able to carry out its contract, Father
Duffner appealed to the bishop of the
diocese of Solothurn for the privilege of
removing the holy casket to America.
The request was granted on the under
standing that the seal be not broken
until st. Peters church took steps to
carry out the conditions under which it
had been given to the parish of Mettern.
The South Side priest gladly agreed to
this and arranged at once for carrying
the stipulation into effect. On the ar
rival of the casket, and under the in
structions of the Bishop of Solothurn,
Father Duffner sent for Bishop Phelan,
who broke the seal, opened the lid and
examined the contents. They consisted
of the crumbling bones, the vial of blood
before referred to, and a parchment
statement giving the life history of st.
Vincent.

The Hoboken News and McPhillips.
When we read the Hoboken E0e's-
ing NeaCS' front page article on
Sheriff McPhillips, last night, we
thought it had joined in the good
work of bringing that derelict Off cial
to a sense of his duty, and was veil
ing it's attack under a mask of bitter
irony. Surely the worst enemy of
the paper-doll Sheriff could not have
urged tho facts of his delinquency
upon the public with more telling
emphasis. Disclaiming all animosity
to him, Messrs. Minturn and Russ
were quoted in the columns of The
News as reiterating the story of his
negligence, of the scandalous laxity
of his office. So we thought our
Hoboken namesake was after Nc
Phillips scalp in good earnest.
But when we turned to the editor
ial page, we found we were wrong.
The Hoboken tin whistle was doing
its poor little best for the Sheriff, and
was full of deadly rancor against
us. There was no mistaking the ma
lignity of its tone. Then indeed, we
laughed outright. and we thought
how the unfortunate man it defended
must have grit his teeth and NUT
tered, "Save me from my friends
The motive of the Hoboken NeaOS is
not hard to find, and when found, it
explains everything. That paper has
always been crawling lackey of any
one who had a dollars worth of print
ing patronage to bestow. 1t is the
counterpart of the argus under

meet with the same fate.
