As the trial Of Howard J. Schneider for the
killing of his wife progresses the public interest
in the case increases. The court room would
never have held half of the throng which

the taking of testimony was begun, more than
half of those who sought admission were ladies.

Some of the prominent workers. however,
ignore all other distinction and look upon the
coming contest as one between Mr.. Dickson
and Mr. NOrris. They were the leading candi-
dates four years ago. and the fight seems to be
practically along the same lines. Mr.. Gardner
who was with Mr.. Dickson a delegate to the
last convention, is not mentioned formally as a
candidate, although it is considered probab lie
that tins honor may come to him.

QUIT IT.

The lying habit was so engrained IN
the composition of the IRtelltgeReer dur
ing the late campaign that there is
danger Of it lasting through life. Below
Is sample Of the evil habit:
Democrats contend that sll bogus pen
sioners should be stricken from the roll.
To this all the people viii say amen.
Democrats 20 further and contend that all
pensioners are bogus, and here the people
VIII fall out with the Democrats.
If there was anything whatever to be
accomplished by such malicious and
senseless flo. there might be some pal
liation for uttering it, but there is none.
Even the most partizan radical in the
land who has average intelligence
knows the untruthfulneSs OF such a
statement, therefore its worthlessness
for any other purpose than to arouse
contempt. Democrats from Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND down to the humbleSt layman in
the party are in favor OF paying pen
siOns where deserved.
Qdit it. ne:ghbOr. Such stuff is not

Arreated for stealing a watch.

Mr.. Husband, proprietor OF the Wiud-
sor Hotel. at Bellaire, came up to the
city yesterday >-and notified the police
that gold watch had been stolen from
his Office Sunday night, and that be
suspected Silas Freeman, colored, OF
being the thief officer Lukens went
up town with Mr.. Husband, and found
Freeman in a short time. He was
charged with the theft, but denied it.,
and also denied being in Bellaire Sun
day night.
whats your name?" asked Officer
Lukens.
"Silas Freeman"
Mr.. Husband had been behind a cor
ner and the officer called him out and
said:
"Do you know this MANI"
Eyes, SIR"
"What's his Eame?"
"Charles Smith,"
This made Freeman weaken, and
after some hesitation he admitted he
had been in Bellaire. The fact is he
was employed by Mr.. Husband, but
was discharged two weeks ago, and
went by the name Of Charles Smith.
The watch was in money drawer In
the desk in the hotel Office, and Free
man was there Sunday night. No posi-
tive proof could be found against him,
however, and after being locked uD for
time he was released.

A rRoUGHTFUL LECTURE
Delivered at the Cathedral Last Night by
Rev. sheedy of Pittsburg.

Delivered at the Cathedral Last Night by
Rev. sheedy of Pittsburg.
The announcement that Rev. M. NJ.
Sheedy, the eloquent pulpit orator of
Plttsburg, would deliver lecture at
st. Joseph's Cathedral last night, under
the auspices OF the Conference CT St.
Vincent de Paul, served to draw large
number, who were well repaid in the
pleasure of listening to his masterful
discourse upon "rhe Great Precept,
Charity" He is an interesting and
iorcible speaker, and held the undivided
attention OF his hearers. Appropriate
music was rendered both before and
after the lecture.
Father Sheedy discussed the subject
In all its bearings, and showed that the
Catholic church always carried out the
great precept OF the Divine Master.
The church has in every age established
charitable institutions and communities.
There is no phase of human misery for
which she has not provided some ALE
Walton. She rocks the unfortunate in
the cradle OF infancy, cares for them
during life, and soothes them In the
hour OF death.
The speaker referred briefly to the
many communities who minister to the
wants Of Gods poor-the Sisters OF
Mercy and Charity, whose noble work
I in hospitals and asylums has called
forth unstinted praise, even from nom
Catholics; the order of Sisters of the
Poor, than which no work of charity is
more sublime; the Sisters OF the Good
Shepherd, who follow the example OF
Him who pardoned the penitent Magda-
lene, and who are saving thousands
of fallen women from lives of shame;
the Franciscan nuns, who is the Sand
witch Island are mnistering to the vic
tins OF that dread disease, leprosy. The
origin of these and other orders of nuns,
and the work which they have accom-
plished and are performing were given
In detail. In Pittsburg. by the work
of one priest hundreds of street arabs
have been rescued from sin and made
useful citizens. The admirable associa-
tion Of ST. Vincent de Paul has been in
existence over sixty years, and now
number between eight and nine thou
sand conferences. 1t has accomplished
untold good. At the conclusion of the
lecture a collection was taken Gp,
which netted quite handsome sum for
the Conference.

N"What is your opinion concerning an

reporter.

WAR VESSELS FOR THE LAKEs.
Probability That Action Looking to Tha'
End VIII BIO Takan Soon.

End VIII Do Takan Soon
New YORK, December 5.-A Washington
special says: A document on the subject
OF war vessels on the lakes will be sent TO
the Senate by the State Department dur
ing the coming week. The information
was asked for by resolution passed in the
early part of last season, and considerable
surprise was expressed that the reply was
not received before Congress adjourned.
The subject Of the resolution was TO
make the State Department show cause
why the act passed in 1866 requiring notice
to be given to Great Britain OF the desire
of the United States to abrogate the treaty
regarding the number OF vessels TO be kept
or the lakes had not been carried out. The
reply Of the department will be the basis
for congressional legislation looking TO q
modification of the treaty which will adj
nit of the construction OF war vessels by
firms on the lakes. The same resolution
asked the Secretary OF the Navy for In
formation as to whether or not any bids
from lake firms for the construction OF war
vessels had been respected, because work
of this character was held to be viola
ton OF the treaty. The Secretary Of the
Navy promptly replied that one re-
lection had been made on this ac-
count. The state department has
been accused OF evading the joint
resolution calling for the abrogation OF the
treaty. Here are many people who think
the treaty has been abrogated. There Is
no doubt that such q resolution was passed
and it is on record that notice was given to
Great Britain in accordance Herewith of
the intention Of this government TO abro-
gate the treaty. What followed 10 mys-
terry outside of the diplomatic world. 1t is
understood that the statement will show
that the notice issued under the act was
withdrawn within few days after 1t was
issued and that for reasons then In exist
ence both countries agreed to consider the
treaty still in force. 1t will be further
shown that the treaty is so regarded to the
present day by both governments. not
withdrawing the act of 1885,
