Ex-PRlEsT sLATTERY.
Something of His Address Last Evening
Eloquent, Witty and Logical.

At Kotzschmar hall last evening, the
ex-priest, Slattery, addressed an audience
that filled every seat. He would be worth
listening to, regardless of his subject. He
is superb young man physically, being
over six feet in height. perfect in figure
and handsome and winning of face. He
is eloquent witty, intelligent, educated
and up date in every respect. He can
make you laugh or cry. His voice is clear
as bell, his manner as frank ana
pleasant as the sunshine.
Mr.. Slattery declared very frankly that
he was an Irishman, which was very
manifest, he said, from his brogue. He
said that his subject was: "Why Lief
the Catholic Church and What I Saw
Therein He admitted that it is very
serious thing to change ones religion. 1t
is only justifiable in view of three
reasons. First, if you are to learn more
about God second, if you are to learn
more about Gods word. and third, II you
have great liberty to practice that word.
That was exactly his case. The Catholic
book Of "moral theology" should be
called the book of immoral theology.
That so-called moral theology is SO OBJ
scene and so vile that no one who dared
to publish it in the English language
would escape from imprisonment. Instead
of instructing the young candidate for
the priesthood in theology and kindred
subjects, it instructs him in matrimony
and kindred subjects. If the student
passes an examination in this kind OF
theology he is admitted to the priesthood.
He is not examined in theology. He, a
celibate. must have good rank in matri-
mony.
We can only give1 few extracts FROM
Mr.. Slattery's address. He related his
own experiences in Ireland and this
country and made his hearers roar with
laughter. and held them quiet with in
terest and sympathy. He said that there
who send their children to the convent
schools. 1t is mistake to suppose that
the nuns can give superior education.
You can't get something from nothing.
He could truly say that he never saw a
nun who was we'll educated. How can
they teach if they have not been taught
After one of his efforts at
ridiculing religion that locks it's facts
away from the people inside a dead
language, he said that If any Catholics
were present, he wished to say to them
that he would be sorry to hurt their feel
ings as that was not his purpose, for, he
added: II was your master once, but I
am your friend now
Mr.. Slattery related with much
eloquence his terrible sorrow, when after
he had left the church his own mother
renowned him. She had always loved
him, but when he told her he had left the
church cold look came to her face and
she said "If you have done that, then
/ never want to look on your face again. !"
All then, he would have thanked God

Mess1s. Fisk & Golf, clothiers, are now
candidates for pubic favor. Their doors
were thrown open for the first time Satur-
day evening. April Is, 1898.
Their opening was not only unique but
a charming affair. A brilliant -pyrotechnIc
display and choice music by Baldwin Bos-
ton Cadet Band combined to render the
opening one of the most pleasing and con-
spicuous affairs ever recorded in Boston.
Ali who visited their store, listened to the
soul-stirring strains of lovely music, gazed
with amazenent at the gorgeous display Of
fireworks, and viewed their beautiful store
and stylish goods. were unanimous in their
expressions OF praise ana admiration.

unknown to the buying public. The senior
member, Mr.. G. D. B. Fisk, has for the past
Barnaby Compary's store on Washington

connected with that firm. His reputation
as a live. energetic honorable business man

they enjoyed their visit very much, ex-

The man who Walt Mason said wat
starved ont by the drouth and only
weighed 500 pounds WAS in Red Cloud
over Sunday. HIS proper name with
out the trimmings, is simply Jim Tucker.
He is a travelling salesman for Kopp
Dreibus a. Co., Of Omaha, and sells
more cigars and confectionery than my.
body. His real weight however is 1916
pounds, and it is but fair to say that his
surplus fat is equally distributed, and
he is a well proportloned man-iu fact a
handsome man-so the girls say. But
Mr.. Tucker is more than this. He is al.
ways pleasant, always courteous and al
ways having a good time. He sings we'll,
converses with everyone, and before he
leaves town always has a large number
ofDacquaintances who hope for his re-
turn. Mr.. Tucker has made many
friends here, not because Of his abnor.
