PRISONERS EXCITED.
The 500 Inmates of the Jail Shouted to
Hang Up Setback.


Chicago, October 19.-The 500 pris-
oners in the county Jail evinced much
the same spirit of restlessness this
morning that is noticeable on the morn
ings of the days when hangings occur
in the Jail. They were nervous and
demonstrative. Crowds of morbidly
curious people who assembled on Dear
born avenue as early as 8 o'clock, and
gazed UP at the grated windows of the
Jail seemed to excite the inmates. Yells
and boots greeted the crowd and the
Jail corridors rang with shouts, among
which were easily distinguishable the
words, Hang up Setback" This out
break referred to Inspector Setback,
who had charge of the police end of
the prosecution CT Luetgert.
Jailer Whitman finally sent word to
the corridor guards to inform the pris-
oners that if the demonstration did not
cease all prisoners would be punished
by being kept in their cells the entire
day-with no opportunity for the accus-
toned exercise. The threat Gid not
have much effect, and it was some time
before the prisoners were quoted.

Washington, October 19.-The meet

consider questions of policy and adj
ministration of the church in America.
and of the directors of the Catholic
University TO pass upon the affairs of
that institution. has brouhht together
notable assemblage of Catholic dig

of the church are represented, includ-
ing Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Mar

Corrigan, of New York; Archbishop
Ireland, of St Paul; Archbishop Ryan.
OF Philadelphia; Archbishop Williams,
of Boston: Archbishop Chapeile, OF

The meeting OF the directors of the
University begins at 10 a. m. to-mor-
row. The directorate is made up of
the Cardinal and most of the Arch
bishops, with five bishops and three-
lay members.
Unusual interest has attached to the
meeting owing to reports that charges
would be preferred against Monsignore
Schroeder, who occupies the chair Of
dogmatic theology in the University,
with view to his removal.
These reports were Riling topic

opinion of h:s-friends will be decisive
in putting an end to any movement
toward his removal. 1t was stated by
those conversant with the testimony
that this assurance was in the form of
letter from the Pope, In substance
stating that Monsignore Schroeder must
not be disturbed in his present field of
work. When efforts were made to see
the Monsignore on the subject, he re-
turned the answer that he had nothing
to say to-day. There is good reason TO
believe. however, that a communication
of some kind bearing on his case hast
been received from Rome and that IL
is favorable to his interests.

Keane made the address. The Arch
bishop spoke of his long service with
the University, Of its Americanism, and
of the support which Pope Leo had
given to it at all times. In this con-
nection, Archbishop Keane said mat
when he went to Rome a year ago. the
Pope said to him that the whisperings
then current against the University
were lies: that they were inspired by
men who were enemies not only of the
Archbishop. but of the University: re-
fractaire who oppose the policy OF tbs
Pope. He would show the Pope, he
said, by the manner he treated the
Archbishop, how he honored and trust

A TRUE BEAR STORY.
A Yellowstone Park Bruin Gives . Ores
Moral Lesson to Parents.

A Yellowstone Park Bruin Gives . Gres,
Moral Lesson TO Parents.
Speaking Of law and the enforcement OF
discipline In Yellowstone park, heard the
story Of bear there which ! consider ex
ceedingly important not only as comment
on the discipline of the park, but as a NOR
al lesson to parents in domestic obedience.
The story is literally true, and II 1t were

have no value Mr.. Kipling says, "The law
of the jungle fs-obey." This also seems
to be the law of Yellowstone park. There
is lunch station at the upper basin, near
Old Faithful, kept by very intelligent
and ingenious man. He got acquainted
last year with she bear, who used to come
to bis house every day and walk into the
kitchen for food for herself and her two
cubs. The cubs never came. The keeper
got on very intimate terms with the bear,
who was always civil and well behaved
and would take food from his hand with
out taking the hand.
One day toward sunset the bear came to
the kitchen, and, having received her por-
ton, she went out of the back door to car
ry it to her cubs. To her surprise and an
ger the cubs were there waiting for her.
infants and gave them a rousing spank
ing. "She did not cuff them; she spanked
theIn," and then she drove them back into
the woods, cutting them and knocking
them at every step. When she reached the
spot where she had told them to wait, she
left them there and returned to the house.
And there she staid in the kitchen for
two whole hours, making the disobediens
children wait for their food, simply to dis
cipline them and teach them obedience.
The explanation is very natural. When
the bear leaves her young in a particular
place and goes away in search of food fol
them, If they stray away in her absence,
she has great difficulty In finding them.
The mother knew that the safety of hen
cubs and her own peace of mind depended
upon strict discipline in the family. Oh,

Hardships Of the Union Army After the
Battle of the wilderness.
General Horace Porter draws the follow
Ing picture of wartime experiences in his
campaigning With Grant" In The Cen
tury: The continual rain was most dis
heartening. On May 16 Grant wrote to
Halleck: "We have had five days almost
constant rain, without any prospect yet Of
its clearing up The roads have now be-
come 80 impossible that ambulances with
wounded men can no longer run between
here and fredericksburg. All offensive op-
erations must necessarily cease until we
can have "a hours Of dry weather. The ar
my Is in the best Of spirits and feels tn,
greatest confidence In ultimate success.
= . The elemants alone have suspended
hostilities.
In the Wilderness the army had to strug-
gle against fire and dust; now 1t had TO
contend with rain and mud. An ordinary
rain, lasting for a day or two, does not
embarrass troops, but when the storm
continues for "a week 1t becomes one of the
most serious obstacles In campaign. The
men can secure no proper shelter and no
comfortable rest; their clothing has no
chance to dry, and tramp of a few miles
through tenacious mud requires as much
sxertion as an ordinary days march.
Tents become saturated and weighted with
water and draft animals have increased
loads and heavier roads over which to haul
them. Dry wood cannot be found; cook
ing becomes difficult; the mems spirits
are affected by the gloom, and even the
most buoyant natures become dishearten-
ed. 1t is much worse for an army acting
on the offensive, for 1t has more marching
to do, being compelled to move principally
on exterior lines.
Staff officers had to labor day and night
during the present campaign in making
reconnoissances and In cross questioning
natives, descrters prisoners and fugitive
negroes in an attempt to secure data fol
the purpose Of constructing local maps
from day to day. AS soon as these were
finished they were distributed to the sub
ordinate commanders Great confusion
arose from the duplication Of the names of
houses and farms. Either faa0iy names
were particularly scarce in that section of
the state or else the people were united by
close ties Of relationship and country
cousins abounded to q confusing extent.
So many farmhOuses in some of the local
tiles were occupied by people OF the same
name that when certain farms were deeig
mated in orders serious errors arose at
times from mistaking one place for an.
other.
