PRIEST md SOCIETY At VAR.
MEMBERS OF AN ELIZABETH CATHOLIC CHURCH
THREATENED WITH EXCoMMrNICATIoN

MEMBERS OF AN ELIZABETH CATHOLIC CHURCH
THREATENED WITH ExCoMMrNIcATIoN
IF THEY HOLD A PICNIC.
Excitement prevails among the congregation OF
ST. Michaels German Catholic Church, at Eliza
beth, n. j. the sensational attack made
on Sunday from the altar by the PASTOR the Rev.
Albert Won Schilgen. the Young Mems Catholic
Society OF the parish, whose members the priest
threatened with accommodation II they persisted
in holding a picnic Labor Day for the benefit OF
the Alexian Brothers Catholic hospital
The pastor declared that he had seen the brothers
and they did not want any money from SUCH q
source. He had previously forbidden the picnic. az
the society had been disbanded from the altar. and
he now called on the congregation not to encourage
II In any way. either by purchasing tickets or go
ing to the affair.
The trouble between the society and the PASTOR
which has now reached a climax, dates back sew.
eral months. The Young Mems st. Michaels So
ciey was founded by the Rev. Anthony Kruse.
then acting pastor of the church during Father
Won Schilgen's absence in Germany where his fam
lily is prominent He ranked as baron before he
became a priest
The first act of the society was to raise
$3.50 and decorate the pastors house before he came
back He was delighted with this, and afterward
wanted the society intrust its funds to his keep
ing, but their refusal to do so the pastor be-
came offended. and ceased TO regard the society
with favor. Their relations became so strained
that about five weeks Father Won Schigen
forbade the society meeting longer in the school,
house and declared from the altar that 1t was to
be regarded as disbanded. The members did not
take kindly to this ultimatum. and resolved to
continue the organization on an.independent basis
This still more angered the priest, who had COM
manded the society to turn over Its funds to the
church. and when the members decided to hold
a picnic for the Catholic hospitals benefit he
opened his walls OF wrath and denounced their ac-
ton in the severest language. winding up with
the threat of accommodation.
The congregation Is divided on the issue. The
members of the society say that committee from
IL waited on the Alexian brothers. when the SUBJ
ject of a picnic preached, and the brothers
said that they would be happy TO get financial aid
from the society In this manner. Now, however,
through the Influence Of Father Won Schilgen. they
repudae their former action. II is said the picnic
wifi be held and the proceeds given to some charit-
able institution.

The Earth's Age.

A recent contribution of note to
the discussion of geological problems
is that by DR.. Clarence King, in
which he claims to have advanced
Lord Kelvin's method of determin-
ing the earth's age to a further point
of importance. He discusses the ex-
perimental Investigations of DIR.
Barus on the effect of heat and pres
sure on certain rocks and particular
ly selects the Ease of diabase, which
has specific gravity approximately
equal to the average specific gravity
of the earth's crust. In the light of
all the new facts he then reconsiders
the probable rate of cooling of the
earth, rendering more precise the
conclusions arrived at by Kelvin.
As the result of his researches and
Investigations, all of which, it is need
less to say, were conducted On the
widest plane and in the most thor
ough manner, DR.. King concludes
that the earth's age probably does
not exceed some "a, 600, 600 of year,
Notwithstanding the contrary opin
ion held by certain geologists.-New

Bengal Peasant Proverbs.

The wisdom of the Bengal peasant
cultivators finds expression in prov
erbs, of which a collection has been
made by a Babu in the agricultural
department of that province. His
appreciation of the outwardly re
vered Brahmin betrays itself Incl
dentally in the maxim, Rain and in
undation disappear when south winds
blow, like the Brahmin as soon as he
has received his fee."
Other Bengal rural aphorisms are:
Have the land which receives the
washings of the village, and the bull
lock which walks fast, and marry the
girl whose mother is good" He who
works in the field himself with the
laborers gets the full profit; he who,
being unable to work himself, super.
vises the workings of the laborers,
gets half the profit; he who orders
the laborers from his house does not
get enough to at."-London News.

FLYING Machines.

No one has yet by any mental con
struction or any logical synthesis in
Dictated any plan of mechanism by
which to navigate the ali. Any
method of inventing hat is not in
pursuance of a previously conceived
and clearly defined plan is as a boy
at a blackboard, hoping by number
less trials to strike the solution by
chance.
In a flying apparatus it is proposed
to lift dead, imbuoyant avoirdupois
by some kind of mechanical beating
against the air, and necessarily the
dead weight must be on the under
side, and the beating or cleaving
mechanism on top.
This is made imperative by the law
of gravitation. This same principle
of beating or striking, in other forms
of application, is involved in all land
and water propulsion. This feature
that cleaves in the ocean of air must
do one or the other of two things: 1t
must either be applied to bearing on
a large surface moderately or it must
affect a smaller surface with greater
rapidity. GETTYSBURG Dispatch

A Valuable Violin.

In a small town some years ago a
jeweler received in trade a violin,
and not caring for that instrument,
but having a customer for an accor-
dion, he took the violin to New York
and asked if it could be exchanged
for an accordion. The dealer looked
at it a few minutes, then betrayed
excitement and was honest enough
to say that the violin was a genuine
Cremona and revealed the parch-
ment which indicated its make and
the date of it, and he offered to this
jeweler instead of an accordion a
grand piano in exchange for it. What
the history of the violin was before
it came into the jewelers. hands no
one could tell.-New York Letter in

How Lane Came Down.

Edward Lane, a painter employed
IN painting the smokestack of a
Touring mill in this city, recently
passed through a thrilling expert
ence.
He had painted half of the stack,
12O feet high, and had just been
drawn to the top when the hook
holding his platform gave way. He
fell II feet, striking a guy rope with
his legs, which he wound around the
rope in a twinkling, but without eff
feet. He fell again, dropping 40 feet
farther, where he struck another
guy rope, luckily catching it with
both hands and feet. He held on
pluckily, although considerably
bruised on the breast and shoulder,
until help reached him, and he was
lowered to the ground.
1t was a harrow escape, but he did
not appear to be especially disturbed
over his accident and was at work
next day as usual.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

Deaf As an Adder.

The expression deaf as an adder"
is from the Psalms of David, where
it appears in the following form:
Their poison is like the poison of
serpents. They + like the deaf
adder that stoppeth her ear, which
will not harken to the voice of charm
ers, charming ever so wisely" East
Indian travellers tell us that there is
a widely prevailing superstition in
the east to the effect that both the
viper and the asp stop their ears
when the charmer is uttering his in
carnations OF playing his music by
turning one a to the ground and
twisting the point of the tail into the
other.-St. Louis Republic.
