STORY OF CHINIQUY.
SYNOPSIS OF FRENCH-CANA-
DAMS STORMY CAREER.
He Led a Division from the Catholic
Church Into the Fold OF the Presby-
tcrians-Once Defended by Abraham
Lincoln.

Rev. Charles Chiniquy, who died in
Montreal, Que, recently was probably
The most widely known preacher Of
recent years. ChiniQuay's life in and
out of the church was turbulent one.
His quarrels with Bishop OReagan Of
Chicago led to the dismissal of that
bishop by the pope and drove hum
1reds, mostly French-Canadians, from
me church. Chiniquy was born in
kamouraska, Que, July 80, 1909. He
vas ordained to the priesthood in Mon
treal in 1888, largely through the la
oors of former monk named Mark
capucin, who took liking to Chini-
lDy when he was boy. In 1851 Chin
guy visited Illinois and during his
.ravels stopped at the French Cana
lian settlement at Bourbonnais Grove.
While there he electrified the members
Of the church by his powerful sermons
and eloquence. He was pleased with
the country and decided to locate
colony of his own in Kankakee coun-

project of the bishop of Chicago to
take possession Of the rich valley of

MONEY IN "STOUT."

Lord Iveagh, whose gift of $1,250,0o0
to the Jenner institute of Great Brit
ain is winning tributes of praise In all
parts of the civilized world, is Edward
Cecil Guinness, son of the great brew
er Of Dublin. The gift of Lord Iveagh
is probably the most important ever
made to science. Specifically, it Is
to be used for researches in bacteriol-
ogy and biology, a quest that concerns
the life Of every man. Possibly nine
tenths Of all deaths are caused by germ
diseases, and it will be to fight these
maladies by the discoveries OF their
causes and means Of prevention that
Lord Iveaghs money will be used.
Lord Iveagh is the third son Of the
late Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness. He
is 50 years old and was made a bar
onet twelve years ago and raised to
the peerage in 1891. From the i'm
mense fortune accumulated by the
manufacture Of the world-renowned
Guinness "stout," the family have
made enormous donations to Dublin.
