MGR. O'CONNELL RESIGNS
There Is Considerable Speculation as TO the
Preiate's Future


NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Herald
today says: The resignation OF Right
Rev. Mgr. Dennis O'Connell from his
Rome has started considerable speculation
as to the future of the American prelate
and about his successor in the Iesigneo
position.
Mgr. O'Connell has been in poor health
for some time and his resignation has
been partly assigned TO this fact. His
uncle, Mgr. Joseph P. O'Connell. pastor
of the Church of St. Mary. Star of the
Sea, Brooklyn, has returned from brief
European trip on the Normandie.
Mgr. O'Connell, who is q son of the late
Judge Michael O'Conuell OF Colum bla,
Sc, is protoge Of the archbishop Of
Baltimore. He pursued his theological
studies in the American college in Rome,
where he was ordained a priest in 1877.
After brief tour in the United States he
returned to Rome. For the last ter years
he has been rector OF the school for Amer.
jean priests in the city. In addition ne
has been engaged in various diplomatic
tasks for the American hierarchy and was
sort OF official channel of communlca-
tion with the vatican.
One of The reasons given for his resig-
nation Is that he is to be made an auxil-
iary bishop to help Cardinal Gibbons in
the see of Baltimore.
Mgr. O'Connvll gave Cardinal Gibbons
banquet in the, American college at
Rome ON Sunday, June 23d. Among the
guests were Cardinals Cam berti, Mazzella
and Vanutelli. the bishops of Brooklyn,
Hartford and Detroit. with their secre-
taries aAd number of other American
priests.
The American college was established
in Rome by the bishops of the United
States under the leadership OF Arch bishop
Hughes in 1859. 1t was formally opened
on Decem ber 7th of that year in former
Dominican convent. The money to buy
the property, $25. 900. came from contrib
utions by the United States dioceses
The Right Rev. DR.. McClosky, now
bishop Of Louisville, KY, was the first
rector. Mgr. Chatard. a Baltimorean,
now bishop of Vincennes. Ind. was the
second rector; Mgr. Louis M. Hostelot, a
New Yorker, who died in Office, was the
third. Mgr. O'Connell succeeded him.
The name of Mgr. John M. Farley,
vicar-general. pastor of st. Gabriels
church. this city. has been mentioned for
the vacant Iectorship. The nomination
of the candidate will be made by the arch
bishops of Baltimore, Boston, Philadel-
phia and New York.
The Rev. Thomas J. Kennedy and Rev.
DR.. Dennis J. Dougherty OF Philadelphia,
who will sail for Europe next Saturday,
are mentioned as probable candidates.

Story of a Clever Dog

Miss Scottie, one of the many excellent
entertainers at the Orpheum this week,
is a Scotch collie 2% years old. Mr.. Lewis
Scottie's owner, says she was never like
ether dogs and rather Stunned others of
her kind. She formed strong attach
ment to child of years, ana through
this her marvellous faculties were discov-
cred. The child was taught Nv a kinder
garten system, and in order to accomp p.ish
any task in spelling or arithmetic had to
pick out cards corresponding to the num-
ber of letters.
Scottie was invariably present at these
lessons, and frequently when the boy was
more than usually inattentive the COVER
ness would say: Why, Harry, Scottie
would do this better than you." This ev-
identity weighed on the boys mind, for
it was discovered that the youngster had
actually put Scottie to the test with most
remarkable success.
Scottie's education was taken seriously
in hand and in addition to calculation
and spelling she rapidly acquired remark
able knowledge of card playing. She
plays single handed nap, dominoes, and
may shortly be expected to take hand
at whist. She also identities any mum ber
of figures, tells the time, distinguishes
colors and selects cards named by any of
the audience.

WILL NOT REFUND
Because Bonds Arc Past Due and Bear No
Interest

SACRAMENTO. July 1.-THE board
OF city trustees met this afternoon for the
purpose Of taking action with regard to
funding the Guys debt, amounting to
$640. 900. Trustees Devihe, Kent and
Wachhorst, who several weeks ago were
earnest advocates of refunding, announced
that after having interviewed a large
number of taxpayers they had come to
he conclusion that it would be better not
20 refund, as $4OO 600 of the old bonds are
past due and not bearing any interest.
Mayor Steinman said he was confident
that in July, 1899, the city would be COM
pletely out of debt, and it was better to
wait three years than to pay interest for
forty years on bonds which do not now
draw any interest. He said also that the
bondholders. if the refunding proposition
was defeated. would uffer the bonds to the
com missioners at from IS to SO cents on
the dollar.
The matter will be further considered
