has brought TO the surface o great deal Of
talk about the two men and their relations
to each other and to Tammany Hail. and

tween them and the causes Of friction that
have been exhibited.

tion Of him whenever and wherever they
may meet just the same as he refuses 60

out Of tho discussion in the chamber Of

The Restoration Of the Suspended Priest
Made Complete.

NEW YORK, Dec. e6-Dr. Mc6lynn S

mass ia q church af5er years Of absence
The Church Of the Holy Gross on Forty
second street between Eighth and Ninth
avenues, had crowded pews, aisles ana pas
sages Numbers Of persons were unable
to gain adnittance to the interior Of the
building The gathering and the general
interest manifested by tho worsbipers
were alike due 60 tho fact that the church
was to be the scene Of the temperance
Of DR. Edward McGlynn as an officiating
priest
1t was nearly eight years ago that DR..
McGlynn was removed from the rectorship
Of St Stephens church by Archbishop
Corrgan The events which preceded his
removal are still fresh in the public mem
ory and give point to the interest shown
in his reinstatement. Many Of the priest S
old parishi0ners were present at the sery-
ices. They We're among the most deter
mined to soc and hear their old rector.
The interior Of the church was beauti-
fully decorated with evergreens and flow
ers. The white altars hlazed with lights
and the CLEAN Of sacred symbols Three
masses may be said by priest on Christ
mas day. DR. McGlynn availed himself
Of this trio Of gacred privileges Each Of
the services was as well attended as that
Of the early morning.
DIR. MeGlynn himself appeared to bG
in good health and high spirits His face
was flushed with excitement and his voice
clear and resonant When he entered the
church, something like muImur Of JOY
and satisfaction ran through the congre-
cation. AT this point two or three women
tainted with excitement After the first
gospel was read DIR. AIcGlynn preached .

things that the peace OF Christ was a.

which emsnates from the leader Of a

TO meet with opposition from those who
disagree with him politically. It is to
be regretted that questions like that Of
the tariff and finance, could not be
settled in a great country like ours on
statesmanlike grounds without regard
to the endless number Of prejudices and
schemes which enter into party politics

subject OF the trial is concerned, might
with advantage be tried by the Board OF
Public Education The New-Century

something to cay in matters pertaining
TO tbs education Of her children, has
petitioned the board to appoint one OF
more Of the gentler sex to FIJI existing
vacancies This suggestion does not
seem to strike the gentlemen who have
charge Of the minds Of the rising genera
tion, and who believe that they are the
better judges as to what books shall be
studied and better able to decide whether
plain tin or galvanized iron shall be the
material used in the drinking cups
There are few OF the commissioners who
could be brought to tolerate the presence
of women In their deliberations, but they
are IN the minority.
Would 1t not be good thing TO try
the experiment. There is vacancy in

board has been unable to Gil. while
there is, undoubtedly, ample timber in
this ward out Of which coed member
can be hewed, no one possessing the

voter combined, can be induced TO accept

the Ninth and try the experiment, so to
speak, on the dog.
