To Protect the Priest.

A meeting was held Monday at which
the mayor, the chairman of the police
commissioners and others We're present.
1t was decided TO afford the priest such
protection as was at hand and to place
the whole matter before the grand
jury, which is to meet this week. Two
policemen are on guard. Bogacki says
he will never surrender and that he
will die game as priest of st. STAN
islaus.
Mayor Wright visited the premises
Monday night and advised the mob to
disperse. He convinced the leaders
that they were making a great mistake
by their course. His remarks, in addi-
tion to a rainstorm, caused the crowd
TO go home. There was another strug-
gle Monday afternoon at the church.
where members OF both factions had
assembled. After considerable fight
ing. In which no one was seriously
hurt, the adherents OF Father Bogacki
were repulsed. Not only were SEN
tries posted about the priests house but
within the residence is a strong guard,
ready to repel all invaders.

Then he was returned to the Illinois
conference and was appointed pastor
of Grace church in Bloomington. He
was succeeded in the Marshfield Ave-
nue. church by Rev. T. r. Strobridge.
and the latter in turn was followed by
Rev. w. w. Diehl. who now occupies
the pulpit of that charge. A family
consisting of the widow and two chill
dren-a son and a daughter Is left by
DR.. Miller. His family life was always
happy. The son. DIR. John Miller Is

Irish People Angered.

The Irish Roman Catholics, whose
anger has been aroused by the action
of the Polacks in decrying their ceme-
terry and practically refusing to inter
their dead therein, would undoubtedly
rush to the aid OF Bogacki and his
supporters. and the war would then be-
come not only religious but racial. The
result could easily be predicted. These
cogent reasons will undoubtedly keep
the oponents of Father Bogacki from
attempting to take his life.
Contrary to advice and earnest pro-
test of the policemen on duty In st.
Stanislaus parsonage, Father Bogacki
insisted on moving back there Monday
morning. although the church premises
were surrounded by sentinels. and he
managed to escape detection and enter
the house unseen A report gained cir
culation. however. that he was in the
house. and a mob of $50 assembled to
break down the door and take him
out The officers assured the mob that
he was not in the house, and gave
warning that anyone who undertook to
enter would do so at his peril. Not
being positive that the Objectionable
priest was in the parsonage. the mob
kept back.

Rev. James Miller was So years old.
He entered the Methodist ministry
when a young man and continued in 1t
until highwayman's bullet put an end
to his career. In Decatur, where he
lived with his family a few years ago.
he was pastor of the First Methodist
church until time limit forced him to
relinquish that charge. In 1892 he was
appointed presiding elder of the Deca-
tur district of the Illinois conference.
He held this office one year and then
followed his desire TO preach to con-
gregation rather than have charge OF a
district. What was then the Marshtield
Avenue church, now the Ashland Ave-
nue. church. Chicago, was successful in
its efforts to have him appointed It's
pastor as successor to Rev. 7. b. Hill
ton. who went there year previous
from Nebraska.

yet. but the chances for tragedy are
not remote. The greatest excitement
prevails in the city. Mayor Wright
has himself assumed command OF the
police force. and a number Of deputies
have been sworn in.
The latest startling report was to the
effect that mob was gathering. de-
termined to lynch Father Bogacki. who
was driven from his church Sunday
because he opposed the new cemetery
scheme. 1t is not, however, believed
that so desperate plan Will be carried
out. 1t would probably result in the
loss of scores of lives. In the first place
the military would be asked TO take a
hand. With this force, backed by the
police. the assailing mob would have
to face lead and steel. In the next
place, a more dangerous element would
likely have TO be encountered.

Causes Great Excitement.

The murder has caused the greatest
excitement. and every effort is being
made to find the person or persons who
committed the deed. Rev. DR. Miller
was last seen alive Monday night. At
that time he had with him sum OF
money, though no one knows how much
he carried. He was on his way to his
sons house when attacked and proba-
bly, entered the dark alley to hnd
short cut. Nobody in the vicinity heard
shots during the night, nor was any
one aware of any disturbance. The
theory of suicide Is disproved. not only
by the fact that the unfortunate clergy
man carried no weapon. but additional
found near his body, but additional
fact that his pockets were emptied OF
everything of value. No clew to the
murderers has yet been found and they
may continue to be at large for some
time.

as possible. It is remarkable also to no.
tice how newcomers to the city prison
quite readily become reconciled to the
surroundings. The first day they appar-
emily feel their degradation. but in a
few days it is wonderful to behold

Equally remarkable is the way the
newcomers, or at least those committed
for petty offenses, will take to lionizing
and looking up to those committed for
the higher grades of crime, such as
murder and bank robbery.

FINE COPPER GROUP.
Gila, County Mines Bonded by Phoenix
 Parties

Globe Silver Belt: We learn from W. w. Hill, superintendent of the Black copper group of claims, that de- velopment work has been temporarily suspended to permiE of the under ground works being timbered. The mine has been sufficiently exploited to demonstrate its great value, and even at the present stage of develop ment, it is safe to predict that it will prove to be one of the largest and most productive copper mines in Globe dis trict.
 A one-fourth interest in the Black copper group was recently sold to New York panies, who are refners and large dealers in copper, and Dr. J. M. Ford and Jas. A. Fleming of Phoenix, who bonded the property, are now in New York negotiating for the transfer of the other three-fourths to the same parties who purchased the quarter in terest They are fully informed as to the merits of the property, and recently tested sample of 2200 pounds of -the ore at Eheir eastern refinery, the result being very satisfactory.
 Hoisting works will be purchased immediately, and shipped from the east, and whether the property is sold or not, .he work of development vii be resumed and vigorously pushed and reduction works erected at an early date

-----.'--w. E1NCOLN'S WIDE SYMPATHY.
Treated All People Alike in a Courteous
 Manner.

Manner.
 Horace Greeley once said: I doubt whether man, woman or child, white or black, bound or free, virtuous or vl- cious, ever accosted or reached forth hand to Abraham Lincoln and detect ed in his countenance or manner any repugnance or shrinking from the prof fered contact, any assumption of supe- riority, or betrayal of disdain.'
 "Frederick Douglas, the orator and patriot, is credited with saying: MT. Lincoln is the only white man with whom I have ever talked, or in whose presence I have ever been, who did not consciously or unconsciously betray to me that he recognized nay color
 George Bancroft, the historian, al luding to this characteristic, which was never so conspicuously manifested as during the darker days of the war, beautifully illustrates it in these mem orable words: AS a child, in dark night, on rugged way, catching hold of the hand of it's father for guidance and support, Lincoln clung fast to the hand of the people and moved calmly through the gloom"

Pennies Not Legal Tender iii Amounts of
 More Than Twenty-Five Cents.
 There is postmaster in little town not far distant, who is noted for the amount of authority he is inclined to show in trivial matters. A short time ago. says the Mount Morris (Mich.) Union, business man of the place ap- peared before the stamp window of the office and demanded 300 one-cent stamps, for which he laid down an equal number of pennies. Here was good chance for the authoritative gentleman, and with a view of teaching his impor- tance, he picked 25 pennies from the heap, handed out 25 stamps and showed the rest of the money to the would-be buyer with the remark that pennies were not legal tender there in amounts of more than 25 cents.
 Expostulation was in vain, the post master cited the law in the case and that seemed to settle it. With a malicious gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his pocket and mildly inquired: q suppose I can get one-cent stamp here for penny, can't J?" Certainly" saia the man at the window. "Then give me a one-cent stamp" said the other laying down the money. It was handed to him, and he demanded another and another after that. Several people had come in in ths meantime, and were impatiently wait ing their turn at the window, but thu obdurate buyer Kept on gravely buying one-cent stamps on the installmen plan. Seeing determination in the fac of the other, the postmaster offered t arbitrate, but it was of no avail. HI

Vague Stories of Imperial Crime Reach
 the Outside World.
 Everyone who has ''done'' the Louvre will remember the low-pitched and somewhat gloomy halls in which are stored the treasures of Egypt. Beneath these lie yet more darlsly mysterious vaults, inaccessible to the pubic, though approached by wide and hand some staircase, such as would lead ore to imagine that it communicated with apartments of some importance. 1et one finds at the bottom nothing but broad passages disposed in the form of cross, and without any sign what ever of door or window.
 A recent examination, however, of the solid walls gives experts reason to believe that the masonry IS more recent than the rest of the structure in this, the oldest portion of the fortress pal ace. M. Vaugneux, well-known critic believes that many of the bodies oil victims killed in the revolution of 1896 were immured here, and that the gov ernment was afraid to reveal the facts when the remains of their comrades were collected beneath the Colonne de Juliet.
 'On the other hand, M. Blondel, tho architect of the building, and M. Nor mand, the secretary of the Society fol Protecting Parisian Monuments, holt the opinion that these subterraneal passages led to the oubliettes int which Catherine de Medicis cast thos who were unfortunate enough to incu her hate or fear. A judicious explora tion would clear up the matter, ant settle, too, several doubtful points a to the foundations of Lescot's origina citadel. Unfortunately, the annua grant does not provide for any sue

Won't Work There.

It, is an odd fact that the telegraph lines will not work through the Hoosac tunnel. Messages have to be sent on wires strung on poles over the top of the mountains, fully nine miles, and that is theway ingoing and outcoming passenger and freight trains are her aided to the keepers of the two tunnel approaches In order to maintain this overland mountain line a swath of woodland has to be kept clear of trees and bushes directly up the steep noun tain side. There are supposed to be magnetic ores inside the mountain.

 The secretaries were made the com, mittee on publishing the minutes. c P. Wilson was appointed conference visitor to the university of southern California from Arizona.
