MISSING PROPRIETOR UHSE
HIS FAITHFUL DOG. WHICH AC-
COMPANIED HIM, RETURNS AF-
TER A WEEKS ABSENCE.

Had Llewellyn, the hunter cflegendary
fame, been quick to grasp the inteli
gence of his famous hound when It
summoned him home to save his only
child from being devoured by wolf, he
would not have had occasion to vent his
spleen on the dog for being late with the
summons So, If any of the Uhse fam
lily. of this city, who now mourn the
disappearance of their father had been
quick to notice the strange actions Of
the dog which accompanied him on his
departure and which returned yester-
day, they might have been able through
those actions to gain some knowledge
as to his whereabouts.
Uhse kept the KiIkwood House, at
Third and Shipley streets.
He has been gone about week and
his leaving Wilmington was, it is said,
due to his failure with the financial end
of the business. Creditors were upon
him from all sides and the only sOlace
left for the depressed German was
flight. He took it, But where, no one
knows. He left no note to his wife
children and the general opinion of nis
friends is that a dire fate has befallen
| him.
His friends cannot account for his
strange actions, as he was never known
to be ill-content of mind, and thousands
of conjectures have been formed as tc
his whereabouts
He was last seen in the vicinity oi
the b. & o. railroad depot, at Delaware
avenue and DUPONT streets. His large
Irish setter dog was with him. Whether
he purchased a ticket to Philadelphia ol
not is not known Again it is said thai
he was seen sitting in Brandywin'
i Park. Again he was seen standing OF
the wire bridge which spans the Bran
dywine. looking into the water below.
No one has seen him since. Satur
day afternoon the dog entered the bar
room and set up yell that could b.
heard for several blocks away. He wen
: from one room to another as If seek
ing his master. The animals bark
struck terror to the hearts of the fam
lily. The police have been requested b.
, his grief-stricken family to search TO
him.

FORTY HOURS DEVOTIOH ATST MARYS
ELOQUENT SERMONS BY VICAR
GENERAL LYONS AND FATHER
BIRMINGHAM.

Amid a wealth of autumnal flowers,
heightened by the soft glow OF tier upon
tier of wax candles upon the beautiful
white marble altar of st. Mary's
Church, at Sixth and Pine streets, yes
terday, was inaugurated the exposition
or forty hours devotion to the blessed
sacrament.
At the 1890 a. m. high mass Rev.
Father Francis was the celebrant; and
Fathers Kelly and Mealey, deacon and
sub-deacon OF the mass Very Rev.
John A. Lyons, V. G., preached the SER
mon In an eloquent and mastery style.
Said he: "The object OF the forty hours
alteration OF Our Lord I'm the Blessed
Sacrament is enc permeated with an
underlying principle that cannot, must
not, be ignored No other quality can
take its place, no other virtue takes pre-
cedence Of It, and this principle Is the
negation Of self in sacrifice. Self-sac-
rifce Is not merely one of time In
spending a brief hour here in church.
but the avoidance Of those sins that We
too often bring along with us into
church-the impure thought. the un-
holy desire. and worst of all the easy
indifference manifested by too many
Catholics upon occasions Of this kind.
| Turning to the tabernacle the rever
end father pathetically drew a parable
Of the grandeur Of Gcd and the grea
sacrifices in dwelling with us in S,
humble a manner ana urged all to TAXI

cred and sacrifice their sins as beins
The best Offering to make to God in tn
real presence.
In the evening, at vespers, Rev w. J
Birmingham preached from the text
Come to me all ye that are weary AM
heavy laden and / viii refresh you.
The brilliant young priest held tn
close attention of the large congrega
tion throughout the powerful sermon
and the services closed with the bene
dlction of the blessed sacrament
