Stokes StetSOn.
Catherine Shirley Says She Is
Latter'S Daughter.
She Has Retained Counsel and VIII
Prosecute Her Claim.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, June g. Kansas
City has produced claimant to the
estate of the late Kate Stokes -Stetsop,
whose recent death In Be ston soon after
the death OF her husband, the millionaire
theatrical manager, was widely chronicled.
The contestant is Mrs. Catherine Shirley,
who has lived here for year and whose
husband, from whom she is separated,
is resident OF Chicago. According to
Mrs. Shirley's story, she is Kate Stet-
sons daughter. Her mother was woed and
won many years ago while she was still q
circus rider, by Carl Antony, young
circus performer from Germany. Mrs.
Shirley Is their child.
She was born at Quincy, Ill, 10
years ago, and shortly after her birth
was left by her mother with a Mrs sgd
ner, who raised her. She was married
while quite young at Houston, Tex.
From the time of her birth until her
mothers death, Mrs. Shirley was sup
ported by money sent by her mother, out
she saw her mother very seldom and
never saw the late Mr.. Steison. 1t Is her
belief that Mr.. Stetson knew nothing of
her mother having child by former
husband. Mrs. Shirley has employed
counsel and taken steps to prosecute her
clans in the prorate court at Boston. She
claims the estate as the sole heir OF hei
mother.

finished. Whatever remains OF the gen.
eral fund will lie left in the keeping OF

OF the tornado district, houses are being
made habitable once more. and demol-
ished buildings are being rapidly rebuilt.
In East st. Louis the work of restora.
ttoD goes on steadily, and there is no
abatement OF the relief committees work.
Many destitute people who were COM
pelled to 1--we in tents until their dernol-
ished homes are repaired, are becoming
accustomed TO their environments. Ia
some places tenants live in box cars.

Baltimore a. OHIO railroad, who was in

of a friend as a result of his wounds.
None Of the patients in the hospital

A PAPAL NUNCI0.
New Rank TO Be Given Pope's Dele
gate to This Country.
Probability That the Post Will Be Filled
by MGR. Lorenz:lli.

In connection with the speculations as
to the departure of Cardinal Statolli from
the United States, chiefly on the ground
it is not in keeping with the cardinatial
dignity to fiji mission to a country
where there is 40 higher representative
OF he papal see than an spostolic dele
gate, the news now comes from Cat holi C
circles that this obstacle will no longer
exist, as the Washington mission is to be
raised by be Pope to the rank appropri-
ate to nuncio, or ut least an inter
nuncio.
sit is my opinion" said prominent
ecclesiastic who came much in con tact
with Cardinal Satolli during hislste visit
&c Boston, THAT he will not leave the
Unhed states permanently, or, IL he
does, that his successor VIII be csrdi-
nal. learn that the mission to Washing
ton has heen raised 10 level with the
greater nuncios in Europe, and these are
always filled by cardinals. %
In accordance with statement made
by his secretary, Rev. Mr.. Rocker, Car
dinal Satolli Will undoubtedly go to
Rome at the time Of the next oonsistory,
'as the requirements arc that new car
dinal shali receive the full investure of
his office from the Pope, and within a
year shall visit the tom bs of the apostles.
1t will then be appropriate for him to
1919 SSoish'sSds 40 l'apdi
to the United States.
1t is believed, however, that, owing to
the recent death OF Cardinal Calm berti
and the important place left vacant in
consequence, he will be retained in Rome.
The latest and most probable statement
as to successor in the United States is
that the papal mission aft Washington will
lie filcd by Mgr. LorenzelIi. now papal
nuDcio at The Hague, in Holland. The
fact that the latter will he invested with
the dignity of cardinal will, on account
of the elevation of the Washington mis-
sion, make his appointment ali the more
appropriate.
IL is unique coincidence that Mgr.
Lorenzelli, like Cardinsl Sstolii, is a
familiar personality to many New Eng
land c,ergymen, who were under his &C.
clesiasticil training when studying at the
American College in Rome and attending
the Propoganca.
The news OF the new rank OF the papal
delegate OF the United States and OF the
circumsts snocs of filing II will be received
with degree OF local, as we'll as general.
interest by the Catholic clergy.

The Secret Session.


The discussion in the senate behind
closed doors today was devoted entirely
TO the Cuban question ana the greater
part OF the time was consumed by Sena-
tor Morgan in the continuation OF his
speech.
Senator'S Sherman and Lodge made
brief explanations of their visit to the
White House am ( cir conference with
the President, yll.g they hsdsgone there
as a substitute committee for the foreign
relations committees. They expressed
the opinion as the result of interview that
the executive was usinP ali due vigilance
in the protection of the rights of Anne
rican citizens and said that while IT
might be we'll enough for Congress to put
forth its opinion In regard TO the situa-
tion In Cupa in the shape of joint reso-
luton there was little probability of
getting such a resolution through with
out prolonged debate which wac imprac-
ticable In view CT the general desire for
early adjournment.
senator Morgan continued his remark 8
upon the same lines he had followed in
the course OF his argument in the open
Senate. lie said entirely too much conf
dence was reposed in the exec tive in this
matter; that whatever was done should
be done with the concurrence and CO.
operation with Congress and intimate ed
that for Congress to adjourn without
taxing some action for the protection of
our people in Cuba would be to shirk a
most solemn duty. He said the subject
OF his measure was to secure the right OF
Americans and that the refusal of tine
President TO furnish information as TO
what had been done in connection with
the 'Iompetitor' affair left Congress
dependent entirely upon unofficial sources
for that information.
Senators Turpie and Pasco made brief
speeches. The resolution introduced by
Senator Morgan went to the calender.

Rev. John c. Ahern, late pastor oil the

has recently been appointed as pastor
of the churches at Hot Springs, Custer,
Edgemont, Hill City and Newcastle
Wyo., has arrived at Hot Springs. &C
companied by his sister, at which place
he will establish his residence. The
newspapers of the state speak very
highly OF Father Ahern, from one of
which, published at Flandreau, we ex-
tract the following:
During his residence in Flandreau
Father Ahern has formed a great many
warm and lasting friendships, and goes
away with the esteem and respect of not
only the members Of his church here
but of the community at large. While
as a pulpit orator Father Ahern ranks
among the foremost in the state, he has
been while here a public spirited cit.
izen, an active supporter of the cause of
temperance and good morals among his
people and ia the community in which
he lives, a man sincere and honest in
his convictions, always willing to lend a
helping land to the needy and unfor-
%tunate, and above all a true American
citizen. His sister, Miss Kate Ahern,
who has resided here with him and kept
house for him during his residence here
is a most highly accomplished and
estimable lady. and will be greatly
missed in the social circles of Flandreau
as she goes with the Father to their
new home. Father Ahern leaves here
to-day for Chicago where he goes on
business, and after staying there a few
days will 60 direct to Hot Springs The
people of Hot Springs are to be congrat-
ulated upon obtaining so able a divine
and citizen. They both leave here with
the hearty we'll wishes and God speed
of their many friends in Flandreau and
Moody county"

The meeting of the Woman's Nc
day evening, which in response to an
invitation extended by the club, was
largely attended by the opposite sex
proved to be a very interesting occasion.
After the regular proceedings of the
club had been concluded, which en-
braced an exceedingly entertaining
speaking and musical program, II. d.
Reynolds favored the audience with a
half hour address. His remarks were
well chosen and appropriate to the &C.
c~asion, ignoring to a large extent the
discussion Of the political issues, and
combining himself mainly to the great
principle of American patriotism. The
speaker held the closest attention of his
auditors, and was the recipient of a full
measure of applause. The meeting was
a most successful one, for which much
credit is due to the ladies Of the Nc.
Kinley club, who may now be said to
be the most active and persistent
workers in the community in the inter-
est of the election Of Mckinley, the re-
cognized apostle of protection, advocate
of sound money and advance agent of
prosperity.
