the wife of the captain, confronting an
aged juror on the staircase. Sprung
from an old and respectable Massa-

beautiful, brilliant, dashing woman.
She had gone in early girlhood to the

and opened his gambling house on the

A NoNuN1oN MAN KILLED.
Fatal Result of an Encounter With
Strikers.

Strikers.
SCoTTDALE, Pa, July 31.-William
Cummings, the leader of the nonnnion
men brought here by the Scottdale Iron
& Steel Company to take the places oi
strikers, was shot ard instantly killed
tonight, in front of the Commercial
hotel. Cummings and three compan-
ions, all nonunion men, encountered a
number of strikers as they came from a
barroom, and war of words ensued.
Some one fired a revolver, and a dozen
shots followed in quick succession.
Cummings dropped dead with a bullet
in his temple. and his three comp panions
fed to the mill hotly pursued by an
angry crowd. When the nonunion men
reached the enclosure the deputies on
guard surrounded them and the mob
was forced to retreat.
Sheriff Zanoor, of Greensburg, is now
on his way here with so men. At mid
night everything was quiet, however,
and there was no fear of further out
break. Reports as to how the shooting
occurred are conflicting. James Dolf,
one of the nonunion men who were with
Cummings, was arrested tonight, and
other arrests will follow. The situation
is very much strained, and no one can
predict the outcome.

freight, consisting entirely of the out

varied from 200 to 1000 pounds, more
approaching the latter than the former
figure. The great majority of those
who go north on the Rosalie are
equipped for at least one years work.
Among the Rosalie's freight there were
forty-five boats "knocked down." and
ready to put together. These boats will
be carried across the mountains with
the outfits, put together and used to
carry the miners and their outfits down
the lakes and the headwater streams of
the Yukon, to Dawson City and the gold
fields. Each boat can carry about two
tons Of freight and five persons.

CHRISTIAN REALISM
LECTURE By THE REV. PATRICK
o. YoRKE
Los Angeles Thsater Crowded -Catho.
lie Dogmas Explained-The Real
and the Ideal

The Los Angeles theater was packed
TO the roof last night for the first of {
series of three lectures given by thu
Rev. Patrick @. Yorke of San Francis
CO, under the auspices Of the Catholi'
Truth society. The speaker. who was
introduced by the Right Rev. BishoI
Montgomery. first explained briefly tha
the aim of the Catholic Truth societ,
was to explain the truth about Catholi.
cism, not only to Catholics, but to Pro.
testants. He said there were many
points In which the Catholics and tbs
Protestants agreed in theory but diff
fered in practice; there were others In
which they radically differed.
| He deplored the misunderstanding and
Misrepresentation that existed which
credited the Catholics with an exchange
of money in the confessional box, as
that implied a man might sin in direct
ratio with the amount of money he had;
and that comfortable doctrine, the doc
trine of indulgences, which was wrong
fully understood as meaning that man
could raise particular Cain for that
particular time" Such things, and 9TH
ers that Father Yorke instanced. he
stated were all Misrepresentation. and
they were growing beautifully less. y
as, through the work of the Catholic
Truth society. the true principles and
beliefs and practices Of the church were
explained.
Thank God" said Father Yorke, I'VE
have too much respect for our own opin-
ions not to respect the honest opinions
Of others, and that we do not have to
further our own beliefs by maligning
the beliefs of others. We live in a COM
munity in which all are equal under a
common law. and we must know on
another That we may not believe IA
bles concerning them we must learn to
know our neighbors then we can re-
spect them; and we must let others
know our beliefs and bring them into
the inner sanctuary of our faith so
that respect may grow. one for an
other
Then it was that Father Yorke really
attacked his subject for the evening,
Christian Realism" He referred to the
dogma, peculiar to the Catholic church,
Of the real presence of Jesus Christ in
the sacrament of the Eucharist, and
dwelt some time on the mysteries of
transubstantiation He spoke Of the
relation of God to man which pervades
the Scriptures; of the instinct of the
human heart te be close to God; of the
growth of spiritual conditions from
mere paganism and idolatry; of the in
carnation. He touched on the Unitarian
and Trinitarian beliefs. and referred to
the danger of ritualism retrograding
from the ideal.
In this connection the speaker illus
trated his meaning by pointing out the
real and the ideal in various forms of
art, and said with his soul and his body

dition.
A discussion was held at some length
concerning the support of the Pacific
Churchman. which was represented by

George w Parsons introduced the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved. That in the ckath of Mr..
Francis Lefroy the church at large has
sustained a severe loss by the removal
of one who has always been an earnest
advocate of all that was for her best
and purest interests, and WHO, by his
efficiency and zeal. contributed largely
to the general welfare of this diocese. ="
Rev. Mr.. Tayler spoke of the beautiful
character of Mr.. LEROY, and said it was
a privilege to have been his rector. The
resolution was adopted by standing
vote and ordered spread upon the min
utes.
Bishop johnson paid a high tribute
to the efficiency of the chancellor ap-
pointed by him last year. Mr. H. T. Lee.
and said if he had helped others it was
due to the help he had received from
the chancellor. Thereupon Mr.. Lee was
reappointed to the office, of which he is
incumbent

treasurer of the board Of missions and
on motion the secretary was instructed
TO cast the ballot.
Bishop Johnson, Mr.. Tayler and 9TH
ers testified to Mr.. Parsons efficiency
in the office in the past year.
Bishop johnson spoke of the proposed
diocesan paper, recommended in his ad-
dress of Wednesday, saying it had al
ways been his desire to incresase the
support of the Pacific Churchman. hop
ing it would be the organ of the church
on this coast, holding the relation that
the larger papers of the east do to the
church on the Atlantic coast. He feared,
however, that they would fall between
two stools, and while not establishing
diocesan paper, fail to make the
Churchman the desired medium through
which to reach the parishes. On further
discussion, the matter was left to the
committee to act in conjunction with the
bishop.
After some further discussion of
finances. the convention adjourned to
meet at Guild hall of St. Johns church

invitation rendered by the rector, Rev.
