FATHER MoLL1NGER's BUSY TIME.
The Rush to Mount Troy Increasing as 81
Anthony's Day Approaches.

The Rush to Mount Troy Increasing as St.
Anthony's Day Approaches.
The rush to Mount Troy, the home of
Father Mollinger and the site of his little
chapel, is increasing as St. Anthony's day
approaches. The boarding houses, as we'll
as the street cars, are doing q lively bust
ness. AS many as 25 people to the car were
carried up to Troy Hill between the hours
of and 10 any morning the past four or
five days. They come from all parts of the
country, and it is not infrequent that an
afflicted person from Dakota or California
seeks the aid of the priest. Father Mol
linger claims to be more successful in the
cure OF the sufferers on the first day of June
than any other time of the year, and the
crowds which flock to see him on that day
are enormous. Those who fail to be cured
return each year, and thus the number in
creases annually. No remarkable cure has
been effected so far this year.

Fayors Women as Law Members.

The Rev. G. E. Locke left for Omaha last
evening to attend the General Conference
of the Methodist Church. He was going
there to favor and advocate the admission
of women as lay members, the extension of
pastors terms and the Limitation of the
Office of bishop. The latter serve for life,
but Mr.. Locke thinks term of years should
be fixed. He believes the preachers should
be allowed to stay in one place as long as
they are acceptable to the congregation. "

HE WAS A BRAVE FELLOW.
Sketch OF Mate Riggin, Who Lost His
Life In the Gillian Riot.

Few knew him except his brother
and his sisters, yet Charles w. Riggin,
one of the victims Of the Gillian
crime, murdered in the streets of
Valparaiso while he wore the navy
blue Of the United States, was Phila
delphia born. His home was here,
says the Inquirer, and the child he
loved is here. The dispatches and
the papers tell Of him as the boat
swain's mate, notas the sailor prentice
boy who, sixteen to the day, walked
aboard the training ship Portsmouth
at League Island Feb. 10, twelve
years ago. His brother says he was
a handsome lad. His picture speaks
for him afterward.
He did his best to get ahead in the
two years he was learning to be a
man-of-war's man. His medal Of
merit later on shows that he had
"Fidelity, Zeal, and Obedience" for
his motto. He won it when he was
a full seaman on the Tennessee. She
was the flagship Of the North Allan
tic Squadron then, and he gave his
services the full cruise-three years.
He liked the water and the flag he
sailed under so well that immediate
re-enlistment came to him naturally.
AS of the old vessel he was sent to
the torpedo station in Newport har-
Dor for advanced instruction. Sue
cessful again, he was pushed on to the
gunnery school at Washington, and
there he gained the skill to make the
model that his brother prizes, a mini
allure of the six-inch rifle, with its
shining barrel, on land carriage in
stead Of the sea rest.
From the Government shops he join

again it was on Thanksgiving Eve, In

he was subsequently admitted into
the Military School at Rio, where he
graduated with honors. Nominated
to sub-lieutenancy shortly before
the outbreak Of the war with Para
quay, he played gallant part in sew

rapid, and at the battle Of Aquida-

commanded the ninth regiment Of
infantry. He took no active part in
the deposition Of Dom Pedro in 1889,
but was a member Of the Constituent
