ward Found on River Shore.
The immense Mosler & Bahman
safe in the office of Secretary I. j..
Medill, of the Black Hawk Building
and Loan association. on the second
floor of Bengston block, Seventeenth
street and Second avenue, was blown
open and burglarized between 1915
and 30 today, while Mr.. Medill and
his assistant were at dinner.
An iron box with small door at
tached and fitting inside the inner
main doors was taken away by the
burglars. This box contained $50
in money, and diamonds belonging
Miss Kinner, the assistant in the
office, and her family, valued in the
the aggregate at $500 and also
papers which, while important, will
prove of no use to the holder.
How the burglary Was Accomplished.
Mr.. Medill closed and locked his
Office to 90 to dinner at the Rock Isl
and house at 1915 o'clock. He re-
turned at 1:2O, and, unlocking the
office, the crime that had been COM
mitted in his absense startlingly pre-
sented itself to him. Both the outer
and the inner doors of the safe, which
stood in the northeast corner of the
room, were blown open. The strong
box in the inner + eceptacle for safe
keeping of valuables was gone. 1t
had been wrenched from its place and
taken.
y hasty glance around the room TO
ascertain how the burglars had gain
ed entrance to he room, was rewarded
which was closed this morning, was
open, while the fact that the dust had
been removed from.the transom frame
showed that the intruders had enter
ed that way. Mr.. Medill as quickly
as possible notified the authorities,
and Locksmith Fiebig was also sum
moncd.
Nitro-GIyccrine Used.
On examination Of the safe Mr. Ffc-
biz pronounced the work that of pro-
fessionals, and pointed out the evil
dence that nitro-gly ycerine had
been used. No one in the block seems )
to have been disturbed by any unu-
sual noise during the noon hour, and
as this is the hour of the day when
most of the offices are empty, Mr..
Medill is of the opinion that the
cracksmen picked this as the most
opportune time for the accomplish
ment of the crime. Mr.. MediIl thinks
the men concealed themselves in the
third story and kept track of his
movements from this point of van
tage.
The Box is Recovered.
The iron box taken from the safe
was found at o'clock this afternoon
by boys on the river shore at the foot
of Eleventh street, :he cracksmen
having evidently intended throwing
it in the river. There was S29. .26 in

CANNOT APPROVE AMERICAN
From the foregoing it is manifest, be-
loved son, that we are not able to give
approval to those views which, in the COL
lective sense, are called by some
"Americanism." But ii by this name are
to be understood certain endowments OF
mind which belong to the American peo
pie, just as other characteristics belong
to various other nations, and if, more
over, by it is designated your political
condition and laws and customs, by which
you are governed, there is no reason to
take exception to the name But if by
this it is to be understood that the doc
trines which have been adverted to above
are not only indicated but exalted there
can be no manner OF doubt that our ven
cradle brethren, the bishops of America.
would be the first to repudiatc and con-
denim it as being most injurious to them
selves and to their country For it would
give rise to the suspicion that there are
among you some who conceive and would
have the church in America to be differ
ent from what it is in the rest OF the
world.
But the true church is one as by unity
OF doctrine, so by unity of government,
and she is catholic also. Since God has
placed the foundation OF unity of this
church on blessed Peter. it is rightly
called the Roman church, for where Peter
is there is the church. Wherefore, if
anybody wishes to be considered real
Catholic he ought to be able to say from
his heart the sclisamc words which
Jerome addressed to Pope Damascus: II,
acknowledging no other leader than
Christ, am bound in fellowship with your
holiness; that is, with the church OF
Peter. | know that the church was built
upon him as its rock. and that whose
ever gathereth not with you scattereth."
We have thought it fitting, beloved
son, in view OF your high office, that this
letter should be addressed specially to
you. 1t will also be Our care to see that
copies are sent to the bishops of the
United States, testifying again that love
by which we embrace your whole coun-
try-a country which in past times has
done so much for the cause OF religion.

tinuc to do still greater things. To you
and to all the faithful of America we
grant most lovingly, as pledge OF d.
vine assistance. our apostolic benediction.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.
He Endorses the Papal Letter In Every
Particular.

Rome, Feb. 24.-The Observatore Ro-
mano to-day publishes the text of let
ter from Archbishop ireland to the pope.
regarding the pontiff's letter to Cardi-
nal Gibbons on "Amercanism." The
archbishop thanks the pope for this proof
OF his esteem and love for American
Catholics, and says that now that the
pope has shed light on the situation, mis-
understanding will cease, "for we are now
able to determine the fault which some
desire to coneal under the name of
Americanism and define true American
ism. such as understood by Americans"
Continuing. the archbishop says: THE
distinctions and explanations contained in
the apostolic letter are so clear and pre-
else that the peril which was not under
stood by all of the people of the United
States, but which thought was to be
feared, can no longer present itself. In
view of the extraordinary confusion of
ideas and controversies raised, especially
i'll France, by THE Life of Father
Hcckcr, there was need for the supreme
pontiff to make his voice heard in order
to enlighten and tranquilize the peoples
minds.
with all the energy of my soul, I re-
pudiate all the opinions the apostolic let
ter rcpudiates. and condemn, those false
and dangerous opinions whereto his holi-
ness, in brief. says certain people give

more promptitude and joy, inasmuch as
my Catholic faith and my comprehension
of the teachings and practices of the
church have not permitted me to enter
tain such extravagances. The whole
episcopatc OF the United States, in their
own name and in the name OF their focks,
are ready to rcpudiate and condemn them.
We cannot but be indignant that such
wrong is done us, Our bishops, our faith
full and our nation as to designate, by
the name of Americanism, such errors
and extravaganccs.
Most Holy Father, they are enemies
OF the church in America and false in

that the Holy Spirit pours everywhere

without human intervention He teaches
and guides them by some hidden instinct
OF His own. Yet it is the sign OF no

SCRIPTURE TEACHINGS.

Finally, not to delay too long, it is
stated that the way and method hitherto
in use among Catholics for bringing back
those who have fallen away from the
church should be left aside and another
one chosen. i'll which matter it will SUI
ticc to note that it is not the part of pru-
dence to neglect that which antiquity in
its long experience has approved, and
which is also taught by apostolic author
ity The Scriptures teach us that it is the
duty OF all to be solicitous for the saliva
ton OF ones ncighbor according to the
power and exposition OF each. The
faithful do this by religiously dscharg-
ing the duties of their state OF life, by the
uprigltncss OF their conduct. BY their
works OF Christian charity and by earn
est and continuous prayer to God. On
the other hand those who belong to the
clergy should do this by all enlightened
tulhllment OF their preaching ministry, by
the pomp and splcndor OF ceremonies,
especially by setting forth that sound
form of doctrine which ST Paul incul-
Gated upon Titus and Timothy
But. ii among the different views OF
preaching the Word of God that one
sometimes seems to be preferable which
is directed to non-Catholics not in
churches, but in some suitable place. in
such wise that controversy is not sought.
but friendly conference ior such method
is certainly without fault But let those
who undertake such ministry be set apart
by the authority OF the bishops and lc,
them be men whose science and virtue
has been previously ascertained. For we
think there are many in your country who

who differ. There is nothing closer to
our heart than to have those who are
separated from the fold OF Christ return
to it, but in no other way than the way
pointed out by Christ
