VICTORY FOR BOEAcUM.

OMAHA, Dec. 24-The priests OF the Lin

Bishop Bonacum for two years, have sur
rendered They admit that the bishop has
won, and if he has not been sustained at

Satoili visited Lincoln for the purpose
of settling the trouble, but was unable tu
do so. The matter was appealed to Rome,
hut if ever passed upon, the verdict was
never made public. The moral otfense OF
Father English was his testimony against
the bishop in the Corbett case in Nebraska
City last May. When the question OF
authorities on the canon law was under
consideration, the bishop and his support
ers testified that the work OF Father
Smith of Paterson, n. j.. was not re-
garded as an authority on canon law.
Father English contradicted this testi-
mony, and produced a letter from the
bishop instructing him as judge of the
diocesan court to study Smith on canon
law" which he regarded us the best work
on the subject.
Within 60 days after giving this testi'
mony, Father English received orders to
vacate Hastings mission and report at
David City on Sept. Il. An appeal was
taken to Satolli, who assured james
English, brother of the priest, that the
trial would be granted, "but not now,
said the delegate mot now. Tell him
that he will understand"
He never had trial The priests an

One OF the most beautiful Of the holiday books
is this Holland. by E!moudo do Amcis. There
are two volumes. bound exquisite!y in white.
with the tulip flower outlined in gold for the
network border OF tho covers. Within are
photographers of Dutch scenes cities, bridges,
shady canals, windmills. idle boats, towers, and
churches-al soft aud brown as etchings.
Amicis is one of tho foremost of Italian
writers, and his books of travel are all well
known. He gives just tho proper proportion
of description. history, personality. and humor
to make his books interesting without being
superficial aud valuable without being heavy.
Holland, the floating country" gives him rare
opportunities for description His picture of
Holland rs the Roman soldiers viewed it is worry
striking.
Holland was then almost uninhabitable.
1t WAS composed of lakes vast aud stormy as
seas lowing into each other; mafshes and
morasses thickets and brushwood; OF huge
forests. overrun by herds of wild horses; vast
stretches of pines, oaks, and alder trees. IL
WAS dreary country, swept by strong winds,
scourged By continual rains, aud enveloped in
Il perpetual fog, through which nothing was
heard save the moaning of the waves, the roar
ing of wild beasts and tho screeching of the
sea fowl
The enemy against which the Dutch had
to defend their country was threefold-the sea,
the rivers, aud the lakes The Dutch drained
the lakes. drove back the sea, aud imprisoned
the rivers"
