these Authorities never signed testimonials
for him. He joined the Episcopal church
becanse he was driven ont from the ranks
OF the Catholic priesthood. Ksul
ieEt Minnesota some eighteen months
ago. having committed the grossest im-
moraiities and having pocketed some
81, 800 Of the money of his parishioners.
A brother of his afterward, through shame,
paid $1,000 Of his stealines. He then
begged mercy from me and pretended to
be penitent, Hs Is very bad man. That
there have been from time to time other
aessrtions from the Catholic priesthood TO
Protestant churches do not deny. Keul
was received into the Episcopal church six
days ago by Bishop knight, OF Milwaukee,
with great ceremony. ANY letters of rec
emmendation bearing my signature hsid
by Keul, dated within the last two years,
are certainly forgeries.

THE EIGHT HoUR DAY.
A Talk ON ths Subject BY Samuel Gompers
--fts Success Assured.

-~Asn *uST&sH Ak&HFe8
CnrrAao. April ~.
Samuel Gompers, president OF she
American Federation Of Labog, delivered
sn address II Battery D., Chicago. He
talked freely Of the eight -hour movement,
declaring that no change Ia the economic
or social world ever before proposed has
received so great sympathy or commanded
90 much and general RESPECT as this. Heds-
clarss thss Il has covered ali EUROPE, and
that the working classes there win de-
mand IL May /. He adds that tbs working
people OF America are considering the
eight -hours-a-day movement as before all
Others In fact. they are concentrating
plan and thought upon it, having learned
that they best succeed when they attempt
. single thing at time. The reasons as
signed BY him for the demand are that II
time to Improve their condition and afford
opportunity for thousands OF men now
idle to work. he denied that they
wished to stop work or interfere with
business, trade or commerce, but,
rather, that they desired 10 help things
move Iivelisr. This Ia another reason why
the eight -hour plan was singled out. The
carpenters were hrst chosen to make ths
demand, and when these succeed they viii
demand II for the miners and mine labor
srs, and so on until Q change shalt have
heen brought about In all the industrial
branches. He claims ahat there are
CSC, 900 members In the federation,
with At least $50. 900 others In the move
ment, and argues that success Ia assured.
He said the 1885 movement was by
raw and inexperienced men, while that Of
1890 is composed Of good, brave. expe-
risnced and practical workers. One Of tha
most favorable signs Of progress was that
educated men no longer looked upon the
proposed change a. the disintegration Of
labor. He contends that every advance
made by skilled labor rebounds 10 the
good of the anskflled iaborer. He said II
was contest they would push, not oil
summer. bat al their lives, II need be, In
order 20 gain victory.

A London special 10 the World says:
Rumors that the Parneil- o. Shea case was

0'Shsa's petition has been framed may
limit the scope Of the inquiry. AZ IL Is,
the case ID being DELAYED IN most unae-
eountable way. With ordinary diligence
II might be brought to trial next month,
while now II is doubtful II II can come on
before autumn.
