A Letter From Pope Leo to Dean

New YORK, Jan. 15.-Rev. DR.. Nc
Glynn tonight said that in his letter to
Mgr. Satolli he had neither condemned

he had been teaching.
'And yet" he says, "thanks to the

Of Pope Leo XIII. and the willing
readiness of his worthy representative,
Archbishop Satolli, in carrying out his
instructions, have been relieved of
ecclesiastical censureS and fully re-
stored to my priestly ministry.
''Now that, as is made clear by the
published statement of Archbishop
Satolli, we are relieved from the restraint
of certain considerations OF prudence
and delicacy, am only too happy to
publish the letter which L presented to
the apostolic delegate, and his accept

"MonsignOr: | am very happy to

willing to face even death for Jesus;
but when he had so basely deceived
him, he did not repent until he saw in
the face of Jesus that his treachery had
not affected Jesus love for him. There
was the same affection he had always
met. 1t broke Peters heart. He went
out and wept bitter tears of remorse.
Had he seen any signs OF anger or re-
proach it might have stirred him to
anger. But Peters repentance and
deeper love lifted him nearer Christ.
Judas had little love for Jesus il he
had any; Judas love for mony had
hardened his heart, and it would re-
quire greater expression of love upon
Jesus part to break that adamant than
it would in the case of his other disci
pies; Judas even sought to bring his
master to death before he saw the eX-
preston Of love that melted him: but
after he found Jesus was condemned,
and, at time when any other man eX-
cept his dear Master would have had
some retaliating and condemnlng
thought, this tender Savior looked upon
him as he never had before. only long
ing to make him better. Then Judas,
for the first time, knew what true love
was, and loved in return. He did not
repent through fear, but through ap-
probation of Jesus character and the
longing to be like Him. This must be
true. He abhored the deed and its price,
and flung the money at the feet of his
false friends, and in remorseful despeI-
alton went out and hanged himself, and
so passed from the sight Of those who
were here to meet the demands of being
farther on. What good does it do then.
you say. to punish people? 1t does a
great deal of good. If the laws OF our
country did not punish criminals.
society would have very little
protection. .JaiIs and penitentiarles
do not reform criminals at heart, but
they do restrain the outward act. Yet
this punishment will never make the
lawless element positive factor for the
elevation OF the masses, nor will it ever
lift the sinner to saint.
Ministers who preach the wrath Of
God instead of the wrath of god Sim
will argue that men will not cease to do
evil if God is represented as love only.
Why not? Did not Jesus teach God is
love, and also that He is all power? Try
it and see. We have tried too long to
overcome evil with evil. Why not try
jesus remedy? What is that? To over
come evil with good dove.
That is our work. We have no other.

Legislators Have Time for
Only Reforms Demanded
by Corporations.
The Annihilation OF Ticket
Brokers the Subject Now
Being Considered.
9ne Of Senator Motifs Constit-
uents Gives Him Political
Advice.
Craig's Land Grant Bill and
Davis Fire Insurance
Measure.

The legislature has not been in session
long. but sufficient time has elapsed to
allow il to become very evident that
there will be 10 remedial legislation as
promised by the Republican platform
and alluded to by GOV. Nelson in lis
inaugural message. The committees in
both houses were put up to block legiS-
latlUn, and they are performing their
duties well. There are any number OF
bills in affecting the railroad and ele-
Vator combine, for example, but they
are all resting quietly in pigeon-holes
in the committee room. On the otlef
hand, compare the expedition with
which the railroad committee in the
house move on any measure asked by
The railroads.
About tour days since Representative
Van SAINT. in the house, and Senators
TaWnpy and Burkhardt, i'll the senate,
introduced the bill by winch railroad
ticket brokers are 10 be wiped out Of
existence. While each Of these gentle
men pretend that they were moved to
introduce this bill by request OF the
railway conductors, no one acquainted
with the history OF Il similar measure
introduced two Years aEO can be per
suaded that this bill is anything but
railway bill, The bill introduced two
years ago was drawn by the attorney OF
one OF The railroads ceHtering in this
city, and great effort was made to
force it through, crooked work even
being resOrted 10 in the house to adj
vance the measure to a place where 1t
could be reached.
Representative Van SAINTS bill is to
be reported back during The next few
days, when an attempt will be made to
push it through the house, iii order that
it may reach the senate carly. As has
been before stated, this is a railroad
measure pure and simple. Not citi-
zen Of the state, except, probably, few
railroad conductors, has asked for it,
and yet this is the only measure deemed
Of enough Impor G. to be taken up
and pushed. The action OF the house
committee on this bill proves what has
all along been asserted, that ;he COM
mittees are perfectly satisfactory to the
great corporations that are fearful OF
legislation.
AS things look now, ninety days will
not be long enough for tie railroad COM
mittees of either house to report back
needed reform bills, while a week will
do for a favorable report Oh something
desired by The railroads.

VINING VERY GOOD,
But He Was Nevertheless Smooth
FOrger.

But He Was Nevertheless Smooth
Forger.
HAyERHILL, Mass, Jan. ia SEN
sation has been caused in Georgetown
by the arrest of Frank Vining, prom
inent citizen and Sunday school super
intendent, who, by his own confession,
is forger. Over two years ago Vining
came to GEORGETOWN with good refer
ences, and purchased a half-intereSt in
business with Harold f. Blake for
$4,000 paying $1,000 down and giving
notes as collateral for the balance. The
notes bore gilt-edged names, but Winning
always opposed their negotiation, and
finally confessed that they were forged :.
He confessed also TO forging otherNotes,
the amount aggregating some S1l.0O0.
Of which the Georgetown National bank
held $500, the savings bank 1000, and
Mr. Blake the rest. These were mostly
settled by parties interested and given
a chance to reform. Within few
months, however. other checks indorsed
by Vining, bearing the signature of
ID. L.. Outor. of this city. have been pre-
scented to and protested by the George
town bank, Outon having no funds
there, and these transactions led to
Winnings arrest. He is in Jail in default
OF $4,000 bail.

BULLET IN HIS BRAIN.
"A Shooting Gallery Keeper Found
Dead in Chicago.


CHICAGO, Jan. 15.--John Russell, the
proprietor of a shooting gallery on Hal
sted street, was murdered in his place
of business late last night. The crime
was not discovered until noon, when
DR.. Funk, dentist living near the
shooting gallery, notified the police that
two women had called upon him and
told him that something was wrong in
tie gallery. The officers burst open the
door and Russell was found dead, bull
let having pierced his brain. While the
officers were in the place woman whom
DR.. Funk declared to be one OF the two
who had called upon him, came in
with a physician. She was at once
taken into custody and gave the name
of Mrs. Rosa Sherwood. She said that
she had been i'll the habit Of calling
every morning to do RusselPs house
work, as he was an unmarried man.
This morning she had come as usual
with her sister, Mrs. Annie Hewitt, and
when they were unable to get in the
front door of the gallery, she had gone
to the rear door. Mrs. Hewitt had ell
tered first and found Russell lying dead.
Then they had gone for DR.. Funk. Mrs.
HcWitt's story agreed with this except
that she said Mrs. Sherwood hrst en-
tered the place. She contradicted her
self Oh several points, declaring that
she had not been near the gallery for
six months until this morning, and then
admitting that she had been there last
night. Both women were detained.

An FOR ONE SIDE.
Senator C. II. Davis would Revise
Fire Insurance Policies.

Fire Insurance Policies.
The Minnesota standard fire insur-
ance policies contain several provisions
contrary to justice and reason. One OF
these was recently brought up III the
supreme court. and the decision, while
bat carving out the law, created no
small amount OF indignation i'll all parts
of the state. This Objectionable pro-
vision requires that in case of loss the
insured must procure a certificate from
the nearest justice OF the peace, magis-
Iiate or notary public, judge or other
official as to the loss. This requirement
sometimes throws it INTO the power OF a
mans worst enemy 10 certify regarding
the los, he has sustained.
Senator c. Il. Davis, Of NiCOliet, has
introduced bill prohibiting the inSer-
ton of this provision in future policies
and also providing that the insured
shall not be obliged to SubmittO arbitra-
ton. AS the law STANDS now this arbl-
tratiOn clause is a jug-handled arrange
ment, fer, while the policy holder must
submit to arbitration the insurance
company need not. The main portions
of this bill follow:
Section /. No fire insurance com
pauy heretofore or hereafter empOW-
cred TO do business In this state shall
issue or use. III this state, any policy OF
insurance wherein It is conditioned
that the insured named IN SHch policy
Shall be REQUIRED. in case OF loss, 10 pro-
cure the certificate of the nearest JUS
tice of the peace, magistrate, notary
public, mayor, judge. or other official or
person, as to such loss. or The amount
thereof, or the circumstances under
b5cl, tina H!IITpH Of
fact in relation thereto.
Sec2. 2. No such fire Insurance
company Shall hereafter insert IN any
Of its policies issued TO residents OF this
state any provision OF condition where
by the person, frm or corporation
through whom sHch Insurance was Oh
tanned from such fire Insurance COM
pany. shall not be regarded rs Its agents
for all purposes connected with such
insurance both before and after loss,
whether such agency be verbal or Ill
writing. nor shall such fire insurance
company insert in any of its policies 81
issued any condition Or agreement
limiting in any manner the authority OF
any agent who negOtiateS insurance OF
issues policies for such company.
Sec. ). No such fire insurance com
pany shall hereafter insert in any OF liz
policies issued to residents Of this state
any condition or provision whereby the
insured, in case Of loss, is bound to sub
nit such loss to arbitrator or APP
praisers.
See. d Any policy of insurance here
after issued 10 residents of this state
which shall contain amy OF the condi-
tious or agreements enumerated in this
act, shall be void as TO such conditions
or agreements.
Sec 3. Any ire insurance company
that shall violate any of The condition,
OF this act shall he forever excluded anC
prohibited from doing business i'll this
state.
See. 6. All acts or parts CT acts il
conflict or Inconsistent with this act are
hereby repeated.
