"HIGHER" THAN THEY LIKED
Rev. p. Gavan Duffy, Rector Of st. Georges
Episcopal Church in Kansas City,
0ispleases His Congregation.

Kansas City, No., May 4.-Rcv ?.
Gavan Duffy has resigned his charge as
rector of st. Georges pro-cathedral,
Linwood and Troost avenues, this city,
and Bishop Z. R. Atwill will supply
the pulpit until fall, when call will
be extended to regular minister. The
differences which led to Rev. Dutfy's
resignation are said to be due to
his extreme leaning toward the
Catholic church, which became so
pronounced that number Of
Roman Catholics have been taken
into st. Georges church. The views
OF the rector and the congregation
gradually became farther and farther
apart. The climax was reached when
the candles were lit On Easter Sunday,
a ceremony which was little higher"
than the congregation thought COM
patible with the ecclesiastical status Of
the church. Mr. Duffy resigned vol
unfairly and his resignation was ac-
cepted at once.

UNWELcoME VISITOR.
A Clinton Young Lady Awakened by a
Stranger in Her Room.

- Oiinton young Lazy HWakenS0 ny
Stranger in Her Room.
Miss Emma Nelson, pretty clerk
employed by George a. Whitney, deal
er in ice cream, had thrilling expe-
rience this morning, which she hopes
may not soon be repeated. Miss Nell
sdn rooms with Mrs. S. NJ. Savage, her
sister, at 80 Pearl street. She was
awakened at 1.S0 o'clock by the noise
of door being cautiously opened. A
preached the bed, walking on tiptoes.
The young woman aroused the house
hold with her screaming. The man
turned and fled. He knew the way
well, apparently, for he made straight
for the cellar and escaped by a cellar
window.
He made a great noise escaping, and
awoke Mr.. Savage, who gave futile
chase.
An examination disclosed a window
open over the coal bin in the cellar.
Several burnt matches lay upon the
cellar floor. Nothing was missing
from the house, apparently.
The strangest part of the story is
that the house is supposed to have been
entered on several other occasions, but
when all the members of the family
have been absent Miss Nelson has
missed small sums Of money from her
room, Once some money was taken
from a child's bank. On another oc-
casion some of the window screens were
found disturbed. The police will look
into the case.
