TO UNITE CATHOLIC SOCIETIES.
Movement for the Consolidation of AL
of General Character.

VI a. character.
Omaha, Neb., April 30.-One hundred
prominent citizens representing the re-
ception committee assigned to meet the
visiting members of the National Coun-
Gil Catholic knights of America, who
meet here May IA, held session yester-
day and completed preliminaries It
seems probable the National Council
will take the initiative in a movement
the ultimate object of which is the
consolidation of the various Catholic or
Plantations that are general in charac-
ter and benevolent in purpose. There
are dozen such general organizations,
with an aggregate membership exceed
ing 100000. While considerable opposi-
ton has been developed and various
objections raised it is evident the move
ment is receiving the thoughtful consid-
GRAFTON of matured minds in the two or
CARNATIONS Immediately concerned, as
well as among the members Of other So
cieties. Several branches of the Cath
Ollie knights have Endorsed the sugges-
ton and recommended it to the consid-
GRAFTON of the National Council.

WARSHIPS ON GUARD.
Three Vessels Ordered to Proceed to
Ports in Nicaragua.


Washington, May 1.-Some sudden
and unexpected orders issued to United
States naval vessels late yesterday
caused sensation for a time until the
import of the order was explained. The
Alert, which has been stationed for
month or more at Panama watching
theprogress of the revolutionary move
ment in Colombia, was ordered to pro-
coed at once to San Juan del Sur, the
nearest cable port to Corinto, Near
aqua. The Raleigh, now on her way
from Kingston, Jamaica, to Key West
and expected to arrive at the latter
place any moment, will find awaiting
her orders to go at once to Greytown,
the eastern terminus of theproposed
Nicaragua canal The Montgomery,
now at Mobile, will follow the Atlanta
May with the Nicaraguan canal COM
mission aboG.d. The Monterey will also
be there. She is not expected to touch
at Corinto, and as she is now beyond
the reach of orders by wire she will
probably be allowed to relieve the Alert
at Panama, whence she can be ordered
back to Nicaragua if trouble arises in
the future.
Secretary Herbert says the move
ments of the ships have absolutely
nothing to do with the present occu-
patton of Corinto by the British, that
being a matter to be settled between
the Nicaraguans and the British. The
real purpose of the orders was to guard
Americaninterests in Nicaragua against
the consequences of a possible revolu-
ton which may result from the dis
turbed condition of the country.

Washington, April 27-The secretary
of agriculture will In about ten days

DONS HUMBLE CARB.
Schweinfurth Summoned Before tho
Grand Jury at Rockford.

Grand Jury at Rockford.
Rockford ILL.,, April 26-The time of
the grand jury was occupied yesterday
in investigating charges against
Schweinfurth. The bogus Messiah did
not come to town in his luxurious car
riage drawn by a prancing team, but
appeared in an old wagon drawn by
dilapidated gray horse A common
looking sack coat replaced the immacu-
late cutaway, and common, substantial
boots superseded the habitual patent
feathers. William II. Hill, the Chicago
attorney who represented George w.
Coudrey's case and secured judgment
Of $4,000 for him against Sshweinfurth,
came out from Chicago bringing with
him DR.. A. M. Smith and George w.
Ostrander, two important witnesses,
who had story Of the life at the We'll
don Farm. Both have lived at the
place. DR.. Smith was the family ply
stefan for a long time. Ostrander,
through Attorney Hill, secured 81, 600 in
cash out of Schweinfurth a year or SO
ago in settlement of a suit to recover
property-more than he asked for. Both
testified in the Godfrey case, and it is
believed their evidence alone before the
grand Jury will be so damaging it can
not fail to find an Indictment

Warming Concerning Condition of Epinal
Reservoir Had Been Given.

Warning Concerning Condition of Epinal
Reservoir Had Been Given.
Paris, April 30.-The Epinal reservoir,
the bursting of which caused the de-
struction of over $10,000,000 worth or
property and the loss of more than loo
lives, had a superficial area of 3,0OO,oVo
square feet. In 1884 large fissure in the
main dam developed. This was hlled
with cement and oak beams.
In 1885 the feed canal burst above
Bouzey and carried away length OF
sixty feet. Several houses were de-
stroyed on this occasion, but no lives
were lost. Some time before this an in
spector of roads and bridges announced
that the condition of the dam was dam
gerous and notified the people OF Bou-
zey to watch for a possible disaster.
In 1892 there was a second accident 10
the wall near Epinal. During two years
the wall of the dam, which should have
been straight has shown bulge to the
extent of about three feet. The cher
engineer of roads and bridges who dl-
rected the building of the dam, had
great difficulty with his colleagues In
order to carry out his plan of straight
dam instead of a curved one.
This shape of the dam is now given
as the cause of the accident, but there
is a possibility that the disaster was
caused by the illness for fifteen days OF
the inspector who was charged with the
supervision of the dam.

If the new school building is built ac-
cording to the plans Of Mr.. Packard it
will be modern in all details except
that, we regret to learn, the Trustees,
owing to the lack of proper sewerage
facilities, cannot maze proper toilet ar
engagements in the basement, and will
be obliged to use out-buildings similar

An entertainment was given at the
Village Hall last Friday evening which
drew a large and appreciative audience
The programme consisted of three
numbers, violin solo by Miss Pauline
Blake'y, recitation by Miss Edith
Bruce Jones, and then the lecture by
Mrs. sara A Hubbard of Chicago.
Both young ladies showed considera-
ole talent and were both encored, but
the main interest of the aud fence was
centered on Mrs. Hubbard, whose lee
ture, having as it subject, "The Lowell.
est Thing in this World of Ours" was
exceedingly fine. "The loveliest thing
in this world of ours" turned out to be
"birds," and Mrs. Hubbard sho we'd
herself very much at home on the sub
ject. She began her lecture by saving
that the loveliest thing in the world to
her was beautiful child, or woman
noble in all her actions, but that the
poet had said that the loveliest thing in
the world was birds. She stated that
Science had determined that the first
species of bird was descended origi-
nallv from the reptile, showing in con-
nectlon with this statement picture of

preston on rock dug from the earth
This bird had two rows of teeth, and
other peculiarities Among other
things the marvellous power of vision,
and the acuteness of hearing were men,
toned, also the fact that birds return
to the same place every year. AS
proof of this Mrs. Hubbard stated that
a white robin, very rare bird. was
seen seven successive seasons i'm New
York, with flock of ordinary robins,
and that one-legged black bird was
seen for the same number of wears,
with a flock of black
birds in our own town. She gave
some interesting statements about the
power of endurance, and swiftness of
wing of birds. She had some hum.
ming birds nests and eggs which were
shown to the audience, and concluded |
her lecture with an appeal to the ladies |
not to wear birds and birds wings on
heir hats, afterwards repeating the |
