SACRED HEART CHURCH
Will Give Its Picnic and Out
ing at Phoenix Hill Park
Thursday.

A largely attended and interesting
meeting of the committees having in
charge the arrangements for the picnic
for the benefit of the Sacred Heart
church, which takes place at Phoenix
Hill Park next Thursday, was held in the
school hall Sunday afternoon.
The various committee reports were
very encouraging, and the indications are
that this years picnic will prove more
pleasing than any ever given before.
This one will not be wholly dollars-and-
cents affair, but will furnish amusement
worth twice the admission. During the
afternoon there will probably be sack
and other races for prizes, and in the
evening a grand professional prize cake
walking contest, for which six couples
have already entered. The amusement
committee will also add other novel
features.
In addition to the Aldermanic contest
mentioned elsewhere, the race for the
diamond ring is exciting great interest.
The entries for the ring are Mrs. Thomas
w. Tarpy, representing the Altar Society,
and Miss Ella Dolan, the candidate for
the Young Ladies' Sodality, and the
friends of each are working zealously for
their favorite.
The Altar Society will serve an elegant
dinner and supper in the dining hall,
presided over by Mrs. Patrick Curran,
while the Young Ladies' Sodality will
manage the refreshment booths and fish
pond in the park, and they promise to
dispense hospitality with lavish hand.
Among the latter are Misses Julia Nc
Donough, Ella Dolan, Agnes McDonough,
Mary Higgins, Mary Glenn. Lizzie Nc
cormick. Lille Shaughnessy, Annie
Vaughan, Loretta Tighe, Katie Vaughn
and Viola Keal, who will prove bevy of
charming hostesses.

William Mack, pastor of the Catholic
church at Troy, Ind. has lately come
into possession of an inheritance which
yields large income, and he has decided

menced promptly. Father Mack is also
figuring on site for waterworks. and
thinks he may see his way clear to pro-
vide this enterprise also, as the two can
be run jointly in very economical way,
as Is now done at Hawesville and other
places.

elsewhere in this issue we give a
simp,e OF the testimony of Commisssry
General Eagan before the war investi-
CATION commission, which for unadul-
terated billiugsgate and bitterness, has
not a counterpart. Gen. Miles charged
that the canned beef sent TO the army
was unfit for use and that IL was sent
"dnder prctense OF experiment" re-
ferring to it as 'embalmed beef"
When Eagan went before the commits
sion to testify, he read type written
statement instead, in which the para
graph that we reproduce occurs and
which is but an index to the vitupera-
ton aud abuse heaped upon the rank
ing general of the army by subordi-
nate through several columns OF print
ed matter. The commission after let
ting him read the statement and Civ
ing it out to the press, returned II to
Eagan and told him to eliminate the
Objectionable matter as 1t was too un-
clean for the commissions records. So
far the president has taken no action
towards having Eagan court martialed,
which would indicate that he and Sec
rotary Alger were privy TO the dis
graceful attack on Miles. Eagan also
takes a crack at Inspector General |
Breckenridge. who only remarked |
when his opinion was asked of the mat
ter that army officers ought to be gen.
tlemen. That Eagan is not gentle
man and that he is disgrace and
menace to the discipline of the army,
Is too plain to admit OF discussion. The
incident will lower army officers in the
eyes of the world and unless rebuked
will have most damaging effect on
both the rank and file. The president
yves IL To them and the country Co see
hat the filthy scavenger is not only
licked out of the army, but otherwise

HART county juries seem to forget
that capital punishment alone fits GER

The liason was kept up for months and
when their shame could no longer be
concealed, The scoundrel proposed that
there be resort to abortion. A fiend
who was known as Prof. Mcclure was
secured for $50 to perform the opera
tion, which he did in the most bung-
ling manner with curling irons and as
a natural result the woman died, after
giving the name of her betrayer and
identifying the professor. The latter
tried to prove an alibi, but failing, was
permitted to continue his miserable eX-
istence by being sent 10 the penitentia-
ry for life. The preacher made a full
confession and he too was let Off with
life sentence. The courts having so
signally failed TO do their duty, Judge
Lynch might with great propriety be
