The Rev. Newell Dwight Hills,
d. D., pastor OF Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, has become contrib
utor to the Ladies' Home Journal,
and number OF articles from his
pen will appear in that magazine
during the year. He is introduced
to the Journal readers through his
article, 1.-The Secrets OF Happy
Life" in the May issue, which
shows him to be most forceful
writer whose present essay one
cannot read without getting bet
ter and more wholesome view of
life. The worst antagonism to a
happy life, Doctor Hills believes,
is pessimistic literature, "for un-
happy indeed must be the com
munity that feeds upon misery and
daily takes its dose OF pessimism. +"

M'KENNA STILL ALIVE.
No Hope of His Recovery, However,
Is ertained-Inquest Begun
in the Rafferty, Case.

Thomas McKenna, the Old Forge
police officer, who was wounded by
Watchman Thomas Ludden, was alive
at midnight, but rapidly growing
weaker. His attending physician, DR..
]. J. Timlin, thought he might linger
for some time, but feared 1t would not
be many hours before he must sue
cumb.
Coroner Roberts went to Old Forge
yesterday and performed an autopsy
on the remains of officer Patrick Raf-
ferty. He found that two bullets en-
tered the body. One went between the
third and fourth ribs on the right side
and punctured the lung. The hem
morhage resulting from this caused
death The other bullet passed through
the fleshy part of the\right arm in a
line towards the heart, but after en-
tering the body was DETECTED by strik-
ing a rib and taking a downward
course passed out of the body again.

mony has not as yet been fixed.
Ludden is improving, both physically
and mentally. 1t is not quite certain
that he is not seriously injured and
that his mental arrangement is not

SECRET SOCIETIES IN FRANCE
Rev. D. ]. MacGoldrick's Second
Paper Before the Newman Club.

At the Newman Magazine club last
night the paper read was by Rev. D.
j. MacGoldrick. on the subject. "The
Work of Secret Societies in France
During the Last Thirty Years" He
explained the choice of title for his
paper by the fact that in the paper
on the Dreyfus trial some weeks ago
he made more than merely casual ref
erence to the work of the secret socie-
ties in France, and so he took this
opportunity to show what he meant by
this expression.
He said that by the work of, secret
societies in France he meant the laws
forged by the secret societies in their
lodges and lobbied through the houses
of legislature by their emissares
These laws were directed against the
exercise of religion in the army, in
the public offices of civil life, in the
schools and wherever legislation could
attack the influence of the Catholic
clergy and the teaching of the Catho-
lie church.
In illustration of this disposition on
the part of the secret societies he re-
cited long list of enactments from
1870 to 1892 which he averred were di-
rect attacks on the Catholic church
and the religious orders. He also made
a number of statements tendn" to
show that the present conditions Of
Catholic life in France are almost as
intOlerable as during the Reign of Ter
ror, or as We're the conditions of the
Catholics in Ireland during the seven
teenth and eighteenth century.
The reverend speaker frequently re-
ferred authoritatively to documents,
from which he quoted directly, and on
this point of quoting from authorities
he said: What I state as fact is so
to the last syllable; my deductions are
my own, but yet so drawn that the
contradictory cannot be true. A pub
lie teacher ought to be constantly un-
der the influence of a right conscience,
and student of history ought to have
sufficient self-respect to prevent his
asserting as of knowledge more than
he really knew"
lie said 1t was source of exquisite
pleasure to him to find a friend refer
in the public press to statements made
in the paper on the Dreyfus trial in
almost these very words, with this diff
ference, he added, that the idea as
expressed by his critical friend had
''all the charm of eplgram."
A reception followed the literary ex-
erclses. Miss Anna Scanlon enter
tained with o contralto solo and dane
ing was enjoyed to music by Bauer's
orchestra.

Two eminent young Japanese, X.
Takeda, of Rikuchn, and T. Tsuno, of
Toxic, or "Tokye" as they spell it, are
at the Jermyn, being en- route around
the world on an educational and COM
mercial tour.
Both are graduates of the Toxic uni
versity, and that they received a pretty
good article of learning in that insti-
tuition can be guessed when it is stated
that they speak not only correct but
elegant English, ,pronouncing like a
native, and even going to the extent
of correctly applying idioms, praoti-
cally all of which was taught them in
their Japanese school, for they were
never beyond the shores of Japan until
ninety days ago. and a good part of
those ninety days they have been on
the go. "By no means is an express
sion that came unhesitatingly from

eous appliances" was one of the phras-
es the reporter recalls having heard
Mr. Takeda use.
