patrol wagon to the City Prison.
She spent the night behind bars. and
at frequent intervals announced her
intention of bringing suit against ey-
cry official in the police department for
their thoughtless encroachment upon
her dignity.

me through the streets in a police wag-
on will cost this city some money" de-
clared the prisoner.
When arraigned Friday morning, she
at first pleaded mot guilty" but later
changed her plea to guilty"
AS the prisoner has been in Police

Which Made False Charge
Against the Beers
And Then Flaily Refused to
Correct the Error.
Same Charge Of Bigotry Would Apply
to New Hampshire.

When Rev. DIR. 7. Il. Mahar, Of st.
Vincents church, met a Democrat rc-
porter Thursday he called attention to
the Beacon's charge that the Akron
Catholic ministers who spoke at the
Boer mass meeting at the Grand n
week ago did not tell their hearers
that the liberty loving people for whom
they SO eloquently pleaded, exclude
those who profess their faith not only
from holding office and taking part in
the government of the Transvaal Re
public, but from many other privileges
of citizenship"
Commenting ON this article, DR.. Ma
har said:
In the first place the question of ex-
Guiding Catholics from Office is dead
letter
Does the Beacon Journal not know
that DR.. Leyds, who is practically the
only foreign commissioner the Trans
wal Republic has, is a Catholic? He
is also an Irishman.
while it is true that almost fur
fifths of the population in the Trans
yaal are Lutbcrans, yet a large proper
tion Of the Catholics arc holding Office
and high Office, too.
This very same charge which the
Beacon Journal makes was printed in
the New York Times three weeks ago.
The Times also refused to print doe
umentary statement in refutation of its
charges Of bigotry in the Transvaal
Republic.
"All the American colonies, at the
time the Dcclarati of independence
was adopted, agitated the question of
excluding Catholics from holding Of
flee, but the measure became dead
letter.
"But, if this bigotry did prevail OH
the part of the Transvaal Republic, the
same might be said of New Hamp-
shire, which state, unless the constl-
tuition has been amended,also excludes
Catholics from holding office.
This particular feature in the cry
of bigotry in the Transvaal is not CON
sistent. Indications are that the oppo-
sitiOn to expression of Bocr sentiment
by Americans is merely ON the part of
the Administration in Justification of
its own policy i'll the Philippines"
Speaking to the same purpose, Presi-
dent Van Hoesen who presided at New
York's Pro-Boer mass meeting last
Tuesday, at which $1,000 were raised
for the relief OF the widows and or
phans of BOer soldiers, said we quote
from the New York Sunl:
EVERY one knows that the question
of the franchise in the Trnnsvanl is
merely an empty preteXt Kruger went
as far as man can 20 in the way of
conciliation, but Chamberlain wanted
nothing but the annexation of the
Transvaal to England. They speak of
the intolerance Of the Transvaal to-
ward those of the Catholic and Jewish

Within short time $4,000 will
have to be procured to put into the
telephone conduits cable for the fire

done next spring. The $4,000 estimate
was made year ago, but since then
the price of copper wire has been
greatly increased, and the cost of put
