The Beloved Bishop of the Scranton
See Is Again Very Low-Priests of

Bishop O'Hara is again dangerously

Cape May where he is the guest of his
brother, DR.. O'Hara, and where he went
fortnight ago in the hope Of rseuper-
ating his health.
Since the bishops illness two years
ago he has never been in the best OF
health, but Notwithstanding this he
has labored without complaining
caring for the large interests over
which he has supervision. Recently
he feared collapse and at The advice
of his physicians and friends and the
solicitation Of his brother he concluded
to spend the heated term at his broth
er's Cape May cottage.
HIS STRONG WILL MAY sUCCUMB.
Word Of Bishop OHara's illness was
received on Friday last in this city and
several of the priests at the Episcopal
residence were summoned to Cape
May. 1t was found that the bishop ID

that the strong will which had borne
him through his previous illness might
not be equal to the task of sustaining
this attack, it was decided to remove
him to Scranton.
A special car has been rendered fol-
his conveyance by General Manager
Hallstesd of the Delaware, Lackawan-
ua and Western, and to morrow,
unless some pronounced change occurs,
the bishop will be brought home.

General Gordon's army on its relief
expedition, acting az interpreter.
In introducing his lecture DR.. SaNdis
paid a tribute to General Gordon, class
flying him as hero Of the nineteenth
century For over 1. 300 years the
psople Of Morocco have followed the
Mohammed and Buddhist doctrines
and during all that time they followed
it blindly, becoming madly infatuated
with the creed, and the devotion with
which they perform the duties of their
misguided religion has left them des-
titute Of advancement in moral and
intellectual spheres. Their teachings
impel them to ferocity and no sacrifice
