BY the Bishop of Winona in His Stand
on the School Controversy.
CHICAGO, Aug. 5-[Spscial Bishop
Cotter. of Winona, Mimi, speaking of
Archbishop Corrigan's recent letter, said
to-day:
Its pubIcation is timely. 1t should practi-
cally put an end to the controversy over the
Fairbault and Saltwater schools, which had
all but died out anyway. l do not think the
present fuss over Archbishop Corrigan's let

mortal has not yet reached this country.

Archbishop Ireland will suppose that he
meant to infer that Catholics in
this country were likely to be per-
ment Of the school question. Irchbishop
Corrigan's letter does not indicate that he
thought anything in the nature of threat
had been made. The Fairbault system has
practice in Indiana, New York, the Gulf
States and Wisconsin Any discussion OF it
with reference to the conYen ton at Balti-
more is out of the question.
Archbishop lreland's position is sus-
tained by the Catholics OF the world. The
position is above all an American one, pro-
vides tor the respect of the children and
their parents, and demands that those
be respected. When an American parent
petitions school board to assign his
child to certain teacher, the rights
of that American citizen SO

of religion being taught in the schools at all.
Archbis hop ireland and no other priest
asks the States servants to teach religion.
That is a matter only for the teachers of re-
ligion, and they can SO teach at any time,
outside Of school hours.

POLITICS AND A RACE FEUD

Blamed for the Murd r Of Judge Henry
Long From Ambush.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 5.-[Special THE
shooting of Judge Henry Long from am
bush, few nights ago, at Kennerville, just
above New Orleans, has aroused great Bit
terness there. The whole trouble is at
tributed to political enmity, and has re-
suited in race feud. The parish officers
have been working up the case against the
assassins and made number of arrests On
the other hand, a number of negroes and
white men who are in sympathy with those
who attacked Judge Long have held meet
ing and are said to have formed a plot to
force number Of white residents out of the
place. 1t is said that they had threatened
to burn down the stores of Mrs. B. Felix,
Angelo Palmisano, and the residences of
E. Stahl, F. Becker and Judge Longs
mother.
The situation finally began to look some
what serious and Mr.: Stahl swore out an
affidavit against several of the negroes for
threats. The warrants were placed in the
hands of the Sheriff, and a number of negroes
in the neighboring parish of St Charles
were locked up in the parish Jail. A large
number of others are to be arrested, charged
with being implicated in the attack on
Judge Long or engaged IN the conspiracy to
drive the white people out of Kennerville
The population of that town is almost ex-
clusiyely colored. Some of the arrested
negroes have given valuable information as
to the shooting. Reports to the effect that
the prisoners are to be lynched are denied.

Allegheny City to Have = Female Ward
and Matron.
In a few days some extensive repairs will
be commenced in the Allegheny police sta
tion. When they are completed the place
will present different appearance
The hearing room will be remodeled in a
number of ways The old stone floor is to
be removed and substantial wood one will
take its place. That will be covered with
linoleum. This will be great improve
ment over the loud-soundng stone floor.
The cell portion will also come
in for some changes. The OLD
hospital department is to be fitted
up for female department. The cell ar
rangement will be like that in the Four
teenth ward station, Pittsburg, the lower
part wainscoating and the upper half iron
grating. When this ward is in readiness q
matron will be engaged. This will be a
new feature in Allegheny. At present the
windows are the old d-fashioned kind. They
will be replaced by glass of great deal
larger size.
One OF the changes has already been
made. The entrance for prisoners is now
on the north side ofthe hall. This entrance
was used for the first time last night. Every
time an arrest has been made large crowds
flock to the station entrance to see the pris
oner With the door at the north side the
authorities believe such crowds will be
avoided.

WHAT ELKINs, OF YALE, THINKS.

de Cautiously Takes Ground Against the
Theory of Men Being There.
NEW HAVEN, CONN, Aug. 5.-Prof
Elkins of Yale, W hen asked this morning
concerning statement which he was re-
cries made by means of the telescope at the
Lick and Washington Observatores dis
proved the theory that the planet Mars was
inhabited, said: II do not mean to say
positively the theory has been disproved,
but that is my OF inion, since nothing has
been discovered by recent observations by
powerful telescopes to confirm in the
slightest the theory that there are intelli-
gent beings on the planet"
"Well, Professor, while you apparently
do not believe that part of Schiaparelli's
theory that Mars is inhabited, is there not
something in your opinion to Justify the
belief that the planet is filed with animal
life?"
Undoubtedly there is some foundation
for that part of the theorv Many as
tronomers, while admitting that there is,
dispute the assertion that there is water or
food on the red planet, as Mars is called.
believe that the canals upon which Schia-
parelli based his belief that there were in
telligent human beings there exist, but
neither the most PROMINENT astronomers OF
the present day nor myself can find any,
thing to warrant the belief that these canals
were made by human agency. There are
air and water at least and other condi-
tions NAV exist which render the planet
inhabitable. What Schiaparelli thought
were canals are either natural waterways or
only valleys. Mountains are discernible
through powerful telescopes, but it is diff
cult to tell just what the indentions on the
surface of the planet are. Another argu-
ment against the theory habitation is that
we have advanced no further towards con-
frmation in thes last 80 or 100 years,
although the instruments used are much
more powerful and more nearly perfect than
they were that number of years ago. From
what 1 have read of the recent discoveries
at the Lick and Washington Observatories
and from nv knowledge of astronomy, do
not believe that Mars is inhabited.

MISS BORDEN SUSPECTED.

FALL RIVER, MASS, Aug. 5.-No posi-

of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew j. Borden. Four
policemen are on guard az the house, and
have been patroling the neig ghborhood since

aDenver Observer SayA
DENVER, Aug. notwithstanding the
general interest manifested in Mars in ref
erence to the probability of its habitation,
the Chamberlain Observatory at Denver
has practically been abandoned. The fault
seems to lie in the impracticability of the
present plant for fine scientific work. Prof.
Howe, who has charge of the observatory,
has been absent from the city, and the only
calculation made upon Mars was the
work last night of the two young men
connected with the observatory, and it was
not satisfactory.
Incidental to the present interest in the
planet are the curious so-called revelations
regarding the Inhabitants of Mars given to
the correspondent by Judge Daniel Parks,
a prominent legal adviser of this city. He
has been deep student of the science of
astronomy and astrology for some years, and
while pursuing his business at Leadville,
Col, several years ago, he claims to have
made some scientific researches with
the assistance of fine private
into the mysteries of this planet.
MY studies" he said, "have developed
some startling facts. 1 have been in direct
communication with the planet Mars tor
two years and know that it is inhabited by
a race of beings whose knowledge and
spirituality is far in advance of the bright
est scholars of the occult upon our sphere.
The men in Mars attain to an average height
of seven feet and the average length OF life
is 100 years Their science of building is
infinitely superior to that of the earth.
"All of this have learned from Tekel
Meme, one of the most distinguished savants
of the fiery sphere. He is also acquainted
with our civilization"
These words sound vague and visionary,
yet Mr.. Parks is cool, logical lawyer,
whose business reaches into the thousands.

A NEW ORATOR NEEDED.

Chicagoaus Now Opposed to Breckenridge
as the Worlds Fair speaker-HIs Vote
Against the Appropriation May Cause a
Call for Depew.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6-[Special 1T is more
than probable that at an early meeting of
the Ceremonies Committee of the Worlds
Fair action will be taken from which Con-
gresham Breckenridge, Of Kentucky, can
plainly infer that his services as orator
Of the day on the occasion Of
dedicating the exposition buildings are not
desired. Chicagoans and exposition Off
cials are disgusted with the opposition he
manifested to the passage of the W orld's
Fair appropriation bill.
When he was chosen orator Of the day
fault was found with the SELECTION, espe-
cially by friends OF the exposition in East
ern States. These objectors believed that
Chauncey M. Depew more nearly filled the
bill as a typical American orator, and
numerous attempts were made to have the
Doctors name substituted.
Thacker, the Democratic member of the
National Board from New York, came to
Chicago and proposed to have Mr.. Depew
deliver an oration also. He wanted Depew
to have place where he would be equally
as prominent as the kentucklan, but the
project had to be abandoned.
While nothing was said to the Ken
tuckian on the Worlds Fair measure, it
was supposed that he would be found
among its friends when it neeeed his aid
in Congress. Mr.. Breckenridge though
persistently refused his aid the
Fair. When it was not posi-
BILE for him to be in Wash
ington to vote against the bill
in person, he managed to pair himself
against the measure. In the event that
Breckenridge either withdraws or is re-
quested to withdraw, it is probable that
Depew will accept the place, for a number
of the committee have been in HIS favor.

NOT so SOON AS EXPECTED.

West End Eectric Cars Will Not Be
Running for Some Tim.
Work on the West End Passenger Rail-
way Company's lines is progressing slowly.
1t was expected that the electric cars would
be running by the middle of August or at
most by September. 1t now looks as
though they will not be in operation before
January 1. Work was begun on the new
tracks ten weeks ago, and only small part
of the line on West Carson street has been
finished. The part now completed includes
less than one. fourth the entire line.
A member of the firm in speaking of the
work, said yesterday: 81 hardly think the
line will be finished before three months or
cars running much before the first of JAN
uary. There is a city ordinance requiring
work of this kind to be stopped on Novem-
Der l. There will have to be some lively
work, at least faster than that done in the
past, or some of the work will not be done
until next spring. The part now finished
has been the worst, however, and when
West Carson is completed more progress
will be made.
The work on the power house, which is
located at the foot of the Point bridge, is
being pushed as rapidly as possible. The
brick work is nearly completed, but none
of the machinery is yet on the ground.

By whirling Shaft in the Factory Where
She Was Employed.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-[Special Emma
Boyer, 16 years old, who lives with her
widowed mother, had her right arm torn off
by machinery in Thomas B. Clark's factory
at 458 East One Hundred and Forty-fourth
street to-day. About noon Miss Boyer
went out to lunch, and on returning she
tossed the little packages of food supplies
down on bench, and laughingly danced
across the floor, saying: "Oh, I'm going to
have a ride on the shaft" ''Don't, you
will get hurt" her companions cried, but
the warning came too late.
"I'm going to-" she shouted back, as she
gathered up her skirts and seated herself.
In an instant her light dress was entangled
about the shaft and she was thrown to the
floor.
Before assistance reached her Miss Beyer's
arm was twisted about the shaft until her
side and back pressed against the support
ing brace. Muscles and bones parted and
the arm was torn off two inches below the
shoulder. She will probably die.

Is the Way Bishop Cotter Characterizes the
Corrigan-Ireland Quarrel.
CHICAGO, Aug. 5-Bishop Cotter, of
Winona, Mimi, who was in Chicago to-day,
said:
1 do not think the fuss over Archbishop
Corrigan's letter is justlf1able, for it is, to
my mind, based upon Misunderstanding
of the circumstances. Archbishop Irelund's
memorial has not yet reached this country,
but rough draft Of 1t, evidently taken by
some one none too certain of his ground.
Upon this rough draft the present trouble
rests. No one, l think, who knows Arch
bishop Ireland will suppose for moment
that he meant to infer that Catholics in the
country were likely to be misrepresented on
account OF any settlement of the school
question. Archbishop Corrigan's letter does
not, think, indicate that he thought any
thing in the nature of a threat had been
made. There has been misunderstanding
all around, based on that rough draft of the
memorial which have spoken OF.
