CHICAGO Ill, Nov. 5.-A. D. Powers,
the former Cuban relief agent of Chicago,
is still at his fathers home at Owensboro,
Ky. His mind is clear on some points,
but his general conversation is incoherent.
The Chicago detectives who are at work
on the case believe that Powers was held
up and robbed while crossing bridge in
Chicago and that bis mind has been af-
fected by blow. Powers is unable to
tell of any assault. He grows violent at
times and the presence of an attendant is
at all times necessary.

AI,etter From Cardinal Gibbons.

washington, May 18.-Through Rev
DR.. Stafford of st. Patricks church, this
city, a prominent republican, who held a
foreign mission under President Harri-
son, addressed several questions to Car
dinal Gibbons relative to the recent de-
mails of religious liberty and attacks of
the American Protective association on
the Catholic citizens of the country. The
cardinal sent the following reply:
Cardinals Residence.
Baltimore May II, 1895.
My Dear Sir: 1t Is the duty Of the lead
ers of political parties to express them'
selves, without any equivocation, on the
principles of religious freedom, which I'M
derlie our constitution.
Catholics are devoted to both the great
political parties of the country. and each
Individual is left entirely to his own con-
science We'are proud to sayin the long
history of the government of the United
States the great Catholic church has
never used or perverted Its acknowledged
power by seeking to make politics sub
serve its own advancement. Moreover. 1t
is our proud boast that we have never
interfered with the civil and political
rights of any who differ from us In re-
ligion We demand the same rights for
ourselves and nothing more. and viii be
content with nothing less.
Not only Is It the duty Of all parties
distinctly to set their faces against the
false and un-American principles thrust
forward Of late, but much as regret the
entire Identification of any religious body
as such with any party, ! am convinced
that the members of q religious body
whose rights, civil and religious, are at
tackled, will naturally and unanimously
espouse the cause of the party which has
the courage openly to avow the princi-
pies of the civil and religious liberty ac-
cording to the constitution.
Patience is q virtue, but It Is not the
only virtue. When pushed too far 1t may
degenerate into public sentiment. Yours
faithfully.

ROYCE IS ACQUITTED
Declared Not Guilty of Embezzling
Funds of the Veterans Home
Association.

A jury in Judge Troutt's court yesterday
declared c. E. K. Royce not guilty of en-
bezzling $2050 from the Veterans Home
Association.
This verdict practically ends once
famous case. Royce is the ex-secretary of
the Veterans Home Association who q
couple of years ago was found in a
Iodging-h house wounded nigh unto death,
but in such mysterious manner that for
a long time The nature of his injuries
could not be d termined. 1t was finally
discovered that he had shot himself in the
top of his head.
During his convalescence shortage of
almost $4,000 was discovered in his ac-
counts with the ASSOCIATION. He has
been twice tried on the Charge of embezzle-
ment, being found guilty the first time,
but, aving been granted new trial by
the Supreme Court, he is now acquitted.
The other charges against him will prob
ably be dismissed. and the only recourse
the association now has is in the civil
courts.
