AFTER EIGHT YEARS
Dr. McGlynn Is Restored and Holds Mass in the Presence of
 Vest Numbers.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-The Rev. Dr. 3d. ward McGlynn celebrated high mass at the Church of Holy Cross, on Forty second street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues. It is eight years since Dr. McGlynn was re- moved from St. Stephens church by Arch bishop Corrigan, and on this Christmas day he is restored again to full connection with this arch diocese.
 Tbe mass which Dr. McGlynn conducted began at 4:30 o'clock in the morning, but there was not standing room in the church long before the ceremony began. Hundreds of people stood along the aisles of the church, and the worshippers extended out into the street.
 The practitioners of St. Stephens, Dr. McGiynn's 's old church came in great num- bers. The crush was great that several women had to be assisted out of the church in half fainting condition. After the first gospel was read Dr. McGlynn deliv- day, taking as his text the words: "Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, good will toward men,''
 After the mass Dr. McGiynn held a quiet levee in the sacristy. His old parishioner5 3 of St. Stephens crowded around him, shook him warmly by the hand and wished hIm happy Christmas. The doctor looked very happy as he received the congratula- tions. lie preached at II o'clock mass also. He will soon start for his new parish 1, St. Mary's church, Newburgh, where he has been assigned by Archbishop Corrigan. :.

COTTON FOR JAPAN

TO BE SHIPPED BY MOBILE MERCHANTS.
 THE SECOND EVER MADE To THAT CoUN-
 TRY.
 The Mobile News of last Monday says:
 Mobile comes to the front again. This time it is a shipment of cotton to far-away Kobe, in Japan. Only one shipment of the staple has thus far been made from the United States, and thea Houston, Tex, secured the prize. That was several years ago and no furtber shipments followed. Now Mobile comes forward and lays claim to the distinction of being the second port to obtain an order.
 The Mobile and Ohio railroad, the told reliable,n on Saturday closed a contract for the shipment of 300 bales to Kobe. This cotton will go via St. Louis, thence to Tacoma, Wash, where it will be taken aboard ship, and the journey to Japan will conclude with a sea voyage.
 It Is estimated that the trip by rail to Ta- coma will consume ten days time. From Mobile to Tacoma the distance is 5000 miles, and from Tacoma to Kobe, Japan, 5000 more miles are to be traversed.
 The Mobile and Ohio is to be congratp- lated on obtaining this business for Mobile, and it is hoped that more shipments will follow, and that very soon.

 TOM FRAUDS, HAS FLED.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Hermann Have, who was indicted by the federal grand jury for entering false invoices and undervalua- tions at the custom house, has fled. August Wuensch, contractor, went on his bond for $5O00. The bond was ordered forfeited in the United States circuit court yester day. Haye was the head of the dissolved importing firm of Hermann Have & Co. He was arrested on November IS last, charged with having sworn falsely on June Il, 1892, that a certain invoice which was accompanying two lots of enameled iron ware correctly represented the value. The true value of the ware was set forth in a secret invoice, which arrived on a later steamer, and which showed that Have had greatly undervalued the goods. It is said that these methods had been practiced by the firm for several years, and that the loss to the government amounts to $100, 900.

JACKS0N'S MONUMENT. Which for Years Has Stood as a
 Stigma and Shame, TO BE PROPERLY CARED FOR Daughters of the Revolution to Take It in Hand and See
 to It's Completion.
TO BE PROPERLY CARED FOR

NEW ORLEANS, La., Dee. 25.-About forty years ago it was decided 10 perpetuate the great victory of January s, 1915, and erect a shaft on the spot where Packenham fell that should for all time out to fu- ture generations lhe story of the triumph oi American patriotic vaor, even though outnum bered, over the hired troops of the pig he aded English monarch. For time the idea was immensely popular aud the work progressed satisfactorily. Then it languished, and finally what was intended to be a naton's recognition to a great sol- dier's valor fell into almost absolute decay and until quite recently seemed to bs "uobody's child" Everybody seemed ashamed of it, aud "Jackson's monu- ment," in a stunted condition, stands con- fessedly crying shame to a patriotic, chivalrous people.
 Latterly much attention has been at- tracted to this monument. The travellers from the east, and cheap trippers from the north and west seldom, when in New Dr. leans, fail to make pilgrimage to the monument.
 Daughters of the Revolution have organ ized and their intention is 10 have the monument completed and the grounds at tached forever cared for and preserved as oneof the national snow places or the Crescent City.
 In truth, it is time that somebody took hold ot the matter. The editice is falling to pieces. From the topmost layer of brick and marble have fallen great chunks of the shaft. The brick base is unsighty, and the whole thing is rapidly approaching ruin. Weeds are creeping all over and a rank, noisome odor rermeates. every DOT ton of the pile. The iron circular 8 siairway is falling into decay, and an ascent is now really not only difficult, but dangerous. The interior is in an indescribable filthy condition.
 Ths whole is a serious reflection on everybody, for it is everyoody's business, if necessary, to chip in and complete tue monument, repair the base, plat out the grounds adjacent and thoroughly conserve this spot, which is sanctied by the blood of hundreds of pat riots who gave up their lives forming with their breasts barrier to British aggression. Against these he- roes Packenham's s troops could not avail. .'Thrice armed is he who hath quarrel just,' and the god of battles was with these patriots the day they met the foe on the plains of Chalmette. er

DYING MAN NEDDED. Pathetic Marriage Scene at the h Wellington Hotel. v
 s BRIDE AND A WIDOW The Bridegroom Passes Away Within Twenty-four Hours
 After the Ceremony.
BRIDE AND A WIDOW

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Albert Preston Hulse, chief clerk of the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern railroad, died at the Wellington hotel yesterday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock. His wife, and his wife of only twenty four hours was by his side when he died.
 Deceased was resident Of Chicago, for many years in the employ of the Wabash Railroad company and the Chicago, Bur lington and Qaincy. About three years ago he went 10 St. Louis to become tho chief clerk of the traffic association of that city. Last September he returned to this city to engage with the Outer Belt line, and while absent from the city he became affi cted with aneurism of the heart, and he succu mbed to this s fii .ctou. week ago last Saturday he was forced to relinquish work and take to his bed.
 He was betrothed to Miss Ollie Hope- well of Arcola, Ill. , and she was early ap- prised of his dangerous illness and at once came to his bedside, where she remained as his nurse, day ana night, until he died. Twice their marriage had been postponed because of his atf1 ction, but 1t was set for January l, and both were prepared and happily looking forward to the consumma- ton of their hopes when MT. Huise was again stricken, and, as 1t has proved, fatally.
 WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO HOPE.
 SalurOay morning UT. IN. D. DiVlS, JT. the attending physician, realized there were no hopes of his patients recovery and revealed the gravity Of his condition 10 him. Calling his betrothed to his side the dying man asked her to marry him then and there. She consented, license was procured and Justice Murphy summoned, and the two were welded. The groom was propped up in bed and the bride took him 'in sickness with as much emphatic. though h sorrowing love, as if she said 'yes' to long years of happiness.
 After the ceremony the recently made husband seemed to drift away, the wife sit ting for hours, indeed almost all night, holding his hand as if to keep him with her. As the night came on Saturday Rev. MT. Larrabee of the Episcopal church of the Ascension was summoned and admin istered the last rites.
 All day yesterday the patient fingered in a semi conscious state, reviviug at inter- vals to recogniZs his wife with smile, but never speaking.
 His wife held his hand as he died, and then, overcome and prostrated, she was taken from the presence of the dead by friends.
 Deceased was born in Monroe, Orange county, thirty years ago. His parents still reside there, and were advised of his dan ger, but neither could come to him, as both are invalids. A sister, Mrs. N NJ. Milington of Monroe, Mich, was present by the death bed.
 Arrangements for the funeral will be made today. Widely known and popular as was her husband among railroad men, the young widow has friends to assist her in the hour of her bereavement, and all the details of the foneral will be well ar ranged.
