the ~. faui' at cramps ShtnyhrH.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 25.-While
thousands of persons were awaiting To see
the new American line steamship st. Paul
launched at the Cramps yard to-day, il
was seen by the superintendent that the
ways mad settled down,apd that the steamer
would not bulge an inch. The crowds
were quickly ordered back, and work began
at once on tile ways.
The launching was finally indefinitely
postponed. Part of the failure is attributed
10 hardening of the tullow used, but the
dominant cause was undoubtedly a settling
of the ways.

Catholic Belief Of Transubstantiation. Editor of Graphic:
 A few of the readers of the GRAPHIC have expressed desire to have from
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1895-05-03

me an explanation of Catholic be- With your indulgence l will give It. In order that no injustice may be done anyone l will quote from the GRAPHIC the words of Mir. Traynor which called attention to the subject: "The doctrine of transubstantia- tion by which the priests claim that bread Is converted into the body and wine into the blood of Christ. How can any man believe that priest can change little piece of dough into the body of Christ when he has not the power to change toad"
 These words to Catholic ears are blasphemous and cruelty misrepre- sent the Catholic idea.
 The catcchism or authorized man ual of the Catholic Church has the following question and answer in the chapter on the Holy Eucharist: What happened when our Lord said, this Is my body; this is my blood?' A. When our Lord said, THIS IS MY BODY, the SUBSTANCE of the bread was changed into the SUR STANCE of his body; when he said, THIS IS MY BLOOD. the SUBSTANCE of the wine is changed into the sub- stance of his blood"
 This Is not converting one thing into another. The change effected by our Lord at the Last Supper and the'ehange effected by the priest in the sacrifice of the Mass Is q change of substance. The external qualities of the bread and wine remain un- changed, as the taste, color and whatever appears to the senses. Christ is now In heaven and his body Is in glorified, spiritualized state, and the change Is necessarily spirit ual while real. Catholics believe i hat when they receive the Holy Eucharist, they receive truly. really and substantially the body and blood, soul and divinity of Christ un- der the form of bread.
 A proper understanding of the word substance would remove many difficulties, and the church wishes by using the word transubstantiation to form her meaning. Transubstan- tiation Is not conversion as used by Mir. Traynor. present no proofs for the truth of this doctrine, as that was not included in the request for information, nor would 1t be in place just now to give them. When our community has recovered their nor mal state of good fellowship, an oc- casion may be taken to give in the. church full statement of Catholic. belief on this and other doctrines.
 Again say let this miserable busi- ness stop and all unite for the public good. J. M. LUcEY.

DROWNED IN THE ARKANSAS.
4 Tramp Meets Terrible Fate at the
 Rob Roy Fridge.

News of terrible accident that happened at Rob Roy last night, reached Pine Bluff this morning. It is to the effect that an unknown man fell from the bridge of the St. Louis Southwestern railroad and was drowned.
 The story as it comes to the GRAPHIC reporter is as follows:
 At q late hour last night the watcb- man at the bridge saw n man walk ing across the bridge He stopped him and warned him off stating that train was expected every moment, and besides, people were not allowed to cross the bridge. The man replied that he had no money, and that he was trying to get to St. Louis. The watchman urged him not to attempt to cross. He did not sue eeed in his efforts and the stranger, who was a middle-aged white man, continued to cross. The watchman walked a short dis anec to the engine room to call his assistant to prevent the man from crossing by force. He was only gone but a few moments, but when he came back the man was no where in sight, but on one of the stringers was found the small bundle that he carried, with one of his shoes It is supposed that the man missed his footing and fell fifty feet below into the river. A boat was secured and a search was made for the man but nothing has been seen of him since.

 Wants to Get Out of Debt.

BosToN, May 3-0ne hundred of the leading Baptist Churches in the United States have been asked by tie Board of Foreign Missions to@ make a special contribution of 5000 each in order that the debt that now bur dens the society may be.lifted before the opening of the May Anniversaries. \ scheme has also been hroached and will probably be launched at the forthcoming anniversaries looking to contribution of $l00 yearly from every Baptist Sunday-school in the
 Antry, towards the Foreign Mis- sion work. If this plan can be sue eessful carried out, it will relieve the Board of all further financial anxiety and prevent future deficits in the Treasury.

A vinsticatiOn.

In the attachment affidavit which we made to obtain attachment in the Bank of Pine Bluff against A. E. Thomas & Co which stated that they had or were about to dispose of their property with fraudulent in- tent, cheat or delay their creditors, such statements were not true, and when such affidavit was made, we knew that it was not true, but was advised by our attorneys that we had legal cause for attachment, and so signed said affidavit for the Bank of Pine Bluff. We did not in- tend to charge MT. A. B. Thomas with any moral wrong or fraud, and this is to show that we have the greatest confidence in his honor and integrity. His character and good name is well known in this commun- ity, and if in this affidavit we have done him any harm, or charged him with any dishonest act, we cheerfully withdraw the same.

LEATHER TRUSTS WORK.
Has Advanced Cost of Shoes Twenty Five
 Per Cent.

NEW YORK, May 3.-Rctail shoe dealers have been notified by iabbers and manufacturers that piices for fall goods will he about 9 per cent. higher than for the last two years. This means that $3 shoe will cost S3.7 and a f4, $5.
 The leather trust which controls the market in hides, is responsible for this advance The trust has de cided to raise prices for sole leather, and every man, woman and child who buys d pair of shoes will be forced to contribute to the trlst $ profits.
 The excuse is the advance ill hides. It is true that some kinds of hides have advanced 100 per cent. in~ niGe months, but for every cent in hides, leather has gone up two cents
 The trust practically controls the two greatest hide centers of South America-Buenos Ayers and Monte NIcUO--6UN ntdtl3 NNNiJ NNe'N AN ceives large shipments from these points, brought by its account,
 Many of the outside tanners have been compelled to close down their factories and others to curtail pro- duction because they are unable to obtain enough hides.
 fAth yXy the United States Leather Company began business in May, 1892, with $120, ,000, ,0O0 About so per cent of the tanneries in the country are Ill the trust now and with them are about i the same propotion of leather brokers and iobbers. The shoe men are apso- lutely dependent on the monopoly for their basis of supply.

REPRESENTATION.
A Communication From Rev. ". K. Pen
 rod on the Above Subject.

Dear Graphie
 However unpleasant it may be for me to entnr into a theological dis cussion, I nevertheless feel it my duty under the circumstances to say few words in regard to the peculiar and wonderful statement of Priest Lucey in Thursdays GRAPHIC.
 He said that Mir. Traynor knew that Catholics do not believe that bread is converhed into the body and wine into the blood of Christ.
 Few will see the catch here. Priest Lucey has shown himself shrewd in this statement. Traynor said that ransubstantiation is the doctrine of the papists. This doctrine is that the body, soul and divinity of Christ is in the bread and wine. Priest Lucey so believes and teaches. He does not teach body and bread and blood in wine, but body soul and divinity in each.
 Wehester defines Transubstantia- tion, l, A change another substance, ?, (Rom. Cath. Theal.) The doctrine held by the Roman Catholics, that bread and wine in the eucharist is converted into the body and blood of Christ.
 Our Ouradyersaricsarepeffectly aware that we firmly believe. as an article of faith that there is no bread and wine, but Christ alone, true God, as well as man, present in it." End of controversy. Melner page 222.
 "Therefore, full of certainty, let us revive the body and blood of Christ; for under the form of bread is given his body, and, the form of wine, his blood End of Controversy, page 229.
 "The truth is, dear Sir, after all the approaches of the Bishop of Dur ham, concerning our alleged sacrifice, in suppressing half sacrament, and the generalcomplaint of Protestants of our robbing the1aity of the cup of salvation, that the precious body and blood being equally aad entirely present, under each species, is equally and entirely given to the faithful, whichever they receive End of Controversy, page 236.
 John Melner, D. D., V. A, F. L. A., London, and the Catholic academy, Rome, is the author of End of Con- troversy' from which I have quoted the above paragraphs.
 The doctrine is here established. Priest Lucey dreads the exposure of this doctrine in this enlightened land, hence he denies man of straw made 10 order by himself, viz, body in bread, blood in wine. No, Mir. rraynor said what Priest Milner has here said. Does Priest Lucey believe the doctrine as taught by Priest Milner? Yes, and teaches it, too, or he would lose his place. ". k. PENRoD.

A Child Has Narrow Escape from Death

Hanna to wash his wounded qrm with. It was in tablets, and had to be dissolved in water before being used. Mrs Hanna mistook the tablets for calomel tablets, and gave the little child one of them. The child put the tabletin it's mouth, and from the agony it suffered its mother at once saw that something was wrong, and remedies were at once used, which saved the child's s life.
