THE SHREDDER CASE
Now in the Hands of the Pope-The Mon
signor Talks.

Washington, Oct 2i.-The cardinal,
archbishops and bishops, constituting
the board of directors of the Catholic
University of America today decided 70
refer the case of Monsignor Shredder,
professor of dogmat.c theology at the
university, to Pope Leo for final deter
mination. This conclusion was reached
nounced in an official statement issued
by the board. The case is one of the
most notable in the recent history of the
church and beside agitating the hi4r-
archy to the center and engaging public
attention in this country 1T has been con-
sidered at the vatican and has been the
tween Rome and the papal delegate at
Washington.
1t was understood that while the de-
cision was to refer the case to Rome
for final acton, yet the board had ex-
pressed its own view, which would be
followed to Rome by Monsignor Shroe-
der's views and that his retirement would
come about voluntarily within year.
Statements that Mons.gnor Shredder has
resigned as preliminary to the refer
ence of the case to the pope were pos
itively and authoritatively denied.
After the board had adjourned a reps
resentative of the Associated Press ask
ed the monsignor for an authorized
statement. He expressed regret at the
prominence given to his name before
the public, and said that he most ear
nestly wanted to resign during his last
vacation, that he had been suffering
very much from neuralgia while in Ger
many and the physicians advised him
to resign on account of the great and
continued mental excitement connected
with his position; that he came back to
the university because the holy father
could not resign without the consent of
the holy father; that as to the personal
attacks made upon him, his answer was
only contempt, and that he was glad
to hear that the board did not take
the charges into consideration.
The Shredder case has been remark
able controversy i'm many respects Mon
signor Shredder entered the faculty of
the university when it was started, and
has been with it continuously ever since.
He is recognized authority on doctrines
and philosophical subjects, a man of
wide scholarship and and considered the
foremost Latin orator of the church.
On recent occasions he differed from his
associates on the policy of political
economy, and this was intensified at the
time of Bishop Kanas retirement from
the university, it being said that Mon
signor Shredder was in part responsible
for that change. He was regarded as
the conspicuous exponent of the German
clergy and the views they entertained on
church poFity.
At the meeting of arehbishops to con-
slider general affairs relating to the
church It was decided to continue the
Catholic Indian bureau with Mons.gnor
Stephan lin charge, and to distribute
about $4,000 for Indian schools.

DEVIL-FISH DYING.

Other Additions to the New York
Aquarium Not Very Well-Effect on
the Competition With Art and Zoo
logy.
New York, Aug. 9-When DIR. Bean.
the superintendent, got down to the
Aquarium this morning, to inspect the
CONSIGNMENT of fish received by him
from Bermuda yesterday, he reported
that many of the curiosities were in a
bad way. Most seriously indisposed
was the devil-fish, which looked as
though it would not live through the
day. Dr. Bean is in competition with
the Art and the Natural History Mu-
seums for the attention of the popu-
lace He said yesterday that he has
had 100000 visitors during the last
seven months, more than art and
zoology combined have drawn. And
with a devil-fish he thought to make a
record 1t was a great disappointment,
therefore, to see that the star attrac-
ton was sickly.
The octopus was a young creature,
about the size and shape of an oyster
plant, but the tentacles are a foot or
more in length. 1t is whitish in color
and very ugly. Not very we'll when
it arrived it was put in tank with
a large quantity of salt added to make
the water as dense as that to which
the octopus was accustomed in his
deep-sea habitat But all these provi-
sions seemed to be futile.
The thirty-five other specimens in
this, the fourth and last consignment
of tba exDeditiOn sent to Rermuda hv
the Aquarium were also not very we'll
TODAY. There were twelve clawless
notified members of the crustacean ia
mily, crawfish of a sort; green, blue,
and gold thumpers; kinds, snappers,
rockfish, and squirrel-fish; fiat bel
lied trunkfish, hedge-hog-fish, and
fish that looked as though it had four
eyes. and several surgeon-fish.

MORRIS COVE.

Rev. Elmer A. Dent of ST. Andrews
M. e. church preached another of his
mastery sermons Sunday afternoon in
Park Methodist chapel to an apprecia-
tive audience, who listened spellbound
to the earnest words as they fell from
his lips. The chapel was tastefully
decorated with flowers, grasses and
potted plants. The choir gave excel
lent satisfaction; in fact, every sermon
seems to be better than the previous
one. ...
The cool sea breeze across from the
sound to the harbor is making for Park
chapel reputation for delightful cool
place in which to enjoy Sunday af-
ternoon service. Residents, summer
people from the Cove and from Cosy
Beach, also from the city and from ST.
Andrews church, made up good au-
dience.
The location away from the trolley,
yet near enough for convenience, makes
Park chapel a quiet, restful place in
which to renew ones Christian strength
as one aged lady remarked. She had
enjoyed a quiet hour with God there.
So out of the multitudes that go to the
shore for recreation and pleasure a few
are found who tread their way to the
house of God

sections and is not octagonal. There are
$500 box seats, groups from three to
twelve in a box, $40 a seat. Five thou

at $50; 572S at SO and 1888 at So each,
making total seating capacity of To-
252 Should all these seats be occupied
at the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight, the re-
ceipts would amount to $2S4. 600.
Space has been set aside for operating
the microscope, also about 240 seats for

day.
''Fitz'' made his usual visit to the post
Office, but Corbett, who seldom is seen in
town, took the opposite direction over the
foothills. Concerning charges Of drink

doing nothing to injure his chances in the
fight
