Brother and sister Reunited After Thirty

Brother and Sister Reunited After Thirty
eNRs six Years.
NEW YORK, juno 3.-The Kesslers
came over from Germany about thirty
six years ago to find a home in the new
world. They started with all their
family possessions, but landed with
nothing but the clothes they wore, for
the steamer was shipwreclied, and they
were fortunate TO escape with their
lives They went to Cleveland, where
the mother died soon after. Henry, n
lad of 10, started to learn the printing
business and Andrew went into n book
bindery. Gertrude. the youngest, was
o years old then. She came TO New
York and lived with friends here. She
never returned. In course Of time sbo
fell in love with a young German whose
name was William Kessler, but
who was not related in any
way to her family. They married and
took cheap lodgings in this city,
where a little boy was born. whom his
mother named William Very Don af-
forward the father died and the young
mother was left to l;er own resources
Her father meantime had died. She
had written TO her brothers, but she
got no reply. She wrote again and
again and then concluded that they
must have left Cleveland. She got
work and supported herself and her
little boy. SIZE gave him n public
school education, and when he got old
enough he learned the carpenters
trade. They moved to Passaic eleven
years ago. Five years ago Mrs Kess-
Ter wrote once more to the postmaster
at Cleveland, but heard nothing. The
o married then, and the wife and
mother did not agree. So she rented n
room outside. William did what he
could to support her, but he had a
growing family and could not do much.
The women OF the Baptist church, Of
which MIRA Kessler~. was n mem
Der, came TO her assistance,
for several years they
have provided for her wants Six
weeks ago a letter came from Lawyer
William X. Kidd, of Cleveland, and
stated that ho had just seen n letter
from II Mrs Kess!er, written five years
ago TO the postmaster at Cleveland,
asking for news of Henry or Andrew
Kessler. lie said that Henry Kessler
had died six months before, leaving
en-, 600 to his brother Andrew and his
sister Gertrude. The lawyer wanted
TO know where this Mrs. Kessler could
be found. Mrs. Kessler wrote to the
lawyer and sent proofs that she was
Henry's s%ister,s She then got n letter
from Andrew and q few weeks later
Andrew came otto Passaic to- see her.
He recognized her and she knew him,
NO, in spite of his heavy beard. He
told her that Henry had saved his
money and bought land years ago,
when no one knew how valuable
Cleveland property would become. lie
was a rich man when he died.

CHICAGO, June with an audience
that crowded every foot of sitting or
standing space from main floor TO top
gallery, and with over 2,O00 people un-
able to gain admission. the Chicago
opera house L. ST night inaugurated Its
sixth extravaganza season. The pro-
duction proved more brilliant than
even its famous predecessors, the
'Arabian Nights" Crystal Slipper
and "Sinbad." The e~Atravaganza
deals with the love affairs of Ali Baba,
a poor w~oodcutter of Iiagdad, and
Morgians, his slave. Ali Baba, in or
der to win the heart of Morgiana. who
has been seized by tho caliph of
Bagdad, undertakes to discover
the cave of the two-score oriental
robbers whose de~predations have
made existence in Bagdad burdensome.
Around this story. the extravaganza
Is woven. Many old fayorites are seen
in the cast. including Ida Mule, Ada
Deaves, Bessie Cleveland, Habbette
Rodney; the premieres lIulda Irmler,
Madeline Morando and Martha Irmler;
Arthur Dunn. Dan Hart, Henry Nor
mar and Alfred c. Fwbcelan. The
scenic effects surpassed anything ever
seen in this country, and the enchant-
ed forest Of falling water, the ealiph's
palace, and the birth Of the butterfly,
the latter u brilliant transformation

SUSTAlNS BISHOP IRELAND.

Another Letter From the Pope Approx
ing the -Faribault Plan. y
ROME, June 4..The pope has replied
to Il letter from Archbishop Corrigap.
of New York, requesting him to d~-
avow Archbishop Ireland's school
plan. The response takes the shape
of n letter to the bishops of the pro-
vince&of New York reapproving the
Observation-Disclosures scheme.
The letter confirms and emphasizes
the exhortations of the perfect of the
propaganda. The pope expresses the
desire that the bishops work to the
end that Roman Catholic children do
not attend schools without religious
instruction. The questions hereby
raised should be discussed shortly at
the Episcopal councils.
The pope's wish is that nothing
should be taught in the munich
pal schools which offends the
consciences of the Roman Catholic pu-4
pits, and, he adds, he hopes that the
protestants will abandon their atti-
Jude of. suspicion toward the church.
The pope; moreover, makes an appeal
for peace, brotherly love and the union
of hearts within the church.
Archbishop ireland, of St Paul,
MINI started on his return to the
United States. He will not travel d.
rect, but will make short st ps in
France and England.

up at the jefferson msrket police

on Tuesday night. officer Connolly
located Dixon this morning at 61 West
Nincty-fourth street. lie was out for

he would call again. Commissioner
Koch says in his complaint that Dixon
in Il sermon preached on May 30 said
this:
al he city government bids defiance TO
the sentiment of the community. Grant
has just appointed koch as excise com.
missioner. This fellow was the biggest
scoundrel of all the board, the one man of
all men who deserved to be kicked into
oblivion. lie stands indicted for the vio-
lation OF his oath as commissioners and
should he in The penitentiary today. He
came up 10 the standard of the mayor and
was reappointed
Commissioner Koch says that not
only did Dixon make these statements
TO his congregation but he sent them
in circular form to the different news
paper offices and to newspaper CORE.
~spondents, thereby obtaining for them
n.wide circulation.

New York Charitable Institutions Collect
hoard for Dead Children.
New YoIK, June At has been
found that several of the institutions
In New York for the care of poor chill
dren have been robbing the city in the
name of charity. In this city are about
twenty institutions which care for
children committed by the police mag
istrates. They receive 81 n week from
the excise fund for the care Of each
CHI Id. The institutions make sworn
monthly reports to. the comptroller
showing the number of such children
cared for and the number of days each
child has been in the insti ution.
These reports are accepted as
the basis of appropriation by
the board of estimate and APP
pointment Comptroller Myers has
had two of his clerks employed for
some, time examining these institutions
for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the reports filed from month
to month are .correet. Five institutions
have beer examined SO far and two, it
appears, nave made incorrect reports
by carrying children on their lists and
collecting the 81 a week long after the
children were discharged from the in
stitution. In n case the amount thus
wrongfully obtained from the city was
over SO, 600 apd'in the other case over
$4,000 The comptroller refuses to
give the names of these Institutions
until he has completed his investiga-
tion. - Ae-,,
