his address Bishop Rulison said
81 visited St. Paul's church, Blooms

many changes and improvements. On
the evening of May 7th I made an ad-

House, and attended reception given
there by the ladies, which was in every
way delightful. This building like that
in Columbia is of stone and has fine
hall for the gatherings of the people,
and rooms for the Sunday School and
Guilds, of the parish. 1t is one OF the
best arranged buildings of its kind that
l have ever seen. The furniture for
the whole building has been provided
through the liberality of one of the
most devoted of the parishioners.
Mrs. Hester J. Barton.
Besides all this the tower of the
church, which for many years was un-
finished, has been completed at cost
of several thousand dollars, through
the generous gift of our Honorable
Chancellor, Mr.. John G. Freeze and
his wife, in memory of their children
now in Paradise. And in this beauti-
full tower Mr.. Paul E. Writ has placed
at his own cost peal of bells. The
well known and beloved Rector and
all his people have given generously of
time, work and money to these i'm
provements, upon which, I am glad to
be able to say there rests absolutely
no indebtedness. The Parish will eel
ebrate its one hundredth anniversary

ANTI.CATHOLIC ISSUE.
1t Was a Strong Factor in the
Michigan Contest.

1t Was a Strong Factor in the
Michigan Contest.
DETROIT. Mich, April 5.-The mu-
nicipal elections held throughout this
state yesterday resulted in victories for
the Republicans in number of Demo
cratic strongholds, while the Demo-
Gratis we're successful in others. The
great feature of the election was the
extent to which religion and politics
were mixed in large number of towns.
In such leading cities as Saginaw. Grand
Rapids, Port Huron and West Bay City
and in MANY smaller places, the anti
Catholic issue was very strong
one, and called out a tremendous
vote. In most places the result was
such as to give the anti-CathOlic ele-
ment grounds for claiming the victory,
although in mixed political situation
there we're other contributing issues.
Out of fifty or more of the principal
cities and towns in the state the returns
show victories for the Republic
ans in twenty-five, while TWEEN
ty or more went Democratic. In
number of cities the result was mixed,
while in few fusion or non-fusion
tickets triumphed. Among the Demo-
cratic strongholds carried by the Re-
publicans are Grand Rapids, Saginaw,
Lansing, Port Huron, Muskegon,
Battle Creek, Kalamazoo and Ypsi-
lantI. No election was held
in Detroit. Among the more
important cities in which the Demo
Gratis were victorious are Ann Arbor,
st. Ignace, st. Clair, Pontiac, Manistee,
Big Rapids, Mount Clements. Alpena,
Coldwater, Adrian, Albion, Niles, Ne
gaunee, Bay City, Owasso, Monroe and
Wyandotte. Only in one circuit wasan
election held for judge-St. Clair coun.
ty. Vance (Republicgnl was elected by
about $50 majority.

HOT TIMES AT OMAHA.
Anti-CathoIic Sentiment a Deci-
sive Factor.

Anti-Catholic Sentiment a Deci-
sive Factor.
OMAHA, Neb., April South Omaha
never had such an exciting election as
that which terminated this evening at
shutdown. 'Ghe city is overwhelming
~ Democratic, but during the mu
nicipal campaign the Democrats have
been hopelessly split and a most bitter
feeling has prevailed. The closing
rally of the campaign last night ended
in a free fight, and predictions were
made that blood would flow at the
polls today. There were three city
tickets in the fields-the Republican
and two Democratic. To add to the in
tensity Of the struggle, the religious
question played a prominent part-the
American Protective association being
against the Catholics.
Early in the morning partisan politics
were thrown to the winds, and from al
most the very outset the battle of the
ballots was dominated by fractional
strife. Feeling ran high, and the talk
and demonstration of the excited
friends of the contestants were
not calculated to allay apprehension
or sooth the hard feelings that
became more intense with each passing
hour. So alarming did the situation be-
come that request for official protec-
ton was made of Sheriff Bennett, a
prominent American Protective associ-
aticn man, who responded by send
Ing thirty-fiye deputies to the
scene of hostilities. Their pres
ence seemed to intensity the
feeling and a clash soon occurred be-
tween the sheriff's force and Mayor
Sloane, who contended that the county
officials had no business whatever inter-
fering with the doings Of his bailiwick.
Despite the protests of the mayor, the
deputy sheriffs prepared to act, and at
noon Deputy Sheriff Austin arrested a
man who was peddling at one of the
polling places contrary to the provisions
of the Australian ballot law,
The arrest precipitated the trouble,
and in an instant the deputy and the
prisoner were the center of wildly ex-
cited, surgIng, cursing crowd that
threated to release the prisoner. Friends
Of both were in the crowd. and for seY-

Somers, DEM, for mayor, over Beecher,
Rep, by a majority of from $500 to
5000, together with the whole Demo
cratic ticket. The council will be very
close, probably tie.
The general interest displayed today
has been unparalleled. and never be-
fore has so large vote been poIled.
The odds were decidedly against
the Republicans, being confronted by
the Democratic majority of 7,l0O of
last falls state election, caused by a
general bolt of German Lutherans on
the parochial school question. One
third are believed to have returned to
their old love today.
Sparta, Amigo. Appleton, Chiffon,

CHARLESTON DISCHARGED.
Bemis Fires the Man Who Engi-
neered the Deal.

CHICAGO, April 81 am very sorry
for Carlston. | liked him as hotel
man very much. and lie might have had
an interest in my business had l not
discovered that he was card player. !"
The speaker was Cardinal Ii. V.
Bemis, proprietor of the Richelieu hotel.
and he was discussing this afternoon
a story which had got out to the effect
that a Chicago hotel manager had lost
his place because he was found to be
In league with card sharps, and that
guests of the hotel had been inveigled
into poker games,in which the manager
and two of his friends, whom he intro
duced as 'prominent Chicago mer-
chants" won 100000 by means of
marked cards and other devices.
Eyes, it was Carlston who engineered
the games," said Mr.. Bemis, "but |
don't believe any big money was won.
The playing was done at Haryey's re-
sort, and when | heard Of guests of the
Richelieu being roped into it, dis
charged CarlstOn at once"
Two wealthy Cuban tobacco raisers
and rich Mexican are said to have
been the heaviest losers. The names of
three men from the far West, wealthy
Montana stock raiser and number OF
rich Englishmen are also said to be on
the list of victims.
