Geese. Pigs and Plu,ns.

\ gentleman living in eastern Geor-
gia owned a pair of geese and some
half-grown pigs, both of which resorted
to Il small plum thicket ON the hillside
to pick up the fallen fruit.
A small branch of one of the tr.. IS
was broken and bent down to the
ground, and the geese had somehow
discovered that by catching the end of
the branch in their bills and shaking
the tree by means of it, they could
bring down the plums.
The pigs, seeing what was going ON,
soon found it for their interest to follow
the geese to the plum thicket.
The geese would shake the tree, and
the sound Of grateful shower of fruit
would be heard; but before they could
eat the plums the pigs would have
greedily gathered up most Of them.
Greatly exasperated, and with good
reason, one Of the geese would seize a
pig by the ear, while the other marched
on the other side of him, screaming
and scolding. In this way, beating poor
piggy with their wings at every step,
they would escort him to the top of tae
hill and there let him go.
Then they would return to shake the
tree again, with a similar result. This
scene, says Youths Companion cor
respondent, have witnessed daily
during the plum season.

Mr. Gilmer opposed this. He said
when they met to vote DR.. York would
probably be here and there was no use
carrying over all this unfinished bust
ness.
Mr.. Bailey agreed with Mr.. Kluttz
that the matter ought to be postponed.
Mr.. Craig thought that as a matter of
strict law Mr.. Gilmer was right, but he
saw no harm to come from a postpone
ment.
The motion to postpone action on all
unfinished business till the January
meeting prevailed and the Electoral Col
lege adjourned to meet again at noon
on the second Monday in January
just after adjournment and before the
Electors left the hall their certificates Of
election, signed by the Governor, were
handed them. Three copies Of these Ger
tificates were also transmitted by regis
tered mail to the Secretary Of State.
A telegram was received by Mr.. Kluttz
during the day from Mr.. w w. Barber,
stating that DR. York was sick and con-
fined to his bed and that he would be
here at the January meeting. This put
an end to the speculation Of the Doctor S
colleagues as to how far he and "Gin'L
Jackson" had gotten and how they were
faring in the binding snOw-storm.

DEATH OF FATHER GROSS.
Many Years Vicar-General of Catholic
Church in North Carolina.

News was received here yesterday of
the death of Very Rev. M. :. Gross, who
for many years was Vicar-General and
practically controlled the government of
the Catholic church in North Carolina.
For the last few years Father Gross was
for the most part an invalid from dropsy.
Having been obliged by his weakly con-
dition to give up his work mere, he went
to his brother. Archbishop Gross, of
Oregon, with whom he lived for some
time. partially regaining his health and
finally settling down in St Pauls Parish,
Washington, d. c., where his death took
place December 1, at 1910 p. m. Father
Gross was born in Baltimore in St.
Yincents Parish, made his course of
studies for the priesthood during ten
years at st. Charles College, Ellicott
City. Md, and St Mary's Seminary,
Baltimore from which latter place he
was ordained priest In 1867 when
Cardinal Gibbons was made Bishop in
North Carolina, Archbishop Spalding, of
Baltimore, offered him the choice of any
of his clergy who would go with him
and labor in North Carolina, and that
afterwards eminent prelate chose Father
Gross For over twenty years, until ut
terly disabled, Father Gross toiled and
sacrificed himself in every species of
missionary work throughout this State,
In 1870, at the solicitation of Cardinal
Gibbons, Bishop Keane and others, Rome
appointed him Bishop, with jurisdiction
over the Catholics in North Carolina.
The papal bulls had arrived and every
thing was well under way for his conse-
Grafton as Bishop in this State, when
Father Gross, through motives of hu-
mility, sent back to Rome the letters of
appointment and refused to be Bishop.
He continued, however, his labors as be-
fore. He was pastor at Wilmington for
about fifteen years and in Chalotte for
about FIVE, and at times labored in this
city. He was singuIarly beloved and
venerated not only by members Of the
Catholic church, but by all who knew
him. BY Catholics he was esteemed as
undoubtedly one of the most mortified
and sanity characters that their church
in North Carolina has ever possessed
Solemn requiem masses for the repose
of his soul viii be offered up here and
at different points throughout the State.

LECTURE BY BISHOP HAID.
viii Explain Fundamental Doctrines of
the Catholic Church

Arrangements have been perfected
whereby Bishop Haid will deliver, in
Metropolitan Opera House, a series OF
lectures. beginning Sunday next and con-
tinuing the week following. THE object
Of these lectures" as stated by a member
of the Catholic church, will be to eX-
plain fundamental notions concerning
Catholic christianity. Catholics com
plain that their faith, practices and his
tory are but little understood and very
much misrepsented and that as a con
sequence great prejudice has been en-
gendered against them. They point.
among other things, to the fact that it
was not long after the printing press
was invented when most English-speak-
ing people were turned away from the
Catholic church; that for many genera
tons afterwards the circulation of Cath
Ollie literature and the preaching of
Catholic doctrine was forbidden by the
government authorities, and that under
this policy the most erroneous notions
concerning their religion have been
handed down by their opponents. They
naturally ask that they should them
selves be heard before being condemned.
The course of lectures to be delivered by
Bishop Haid utterly eschews all con-
troversy and is simply intended to con-
vey true and just idea of religion as
taught by the Catholic church. Bishop
Haid is a man of much depth and ex
tensiye learning a forceful speaker, and
possesses great evolutionary ability"
His Lecturers will be entirely free and the
public are cordially invited. Arrange
ments for securing reserved seats will
be announced in to-morrow's issue.
