MRS. STEVENSON DELIGHTED

And the People OF Bloomington Preparin:
for q Grand JoIlincation.
BLooMINGToN, ILL, June 23.-The news
of the nomination Of Hon. A. E. Stevenson
was received here o few minutes after the
action of the convention. The greatest en-
thusiasm prevailed throughout the entire
county, among the people of all parties
alike. the Democrats almost going wild
over the honor bestowed on Bloomington's s
favorite son. 1t had hardly become gener-
ally known until the telegraph Office was
besieged by prominent citizens sending
their congratulations. The people have
begun arrangements for an elaborate greeting
upon the arrival of the nominee for Vice
President home from the convention, con-
sidering that nothing could have so honored
the town.
The Associated Press reporter carried the
news to the beautiful Stevenson residence,
where the greatest joy prevailed. This
news" said Mrs Stevenson, sis indeed a
great and pleasant surprise to me. 1t was
unexpected on our part, here at home, as
Mr.. Stevenson said nothing of any such
probability when leaving to attend the
convention. True, we had noticed the
many press comments on a probability of
his nomination, but built no hopes upon
them"

General stevenson's Nomination Delights
All the District Democrats.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 23.- The
nomination by the Chicago Democratic
Convention of Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson, as
the candidate of the party for Vice Presi-
dent, was received in Washington with
every manifestation of popular approval.
1t is not too much to say that Mr.. Stevenson
has as many warm personal friends here as
any official whoever held public Office in
the District He was, while in WASH
ington, equally popular with both political
parties, and possessed the confidence and
friendship of Pres ident Cleveland and
every member of his Cabinet, and had the
regard and esteem of Democrats and Re-
publicans in Congress alike.
At the Postof1ice Department, where he
was First Assistant Postmaster General
under the Cleveland administration, many
of the employees to-day expressed their
qualification that this great honor had been
conferred upon their former chief. Mr..
Stevenson's administration of postoffice
affairs was able and thorough, and he gained
for himself an enviable record for efficiency
and executive ability. The Democrats Of
this city consider him an exceptionally
strong candidate.

distinct disappointment to Iowa Demo-

stated he was satisfied with the nomina-

Leading Events of His Term.


The leading events of his term were the
death of Vice President Hendricks, the
Presidents series Of vetoes, especially the
disapproval of the dependent pension bill, /,
his refusal to attend the Grand Army en-
campment at st. Louis, the attitude of the
administration toward civil service reform,
and the various important appointments
made by the Executive TO all branches OF
the Government service. The Pan-Elec-
trio stock transactions. in which some men,
bers of his Cabinet were engaged, were the
subject of Congressional investigation and
the real estate specula ations about Washing
ton in which Cabinet officials took part were
also the subject OF much animadversion.
On June 2, 1885, he married Miss Franses Fol.
SON.
He was renominated for the Presidency in
1888, on a tariff reform platform. but was de-
1eated by the Republican candidate, Cen
eral Benjamin Harrison, who carried New
York and Indiana against him, and won by
a handsome majority in both the electoral
and popular vote.

A RIVAL FOR iRELAND's FAME
Partisans OF Archbishop Gross Claim lie
Is tho Leade of Church LiberaiIsm.

Partlsans OF Archbishop Gross Claim He
Is the Leader of Church Liberalism al.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov. 2S.-There is
considerable opposition in Catholic cir
clcs here tc the persistent claims made
that Archbishop Ireland, of st. Paul,
is the father of tho idea to democratize
tho Catholic church in favor Of public
schools. 1t Is held that there was one
person at the recent meeting of arch
bishops in New York whose claim of
leading the church toward the modern
idea is superior 10 that OF Archbishop
Ireland, and whose influence in favor
Of providing religious instruction for
Catholic children attending public
schools was more potent than that Of
the St Paul p~relate. In other words,
they claim that the long internal fight
in favor of liberalism was waged by
Archbishop Gross, of Oregon, though
1t is true that when the time came for
breaking tho news to the outside world
and making the matter public gcner-
orally, the initiative was taken by
Archbishop Ireland,
Archbishop Gross, who, before his
translation TO the see of Oregon, had
been for twelve years bishop OF the
see of savannah, left behind him in
Georgia the proof of his sagacity III
the matter of public schools The first
move was made in this city whereby
an arrangement was made for the in
corporation of all the Catholic schools
into the public school system. Tho
basis was the adoption of the schools
as they existed, teachers as VOL rs
pupils. At first these teachers were
all members of the order OF Sisters of
Mercy, but now they arc all lay
women. Religion was excluded during
the school hours, but, by agreement.
the pupils and teachers were permitted
to remain half an hour for religious
exercises. A strong fight was made
upon this arrangement, but by avoid
ing newspaper controversy and Il spirit
Of conciliatIon, ii was accepted, passed
into the regular order of things, and Is
now i'm full force. Three of the pub
lie schools of Savannah are
now filled with Catholic chill
drcn. The plan thus successfully es-
tnblished in Savannah, was mex taken
up in Macon, where ii has been main
tanned for years. Augusta was the
next city to be brought over to the
new order Of things, which has proved
SO successful us to be warmly com
mended by Superintendent Evans, who
is high in his praise Of the particular
schools under this rule. Columbus,
also, accepted the system. which
proved so harmonious elsewhere. At
lanta alone of all the larger cities OF
Georgia maintains the warlike attitude
and that is because of the strong
know nothing influence which exists
there All this was made perfect
during the administration of Bishop
Gross. who was transferred IN the
midst of his work TO the rank Of arch
bishop. His work was always carried
on diplomaticaliy without the agita'
ton which newspaper controversy be-
gins His was the first, and stands as
yet the first, diocese in which almost
the whole territory is covered by sucf
nmicable arrangement as places the
Catholic children under control of the
public school authorities.

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 25.-The question Of
free pews has been under discussion
for some time past among the men,
bcrs OF Grand avenue Presbyterian
church, and ii was finally decided that
the old system OF renting pews should
be abolished and FREQ pc wssubstituted.
The pastor of this church, Rev. John
Cannon. delivered n sermon bearing
specifically OF this question and fo..
lowed up the matter by delivering a
sermon historical in charac-
ter also upon the subject.
Tho sermon was entitled IAN
Interview Between Araunah and
David" and his text was taken from
H. Samuel xiv, 22-24 lie illustrated
to the congregation that IL was not
the place of the church to put a price
upon religion, thereby keeping away q
great many persons who would other
wise attend and that IL was the duty
of individual members of the church's
congregation to bear the church out
in this position by giving gratuitously
whatever their circumstance would al.
low. At tho close of the services n
congregational meeting was held and
the matter Of dispensing with tho
rental of the pews was discussed. 1t
was finally put TO n vote and the tax
raised by an almost unanimous vote.

Three weeks ago last Friday -four In

attending the Genoa Indian school, got
homesick and ran away for the pur-
pose OF returning TO their home at

days journey brought them to some
haystacks in Bismarck township. this
county, about five miles southwest OF
Leigh Here they decided TO spend
the night, but had been there but u
few moments when they saw two men
approaching them in u buggy.
The boys were ordered off the land
and being frightened by the actions OF
the strange men they ran, three going
one way and one another. For some un-
known reason the men in the buggy

such precision that hc dropped to the
ground.
The trio by this time had gained the
shelter of another haystack, where
they heard another shot and saw the
two men 90 out 10 where the Indian
boy had fallen.
Fearing to remain longer, the three
boys struck out, reaching the Missouri
river near Blair, after which they fol-
lowed the river up to Yanltton agency,
where they related their story to the
agent. lie did not take much stock IL
it at first, but after several days de-
cided to inquire into the matter.
Colonel Foster, the agent at Iankton
ngcncy, accompanied the boys, who
had como home, down TO Genoa, where
