Pittsburg. oct. LIE. j. Bremen, OF
to Chairman John NJ. Garman, of the
Democratic state committee, in regard
to the construction of the act of June
10, 1893, relative to the fling of nomi-
nation papers. Mr.. Bremen contends
that the certificates of candidates for
the state house of representatives
should be filed with the county commits
sioners instead of the secretary of the
commonwealth, the former provisions
Of the act of 1891 having been repealed
by the act of 1893. If Mr. Bremen is
correct ii is claimed every nomination
made for the legislature this year by
both parties is invalid and as it is too
late to file certificates with the coun-
ty commissioners. nomination papers
would have to be resOrted to. A nice
point of law is involved in the ques-
ton, and it is stated that Mr.. Bremen
will file bill in court, which will neces-

II is also stated that Mr.. Bremen is
so sure of his premises that he has
caused nomination papers to be circu-

will bring the matter before the courts

BURNED MOTTO BUTTONS.
Father Ludeke Collected About One
Th0usadd from Par0chial School
Children and Had a Bonfire,

New York, Oct. 1l.-A lively crusade
has been instituted by the Rev. Francis
Ludeke. assistant pastor of st. Vim
cent de Paufs church, i'm North Sixth
street. Williamsburg, against the
wearing of motto buttons by the pu-
pills of the parochial school attached
to that church. He began on Friday
morning by visiting the school, col
lecting about a thousand buttons from
the scholars and then burning them in
a big bonfire which he lighted for the
purpose in the back yard Of the school.
Father Ludeke has a reputation as
a fighter in the Eastern District. and
has carried several crusades to a sue
cessful end. The practice Of the boys
and girls I'm his school of wearing from
one to ten buttons, with varying kinds
OF inscriptions on them. was noticed
by him few days ago during a visit
your Wife," which he found pinned to
the coat of n seven-year-O boy,
brought matters to crisis.
The priest went to the Academy
building on Friday morning and called
the teachers together. Then the chill
dren We're assembled in the large class
room, made by opening some folding
doors. The teachers separated and took
up their stations in various parts of the
room. After placing large basket on
the platform he turned to the children
and said that all who wore motto but
tons on their persons must come for
ward and put them In the basket.
This announcement created a sensa-
tion, and the eyes of the children filled
with tears. Many Of them began to
secrete their treasures, but seemed
moved by the appeal that the priest
made. He is very popular with the chill
dren. When the buttons were all put
in the basket they numbered about one
thousand. Campaign buttons We're re-
turned to the owners. At the noon re
cess the children were all taken to the
back yard, where q big fire had been
built, and they watched the destruction
that followed.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Father Ludeke said: "These buttons
have played havoc among the children.
They neglected their lessons and some
seemed to have time for nothing but a
comparison of their collections. The
principal objection, however, was on
account Of the immoral inscriptions
that ! saw upon some Of them. The
nature OF some Of them was such that
the law ought to be invoked to stop
their manufacture. They are danger
Gus to the children and could work the
greatest harm. l did not take all the
buttons. making the exception in cases
| of campaign badges. To have taken
| them would be to destroy their ideas of
patriotism. All these l returned tn
them and these they will be permitted to
wear"
