PROPOSED Requiem SERVICE.
In Memory of the Late Calvin II. Rhoads
1t viii be Public Function.

There Is movement on foot in
musical circles of the city for grand
public requiem service in memory of
the late Calvin B. Rhoads. His friends
of the musical profession and also SOME
of the warm personal friends of the
deceased recognize the fact that the
necessarily private services ct the house
did not afford adequate opportunity for
expression of their sentiments towards
their departed friend in those particular
paths of the great profession which he
and they trod so pleasantly for SO many
years.
1t is this sentiment that inspires them
to the idea that the fuller recognition of
Mr.. Rhoads' genius would be found only
in a public function of the nature lndi-
Gated.
AT an early date there will be a meet
ing of the musicians and music lovers
of the city when preliminary arrange
ments will be made and given to the
public.

BEE DIR. WILSON CRITICISED.
Called to Account for His Attack OF
Catholic Priests and Sisters.

Called to Account for His Attack on
Catholic Priests and Sisters.
The New York Herald published the
following Thursday:
To the Editor Of the Herald. The Rev. DR..
John A. ID. Wilson of the West Eighteenth
Street Methodist Church in his address to
the ministers assembled at the Bible House
on Monday last made very serious charges
of blackmal against priests and sisters of
the Catholic Church, and. furthermore,
stated that he had proofs of the same. In
rending to-day's Herald | see that one of
your reporters called on tho reverend
gentleman at his residence to investigate
his assertions, aud asked him if he could
furnish the Herald with proofs of his
statements. This he could not do, but adj
vised him to call on third party, who
would give him the necessary proofs.
Your reporter did so, and called on the
Rev. Mr.. Wright, who had no proofs to
furnish, and whose answer was, II can't
imagine why Mr.. Wilson sent you to me-"
1t rs well known that the sisters do go
round and collect money and other neces-
saries for the maintenance of the poor and
orphans under their charge, and do call at
certain places on pay day, whether it be at
the engine house, police station or else
where, and thankfully accept whatever
any one may be pleased to offer them.
But there is no such thing as n person
being obliged or compelled TO assist them.
No sensible person can find fault with
those sisters for begging if they consider
that those ladies have given up all
parents, home, friends, wealth and the
pleasures Of this life-to devote them
selves entirely 10 the care of the poor and
orphans in u life of poverty and self-sacri-
flee.
think person holding the position of
the Rev. DR. Wilson should be more cir
cnmspect in his remarks. as this is not the
first instance in which he has been unable
to substantiate his statements.
Dr.Wilson, knownothingism and bigotry
are things of the past. They have had
their day and we have seen their fruit.

q verdict before Judge Dallas to-day for
S2l3.25ln favor of the Jessup e. Moore

ton of old india rubber shoes, which were
classified by the customs officers as manu-
features of rubber, dutiable at 25 per cent.
whereas the Jessup IL Moore Co, alleged
that under the tariff act of 1888 the old
shoes should have been admitted free as
crude rubber.
