Poison in . wedding Dinner.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Nearly q hundred
guests who assembled at No. $50 Canal
street to witness the marriage Of Nor
ris Pollack and Annie Schan were pol
ooned at the wedding dinner. In less
than half an hour nearly every one In
the hall was in helpless condition.
The general belief Is that the chicken,
which had been prepared in a copper
kettle, contained the poison. So far
no deaths have been reported, but
many are seriously Ill, including the
bride and groom.

develOpm n OF 'o'OsS'
the free lunch that is not found in
every town. It has been but few
years since the really swell saloons,
as saloons 60, offered no other at
fractions to the drinking public than
q small dish of cloves with which to
disguise the breath, and small dish
of cheese with which to temper the
appetite.
To-day the dish of. cloves is still
there, for it is quite as necessary to
disguise the breath now as it was in
days gone: by; bat the. dish of cheese
has given place to a lunch of elab-
crate proportions, and oftentimes
served in an elaborate manner.
TWAS all a matter of competition;
the saloons have not as yet been con-
solidated into gigantic liquor-sell-
ing trust, and each is still bidding for
individual trade. First one saloon pro-
prietor, more progressive than his
competitors, discarded the dish of
cheese, and in its place put a small
sandwich, then his next-door neigh
Dor added another feature, and in that
way the free lunch has grown until
to-day it represents full meal, with
al the variety of first-class res
taurant. 1t Is served by .colored wait
ers on attractive little tables, and
comes in on clean plates directly of
the fire. Some saloons have even gone
SO far as TO- serve . course luncheon
at the noon hour, ranging AL the way
from Soup 10 ideSsert. but that is the
exception rather than the rule.

brother say to his Sunday-school class
that the Catholics did not worship
the Lord, but Frustrated themselves
before the carved idols of so-called
saints. I wonder if such bigoted
creatures are still permitted to teach
inquiring boys and girls? If SO, I
want to correct them. The Catholics
do not worship the saints; they ven-
crate and adore them. They do not
pray to them for spiritual guidance
and other favors; they implore them
to intercede. for them with God, 70
that He may grant their petitions.
The veneration of saints the Catholic
church has always declared to be
agreeable to God; and it's priests COM
mand their people to honor those
servants of the Lord who are crowned
with glory in Heaven. To desire the
prayers of the saints they declare
to be no less consistent with Chris
tan piety than to ask the prayers
of the faithful on earth. The Vir-
gin Mary is looked upon as the great
and universal mediatrix with Christ
and it is she who il supposed to
render human prayers agreeable to
Him and second them with her all
powerful intercession. By tradition
and custom the rule has been estab-
lished that states, provinces and con-
gregations shall select q patron
saint; and the saint so chosen is ex-
pected to hear the prayers of the
communities whose burdens have been
laid upon him or her.
st. Anne has always been considered
one of the most potent and patient of
mediators. According to Catholic ira
dition she was the mother of the
Virgin Mary, and both Nazareth and
the little town of Sephoris at the
