port of the Death of Gen. Chris
tion DeWet.

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. AT the
emhnrkation reunion of the Knights
of Columbus, held here, the principal
address was delivered by Rt. Rev.
James A. McFaul, bishop of Trenton,
Oh 1.-The Influence of Organization"
The bishop discussed at some length
the duties of Catholics in political af-
fairs, and urged them to- organize TO
the end that no American citizen
should "be Disseminated against SIM
ply because he is n Catholic, or because
he las favored Catholics, where there
was question of their rights as citi-
zens."
Bishop McFaul said he would not
take up the time of his hearers 10 enter
fully into the grievances Of Catholics,
but lie asked:
Can any man for a moment sup
pose that if we wer4 united, not as the
senseless American Protective associa-
ton, for the purpose CT preventing our
fellow countrymen from obtaining
their rights as citizens under the con-
stitutions of the states and the nation,
but in defense of these rights and for
the redress of gricvences-that we
would have been obliged TO listen 10
the heartrcnding tales of desecration
and pillage which have come to us
from the Philippines, or that several
representative Catholics would not
have been selected to investigate and
report upon affairs SO intimately con-
nccted with the welfare of the Catholic
religion in those ccunries over which
the flag of our country has recently
been unfurled?"
Continuing, the bishop said:
Among recent oUtragcs upon the
Catholic conscience is the civil mar
riage law in Cuba, whereby it is de-
clared that only civil marriages are
legal. The effect of this decree of
Gen. Brooke is to degrade marriage,
TO make it a mere civil contract, and
the religious celebration a mere cere-
mony without valu" in the eye of the
civil law. What possible necessity
could there be for departure in Cuba
from the law existing in the United
States, which recognizes the validity
Of the religious ceremony as regards
civil effects' This is simply another
example of the disregard of Catholic
rights. against which we should most
earnestly protest"
The speaker urged the justice Of
state appropriations for Catholic In
dian schools, and closed with an mp
peal fer more Catholic chaplaius in the
army and navy.

NEWS In KENTUCKY.
POWERS CASE CONTINUES.
Eight Witnesses Introduced by the
Defense, but Few Sensations
Were Revealed.

Georgetown, KY, Aug. 4.--Of eight
witnesses introduced by the defense
in the Powers case, all but one were
called for the purpose of attacking
the credibility of witnesses placed on
the stand by the prosecution. One of
these (former State Auditor Stone)
stated that Witness w. II. Culton, an
alleged co-conspirator of Powers, was
removed from a place of trust in his
Office because he defaulted in the sum
of $1,000. Other witnesses Presidents
of Grayson Springs, this state) testi-
fled that, instead of being in Frank
fort on January 30, the day of the
shooting of Senator Goebel, as he
claimed under oath to have been, Geo.
Weaver, prosecution witness, was in
their town organizing a lodge of
Woodmen of the World, and others
from Eastern Kentucky testified that
Witness Wharton Golden, of the pros
ccution, had displayed large roll of
money and intimated that it came
from the state reward fund.
Attorneys for the prosecution rigid
ly cross-eXamined these witnesses and
made one of them DANES Harkleroad.
of Barbourville) admit that he had
been indicted not less than a dozen
times for violations of law.
The most important witness of the
day was Daniel Il. Collier. of Lancas-
ter, adiutant general of Kentucky un-
der the Taylor administration. He Of
fered as testimony the written order
of Gov. Taylor directing him to bring
the regiments of state guards to
Frankfort after the shooting of Sem
ator Goebel and ordering him to con-
fer with the civil authorities of
Franklin county as to how best to
preserve peace there. This was the
first appearance of the document,
which was never made part of the
state records, and Judge Cantrill ruled
it out as incompetent on objection of
the prosecution that it was not in ac-
cordance with the statutes of the
state, not directing Collier to place
the militia under direction of the civil
authorities.
The case of Geo. F. Weaver. the
prosecution witness charged with per-
jury, was called in the county court
here and set for hearing on the 22d.
Weaver insists that he is innocent of
the charge.

which is said to be one of the best in
the country, was a new feature of edu-
cation in Georgia, and one that be-

was given in the manufacture of all
grades of cotton goods, in manual
training, chemistry, dyeing, designing
and engineering. The school has been
in operation about two years, and it is.

ninety-four living graduates all but
nine are employed in pursuits for
which they have been fitted by their
training at the school. They are me-
