FINEST IN The DIOCESE.
THE NEW PAROCHTAL RESIDENCE
OF THE CHURCH OF THE M
MACULATE CONCEPTION.
MANY OF ITS FURNISHINGS
Were Kindly Donated BY Societies
and IndividuaIs-Gne of the Rooms
Exclusively for the Bishops-An
Assistant Polish Priest VIII Soon
BE appointed for This Church.

The new parochfal residence for the
Church of the Immaculate Conception
on the South Side has received the in
terror and exterior finishing touches,
and is in every respect the finest struc
| ture for this particular purpose in the
Wheeling diocese. 1t was designed
especially to meet the wants and needs
OF this rapidly growing parish, and the
plans were largely according to the
ideas of the rector, the Rev. Father Jo-
seph Mullen. A tour through the home
reveals the fact that nothing is lack
ing that might tend in the least to
provide for comfort and convenience.
1t is a three-story brick building, oc-
cupying a site on Thirty-siXth street,
east of the church building, and is of
modern architectural design. On the
first floor are seven apartments-a
hall, parlor, library, dining room,
kitchen and servants sitting room.
There are five sleeping apartments,
linen room and bath room on the
second floor, and four sleeping apart
floor.
Many Of the furnishings for the
various apartments have been kindly
/ donated by individuals and societies
of the church. A complete outfit for
one of the front rooms on the second
floor was received from the Ladies
Ladislas Society. This apartment is
for a Polish priest, who will soon be
appointed to assist Rev. Father Mullen
in the work of the church st. Ladis-
las Society has also furnished one of
the guest chambers on the second
floor. There were other donations
from the Ladies Auxiliary of Mullen
division, A. o. H. They consisted of
the dining room furnishings, a large
clock and a couch for the library. The
gifts to the home from individuals
were reclining chair for the parlor
a desk and a table for the library and
a hall rack.
One of the side rooms on the second
floor is intended for the bishops while
they are guests of Father Mullen. Arch
bishop J. J. Kahn, Of st. Louis, who has
just departed for his home, spent a
week at the new residence. and had
the honor of being the first occupant
Of this room.
Father Mullen received yesterday
from the Sisters of St Joseph a well
developed likeness of Archbishop
Kahn. handsomely framed, and he has
decided to hang the picture in the
bishops room.
The home is lighted throughout by
electricity and heated by means of
an automatic heater, located in the
cellar.

OMAHA, Neb.. December 22.-There
were no new developments of interest
to-day in the kidnapping case of Ed
ward Cudahy, Jr, who was carried
away Tuesday night and held for $685.
600 ransom. The discovery of the
house in which the young man was
imprisoned, however, has also led to
other clews, which promise something
more definite IN the near future. From
those living in the vicinity of the
building the police have secured a good
description of the members of the
gang and their method of operation.
the time they left the city and the di-
rection they took. Mr.. Cudahy is TAX
ing personal account of all that is be-
ing done and watching keenly the de-
velopments. He will not talk of the
matter, however, beyond stating his
belief that the police have the matter
well in hand and will soon effect the
capture of some or all of the gang.
Chief of Police Donahue refused to-
Gay to say anything about the Cudahy
case further than that the discovery OF
the house where the boy is alleged to
have been confined is the first link in
the chain which will soon lead to the
capture of the aibductors.
I'VE are bound to get them in
short time" he said, 'fout to say what
method will be pursued or what steps
We are now taking will be to enbar-
rass the department. We have had too
much newspaper publicity altogether.
1t is true We have several alews which
we think are of great Importance, and
their discovery has melted the officers
detailed on dhe case to greater vigor.
We think now that we are near the
end"

At st. Petersburg Does Not Amount to
Much, as Those Interested Are Di-
vfded.
Correspondence of the Associated PressD
ST. PETERSBURG. December To-
(Monday.)-As was foretold in previous
dispatches from this city. an attempt of
one of the local theaters to launch an
anti-Semitic play has resulted in a stu
dent agitation. The authorities did not
rest idle after the public meeting of stu
dents Saturday. Under a decree of two
years ago. when the last great student
movement alarmed the government. the
ministry called together a sort of special
emergency court, under the presidency
rector at the university last evening.
Twenty or thirty leaders in the meeting
of Saturday We're summoned and heard.
Their student cards were taken from
them, or, in other words, they were sus-
pended from the university temporarily
dozen students met secretly yesterday
and decided, in the name of the secret
organization which they represent to call
q student mass meeting for to-day at
noon This meeting was held upon the
university premises and was better at
tended and livelier than the one held with
an attendance of 400 persons to adopt the
resolutions against everybody connected
with the attempt to put the anti-Semitic
play through IT'S first performance. 1t is
not believed the present movement will
attain the proportions of the agitation of
1898. The Jewish students, anticipating
that it will raise the Semitic question, are
refraining from taking part The stu
dents are squarely split on this question.
which is a guarantee enough that the
present agitation there will not reign
that unanimity characteristic of the last.
There may even be a counter movement
set on foot To speak of the agitation
having any result would be idle, since
the students have no definite aims or
plans.

Reaches a Climax in the Big Throngs
at Shelf Bros, Drawn by the Great
Discount Sale.
Following the crowd simply means
following the large majority who know
where the best is to be had. The ma
jority are nearly all right and this
year the majority have placed their
stamp of approval on Shelf Bros great
discount sale in the most decided man
ner possible. All day yesterday the
store of Shelf Bros. presented scene
of activity and animation never sur
passed in Wheeling, which eliminated
last night in crush after crush, which
necessitated closing the doors repeated
eddy. 1T is by far the largest days
business we have ever DONE" said
member of the firm last night. with
a largely increased force of clerks we
have simply been taxed to the utmost
to handle the trade, and we expect
Monday to be as big if not bigger
day"
The 20 per cent discount sale of Shelf
Bros. has brought absolutely reliable
jewelry, fine watches, silverware and
bric-a- brac closer to manufacturers
prices than they have ever before sold
in Wheeling. The splendid value OF
the bargains given has convinced all
buyers. The more carefully they COM
pare articles and prices with those OF
other stores, the better they like Shelf
Bros, and that is the entire secret OF
this enormous holiday trade. Only one
more day, of Christmas buying re-
mains and Shelf Bros. express their
earnest wish that their old friends and
customers will call as early as possible
Monday as it affords them better OPP
portunity to attend to the wants of all.

Painfully Burned.


George RalstOn. the popular Han
over street druggist. was painfully
burned yesterday from a gas explosion,
but. it might be said escaped luckily,
as it is a wonder that he was not in
jured seriously. At about 1890 o'clock
he went home to his residence in South
Fourth street for his dinner. and
thought he would look at the furnace
in the cellar, having turned the gas
down low in the morning. The cellar
being dark, Mr.. RalstOn struck a match
when near the furnace door. and then
the explosion occurred, knocking him
down and painfully burning one side
Of his face and neck. The explosion
was so great that the whole house was
Jared and the windows ratified. M.
Ralston was picked up and carried up
stairs, where ne soon recovered. DR..
OIg was called and dressed his burns.
The cause Of the explosion was that
the gas had been turned low and later
the gas went out and then came on
again, and Mr.. Ralst0n. not knowing
this, struck the match 1t is not
thought his face will be d!sfgured and
it is hoped he will be able to be out in
a few days.

.CLARK'S FOES CONVENE


Butte. Mont, Oct. 2.-Nineteen of
the twenty-four counties of Montana
were represented in the independent
Democratic or DAILY state convention
which met here today.
The convention was the outgrowth Of
the bolt at Helena during the Demo-
cratic convention which the Clark peo-
pie controlled Governor Robert b
Smith was both temporary and per-
manent chairman. His remarks We're
devoted to the national issues dividing
the two parties and to attacking SEN
atOr Clark
Upon local issues the platform en-
dorses the present state administration
except the lieutenant governor, who is
denounced for appointing a United
States senator during the governor 5
absence from the state. Congressman
Campbell was also endorsed for the
part he took in the fight against the
seating of Senator Clark.
The presidential electors named by
the Democratic convention were en-
