Ny Dean FArHER Mod oNHELL: You'll
or any other person, ecclesiastic rlay-
man, will be perfectly safe in challeng1 Ding
enquiry as to the anteoedents ofsunfor-

MeCabe's time he broke down very badly
from intethperance About 9 fortnight
before the Cardinals death he received
an appointment on condition OF binding
himself ina most strlngeDt way to to-
tai abstinence pledge. There was g dis
tinct written ultimatum-ths original OF
which I hold-that this was to be "the
last chance" Well, he broke down
again. I thought it right, even after
this, to give him one chance more, OF
course with the intimation that it would
be the last SO far as was concerned. He
broke down again and was unable to
have anything more to do with him. l
may add he was not educated in May
nooth. It would be we'll to show this
letter to the Bishop, leaving it to him in
his prudence to make what use he may
think ft Of this information.
I remain, Dear Father Mcdonnell,
Sincerely Yours,
WILLIAM j. WALSH,
Archbishop OF Dublin.
We mentioned recently that out west
and on the Pacific slope ex-priests and
ex-nuns are getting as thick as hair on q
dogs back-in fact so numerous the
business of the travelling frauds has
pretty much dwindled out, but there are
still people eager to sit and listen to the
sayings of such characters. The San
Francisco Monitor in an article hesded
Ellis nameis Dennis" gives the follow
ing account concerning the doings OF an
other alleged ex priest who has been
having jolly time at the expense of the
Baptists of Oakland. The Monitor says:
"John d. DAILY, an alleged expriest, who
has been electrifying the unco-good of
Oakland with narrowing tales OF the con-
spiracy of the Catholic Church against
the public schools, was on Tuesday night
taken to the city prison to slnmber after
the effects of a mighty and omnipotent
Jag Mr.. DAILY has electrified the peo-
pie OF Oakland with his narrowing tales.
He led the congregation in prayer, sang
psalms with an JUNCTION born of a desire
to fill the aching void of his epigastric
region, and by series of narrowing tales
brought dollars to his pocket. Mr.. DAILY,
true to his instincts, joined the Baptist
church, but fearing that external INNER
sion, without corresponding liquid in
ternal counterpoise would upset his
equilibrium, proceeded to fill the inner
DAILY. He succeeded, and kind police
man gathered him into the warm en-
brace Of prison cell.
The amusing side of the DAILY rise and
fall, however, is the CONSERVATION his
new-found Oakland friends expressed at
his enforced absence Visions of his I'M
timely determination by indignant Ca
tholics filed their minds. One of them,
Mr.. Davie, who aspires to be Mayor of
Oakland, ascribing his departure to an
incident exploded about the same time,
and going out of the way to pay gratui-
tous insult to the Italian Catholics, being
the most vehement in his claims that he
was done up by Catholics. He said to
Times reporter:
Il believe they've done him up
Whom do You refer to?' he was asked,
why, the Catholics of course replied
Mr.. Davie, who else would attempt it,
r X +
IT was Rev. Days Intention con-
tinued Mr.. Davie, to locate here and on
the day he was in my Office he was very
much elated over his lecture Of the night
previous.
when in San Francisco to-day I called
at police headquarters and was shown
the billy found on the Tivoli steps the
other night. The Italians who were
thought to have carried it are probably
Catholics, as most Italians are and es-
pecially low ones.
OF course don't say that these men
had anything to do with Rev. Days
disappearance, but then everything
looks strapge, and in fact it's mysteri-
Gus case all around and intend to in
vestigate it thoroughly"
Instead, Mr. DAILY reposes with ensan-
guined proboscls and battered face I'm
der Chief Crowley's care, charge Of or
binary drunk against his name-'John
Dennis DAILY, drunk A late dispatch
from Oskland states that extensive pre-
partitions are being made to welcome
DENNIS back, his Baptist friends having
Clipped in to pay his tine."
