses to interfere.

THREE GRAND HYMNS.
Religious Lyrics That stand in the Front
Ranks of Latin Church Poems.

Religious Lyrics That stand In the Front
Ranks of Latin Church Poems.
Three hymns stand in the first rank
Of Latin church poems, and perhaps OF
all religious lyrics: the Dies Ira of
Thomas Celano, the Stabat Mater of
Giacopone da Todi, and the Jesu dulcis
AemOria of ST. Bernard. They have
certainly never been surpassed. The
first is the sublimest, the second the
tenderest, the third the sweetest hymn
of the Middle Ages. The Dies Ira is a
Judgment hymn, the Stabat Mater pas
sion hymn, the Jesu dulcis Menorla a
Jesus hymn. All date from the ages of
faith, so called, which built the cathe-
drals, witnessed the crusades, produced
the systems of scholastic philosophy
and theology, and, at later stage, pre-
pared. through the revival of letters,
the way for Reformation and the higher
modern civilization. The Middle Ages
Fave passed, and can never be resus-
citated, but what was pure and true and
good in any age is immortal and "a
thing of beauty is a joy forever"
The Dies Ira takes its name from its
first two words, DAY of Wrath" which
are borrowed from the Bible: namely,
the description of the terrible day Of
judgment in Zephaniah 1:15, 16, accord
ing to the Latin Version of St Jerome,
which was in universal use in Western
Christendom during the Middle Ages, as
it is still in the Roman Catholic church.
Those words strike the keynote, and
should not be changed in translation.
The poem is usually traced to Thomas
of Celano. in Italy, friend and biog-
r$pher OF st Francis, of Assist, and
superior Of the Franciscan converts OF
Cologne, Mayence, Worms and Spires.
He died in his native country in the
middle of the thirteenth century, about
A ID. 1860 five years before the birth Of
Dantel. This pious monk wro5e the
hymn in his lonely cell for his own
edtfication, without dreaming that he
would thereby edify unborn millions in
languages and couDtEics he never heard
of-S. s. Times.

LOVE THAT'S ALWAYS YOUNG.

Dear wife Of mine, we're growing old;
Our hair is streaked with gray;
OF "Silver threads among the gold''
You sang but yesterday.
But while you sang, IL seemed to me
Your face was just as fair
AS years ago, when could see
No silver in your hair
know the rose has left your cheek,
Which blossomed brightly there;
Sometimes your step seems slow and weak
Your brow is scanned with care;
Bus ever through your face see
The heart that's true as truth
Shine out all steadfastly on me
In Loves immortal youth.
What matter II the hair grows gray,
II love stays in the hearth
Lies winter holds hint OF May
That never can depart.
Our cheeks may fade, our steps grow slow,
But, dear, while love is ours,
Beneath life's winters frost and snow
WIN bloom its summers flowers.
80, dear, tell you with kiss,
And mean it all and more,
How beautiful your old face is
All, fairer than before;
For from II love the years have proved
Looks out and smiles on me.

METHODIST JUBILEE.

Celebration for the One Hundred Souls
Converted at the Revivals.
The Sixth-street Methodist Church was
aglow with praise last night, as the Chris
tians there held jubilee service on the
one hundred souls that had been converted
in the union revival meetings led by Chas.
N. Crittenton of New York City Every
body was happy. Many songs of praise
were sung. Mr.. Carpenter made spirited
talk from one of the Psalms of David
Mr.. Daley of San Jose, Superintendent of
the Florence Mission there, founded by
Mr.. Crittenton, addressed the meeting and
told how he was rescued from drunken
ness and wretchedness in New York two
years ago. He stated that over 800 per-
sons had been converted in the mission in
San Jose.
Many of the one hundred spoke and told
how happy they were, and how they were
living new lives in their homes and places
of business. Some of these had been in.
fidels, some drunk ards, some profiigates
some tramps, some workings, some re-
spectacle sinners-but they all seemed to
have a new song in their mouths. While
they were thankful for what had been
done, they seemed to praise God for what
he was going to do, through the Flor
ence Night Mission to be opened next Sat-
urday night, at 1910 Third street.
The meeting closed with seven penitents
at the altar, all of whom were saved, max.
ing los converts. Tonight and to- morrow
night will be the last nights of the Union
meeting. Friday night grand farewell
service will be held.
