CATHOLIC lBqHJLIGENCB
Cardinal Sato11i's Interest
ing Letter Of Thanks to
a Jersey City Priest.
WITH PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS
Touching AlIusion to Father Hem
nessy's Death-C B. i. Notes
General News.

Cardinal Francis Satolli has recently
sent a letter to a Jersey City priest thank
ing him for his attentions during a visit
paid to this city not long ago. In the let
ter the Cardinal has something interesting
to say about J~ersey-city and its Catholic
Churches in particular. His Eminence
is very enthusiastic about the zeal ex-
hihtted in the welfare of the churches
messed In any part of America better evil
dences of interest in the welfare Of the
church..
One thing he mentions as having par
tieularly impressed itself upon his mem
CRY, and that is the. excellence of the
parochial schools. Concerning their man
agement, their facilities, their results, he
has only words Of praise.
Il think the parochial schools of Jersey
City, at least those which I saw" his
Eminence said. 'sare doing excellent work
to Christianize as well as educate in a
general way the youth of your growing
city,"
The distinguished Cardinal was eloquent
in praise of ST. Peters College. He said
be thoroughly enjoyed his visit to that
institution. and admired exceedingly the
excellent curriculum adopted there. He
was much impressed, he said, with the
earnestness of the pupils when he was
addressing them on the importance of the
study of the Latin tongue.
OF other churches which he visited, he
speaks very hatteringly, and ends with a
touching allusion to the death of Rev.
Father Hennessy, of ST. Patrick's. The
Cardinal had a profound admiration for
that simple minded yet fearless priest.
and adds that IN all his experience he
never met with one who was more thor
oughly devoted to his work than the
late rector of st. PATRIOTS.
Cardinal Satoili denies Indignantly the
recent report that he has learned to ride
a wheel. He says.-"I never scorched a
mile in my life. because I never rode a
wheel. The clergy in Rome are pro-
hibited from riding a wheel. except those
priests engaged in parochial work" A
manufacturer has made him a present of
a wheel, which he will take to Rome with
him as an Illustration Of American in
dustry and skill, but he says he will not

Monticello avenue for the convenience
OF h Hill customers. Payments were,
however slow, and business began to
drop off, occasioned by the pam
icky condition of the times and
the opening Of big department stores
in New York. Mr.. Turner found at the
beginning of the year that he was be-
mind, u hoped to pull through. His an
ticipations, however, were not realized
ana bankruptcy stared him IN the face.
Yesterday the NAL step was taken, and
this morning the stores were closed. Mr..

at work making up the inventory of the
goods. and he believes that by Monday
night he will be ready. On the following

groceries worth about $4,000. In ali prob
ability the store will be reopened after
Iuesday and the goods sold to the public

pressed for him, for he was generally
respected and among certain classes ex-
tremely popular. He has been q prcnai-
nent member of the Tabernacle Church
for years and acted as Its T~reasure for
Homeless he has done much work. and
many other charitable institutions owe
him a big debt of gratitude for his gener-
osit.y and the time he has contributed to
their welfare.

er, failed, Mr.. Turner was appointed re
ceiver. ana afterwards was President Of

possibility that the next convention will
be well worth attending. Delegates

possible so that the convention can be
opened on time, thereby avoiding the even

interesting, is lost upon the delegates

sold His ocer and Fried to skip.
Simon Goldburg. a Hebrew, of Grand
street. Hoboken, was arrested this morn
ing on a charge Of obtaining money under
false pretences. The charge was pre-
ferred by Lena Levy, of No. 102 Orchard
street, New York city. Goldburg Is en-
gagged to marry Lena. He kept a small
grocery store on Grand street. He found
that his business did not prosper and
that new capital was sadly needed to
keep him afioat. He decided to take in a
partner and concluded that the partner
ship might as well be both matrimonial
and business.
He began to- look around for some girl
with money. He went to New York.
where he met a friend named Huber. who
introduced him to Lena Levy. Lena and
Simon liked each other pretty well and
they soon struck a bargain. Lena had
money and she agreed to give Simon $500
as soon as he married her. The money
was not to be paid until after the mar
rage.
But Simon was in hard straits for cold
ready cash. So he went to Fritz Free
man, of No. 4H Grand street, Hoboken.
Freeman knows Lena n his word has
great weight with her. He persuaded
Lena that 1t would be a great evidence
of wifely affection and seal Simon's love
forever if h would give her intended
husband $50. Lena forked over the fifty.
On the strength of his Simon struck
Lena at divers times for five and ten
spots and got them. In this way he man
aged to borrow $40.
Yesterday Simon sold his grocery for
$50 and received the munifcent sum of s.
down. Simon was all ready to skip when
Lena appeared and had hin nabbed.
Huber was also arrested.
Simon set up a novel defense this morn
ing. He says that out of the $40 which
he obtained from Lena only SIS Of ii was
borrowed in Jersey. He paid So, to Huber
for introducing him to Lena. and he gave
Lena a s. ring,t SO h~eseoncludes that as
far as the State-ef New Jersey is con-
cerned Lena is S. IN his debt.
This ingenious plea puzzled even Re-
eorder MeDonough for a time, but finally
the Magistrate decided that he had better
hang on to Simon N committed him for
trial. sA
