THE DUTY OF CATHOLICS.
Bishop MATHS Arrnignment of the 3.
=. 4. Organization.

DENVER, Oct. Am his October Pas
toral Bishop Matz says the church in Col
orado is passing through an appalling
crisis.
1T is" he says, "sectarian bigotry,
which. ed on by a set Of fanatics bids
fair to outdo the followers. of Cromwell
and the maniacs Of the French commune.
1t is a fact which has called forth the
amazement Of the most remarkable man Of
our time. that an age like ours, and a
country over which floats the American
flag should have fostered this A p. \.
monster which, while il carries the consU-
tuition of the United States in one hand
and the bible in the other. would strange
with its deadly fangs the church whose
children fought so brave.y under the stars
ana strips against tyranny and oppression.
But the fact nevertheless remains, and is
indeed. more strange than fiction"
The bishop urges catholics to vote only
for men who are above prejudice, party
passions and sectarian bias.

Of 1855 he recommended to the legislature
the establishment Of normal schools, and
his suggestion was adopted.
IN 1860 Mr.. Curtin was the republican
candtdate for governor. The democrats,
though divided in national politics, were
united In Pennsylvania. but Mr.. Curtin
was elected by a majority of $4,000.
He advocated the forcible suppression Of
secession and was one Of the war gov
ernors who were most earnest IN the sup
port or the natiOnai government. He re-
sponded promptly TO the first cal for
troops and when Gen. Patterson. who was
in command in Pennsylvania, asked for
25'OO0 more troops they were Immediately
furnished. Gen. Patterson's requisition
was afterward revoked by the secretary
or war on the ground that the troops We're
not needed, but Governor Curtin, instead
OF disbanding them. obtained authority
from the legislature TO equip them at the
states expense and hold them subject 10
the call Of the national government. This
body Of men became known as the Penn
sylvania Reserves" and was accepted by
the authorities at Washington few
weeks later. Governor Curtin was qn-
tiring in his efforts for the comfort OF the
soldiers. a a -weriug carefully the numerous
letters sent him from the fled, and orlgi-
mated the system Of care. and instruction
for children OF those slain In battle, max
ing them wards of the state. He thus bes
came known in the ranks as the soldiers
friend"
Governor Curtins health began TO fail
in 1863 and he signified his intention Of
accepting a foreign mission that had been
offered him as soon as his term should
expire but In the meantime he was re-
nominated and reelected by $4,000 ma
Iority. In November. 1865, Mr. Curtin
went to Cuba for his health. and in that
year declined another offer Of a foreign
mission. In 1869 Gen. Grant appointed
him minister TO Russia, and IN 1868 and
1872 he was prominently mentioned as
candidate for vice-presldent. He returned
home In August, 1872, supporting Horace
Greeley for the presidency and subsequent

conspicuous figure and where his home

esti1g features of tha, locality.

RAT IN HER TRUNK.
Pess. the Circus Elephant, Has a
Strange Experience.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 6.-The reason
for the strange actions of Jess, the circus
elephant, which went on a rampage early
yesterday morning, and, after breaking
her fastenings and nearly wrecking the
circus. roamed through the streets of
San Francisco, has been discovered. Jess
has always been perfectly docile, and
could be handled by any Of the circus
people. While she was being pursued
through the streets this morning by her
keepers they noticed that the animal
acted as if frenzied by fright Finally.
when she allowed them to come near
one of the keepers noticed something pro-
truding from the end of her trunk. He
pulled it out and found that it was a live
rat. The elephant had been lying on the
grouid asleep with her trunk stretched
in front of her, and 1t is supposed that
the rat ran up her trunk. When the rat
had been removed, Jess gave a snort OF
great satisfaction. and made no further
resistance to being led back to the circus
tent.

CHICAGO. oct. 3.-Prof David Swinc
died at $40 o'clock tonight of acute blood
poisoning. brought on by an attack OF
jaundice. This morning Prof. Swings
temperature was very high. He gave no
signs of consciousness. The physicians
attending him would not say anything.
but from their actions and careful at
tendance upon him it was plain that they
regarded his condition as being critical.
and that there was only the merest
shadow Of hope for his life.
Late in the afternoon the physicians an
nounced that blood poisoning had sc5 IN,
and that the patients death could only
be a matter of a few hours. Every possi-
bic restorative was applied in valn and
ten minutes after eight Prof. Swing was
dead.
Prof Swing was born in Cincinnati Aug.

engaged in the steamboat business. At

OF lNt WG<ule>l anu most influential III
stitutiOas Of it's Kind in Chicago.
Shortly after the great Chicago fire OF
1871 occurred the most important event
in the great minister's career-his rial
before the Chicago presbytery on charge
Of heresy. preferred by the Rev DIR.
Francis l.. Patton, now president or
Princeton college. These charges Of
which there were twenty-eight specifica-
tions Of lapse from presbyterian doctrine,
were not sustained there being siXty-One
members in the presbytery and only thir-
teen votes against him. But the sUbse-
quent feeling was so bitter that Prof
Swing brought matters 10 a close by re-
signing his pastOrate. a large numblr OF
his friends going with him and forming
the Central church, in which Prof. Swing
has since labored with great success.
For two years services were held in No
Nickers theater, permanent home be-

Prof. Swing had but two children. The
oldest Of these, Miss Marion married

interview with Miss Lewis at his
mothers home. She granted it, going to
the house from BuChtel college. where

Toiley then went 70 another room and re-
turning with a bottle of chloroform and
a handkerchief, succeeded in placing the
latter. saturated with the drug. over the
young ladY's face. She became partly un-

BELLEFONTE, Pa, Oct 7.-Ex-Gover-
nor Andrew G. Curtin died at > O'Clock
this morning. His end was peaceful. he
having been unconscious during the last

of his family were at the bedside wnen
he passed away. Mr.. Curtin had been in
feeble health for some weeks. but mis- con-
dition grew serious on Thursday last. and

nervous trouble which, upon reaching the
vital point in the brain, ended his life.

aspect physicians were summoned. but
they then abandoned all hopes of recov-
cry, and the death Of the old war COVER
nor was not a surprise.

from Ireland in 1898 and in 1907 estab
lfshed near Bellefonte one Of the first
