COLONEL" TRAYLOR.
He Is Charged With Passing
Counterfeit Money.

Col" WV. Traylor. the very smooth
gentleman. who, whenever he is in the
city, stops at the hotel run by the city
and presided over by men wearing blue
uniforms and brass buttons. was a guest
at the same place Saturday night and
portion of yesterday morning. He was
brought in by Inspector McNulty and
locked up on the charge of vagrancy.
The distinguished colonel was very
indignant when he was broughtinto the
central station and protested that he
was not being treated as gentleman.
The real charge against Traylor is pass
ing counterfeit money. Saturday night
he went into Myers furnishing goods
house on Nicollet avenue and presented
dollar to the man behind the counter
iii payment for some goods he had pur-
chased.
The dollar proved TO be counterfeit,
and later in the evening Traylor was ar
rested by Inspector McNulty. Yester-
day morning. after spending a disagree
able night in close cell, he was bailed
out by Col. Tanner, the amount being
800. A great many counterfeit dollars
ard half dollars are in circulation and
the police are anxious to discover where
they come from. Traylor says he got
the dollar at a restaurant and did not
know it was bogus when he passed it.

the Pope's Letter.

He Goes Into Spasms Because of
the Pope's Letter.
Rev. $50 Lightly Morrill, worked
himself into fever heat last night over
Pope Leo's encyclical letter, and there
by added to the torrid temperature of
the Calvary Baptist church. His stand
up" collar wilted before he was half
through with his discourse, and disap-
peared entirely when he said "amen."
Archbishop Ireland, he said, found
fault because more people did
not read the remarkable
communication of polite Leo. The
archbishop, however. should consider
that the average reader did not care to
be gored and bored to death by piece
of verbosity like the encyciical letter.
The letter was vague. verbose and
job on second-class sheet if
1t took him three columns
to tell story which might be told In
few paragraphs. Rev. Morrill, then
proceeded to rip aud gage the pope's
epistle in the most gruesome manner.
There were but three ideas in it, he
said, and he f1attered himself he could
rip them up the seam quite easily.
In the first place, contrary to Pope Leo's
statement, Christopher Columbus did
not discover America at all. Eric dis
covered Greenland in $50, and in 1000
his son Lief Ericsson found America, or
rather New England. Columbus dis
covered the West Indies in 1892 and not
America. He discovered South America
in 1447, and a year before
that John Cabot had wandered
around in the forests of America.

1t is this traffic that the roads

They are 260 feet long, 81 feet JEAN and
10 feet deep, and will cost, when COM
pleted, about slsO,OOO. They are for
the Toledo, Ann Arbor & North Mlchi-
gan railroad. and will both be COM
pleted this fall, and it is by the aid of
these that the managers of that road
expect to gather in large share of the
coal, and also the Erie traffic that is
now moved by water.
Each OF the steamers will be fitted
with four tracks and will be capable of
carrying twenty-four cars. They will
be operated between Frankfort, Mich.
and kewanee, Wis.,. which route is sixty
miles long and can be covered in six

NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS.
Queer Complications as to the
Officers of Two Steamers.


Officers of Two Steamers.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IAN interest
ing question has been presented to the
treasury department in regard to the
steamships City of New York and City
of Paris, the owners of which are pre-
pairing to have them documented as
American vessels, in accordance with
the provisions of a special act of con-
gress granting them that privilege UNI
der certain conditions. The steamship
company is anxious to retain the pres
ent complement of officers OF those YES
sells, most of whom, however, are
of foreign nationality, and, in or
der to bring them within the law,
requiring vessels of the United States to
be Differed exclusively by citizens of
the United States, the companies took
steps to secure their speedy naturaliZa-
ton. This, however, is a very slow
process.
The officers in question have already
taken out their first papers, but have to
serve out the full probationary period
before they become full-fedged citizens.
Leaving out the question of their finan-
cial ability to remain idle during that
period, the company itself is unwilling
to sacrifice them for the untried men of
American citizenship. Accordingly, as
test case, application was made to the
treasury department for the retention of
Capt. Watkins as master of the City of
Paris during his probational period of
naturalization. The commissioner of
navigation. to whomsthe matter was re-
ferred. had replied that the law is olga
tory to the citizenship of masters of
United States vessels. and that such
citizenship in the case of an alien is not
established until he shall fulfill ali the
requirements of the naturalization laws.
Unless this decision is reversed, the
steamship company will have to secure
new set of officers for the two steam
ships or else delay the documenting of
the vessels under the United States
laws until the present officers can le-
galIy serve.

after historian to show that Columbus
was not the diScOverer Of America, and
therefore one Of Pope LeO's ideas was
smashed into smithereens. Next he
tackled poor Columbus character and
demonstrated that the pope was
wrong again. Instead Of being
moral and religious man. as
the pope claimed, Columbus was the
very essence of depravity and licen-
tiousness. He not only kicked his wife,
but ran away from her, and then did the
same offices. for his mistress. He was
also cruel man. and might be termed
the protector and intrroduccer of slavery
Oh the Western continent.
Rev. Morrill, had not finished with
Columbus or the pope when he reached
limp collar another twist and proceeded
with renewed vigOr. Columbus, he
said, did not begin his explorations for
the good of the Catholic church, and his
discoveries were not prompted by de-
sire to further the Catholic cause. In
vulgar parlance. Columbus went on his
voyages for the ''stuff," or the
money given him by Ferdinand and
Isabella. His errand was certainly not
a religious one. The pope claimed
America by right of discovery, and if
such was the case, 1t had been dlScOV-
cred by very bad man. All this Rev.
Morrill, maintained was germane to the
worlds fair and the church which
supported liquor and Sabbath desc
Grafton. If a monastery was to
be built and maintained OIL the grounds,
to show the civilization of the world
under Catholic rule at tile time of the
discovery OF America, it would be
only fair to add few of the torture in
struments of the inQuisitiOn. Put in
the thumb-screws and piercing irons.
They were needed to make
a true picture. What in the world did
the people of Chicago mean by sect
arianizing the worlds fair? 1t should
be secular, and neither Pope Leo or
his servant Ireland had any right to
name it Catholic.
''Some of u.s." said Rev. Morrill,, wax
ing eloquent. whose fathers died in the
revolution for the salvation of our
country, have as much right to say
something about the worlds fair as
foreigners"
During his discourse the reverend
bianched off into the general laXity of
morals. He said, perhaps, a lot of inter
esting matter could be learned if the
floors of the old Catholic nonasteries
were dug up. 1t would reveal the bones
of women, children and infants.

Gen. Burd Grub, eX-minister to Spain,

applause, and the Chautauqua salute
was given. He contrasted Sunday in
Europe with Sunday in this country.
The morning and afternoon services in
Spain, he said, are largely attended, but
in the evening the people gave them
selves up to enjoyment. He attributed
the greatness of this country to the bal
lot box.

said. "Teach them the ballot laws of
every state in order that they can in

call back the tide of anarchy from this

vote. They should take part in our
elections, and then the country would
be purer."
Gen. Grub closed his address by
giving history of the Caroline island
