He Has Forwarded His Resignation
to Rome.

Washington, Nov. LIT is learned at
the papal legation that by reason of in
firm health, DR.. Alexander MacGavick,
the coadjutor bishop of Chicago, has
sent his resignation to Rome. This will
necessitate the appointment of another
assistant prelate in that archdiocese as
its incumbent, Archbishop Feehan, is
also suffering from chronic illness. Since
his accession to the ranks Of the hier-
archy, four years ago, Bishop ATacGavick
has done considerable missionary work
at Chicago. His resignation causes an
other vacancy in the American epiSco-
pate as the See of Portland, Me- which
lost its bishop. DR.. James A. Healy,
three months ago, still awaits an incum-
bent. 1t is said that the Roman author
flies will probably fill this latter vacancy
at the approaching papal consistOry.

MIR. MAXIMs HAND.

"I read with more than ordinary in- terest your recent interview with HGd- son Maxim, the inventor of smokeless powder" remarked New York mer- chant. One reason why IL was inter estlEg to me was because of an un- usual incident which was the means oi my becoming acquainted with Mir. Maxim.
 The inventor. you know. has but one hand. the other having been blown of while he was experimenting with some high explosive. The first time ever saw Mir. Maxim was one night on an elevated railroad train. He was a stranger to me st that time. and my attention was attracted to him by the actions of a half drunken hurly ruflian, Nho sat in the cross seat opposite and persisted tn annoying him In one way and another. 4 quietpnotest from the stranger brought a torrent of vile lam gusge from the ruffian. accompanied by a hostile demonstration and and pro fane threat to punch his head The stranger paid as little attention 10 the outrage ss possible and kept on read ing his newspaper. noticed that the stranger had an artificial left hand. which was gloved and looked very much like the other one. When he got up to leave the ear at his station the ruffian jeered st him. and getting up from his seat followed him out. it wasn't my station. but feeling almost cerrain that the stranger would need some protection. followed them out of the car. The stranger went down the stairs first. the ruffian a few steps be hind him. grumbling all the way. and | next When the stranger reached the bottom of the stair he stepped out to the middle of the sidewalk. apparently making room for the ruffian to pass him. Instead Of accepting the opportu- nity 10 so his way. he made directly for the stranger. who sent out a good right handler. which caught the scoundrel on the point of the jaw and knocked hlm clean across the curb and landed him all in a heap in the gutter. where he lay quivering like a beef hit with an ax. A grewsome part of the midnight incident was that as the stranger landed his knockout blow his artificial hand be- came detached and fell to the pavement with a chatter. 1 confess that l was s little startled at this. and before could recover myself he had picked up his artificial hand. put it under his arm and walked off Although he had dem onstrated his ability to take care of himself up to that time. I did not know but he would need me as a witness later. and overtaking him. gave him my card He gave me his In return.
 n N-.a. aa the card did I know that the stranger who had 90 handsomely protected him. self against a rufilan was Hudson Maxim. Since then we have become very good friends. and have often won- dered what sort of an account of the affair the police got from the man we left at the foot of the stairs. New York Commercial

President Mckinley and Senator Scott of West Virginia, both Ohio boys. were m the same regiment in the army of the civil war. They cast their first votes for Lincoln in 1884. Il shall never forget that first vote" said Senator Scott to friends around him at the Wal ton. Some of the ballots were cast in- to soap boxes. some into candle boxes. or any old receptacle. There was no Australian ballot law there. I remem- ber a conversation l had at that time with Mckinley. He spoke of study of the law. and sPeculated in regard to his future IL was special wonder with him whether he could reach a position which would bring him influence enough to elect him a probate judge in his native county"
