Refutes All She Had Said Arains, tn.
Catholic Church.

Mrs. Mary NJ. White, nee Windsor.
who died recently at Annapolis, Nd,
made statement before notary public
previous to her death, in which She re-
futed all she had said about the Catholic
church and the life of nuns.
Mrs Whites lecture III Annapolis in
1888, i'll which she exhibited herself as
an escaped nun, attracted some atten-
ton at the time. Her deathbed confess
sion was stated by those present to be
purely voluntary on her part. 1t was
made TO Reys Thomas Hanley and John
Cook, who are engaged in parish work.
They had been summoned Thursday
morning at her request Mrs White
made complete retraction and subse-
que1tly received the sacraments Of the
Catholic church. She was buried
Wednesday i'll the Catholic cemetery.
During her lecture Mrs White, who
was then Miss Windsor made serious
charges against certain priests She re-
called the names Of those she had de-
famed and exonerated each of them,
thus confessing her sin
She had been one of the sisters of
charity at the convent near Eager and
Valley streets, Baltimore, but was not
a nun. She had taken the novice or can
didate degree.

Although the mountain path is steep and night
Is long and drear,
Above the clouds, In beauty grand. the stars
are shining clear.
Below the surface of tho sea. toy tempests un-

The ms tenants feel no storms but gam
boil unafraid.
What though the clouds are hanging low and
troubles oppressY
There Is a balm for all our pain each wrong
has its redress
Then why should erring portals fall disbeart-

That winds above the hill crests dark to noun

Although scross hfe's rugged path q veil Of

And mountain tops in triumph rise. enpurpled

Cardinal Manning's Metaphor.

Cardinal Manning used an apt meta
phor when he compared the ancient
church to ship, the Anglican church
to boat and every other form of Prot
estantisn to tub. His remark was
something like this: 'Three hundred
years ago we (the Ang1icans) left a
sound ship for boat. I do not now pro-
pose to abandon the boat for a tub" To
any one following with half all eye the
trend Of denominational religion at the
present day it must be evident that a
great number are getting out of the tub
and are already ioundering in the great
ocean Of infidelity. 1t was bound to
come.
Ireland stands pre-eminent among
Catholic nations for the purity of her
faith and filia1 reverence for the priest
hood. Scarcely was she converted to
Christianity when she bloomed as a rose
in the garden Of the church. and the
soggarth aroon ranked above warriors
and statesmen, chieftains and kings
His place in the nations affections can
never be taken by another.

WAGES IN GOOD OLD CHINA.
In Spite of Their LOwness the Celes-
tiaIs Wax Fat.
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
How a Chinese workman manages to
support his family and remain sleek and
fat on the wages he receives is an ever
lasting mystery to the European and
American. The Chinese are a people OF
marvellous economy. They will support
family, furnishing food, clothes shelter,
from a small garden which they call
farm, but which In America would not
more than furnish an American family
with early vegetables.
In cities the laborlng men receive the
nnerest pittance. In Canton, where labor
ers are better paid than In other parts OF
China. skilled workmen live on these
wages: Shoemaker. 81 per month; black
smith. IS per month; fine ivory -carver' 81
per month; tailor, So per month; hne en-
broiderer, "a per MONTH designer, 70 per
month; silversmith, s. per month.
The Chinese are superstitious and the
workmen support, In addition to their tenn
pies and pagodas and priests (Which re-
ceive more IN proportion than the
churches OF Europe and America, idol
makers, geomancers, fortune tellers, phy-
siognomists, soothsayers. astrologers and
interpreters OF dreams, who exist by thou
sands and coin all the money they want.
Another thing which makes money for
certain class is the Chinese custom OF
burning great quantities Of "spirit-money'
Imitation coins, which are supposed to
be legal tender for dead relatives. one city
alone employs 100000 people In making this
cash for ghosts.
Peculiar superstitions embarrass the
workman. For instance. carpenters and
builders have 10 exercise great care IN
selecting a ridge-pole for house. IL must
have neither cracks nor knots, and In II a
small hole must be made and filled with
gold leaf and the whole beam painted red.
This insures good luck for the owner OF
the house.
The tea trade employs thousands OF per-
sons. The laborers receive from 81 to SO
por month, according TO their grade Of
work.

Jacksonville Citizen: Ex-Gov F. P.
Fleming, administrator of the estate of
Gustave Drolshagen, vs. A. p. Fries. ad-
mlnistrator of the estate Of Hedwig Drol-

be rendered to Judge Call A review Of
the testimony taken before the master is
gwen, showing that at the time of death
Drolshagen was lying in bed on the left
SIDE, and the bullet entered the back of
his head. The conclusion is that he was
shot while asleep. 1t is found that Mrs
Drolshagen was shot in the eye, and that
the shot that killed DR.. Drolshagen arous-

This is the case wherein Dr. Drolshagen
and his wife were found murdered in bed
at their home near Lawtey, three or four
years ago. A thief had entered in the
night, shot them both dead, and then rob-
bed the house. The question was raised
as to whether the doctor or his wife died
hrst. If the doctor, then the property
passed to his wife, and in turn to her rel

PREPARING THE CAMP GROUND.
Getting Ready for the Fourth Regi-
ment on ST. SimOns.


Brunswick, Ga, June %.-The old
grounds near the Ocean pier have been
put into splendid shape for the coming
-encampment and the work on tent plat
forms and dining halls is far advanced.
When the companies of the Fourth Geor-
gla reach the island they will find one of
the best equipped camp grounds they have
ever set foot upon. The grounds are I'M
usually large and ample room is left be-
tween each tent for the winds to sweep
through. The beach is not over 200 yards
from the farthest tent, and surf baths in
abundance can be had. Since the last en-
campment there has been numerous bath
houses erected on the beach and the ne
cessity for bringing suits along does not
now exist The Brunswick Rifiemen are
anxious to make the visiting military have
a good time and will adopt any suggestion
from their chief in this regard.
DR.. Hugh Burford, of the Southern
system force, left to-day for the Tennes-
see convention of road surgeons. He will
read an interesting and instructive paper
on the value of the railway surgeon to the
system he represents.

large numbers of retail dealers out Of

D. r. Noyes said the bill was calcu-

state.
Mr.. Nelson, of Minneapolis, speaking
for the manufacturers, said If the bill
was passed it would strike a fatal blow
at manufacturing in Minnesota. 1t
was absolutely necessary for the safety
of manufacturers that they have some
means of obtaining information as 20
the amount of goods on the market,

J. S. O'Brien, of Saltwater, said the

Judiciary Committee Hears Kicks
on the Sheehan Bill.

The senate judiciary committee gave
a public hearing on the Sheehan anti
trust bill at noon yesterday.
Charming Seabury was the first
speaker in opposition to the bill. He
called attention to the fact that the
chapter 10, laws Of 1891. This, he held,
was all the antitrust legislation this
state needed.
Speaking of the new Law, he said
that many lines of goods which the
Minnesota merchants must handle in
order to compete with those of other
cities, and in order to get these goods
they must make certain agreements as
to prices, sometimes in writing. Other
wise it was impossible to get the goods
at all. Perhaps one half of the goods
handled were proprietary articles on
which the profits of both wholesaler
and retailer were limited
The new bill would simply drive the
Minnesota merchants out of business
and send the trade to Chicago or New
York, taking that much money from
the state.
Associations between persons engaged
in similar lines of business were neces-
sary and almost universal The small
business men. as well as the large
ones, found it necessary to organize
for the correction of evils All over
the state the farmers and butter makers
were organized into creamery associa-
items by which they were advancing
the interests of one of the most import
ant young industries in the state. The
bill would abolish these associations
and punish those who were doing much
for the development of the state.
Mr.. Seabury read a number of tele-
grams from wholesalers showing that
the bill would. reach none Of the big
trusts. and would only ruin the mer-
chants without benefitting the consum-
ers in the least.
Mr.. Partridge, az Minneapolis, could
see no reason for the passage of a bill
that would simply isolate Minnesota
from the other states and confer no
benefit upon any one.
Mr.. Patrick, wholesale grocer, of Du-
luth, said the bill would drive the
wholesale houses over into Wisconsin
and close most CT the important retail
