rector of Washington university; Bishop
Lenahan, of Cheyenne; DIR. John Car
roll, president Of st. Joseph's college,
Dubuque and Monsignor Ryan, of
Philadelphia, are mentioned.
Archbishop John Hennessy was rec
ognized as one of the greatest orators
the most profound theologians in the
Catholic hierarchy, and because of his
zeal in educational matters has been
named "the apostle of the American
Catholic parOchial school,"
His latest work in the cause of educa-
ton was the founding of a seminary
here designed to be one of the largest
in the country. Since he first came to
Dubuque, Archbishop Hennessy has
seen the Catholic church in Iowa in
crease from membership of a few hun
dred to a quarter million.
Archbishop Hennessy was born in

of dogmatic history at Carondelet and
became president in 1857. The next
year he went to Rome as representative

BIBLES USED TO SWINDLE.
Many Orders Received by Man Adj
vertising "The King of Books"


Auburn, Ind, March 5.-Many persons
in this vicinity have been victimized by
circulars sent out by Robert Watts of
Lewannee county, Mich, advertising
The King of Books" The circular has
gone to saloons and all kinds of ques-
tionable resorts in the United States.
The books cost 81 each and cash must
accompany the order. A leading para
graph of Watts circular is calculated
to make the hasty readers believe the
book is of the sort prohibited from cir
culation by law. When he receives an
order for THE King of Books he sends
to the purchaser a cheap edition of. the
Bible
Watts has received orders from sa-
loon keepers and others from New York
to San Francisco. Many angry replies
are received from men who supposed
they were buying a vile book, and one
man in an Ohio town has threatened
suit. Watts has consulted an attorney
and the law has been looked up. The
attorneys opinion is that he is not IL
able.
One minister from a PENNSYLVANIA
town wrote for one of the books and got
it. He has not been heard from. The
Good Government league got hold of
one of the circulars and commenced an
investigation. When it found out what
Watts was doing it dropped the matter
and told him to go ahead.

METHODISTS ALARMED.
Statistics For the Past Year Show a
Decreased Membership.

Minneapolis. Mimi. March 5.-The
membership of the Methodist church is
less than it was two years ago and this
fact has greatly exercised the bishops
of that denomination. How to revive
interest in the church is a question
which the representative clergymen
have given earnest consideration. To
bring the matter directly before the
people a committee composed of Bish-
ops c. H. Fowler, W. X. Ninde and I.
W. joyce. acting on behalf of the body
of bishops, has issued an address to the
church. The conditions are carefully
outlined and week of prayer arranged.
This will begin March 25 and daily ser
vices are to be held in all Methodist
churches in the country
The address says in part:
To-day our Methodism confronts
serious situation. Our statistics for the
last year show decrease in the number
of our members. The lost ground is
paved with the dead. We are surround
ed by powerful enemies. The attack
is on every side. 1t is high time for ev-
cry Methodist to betake himself or
herself to prayer and to call nightly on
God for help"
