CATHOLIC PRIEST MURDERED.
His Watch and Purse Missing-No
Ciew to Ills Murderers.

Ills watch and Purse Missing-No
Clew to Ills NTurderers.
Philadelphia, NOV. 1.-THE body Of
Rev. Henry ]. AIcPake, an assistant
priest Of the Church Of the Annuncia-
ton, at Tenth and Dickinson streets,
was found yesterday morning lying in
an areaway in the rear of st. Pauls
academy, on Christian street, above
Ninth. The right side of the skull was
fractured, and ha had been dead for
some time. The nose was broker and
there were bruises on the forehead.
The police are convinced that the priest
wia murdered, and the fact tina his
watch and purse, which he had Tues
day night, are missing leads strength
to this theory. There is not the slight
est clew to the murderer.
Father McPake left his church about
9 o'clock Tuesday night to visit his
father, who lives in the opposite end OF
the town. He did not reach there, and
1t is not known what brought him tC
st. Paurs academy. The body was
discovered by the janitress of that In
stitution, and vas promptly identified
by the Skaters of Charity housed there
In. The priest was about 80 years old
of handsome presence, and a total alb.
stainer. As the areaway where he was
found Is enclosed on every side, 1t is
thought that his assailant, after rob
bling and beating him down, dragged
or threw the body over the fence tc
make it appear that he had stumbled
and fallen.

CAUGHT IN A RUSH.
A Miner Covered by Coal and Almost
smothered.

MAHANoY CITY, Nov. 11.-John Joseph, a
miner employed at the Primrose colliery, had
a narrow escape from being smothered to
death by a rush Of coal. He was employed
at the bottom of the gun-bOat slope and went
up in a chute to start a lump Of coal which
had become wedged. There was q sudden
rush of the coal and Joseph was precipitated
into the car below, the coal covering him to
a depth Of about a foot. Only his left foot
remained exposed. Fortunately a large
quantity Of fine coal first covered the vic
TINS body and formed a cushion under the
large Jumps Of coal that followed. This
prevented the man from being mangled.
Joseph would have been smothered to death
but for the presence of fellow workmen and
their prompt relief work. The victim will
be confined to his home for several days.

FOR THAT CROSS FEELING

Therapeutic treatment for ill-temper is a
late development OF medical science. y ply
sician, writing in medical journal, points
out that explosions Of temper which oc-
CIR on very slight provoc1d N are really due
to "a condition produced by an accumu
lation of small irritatiOns which have grad
ualIy worked up the patient into state
of excitement venting Itself in an explosion
quite out OF proportion to its apparent
cause"
With comforting illusions 10 short-Sam-
pered persons as patients" il is stated
that continuous physical discomfort has tue
same effect. and that even without obvious
discomfort the accumulation of abnormal
substances, such as uric acid, may produce
irritablity of temper.
Powders composed of twenty grains of BIZ
carbonate OF potash, with ten or twenty
of bromide OF potassium, are recommended
TO be taken when the feeling of irritability
comes on or as a preventive when some
thing annoying has occurred or some de-
pressing news is heard.
1t is suggested that these temper pow
ders'' might be especially valuable for those
unfortunates whose pleasure in life is de-
stroyed, their appetites impaired and their
digestions ruined, not through disease Of
their own, but through the constant ill-tem-
per and fretfulness of some other member
of their family.

A CASE OF STAGE FRIGHT

WHERE LOBBYING Is FELONY

Tennessee has enacted a law making the
act OF lobbying a felony, and Furnishing it
with fIom two 10 five years imprison-
nent II a cold wave of reform like that
81 oald hit washington, the human mind
refuses 10 conceive the grief and despair
that would cover the legions who tramp
the corridors of the Capitol, and masti-
cate the free ;oothpicks of the Avenue
hotels.
We describe these people specifically, so
that in case Of future legislation they may
Eos be COMPOUNDED with another class who
are not lobbyists, but only officers or
agents of trusts who spend the winters
here for the benefits Of the society and
climate. These gentlemen. WHO are not
lobbyists, are generally members of the
bar: not as often OF the Supreme Court
har, as of that at Chamhcrlin's. They
practice there principally, and before
committees TO some extent. After COM
mittees they 30 back to Chamberln's.
If they exert any influence over legis-
lat on, it is salutary one. 1t leads to
the enc ouragement of many worthy en-
terprises, and makes business for the
wine merchant and the dealer in costly
cigars. May they never bc cIassed with
mere vulgar lobbyists.
