HATLESS WOMEN BARRED.
Trenton Bishop Announces That
Ladies Must Wear Bonnets.

REPC CBL1C SPECIAL.
New York. Aug 19-"Eyery woman who
attends service at the Cathedral must Wear
n hat or a bonnet announced Bishop Nc
Faul of the Roman Catholic Cathedral at
Trenton, n. j., to-day, and fifty women
who were present without any head cover
Ing were overwhelmed with confusion.
The custom Of going to church bareheaded
originated in Hackensack, n. ]. The fashion
percolated slowly, and it was not until two
weeks ago that the hatless woman was seen
at Trenton. Bishop McFaul was indignant
AT to-day's service he spoke from the pulpit
as follows:
II am not pleased at this Women must
come to the Cathedral wearing either hats
or bonnets. That rule is imperative. l will
permit no deviation from it."
After the services one of the hatless wom-
en- called upon an assistant priest and tried
to argue the matter, but he said:
1T was law of the ancient Jews to
shave the locks from the head of a woman
convicted of certain kinds of crime, and St
Paul likens the woman who enters church
without covering to one Of those shorn
criminals"
But we are not ancient Jews and we
have not been convicted of crime'' argued
the woman.
That matters not" the priest replied
''St Paul says:
Every woman praying or singing
psalms not covered disgraceth her head, for
she is all one as If she were shorn'"
The hatless women will make another ef-
fort to get themselves approved of but the
Bishop declares that he will never change
his point of view.

The amount Of $4,000. which was in bills
Of large denomination, was shipped Friday
morning by the bank through the express
company over the Burlington road. Its
destination was Burlington. Ia, and 1t was
drawn to the account of the railroad COM

president and treasurer.
Somewhere between Chicago and Burling-
ton the package containing the money was
opened. the currency distracted, some folds
of brown paper substituted. and the parcel
