PROTESTS AG1INsT ABUSES.
Il MenicGn archbishop and the Worship
of st. ErpeditO.


NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. A morn
ing paper has the following special from
the City of Mexico: The Archbishop of
Guadalajara has addressed circular letter
to the clergy under his charge, in which
he says: Having heard that the worship
which the people give to st. Expedite has
passed beyond the limit of what is just and
reasonable. and that in churches where it
is exposed to the gaze of the faithful his
image is continually surrounded by groups
OF people who seemingly attribute to it
divine powers, demanding OF it innumer-
able things, | hereby raise my voice
against these abuses and against the exag-
gerated devotion paid to this saint.
Therefore, in order to eradicate effect
ually this growing evil, l prohibit placing
this saint in churches until such time as
the worship paid to that saint is reduced
to proper limits"
The Archbishop complains that the
manufacture and sale of the image of St.
Expedite have grown to commercial pro-
portions. Devout Catholics have been
invoking for few years the aid of this
st. Expedite, comparatively new saint,
with the reputation OF expediting things.
This saint is especially invoked in des-
perate cases, where there appears to be
prospect of success. In a brief time this
saint has become the most popular of all
the saints.

LIFE CHEAP, INDEED.
Cutting Remarks at the Funeral af Miss
FJdgIer's Victim.

Cutting Remar at the Funeral af Miss
FJdgIer'S Yictins.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 4.-Twenty-
five hundred persons to-day attended the
funeral services of Ernest Green, the little
colored boy shot by Miss Elizabeth Flag
Ter last Friday. There were many white
persons in the vast audience that filled
Shiloh Baptist Church and crowded the
pavement outside the edifice. Contrary to
expectations, there was absolutely no ex-
element and the remarks of the Off
ciating clergyman were decorously mod
crate. Rev. J. A. Taylor, pastor of
the church, was assisted by Rev. Walter
Brooks.
Rev. Mr.. Taylor dwelt chiefly on the
idea that public sentiment was rather with
Miss Flagler than the parents of the dead
boy, and he hoped that the time would
soon come when color or social status
would have no influence in determining
punishment for the taking of human life.
Rev. Mr.. Brooks declared that life was
cheap, indeed, when a jury could End a
verdict fixing the price of boys life at
the value of a pear, and pears only Is
cents basket.

Economy on the Grand Trunh.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. A morn
ing paper says: Sir Charles Rivers Will
son, the new president of the Grand Trunk
Railway, will arrive in this city from Eng
land on August Is. He has written that
he will go direct to the company's head

All sorts of changes are in progress for
the Grand Trunk. Salaries will be cut

Efforts will be made to establish traffic
alliances with other railroads, and the
formation of Canadian board is also to
be quickly accomplished.

Great Difficulty in Forming Satisfac-
tory association.
CHICAGO. ILL, Aug. 4.-On Wednesday
next there will be meeting of lines inter
ested in the territory between Chicago and
the Missouri River for the purpose of form
ing if possible an association to maintain
rates. Originally the plau was to have a
big association covering all trans-Missouri
lines, transcontinental and Western roads.
This was narrowed down to leave out the
Western lines, when it was found the
association could not even then be formed
owing to the differences which existed be-
tween the parties at interest, as the asso.
citation was projected to include lines be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri River and
also west of the Missouri. Owing to the
coyness of the Denver and Rio Grande and
the Rio Grande Western it has been de-
cided not to include lines west of the Mis-
souri, in the conference. as an association
which did not cover Utah Territory would
be of little value for the uses for which it
was intended.

"SOUND MONEY" MEN RULE.
They VIII Run the IowG Convention as
Then Please.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 4-The last
Iowa counties held their conventions to-
day to name delegates to the Democratic
convention Wednesday next. A majority
of counties send uninstructed delegations
favorable to sound money and the admin
istration. Generally uninstructed dele
gates are for sound money. The silver
men have made the issue in almost all
places and where they could control have
instructed for free silver resolutions by
the State convention. The policy of the
sound money men on the other hand has
been to avoid instructions and follow a
conciliatory policy. The general belief
is that the convention will be easily
controlled by sound money men, but the
silver people will make fight and bring
test on the adoption of the resolutions.
The sound money people will have proba-
bly, 60 per cent of the delegates and, per-
haps, considerably more.

notwithstanding his well fortified asser-
tons that the growth of the plant is profit
able and that it has been easily raised in
California and also in the District of Col

plan has the Endorsement of all the mem

GRAPELAND DISTRICT TROUBLE.
One of the Bondhotders Takes q Precam-
ton to Protect Himself.


ton to Protect Himself.
SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Aug. A.
John w. Downs. a local money-lender,
has taken a twist around the Grapeland
Irrigation District which was a complete
surprise Downs owns $500 worth of
bonds issued by the Grapeland District,
which he proposes to protect.
Last week, after consulting his lawyers,
he quietly stole into the San Bernardino
Mountains and filed on the irrigation
water supply. The district has bored a
long tunnel to get the underfow of Lytle
Creek and about 500 inches of water have
been thus developed.
This tunnel and the water source are on
Government land in the San Bernardino
Mountain reservation. Under the law the
person who files the notice must use the
water within sixty days, and Downs has
made preparations to conduct this water
on to the property of the Semi-Trcpic Land
and Water Company.
The decision OF Judge Ross is that the
districts never had a legal existence, and
following this out Downs and his advisers
claim that all appropriations made by the
district are void.
That is to say that the situation is the
same as if the water from the Grapeland
tunnel had never been taken by any per-
son or company, and that Downs had
made the original filing.
His action in thus stepping in and filing
his notice in advance of any other, he
maintains, will give him the prior right to
the water, and if the decision is upheld in
higher court he will be assured of
something to guarantee the, value of the
bonds of the company which he now
holds

FRESNO IRRIGATION SUIT,
Brought by John Landers to
Dissolve the Sunset
District.
Against Director Milton
McWhorter.

FRESNO. CAL, Aug bitter strug-
gle is expected over the suit begun here to
dissolve the Sunset Irrigation District.
John Landers, upon whose complaint
the suit is brought, makes charges of the
most serious kind against Milton McWhor-
ter, one of the directors of the district.
McWhorter was one of the men most
active in securing the organization of the
district and if the allegations of the COM
plant are sustained he will be proven
guilty of gross fraud and deception.
According to the complainant, McWhor-
ter was pecuniarily interested in securing
an election as director in the proposed
district and IN organizing the district.
To accomplish his purpose, Landers al
leges, McWhorter bought tract of twenty
acres inside the limits of the proposed dis
trict and subdvided it into twenty lots,
which he then decided to twenty-five differ
ent people, The deeds were never deIiv-
cred to the grantees and none of them
claimed the lots.
The complaint says that in pursuance of
his fraudulent purpose and with the in
tention of deceiving the Board of Super
visors and inducing them to declare the
territory district, McWho had all the
persons to whom he had granted land
fraudulently sign the petition for the form
alton of the district and represent that
they were freeholders in the district
If the facts are as stated, McWhorter
planned and carried through a colonial
ton scheme of considerable magnitude.
The twenty-five men whom he had sign
his petition, many of whom are widely
known and respected, are also charged
with fraud.
&c nf ba VIII kai;ara
that the board of directors of the district
have been making money from the tax
payers.
1t is also alleged in the complaint that
there was included in the district 81, 220
acres of land belonging 10 the United
States and, therefore, not to be included in
any irrigation district.
The district has already voted bonds to
the amount of 100000 and over $3O00G0
worth have been sold. The contractors
have already expended about $50, 900 and
they will not lose it without struggle.
