in his old age when the children are

This interesting experience proves
two things: First, that, however out OF
the ordinary or seemingly impossible It
may be, the average woman will set
herself at work upon the duty that lies
nearest, whether that be cutting cord
wood or peddling apples For
the cheerful and heroic soul was
Just the average woman, nothing more.
She had good hard sense, devotion TO
those whom she loved and for whom
she made herself willing sacrifice,
and these are the attributes of the ay-
erage woman us we see her every day.
1t proves, In the second place, that
unusual work does not lessen woman's
obedience to "his' wishes, however i'm
practical, and that her nature is not
inherently changed by any of the vicis-
of her daily life, whatever they
may be. This, however. will not en-.
tighten those who are the blindest OF

tons OF sex will continue, just as IL they

the outward bearing of the servants was
of a more cheerful nature than fora week

The communicated New York
Priest Forgiven.
M. sAToLLrs DECISION FAVORABLE

Through the Age ncy CT Father Burt
sell, of New York, the Eloquent
Priest Is Again Restored TO: His
Place in the Church.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The famous
ease Of Father McGlynn, of st. Stephens
church, has finally b5en decided by the
restoration to him of authority to per-
form his priestly functions. The settle
ment of the case came within the scope
of the general power vested in Mgr. Sa-
TOLL, the rapal legate, and the decision
was promulgated by him last night at
the Catholic university where he is stop
ping.
Tho case was first formally presented
to Mgr. Satolli on Wednesday last by
Father Burtsell McGlynn's friend and
advisor throughout his controversy with
the archbishop, which resulted in the
suspension of the priest, and then his
practical accommodation. He pre-
sented the plea of the deposed priest at
the close Of which Mgr. Satolli told him
to return TO New York and communi-
cate to DR.. Mctflynn "a message from
him 1.-THE mOnsignor)
The purport of this message can only
be surmised, but it is likely TO have con
tanned statement of the concessions re-
quired to be made by him in order that
his plea might receive favorable consid-
GRAFTON. DIR. McGlyun's reply was
brought to Washington yesterday by
Father Burtsell, and he and Mgr Satolli
were in consultation over the matter.
The presence of DIR. McGlynn's friend
i'll the city became known, and as re-
sult various reports We're circulated as to
the action of Mgr. Satolli in the matter.
1t had not been the intention of the pa
pal legate to settle the case at this date,
but at a late hour last night the follow
ing statement was furnished the United
Press by representative of Mgr. Satolli:
ITO end the many contradictory tele-
grams sent out TO the university for
inquiry, it is thought eSpedient to state
that DIR. McGlynn was declared free
from ecclesiastical censures and restored
to the exercise Of his plestly functions
after having satisfied the pope's legate
on all the points i'll his case"
The effect of this decision by Mgr.
Satulli is limited. 1t enables Father
McGlynn to serve as Il priest III any par
ish to which he may be assigned. A re-
turn to his old fold at st. Stephens is
subject for furtherN consideration, and
must be settled, the authorities here say,
by Archbishop Corrignn, of New York.
Dr. Burstell returned to New York last
night.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Fhe secretary
of war issued a general order renewing
the agreement entered into by the gov
ernment of the United States of America
and the Mexican states, whereby the fed
eral troops Of the two countries are to
cross over the territory of the other in
pursuit of savage hostile Indians, The
agreement is renewed because of the re-
cent raids of Apaches, under kid"
along the dividing line between Arizona
and New Mexico, and the fear that these
tribes will seek to evade the pursuit of
United States troops by crossing the
frontier into Mexico. The agreement
runs for one year from Nov. 25, 1892.

NO FURTHER ARRESTS MADE.
The Knights of Labor to Defend Master
Workman Dempsey.

PrTTsBURG. Dec. 24.-No further ar
rests were made in connection with the
Homestead poisoning allegations, and it
does not seem likely that any will be
made before January. District Attor-
ney Burleigh is ignorant of any move
ment to arrest the cooks ON steamboats,
and hold them as witnesses. He denied
emphatically that any river cook had
called upon him and made a confession.
AT Alderman McMaster's office a de-
NAL was made that any warrants had
been issued for the arrest of river cooks.
Coroner Mcdowell has decided to IN
vestigate the case of j. NJ. George, Of
Allegheny. He will ask permission from
the court to hold u post mortem exami-
nation on the remains of the dead steel
worker.
1t was reported that the general exec
utivo board of the Knights of Labor has
determined to actively interest itself in
the defense of Master Workman Demp-
sey, and to that end a member of the
board will visit Pittsburg next week and
make a thorough investigation, to report
to the legal adviser of the order.
