ARE EXPOSING AN EXPOSE
Mother Superior Of st. Cecilia's
Received a fuzzling Letter.
WHAT INVESTIGATION SHOWED
Annie Bcllman. Recently Released from
tho House of the Good She cphcrd. Lee.
turing rs an Escaped Prisoner
from q Scranton Convent.

The mother superior OF st. Cecilia's
convent, on Wyoming avenue, was
greatly surprised and puzzled on the
receipt of a letter a few days ago bear
Ing information that girl lecturer was
going through the lower end OF Luzerne
county claiming that she had been held
u prisoner against her will in a Scran-
ton convent ana that after being half
starved and shamefully treated for sew
eral months was rescued by the OIL
cials of the court.
The letter was written by Philip
ONeil. the wellknown Catholic writer
OF Wilkes Barre, and his purpose was
10 ma out the true facts of the case
" there was any truth at all in 1t, so
that he might refute the multiplying
statements of the lecturer The mother
superior of st. Cecllia's could throw no
light on the subject and would have
paid no heed to the preposterous idea
had 1t not occurred to her that 1t would
be proper to have an investigation
made ITO satisfy the Wilkes-Barre CORE
spondent that there was no possibility
or such practice existing as inferred
from the statements of the lecturer.
Lecturer Was Annie Bcilman.
The investigation revealed th. fact
that the lecturer was none other than
annie Beliman. who was released from
the Home of the Good Shepherd Sept. II
on writ or habeaS corpus and given
over to the guardianship of her uncle,
VINO lives in Hunlock's Creek, Iuzerne
county. The girl was sent to the Home
OF the Good Shepherd on July l3, at the
instance of her mother, who is the pro-
prietress of No. IS Lackawanna ave-
nue.. She stated to Mrs. Duggan, who
was instrumental in securing the girls
daughter was becoming wayward and
had been an inmate of house in Will
iamsport and another in RAYMOND
court.
When the girl. who is but II years of
age. was admitted to the home her
mother called ito visit her but the sis
ters would not allow her to see the
siri, as her appearance betokened that
she was not desirable associate for
even her own daughter, and, further.
the girl had frequently stated that her
mother was to blame for her fall and
she dld not want to have anything to
do with her.
Grew Tired OF COnfinc mcut.
However. after few months of the
secluded life at the home. the girl tired
of the continent and pined for her ola
free and easy life. She sent word to
her mother that she was being starved
anu abused and begged her to take
ner out. The mother interested her
prother, who hives in Hunlock's Creek
ana other relatives. and they succeeded
IN inducing Judge Archibald to take the
girl out of the home:
She went 70 Hunlock's Creek and is
now engaged in telling audiences of
credulous people that she was a prison
er IN a convent instead of the truth
which Is that she was received out of
charity into reformatory.

THE RISING GENERATION,
Billy Barry COnvuIses a Big Audience at
the Academy.

A packed house greeted William
Barry and his 'Rising Generation" at
the Academy Saturday night. and 1t is
safe to say that a house never laughed
more than did this same house.
Barry's characterization of a witty
Ir!sEman is something new and re-
fresLtng. and his wit is of such q bright
and bouTteous nature that no horse
play Is required to carry him through.
He Is, undoubtedly. the best Irish COM
elian on the Stage. He has an excellent
company. including a band of boys and
girls, who sing. dance and act in a
very pleasing way.

HUMANE SOCIETY.
Report of Agent e. J. Sheldon as
to Work Done For First
Quarter.
Much Accomplished in the Way Of
Securing Better Treatment For
Dumb Animals.

Report of E. j. Sheldon, agent of
the Mankato Humane society for the
month of January.
The good work done in the interest
of the defenseless in the cold weather
may be somewhat imagined by the
brief summary of Mr.. SheldOn's report
for the last month, as follows:
The number of instances in which
he has replaced blankets, requested
owners to blanket their horses, and
the kindly attention to horses needing
relief are legion. In several instances
he has released horses that were cast
or In fair way to serious trouble of
one kind and another, examined shoes
on draft horses, stopped the use of
horses disabled, and in various ways
has afforded the suffering animals
help.
During the month he covered
ninety-two teams with warning tags,
placed twelve badly neglected teams
in livery barns started ten men with
their teams for home at night as they
were lettering about the saloons, to
the abuse of the neglected animals; in
no less than seven instances looking
after neglected animals in bad barns
and afforded them feed and comfort;
and the fact of these special acts of
mercy has caused many an otherwise
thoughtless man to take better care of
his team and look more carefully after
other animals in his charge.
Besides these numerous acts of
mercy to the dumb animals, Mr.. Shell
don has sought out fourteen poor
families, administered to them him
self and made personal solicitations in
their behalf or reported them to the
various relief societies of the city or
to the county commissioner who at
once looked after their wants, provid-
ing food and clothing, the attendance
of physician, school books to the
destitute children, etc. In one case
he was sent for to stop fight between
two ruffians, in another to stop man
from beating his team, in another to
interfere in a case of wife-beating, land
so on. The various ways in which
this society, through it's efficient
agent, has benefited the suffering
among both men and animals cannot
be truly estimated.
1t is hoped that the special COM
mittee, for the solicitation Of in
creased membership, of which Mr..
Sheldon is member, will meet with
marked success, and that the society
will be sustained by an appreciative
cOmmunitV

CITY CHARTER BILLS.

City Engineer Haynes wrote tC
Senator Barr the other day, asking
whether any charter bill that would
affect Mankato was likely to become
law this winter, and has received the
following reply;
ST. PAUL, MINI, March 1, 1895.
IL. B. Haynes:
DEAR SIR:-Yours of February 9th
received. The charter bills are all
still in the hands of the committee
on municipal corporations, and |
hardly know whether they will pass
or not. l am trying to get S. f. 1S9,
copy of which | enclose, pushed
along, for l don't believe our people
will be satisfied with the general
charter bills by the time the commit
tees and the legislature are through
with them, if they pass at all.
Mrs. Barr does not yet sit up, but
she improves steadily, and only needs
now to be patient and careful.
