TheOsOphist Wright Says Robert Has q
Right to DisbeIieve.
NEW YORK, Dec. Claude Falls
Wright, secretary to the late Nine.
Blavatsky, delivered lecture on "Oc-
cult Phenomena" at Chickering hall
yesterday. During the course of his
lecture Mr.. Wright created a sensa-
ton by referring to the prayers of
large body of Christian Endeaverors in
Cleveland for the conversion of Col.
Ingerson
'!They are doing a great wrong"
said he, land are practicing sorcery
or black magic. You have no right to
attempt to change mans life be-
cause you think 1t wrong and be-
cause 1t differs from your own. If In
gerson wants to have a certain re-
ligion, why should not he? The
Christian Endeavorers are not dong
the fair thing. I don't think they
will have much success They are not
competent to have great influence, as
their minds are not right. Ingersoll
is a good man, and this effort is only
display of egotism.'

The sheriff Disg listed.

SEDALIA, Mo-, Dec 2.-Sheriff Laird
Of Benton county was here yesterday
IN his way to Warsaw. returning from
his second visit to Kansas to secure
Fred Chisholm, who abducted Rosa
Thouvenal. a white girl, from her
home. Sheriff Laird says politics had
much to do with Governor Morrills re-
fusal to honor Governor Stones requi-
sition. While he praises the Lawrence
authorities for their assistance, he is
very much disguised with the treat
ment he received at the hands of the
Kansas state officials. The father of
Rosa Thouvenal left for Lawrence to
persuade the girl to leave her husband
and return home, but Sheriff Laird
says the girl is SO infatuated with
Chisholm that 1houvenaPs visit will

called ''The Morning Star of Catholic
Song She has published a number of
volumes Of verse. among them "Out of
Sweet Solitude Children of the
Golden Sheaf' and "Domus DEL and
her work plainly demonstrates that she
possesses the true poetic instinct. She
was born in Philadelphia Sept. 6, 1848,
and was the daughter of Dr.. Philip
Carroll Donnelly.
Her first poetical work was hymn to
the Blessed Virgin, which was publish
ed when she was only 9 years Of age.
When her talents were more mature, she
wrote poems and stories for the secular
press, and her productions also appeared
frequently in Catholic religious publica-
tions. In 1885 the Augustinian Fathers,
in recognition of her religious poetry,
secured for her from Rome a golden rel
iquary, ornamented with filigree work
and containing relics of the four illus
trious members of their order-St.
Nicholas Tolentine, St. Thomas of Villa
Nova, st. Glare of Montefalco and
the Blessed Rita of Cascia. The fol-
lowing year her Jubilee Hymn in
his honor led Pope Leo XIII to send
AAOA LIS dcOotOAAC OC1lCOACtAOA anu " dC-
cept a copy of her book, 1.-THE Birthday
Bouquet. - Her Jubilee Hymn" was
translated into Italian and German, and
special music was written for it. In all
Miss Donnelly has published over
dozen volumes of poetry and prose, and
her poems have often been classed in
merit with those Of Adelaide Proctor
The Atlanta exposition is not the first
important event which Miss Donnelly
has been asked to commemorate in
verse; When the centennial of the
adoption Of the constitution of the
United States was celebrated in Phila-
delphia in 1887. she was invited to read
an ode before the American Catholic
Historical society Of Philadelphia and
did SO. In 1892 she also wrote the Co
lumbar ode for Philadelphia's com
memoration of the quadricentennial Of
the discovery of America.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Representa-
tive Lawrence McGann of Chicago, who
held seat in the Fifty-second and
Fifty-third congresses, and who was
the chairman of the committee on

quishment of the seat to which he
holds the certificate. AS soon as he IS
able to secure recognition from the

statement to the house to the effect
that he thinks his Republican oppo-
nent, Hugh r. Belknap, is entitled to
the seat, end that he (McGann) valves
all claims thereto
MIR. Belknsp, who will succeed Mr..
Mccain, is son of Hon. w. w. Bel

property willed her. Mrs. Gibson was
born in Liverpool 20 years ago, and her
parents, who were Irish, left her prac-
tically nothing except a rich, musical
Irish brogue. She was one of IL chill
dren, but all are dead except herself. At
the age of 10 she was married, and five
years later her husband died, leaving
her with three small children and very
little money.
Shortly after the death of her hus-
band Mrs. Gibson's uncle, wealthy
British barrister named Charles Russell,
invited her to come to England. Two of
her children had died, and with the
third, bright little girl, she crossed
the ocean. Barrister Russell had made
a fortune and was passing the declin-
ing years of his life on his lovely estate
in Essex. He became SO attached to the
little girl that he willed her his entire
fortune. Mrs. Gibson remained with
him but a short time, preferring to
support her child by her own efforts
rather than to live at her uncle's ex-
pense. She returned to America and
became trained nurse.
About this time the little girl died,
and Mr.. Russell was heartbroken over
the occurrence. He declined steadily in
health, and died of paralysis Oct. 90,
leaving his entire fortune to Mrs. Glib
son. His estate in Essex embraced "a
acres of lawn ard tree shaded land, and
is one OF the most valuable holdings in
the neighborhood.
The first resolve Mrs. Gibson made
upon hearing of her good fortune waD
to nut All elevator in the College OF
Physicians and Surgeons, Chicago, SO
that in the future the nurses would not
wear themselves out climbing the stairs.
She has also selected site for a surgical
hospital of her own in Chicago, where
the poor who shrink from going to the
county hospital may be treated.

Miner steals Rich Ore

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, Dec. Peter
Lind, miner employed on the night
shift in the Doctor mine, was arrested
as he came from work and in his
pockets were found nine pounds of ore,
worth at least $40 pound. A search
of his cabin revealed over a hundred
pounds of ore, the value of which
will run into the thousands of dollars.
The owners OF the Doctor nine believe
they have lost as much as $25, 900
through stealing in the past few
weeks. Other arrests are likely to be

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 2.-The splendid
career of Cripple Creek may be re-
peated, and possibly ecipsed, by
West Creek, which is within fifty
miles of Denver, and almost within
sight of the dome of the capitol. The
miners claim the mineral is richer
than that at Cripple Creek on the sur
face. 1t is lodged in clearly defined
veins, and can be easily traced. Two
towns, Tyler and Pemberton, have
already been established, and there
are nearly 1000 people in the camp.
