NEW YORK, July "a woman who
with almost her last breath. held to the
story that she was the eldest daughter of

German hospital victim of the heat and
of insufficient nutriment. Through the
charity of a doctor who believed her story
implicitly and who learned Of her demise,
her body will not be buried in Potters
field, but it will be buried this afternoon
in Calvary cemetery.
The woman, who was known Sophia
Adelaide, and Mrs Kent, always insisted
that as an infant she was taken from her
royal mother and in her place was substi-
his morganatic wife, the Countess de
Reuss. Up TO the time, it Is said, of her

laide, received remittances in Paris or
wherever she might be. through tie Rev.
Ward Bowie. of Coles HILL England.
Wen these remittances stopped and she
inquired into the cause, she found that Mr..
Bowie was dead and that thenceforth her
remittances were paid to her by John
Brown himself, 1t is said.
At his death they ceased altogether. She
made several Intellectual attempts to OBJ
tain I settlement, and when these failed
she came to this country and brought out
a book. which, 1t Is said. had been sup
pressed in England and Germany. 1t con-
tanned her contentious.

Trouble was caused in several In
stances last week over the enforcement
by the union carpenters OF their deter
mination not to work with non-union
employees In two or more cases con-
tractors refused to discharge their nom
union men, and the union carpenters
quit work. Several small contractors
urged their non-union men to join the
organization. The situation Ia unfor-
tunate. on account Of the great amount
of building which is in progress In the
city and vicinity.
A well known contractor said to Z
Register man yesterday:
"There Is no reason why carpenters
union could not exist In a city like
wheeling. where all other trades are
organized. The only trouble / see, Is
that some lead others into trouble for
their own personal interest. know n
one case where small contractor Is Al
agitator in the union, so mill men mere
are compelled to ask high price, ana
he is enabled to go to Ohio and buy
cheap mill work that has been shipped
from, the west where unions are not
known, and boys and girls are en-
rloycd.
~ know another case where they
would not accept an application from
a carpenter, because ne worked IN
steel mill and lost his position through
speaking favorably OF the Amalgama-
ton. In another case mans appiica-
ton was laid on the table because he
carried a bod for one day, when a hod
carrier could not be found, and men
we're offered SO per day to carry the
hod.
Now. while favor unions, l 40. NOV
favor them showing how unaccommo-
dating they will be; and am opposed
to a. union being run by committee OF
contractors and boys from the country
that have only been eighteen months IN
the city; and above all, | am opposed
to them letting the colored population
dictate to them"

C0NDEMNAT0RY LETTER

Written by the Pope-Action of
French Government Denounced.
ROME, July 6.-The Pope sent a let
ter to the superiors and generals of
the religious orders and institutions,
condemning the French exceptional
legislation against the congregations
The letter says His Holiness Is much
afflicted at the gravity of the offenses
recently committed by some nations
against the religious orders and insti-
tutions. The church has thus not only
beeen deeply injured In its rights, but
its power of action has been impaired.
de who touches the priests or monks
touches the apple of the church's eye.
The Pope severely reproves the recent
enactment of these laws by country to-
wards which the Pope has exhibited
particular solicitude. His Holiness de-
sires to comfort these orders and in
situations that are suffering from the
hatred of others towards the church.
He urges them to redoubIe their ardor,
faith, prayer and good works: to imi-
tate the examples of the beioved foun-
ders OF their orders and to repeat with
Christ the sublime words Father, for
give them"
The letter concludes:
Console yourselves In God. The Pope
and the whole Catholic world are with
you.~

Hopkins, son of the president OF the
womens college in Baltimore. and
relative of the benefactor of John Hop
kins University, had fought duel with
Henri d'Estournel. disabling his oppo-
nent by a wound in the sword arm, has
satisfied the inquiries that the story Is
quite unfounded. Nothing is publish
ed regarding such an affair, and moth
ing is known of it by the police or in
other competent quarters. Henri d'Es-

ing the presidential party arrived here
at 1915 this morning. Mrs. Mckinley

days past servants have been busily en-
gagged in preparing the house for the
comfort of the President and Mrs. Nc.

II was said by members OF the Pres
ident's party that Mrs Mckinley had
stood the trip exceedingly well and
that her condition continued favorable.
Mrs. Mckinley seemed to be none the
worse for the trip from Washington. 1t
was said by members OF the party that
she stood the journey remarkably well.
| Mrs. Mckinley is gradually improving
from day to day and is slowly regaining
| her strength. IL is hoped that she will be
| greatly benefited by the rest and quiet in

| This was the answer to n question re-
rarding her condition given at the house
| soon after her arrival.
After resting this afternoon Mrs. Mc1<in-
