A Priests Great Power.

Fully 5000 persons, over half of whom were
afflicted by some disease, thronged about tho
Church of the Most Holy Name, on Troy Hill,
Allegheny, yesterday, in the hope of receiving
Father Mollinger blessing The venerable priest
took position in front OF tho church, where he
admin stored to all corners. Some of Father Mol
fingers cures are undoubtedly permanent. 1t is
also true that of the thou and5 who ccms to him
comparatively few are cured. Such cures as he
effe Is are probably due more to the skill he
ercises as physicisn than to any other agency.
The reverend father was both wrathful and
chagrined when he learned from the papers
that some OF his sudordinstes had been taking
tips from patients to hasten the lstter's chances
o. getting into the priests presence. On this sub
ject he addressed the multitude. Said he: "Eo
one in my employ has the right to take any mon
ey from sny OF you, and warn you against pay.

sooner than others. ] have no proof that any
attendant has been guilty of extoriiog money
from you, but story TO that effect has been pub

my eyes and in the eyes Of Christ you are all alike
to me the poor is just as deser wing Of my atten-
ton as the rich You are to receive my sid aud
the blessing OF the Holy Father without money
