Argument for the Girl Whom Nature

The interesting discussion which is going

venient and becoming style of bicycle cos

weakness of the sex, or to put 1T more cor

woman found riding a bicycle, If BICYCLES

with dire punishment at the hands of the
elders, while short skirt would have pro-
voked as stern an outburst of anger as did
the display Of limbs before that redoubtable
old Kaickerbocker Governor of New Ans

since those days; and the display of those
members with which, according TO the poet
the devil baiteth his hook, no longer oc-
casions surprise, unless it happens they are
unshapely.
Hence the discussion of this problem has
taken exactly the shape which might have
been anticipated. IL will be observed that
all the girls married women, and widows
clined to favor the short skirt. which will

Swinburne. and which Is limited at even by
sanity George Herbert. while the latter are

There Is no good reason, indeed, why

SYMPATHY FOR CUBA.
Chicago Raises Her Voice for the Cause
of Freedom.

-E=
CHICAGO, Oct. Q AS much of the
population Of Chicago as could find en-
trance to the auditoriums of Central
Music hall and the Y. NJ. C. A. build
ings last night shouted itself hoarse
In appreciation Of a series of resolu-
tions in which the United States gov
eminent is asked to recognize the Gu
bans Is belligerents. Such genuine
enthusiasm has seldom been witnessed
IN this city, and on no occasion were
words spoken by men more full of
heart and soul than the speakers.
Mayor George B. Swift presided at
the main meeting in Central Music
hall, while Judge William A. Vincent
was chairman of the overflow meeting
in the Association building. The
seventy-fve vice presidents who occu-
pied seats on the platforms were
chosen from among the leading bust
ness men Of the city, and each one OF
then had previously expressed himself
as in full accord with the object of
the meetings. Before the speaking
began copies Of kilograms from q
number of gentlemen who could not
be present were read. The first of
these was from Governor John p. Alt
geld, and Its ringing words called
forth cheer after cheer. Other tele-
grams were from Congressman George
E.sss@Adams, Senator Wilkinson at
Florida and George r. Peck.
AL OF the speakers addressed both
meetings They were:N Rev. f.. w.
Gunsau4us. w. j. Hines, Rev. r. S.
Henson, John Mayo Palmer, Thomas
Bs Bryan, William E. Mason md E. B.
Sherman. When G~unzales De Que
sada, secretary OF the Cuban revolu-
fionary party Of the United States,
md @. A. ZayAs, another prominent
Cuban, stepped upon the. platform at
Central Music hall, the Enthusiasm of
the audience knew no bounds. and it
was some minutes before order was
restored. Rev. DIR. II. w. Thomas
read the resolutions, which were
adopted as by q mighty voice.

Father wagner Under Arrest.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct. 2.-Father
Dominick Wagner, the priest suspected
of having abducted Maude Steidel
from the home of her mother in this
city, was arrested by the police last
night on a telegram sent from Chica-
go by Alexander Podvant, uncle of the
girl. The telegram stated that Wag-
ner's brother in-law was under arrest
in Chicago and that there was an
abundance of evidence on which to
convict Wagner.
Later developments seem to indicate
that it was Father Wagner's intention
to resign from the Catholic priesthood,
go to Chicago and marry the girl and
then engage in some sort of business.
This morning the priest was formal
IL arraigned. He waved preliminary
examination and was bound over to
the grand jury, his bond being fixed
at 81, 500. which, it is thought, he can
raise. The grand jury is now in ses.
sion and the case will be taken up at
once.

DENVER, Col, Oct. 2.-One of the
most important meetings of railroad
employees ever held in the West will
occur here October 10, when over 200
delegates, representing 1000 mem
bcrs in Colorado and adjoining terri
tory, of five of the best.known labor
organizations in the country, will
assemble, and the Federation of Rail-
way Organizations will be perfected.
The outcome of the meeting is not
dreaded by railway magnates, as
every superintendent, manager and
receiver of every great Western sys-
tenn has Endorsed the meeting. The
organizations which will take part in
the conference are: Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, Order of Rail-
way Conductors, Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Firemen and Order of Rail-

COLUMBIA, Mo, Oct. 81. Turner
Tucker, Young student in the acaue-
my connected with the State u~niversi-
ty, applied for admission to the Sigma
Nm secret society Sunday night he
was admitted to the hall by thirty
students. Then he was bound hand
and foot and b~lindfolded and gagged.
Then he was beaten with stuffed clubs
for awhile and was next put into a
coffin for burial.
The coffin wa carried out and put
in a spring wagon that had been taken
from a livery stable and away the
funeral train marched. The gait was
fast and the road was rough. The
poor fellow in the coffin was given q
terrible jolting. Finally the athletic
grounds were reached and he was
buried. Then he was taken out and
stripped and thrown into a mud mole,
and then rolled in sand. Then he was
kicked, and then, induced by the
plausible story of the leader, to sing
and dance. The hour was close to
midnight and he sang won't You Be
Ny Sweetheart" and kept step as
well as he could.
Then the youth was hanged up by
the arms for awhile, and was next
taken to q haystack and given several
rapid slides. Then he was branded
with lighted cigarettes, ordered to
dress, and about 2 a. M, was brought
home. When he was searched by the
boys, they found a knife, some keys
and about fifteen cents. When his
things were returned he insisted that
he had $!.15, and put on such q bold
front that the boys passed the hat
and made up the dollar.
The whole affair, while laughable to
the boys, is condemned as b]arbarous,
and it is probable that the joke will be
the other way before the last is heard
of the matter. President Jesse is a
strict disciplinarian. His action is
%anxiously awaited.

stating hat Mr.. Harrison was not a
candidate for the presidency, and that

eral of these gentlemen, including q

ferred with a view to correcting any
misrepresentation that may have arisen.
AS u result, it was determined that
General Kitchener, who, with General
New, was in charge of the interests of
Mr.. Harrison at the last Republican
national convention, would be asked
to make a statement. General Mich
iner's statement as given to the press
is as follows:

quoted. The public certainly under
stands by this time that General Har-
rlsOn is in no sense a candidate for the
nomination. Not being in the field
there is nothing to withdraw from
That h e would not select either
Governor Mckinley or Mr.. Reed, if
his advice were asked, is simply the
opinion OF MI. New, if correctly
quoted, and it should not be taken as
expressing the sentiments Of the ,ex-

is an art that he never practiced in
the past, nor is he likely to engage in
it at this time.

GREAT A Z

First Of tho Catholic University Building,
Opened. Il.
WAsHINGToN Octo-McMahonshall
the central building and the most
beautiful one in what is to constitute
q group of buildings at the Catholic
university, was dedicated with impos.
ing ceremonies at 3 o'clock this after
noon. Papal Delegate Satolli made
the opening address and was followed
by Cardinal Gibbons, who oficiates
also in the formal dedication, accord
ing to the Catholic ritual. Beside the
foregoing, many of the archbishops,
bishops and clergy from various parts
of the country participated, including
Archbishop Corrigan of New York,
Archbishop Walsh of Boston, Arch
bishop Ryan of Philadelphia and Arch
| bishop Ireland of st. Paul.
The dedication Of Mcmahon hall in
augurates the work of the Catholic
university in lay branches, in addition
to the divinity branch which it has
conducted for the last six years. The
new schools are to embrace a depart
ment of philosophy, with Prof. E. A.
Pace as dean, and a department of So
cial science and law, with Professor
w. C. Robinson, late lecturer OF the
Yale law school, as dean.
The actual work of the schools will
begin in Mcmahon hall tomorrow,
when at 9 o'clock students will be en-
rolled by the registrar, and at / o'clock
the faculty will hold its first meeting
for organization and beginning work.
The structure dedicated has cost a
little short of $500, 900 and the entire
amount was given by Monseignor Nc.
Mahon. He is now IS years old and
has been ffty-three years a priest. He
inherited a small fortune and swelled
it to large proportions by judicious
real estate investments in New York.
On joining the faculty of the univer-
sity he gave his entire fortune to it,
reserving only such SMALL portion as is
requisite for his personal comfort. In
recognition of this m~unifcence the
pope conferred on him his present title
Of monsignor.
The building is the central one of
what is to be an extensive group. 1t
is a55 feet long by 90 to rs in depth,
four stories high throughout, and a
fifth central story. The entire build
ing is of hewn granite.of Roman style,
but approaching the classic. Its low
er story will be entirely devoted to
civil sciences and engineering, with
the exception of lounging and club
rooms for students. The first
floor contains the school Of So
cial science in the west wing,
mathematics and physics in the east
wing and administration offices in the
center. The second floor has the
school of letters in the west wing.
biology and botany in the east wing
and assembly room and senate cham
Der in the center. The third floor is
devoted to psychology and other
branches of philosophy in the west
wing. chemistry in the east wing, the
museum Of ethnology and professors

contains the clerical museum and

1he g. Joseph Disappearance Mystery
Solved 1t Last-The Priests brother
in-Iaw Held for Acknowledgment
Held In $1,000 hail.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Maud Steidel, Is
years old, who disappeared from her
home in st. Joseph, Mo-, Sunday,
September %, and Of whose abduction
Father Dominick Wagner of that city
was suspected, spent the night in the
Harrison Street police station, this
city. She was found at West Side
convent by officers from st. Joseph.
Albert Elandt of 1Ol4 Diversey
street, was arrested and locked up on
. charge of abduction. He is a broth
er-in-law of Father Wagner.
1t is rumored that Father Wagner
persuaded the girl, who is good look
Ing and large of her age, to leave st.
Joseph and come to Chicago. Elandt
went to st. Joseph and brought her to
Chicago and placed her in a Catholic
school on the West side. He said he
knew nothing about any abduction
and had only done what Father Wag-
ners had told him to.
The police have in their possession
a quantity of furniture which it is as
serted was shipped by Father Wagner,
and which seems to give an indication
that he expected to set up housekeep-
ing in Chicago.
An anonymous letter received by the
mother of the girl gave the police the
only clew to her whereabouts.
When Elandt was arraigned in court
to-day, he declared that he was inno-
cent of any intention to abduct the
girl. Father Wagner had asked him
to bring her here from st. Joseph and
he had done SO, also taking charge of
the furniture shipped here by the
priest. That vas all he knew about
the case, and he readily consented to
return to Missouri for trial.
While admitting that she was to
come to Chicago to live in rooms fitted
with the priests furniture the girl
has no hard words for him. She is
very pretty. She says she is going
to st. Joseph to-day or tomorrow with
her uncle. She declines to talk abont
the matter farther.
