DIR. McGIynn's Position,

The Rev. DR.. Burtsell of Kingston, NJ Y,
says that he felt called upon to make a
statement in regard to the restoration of
Rev. DR.. McGlynn and his present stand
ing In the priesthood. In accordance with
this sentiment he furnished the following
to the Associated Press, for publication
"Dr. McGlynn, from the day he was re-
heved of accommodation by Mgr Sa-
TOLL, was priest in good standing in the
diocese Of New York, and simply by his
own wish no proposition was made to have
him appointed to any particular locality.
Mgr. Satolli at that time declared pos
itively that DR.. McGlynn's teachings on
the land question were not in any sense
contrary to the doctrines Of the church
and that he was free to maintain them
as any would be to assail them, because
they were merely a question of political
economy. 1t was entirely by DR.. Nc
Glynn's own volition that any application
for local position was postponed to the
present time"

WATCH YOUR WEDDING PRESENTS.
II You Don't an Honored Guest May
Walk OF With Them.

IL You Don't an Honored Guest May
Walk or with Them.
From the New York Herald.
Here is a story that illustrates two facts
first, the foolishness of persons making
bogus wedding presents, or IL not bogus
presents, pretentious gifts, and second. that
no matter how carefully you may invite
your guests to your marriage, II is well to
watch them, for people in good society will

AS far back as 1855, in a small Hudson
river town. a young woman was married
to her fathers confidential clerk. In addi-
ton to winning his bride, the young man
secured partnership in his father-in-law's
concern, and on the day OF the wedding
there were displayed, as was the custom in
those days, the presents. Among them was
a check for $4,000 from the brides father.
The couple lived happily together for
nearly thirty years, when the husband
died. At intervals the wife visited her old
home, met and conversed with her old
friends, reared her children in the fear OF
the Lord, and was in every way a good
member of society. A few years after the
death of her husband, her father, then
venerable old man, died. When his estate
was settled the daughter and widow found
herself charged in the will with $4,000, to
be reduced from her portion of the estate.
but" said she to the executors, Il
fair to deduct IL from my portion of the
estate. 1 don't care to contest the will, but
think there must be some mistake about
II. I recollect the check among my we'd
ding presents, but / never saw IL after
ward. / supposed my husband took IL. and
IL he did IT was all right, but 1 have no
proof OF IL either way"
The executors were in a quandary. and In
some way the news of the missing check
became known In the village. Then sur
prising thing happened. One OF the most
respectable citizens of the town, a promi-
nent member OF the church, came forward.
and, after a good deal OF hesitation, drew
from his pocket faded slip of paper.
See what my wife found in an old suit
OF clothes" said he. 'T-I-I-don't know
how II came there, but / thought IL might
be of some service to you"
1t was the $4,000 check. Whether In jest
or with the intention of stealing IL, the re-
spectacle citizen had put IL in his pocket.
Having II once in his possession, he found
IL an awkward instrument. He was equal
ly afraid to use il or mention the fact of
his having IL, until thirty years later, when
the discussion regarding the will made 1t
possible.

SIEVE SHAKES AGAIN
Convicted Bartender Re-
leased i'm the Criminal Court.
Flimsy Evidence i'm His Behalf-The
John Walters Gambling Case
Taken Under Amusement.

In the Criminal Court yesterday Judge
Cox acquitted James Howard of the charge
of selling liquor on Sunday. The prescott
ing witness was patrolman Thompson,
who spent a half day trying to locate Pat
McNelis's bar at the Occidental Hotel, and
finally succeeded. Through a neat piece of
strategy he gained access to the bar room
in time to notice the bartender ring up 30
cents on the cash register. Three whisky
glasses sat on the bar and as many Gus
toners stood by. The patrolman arrested
Howard. He was convicted by Police
Judge Stubs and appealed the case 10 the
Criminal Court. Here he was accorded the
usual favor extended to liquor violators.
titled against the officer. whose reputation
for truth has never before been questioned.
The bartender contended that the guests
had been drinking ginger ale instead of
whisky. The price for three drinks Of
whisky, he said, would have been 40 cents.
ON this f1imsy defense Judge Cox discharged
the prisoner.
The court took the case of John Walters,
charged with keeping a gaming house,
under aGyisement. One MetZler claimed TO
have lost $50 in a poker game with James
Gordon and a man named Watson. The
witness testified that Walters, the proprie-
tor, was not present while the gambling
was going on, and also that he had warned
card players not to gamble. The patrolmen
on the district, who know the reputation
of the house, testified that Walters MAIN
tanned a gambling house.

CHINA DECORATORS EXHIBIT.
Some Beautiful Work Shown OH Plates
and Vases.

The exhibit of decorated china opened
yesterday at H. Lieber's. The work shows
a decided advance in the art over that of
last year. Among those who have some
pieces are Mrs. d. W.. Coffin, who has a
case full of plates, cups and saucers and a
few odd pieces. A delicate teaset of French
design has an ornamentation of Cupids'
heads, which is very attractive. Most Of
the plates are of flowers. a fish platter
has a fish and a bit of net, which is effect
lively arranged. Miss Mary Heron has a
variety of articles. One, a plate with a
figure of a child, in a Florentine frame, is
one of the best bits of work in the collec-
ton Mrs. a. E. Ferry has quite a large
case full, and some of them are the work
of her pupils. A pair of vases with Bou-
gereau's Night and Morning are very hand
some, and several brush trays with "Old
figures in original designs. Miss June Boil
ton has a picture of a Cancelled postage
stamp on a stamp box which is excellently
done. Mrs. NJ. II. Cox has a pair of vases;
Mrs. f. j. Cooper has a vase and a cracker
jar, both of which have the wisteria de-
sign; Mrs. r. p. Craft has several pieces
has some bon-bon boxes and vases that
show merit, and her Irwin STAR vase is
unique; Miss Bessie Jenkins Warne has a
ferent dishes, and Miss NJ. L. BrumfieId
has a pretty bon-bon dish in the collection.
Mrs. William II. WEIGH has a chocolate
colored chocolate set amid a variety of
other pieces, and Miss Beardsley displays
among other things an old blue bon-bon
box with a delicate picture in French coll
oring. Mrs. John Julian has a few vignette
plates in green and gold, and a dainty tete-
a-tete set and a vase and bouillon cup in
Rocco. Miss Alice Ross has several pieces
of enamel work in turquoise and a plate in
gold paste which are very beautiful. Mrs.
w. G. PhippS has as fine work as any
shown. A cracker jar in Rocco is eX-
quisite. and shows excellent taste in decora-
ton. A punch bowl is in grape design, very
faint in color, and the edge is Of etched
gold. There is very little new in china
decoration which some one artist does
not show in the exhibit. The china will
remain on exhibition for three DAVIS.

SHUT OFF FROM z
Thomas Perry Makes Charges Against
Justice of the Peace Daniels.

Milton H. Daniels. justice of the peace,
is the defendant in a mandatory suit
brought yesterday by Thomas Perry. The
plaintiff was arrested last week at the in
stance of Matthew Carver, landlord of the
premises at No. 1877 West New York street.
Perry was the tenant, and, so it was
claimed, refused to give up the house. The
case was tried by Justice Daniels, and
Perry was fined / cent and costs. In the
complaint filed yesterday he seeks to APP
peal to the Circuit Court. He alleges that
he had a contract with his landlord which
gave him the property as long as he paid
the rent, and as long as the contract was
agreeable to both parties. He further
shows that he was not given notice that
the contract was to terminate. He says
that he was ready to appeal to the Circuit
Court, and rendered his bond for $500, but
charges that the court required a bond of
5000, with real-estate security in the sum
Of $4,000, thus preventing him from APP
pealing. The plaintiff says that if he is
compelled to give up the house his family
will be thrown into the street. and the
court is asked to stop the writ of restitu-
ton, and to issue a mandate commanding
the Justice to order the appeal.

THE OLD SYMPATHY RACKET.
A Man Falls in the Street from Alleged
Want of Food.

Shortly after 6 o'clock last night n man
fell on the sidewalk in front of DR.. Ham
mond's residence, No. 100 North Pennsyl-
vania street, and attracted a large crowd
by stating that he was exhausted from
want of food. He also complained OF suf-
fering from a severe attack Of neuralgia,
and DIR. Hammond administered to the fell
low, despite his many p~rotestations. The
citizens then stated that it would be best
for the man to be removed to the City
Hospital. DR.. Ferguson was informed. and
on being given a description of the man at
once refused TO allow MIN admittance. He
said the fellow had been at the hospital
several times before and was an impostor.
The man seemed highly delighted ON being
told he would not be removed to the hos
Dital. and, by pathetic looks, succeeded in
getting liberal contributions from the by
ISLANDERS. He asked to be assisted to a
street crossing. where he stated he in
tended TO board a street car and go to
the Friendly Inn. He was taken to the
crossing. but as soon as the sympathizing
friend left his side the fellow fled down
the street and was soon out Of sight.

CANNOT ESCAPE A TAX.
West Indianapolis Will Lock After Its
Brewing Company.

The West Indianapolis Council met last
night with but two members present, Coun-
Gilman Herig being out of the city. Coun-
Gilman Pierson introduced an ordinance to
raise the license of the retail liquor dealers
from $50 to $3.50. He also. introduced an
ordinance to assess a license of $3.50 on
the wholesale dealers. There being no sec
ond, as President Hagerdorn thought that
all the members Of the Counci should be
present before any action should be taken.
on the matter, the ordinances were laid
on the table.
1t is thought that the object of assess
ing q license on wholesale dealers is to
catch the Madison Brewing Company,
which moved from the city to West In
dianapolis to escape the city license. West
Indianapolis has at present no ordinance
assessing a license on wholesale dealers.
Attorney Spencer was ordered TO notify
the Vandalia and Big Four railroads to
place flagmen at the Harding-stree cross
ings. The companies have been notified to
do this a number of times before, but
no flagmen were placed there. Bills
amounting to $50 were allowed.
