LEFT HIS CHURCH AND MARRIED.
DETECTION OF the Secretary of Bishop
Keane, of the Catholic University.

Detection OF the Secretary of Bishop
Keane, of the Catholic University.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-There is a de-
cided commotion in Roman Catholic Church
circles here over the detection of Merwin
Marie Smell, private secretary to Bishop
Keane, the rector of the Roman Catholic
University and lecturer upon comparative
religion in that institution. DR.. Smell is a
young man of remarkable scholarship,
author of various books on religious SUBJ
jects, and q frequent contributor to the
church reviews. His works have ALWAYS
breathed the deepest loyalty to the Roman
Catholic faith, and his most recent books
ended with the declaration that if any word
written was counter to the doctrines of the
mother church it must be considered nil
By his own choice, alter deep delibera-
tion, DR.. Smell has cut loose from the creed
which he had espoused when beginning his
scholarly career, and declared his allegiance
ended. There was little romance in the
manner Of his leave taking, too, for it was
first made known by the announcement of
his marriage. On Christmas eve DR.. Smell
was married to Minnie Gilbert Sprague, the
youngest daughter of Presbyterian clergy
man here, and the ceremony was performed
by Rev. j. c. Rankin, the Congregational
President of the Howard University.
This step excommunicated me from the
Catholic Church, Jpse facto, 3" said DR.. Smell
last night. 81 do not anticipate any formal
accommodation from the powers that be.
Ny decision was made at the point where
my study of religion made it possible for
me to no longer remain an honest communi-
cant of the Roman Catholic Church"

MANY TIMES A DESERTER.

Incidents Enough in a Boston Criminals
Life to Fill Any Biographical Soldier
of Two Nations and Sailor on Every
Sea.
BOSTON, Dec. 29-Confued in Jail is Q
man whose history reads like romance.
Although but % years of age, he has seen
nearly the whole world and been through
many exciting and trying adventures His
right name is George William Richardson,
but he is now under arrest on the charge OF
larceny under the name of Harry Kelly.
According to his story he was born in San
Francisco. When about IL years old he
shipped on a merchant vessel as fireman
going to Hong Kong, where he left the
ship. From there he drifted to India and
Australia, thence to New York and later TO
London. AS stowawayhe went to Egypt,
returning to London and then to New York
and Boston.
At the latter place he enlisted in the
navy, going to the South Pacific station.
Two years of his life were spent in plying
along the coast up to Callao One day, for
disobeying the rules, he was placed on
lonely island known as Sandy Point, and
from there beat his way to San Francisco
by slowing away on a small mail boat
After that he enlisted in the Sixty-nlnth
Infantry, Prince of Wales Regiment, was
court martialed and sent to Cairo, thence
to India, and afterward to Cork City, where
he deserted the English army.
Coming again to Boston, he enlisted IN
the United States army, deserted, Joined
the navy, and deserted from that. He again
enlisted in the marine corps, but deserted
at Norfolk, Va, on account of trouble with
an officer For this latter desertion he was
arrested and served 8 term in the Charles
town navy yard prison. After serving his
sentence he shipped on vessel for Yoko-
hama as fireman, finally working his way
back to Boston, where two years ago he was
sentenced to prison for housebreaking.
This sentence he served out, but since his
Liberation he has again been caught thiev-
ing, and this last charge against him is for
the theft OF shoes from North End store.
He was sent to the house of correction for
four months, from which he appealed, but
he claims that next week he will withdraw
his appeal and take his sentence.

Federal Officers Nosing for Illicit Opium
Light Upon a Find.
BOSTON, Dec. 29.-The inspectors of the
Treasury Department believe that they
have discovered smugglers' rendezvous in
Boston. They have known for some time
that good deal of opium has been coming
into Boston on which no duties were paid.
A sharp watch was set, and as result an
arrest was made this morning which the in
spectors regard as likely to lead to the ar
rest of others.
The person arrested is one Simeon
Matheiu, proprietor of the Central Vermont
Hotel, and the charge against him is the
concealment of $50 boxes of opium, valued
at 81, $50. The opium, the Inspectors say,
is in boxes containing half pound each,
and not box has paid a cent of duty.
Matthew was taken before Commissioner
Fiske this forenoon soon after his arrest,
and was held in $500 for a hearing to-
morrow. He pleaded not guilty.
