that he was very loath to say anything
of the man. He stated that anything
that had been said in the confessional
was inviolate, and that of course he
could not divulge it He said that in
asmuch as there were hundreds of ig-
norant men who mistoOk CZOlgOSz'S
odious notoriety for fame, the more the
man was advertised the more harm it
would do, to lead the rest to follow his
example.
Regarding Czolgosz's moral or re-
ligious status Father Szardinski would
not say a word. He positively refused
to state whether his religious advice
had been sought by Czolgosz or whether
it had been offered to him unsolicited.
He was equally uncommunicative re-
garding the matter in which Czolgosz
received that advice. Father Szard-
inski was asked if he did not think
that the approaching death of the
assassin had induced him to consider
the future, but he refused to reply to
this question.
Three priests, Father Letocka, Father
Szulza and Father Stadenon, who were
with Father Szardinski, would not say
what their business was with him, but
all seemed familiar with Czolgosz and
his recent actions.
Father Stadenon admitted, however,
that Czolgosz was without the ban, was
wholly incorrigible and an utterly
worthless case

ONE THING AT A TIME.
When Czolgosz Took Up An
archy He Dropped Church.

Auburn, N. Y. Oct 23-Leon F.
Czolgosz, the assassin of President Nc
Kinley, and who is awaiting electrocu-
ton in the prison here during the week
commencing next Monday, fully rea-
lizing that his death is now a question
of a few days, has asked for spiritual
consolation, and received a visit from
Rev T. S. Szardinski, Polish priest OF
the Roman Catholic church
Father Szardinski, who is pastor OF
St Stanislaus church, Rochester, was in
this city, attending the forty hours
devotion of St AlphOnSuS church. ana
went to the prison and remained there
about an hour.
The interview between priest and
prisoner proved very satisfactory to
both. 1t took place in the condemned
mans cell, and the converse ton was
carried on in Polish. During the inter
view CzOlgOsZ said that he had been
baptised in the Roman Catholic faith IN
the Polish church in Detroit He had
abandoned the church early in life and
had lost all faith in it's teachings
Father Szardinski urged him to re-
nounce his belief in anarchism and re-
turn to the faith of his early years.
CzOlgOsz declared his inability to do so,
and he was informed that unless he
could the consolation of the church
would be denied him. The priest urged
the condemned man to consider the
matter carefully, and told him that if
at any time he decided to re-embrace
the faith he would return from his
home in Rochester and stay with him
until the end. Father Szardinski before
taking his departure left with Czolgosz
some Catholic literature printed in
Polish and also sor1e emblems of the
church. Czolgosz assured Father Szard-
inSld that in case he determined to ac-
cept the offices of religion he would send
for him, but he did not hold out much
hope that he would renounce the doc
trineS of anarchiSm.
A BAD CASE.
Rochester, N. Y, Oct 23.-Rev. Father
Szardinsl1, pastor of st. Stanislaus
Polish church of this city, returned
home from Auburn. where he had seen
and talked with Czolgosz- When inter
viewed by a representative of the AS
ISOLATED Press at his home Father
Szardinsd said he would not say
whether his visit had been of his own
volition upon the request of Cool
gosz- While very reticent, Father
Szardinski after much persuasion said

BUTLER TURNED OUT.
His Recent Speech Caused Him
to Lose His Job.

London, Oct 23-Sir Redverz Butler
has been relieved of command of the
first army corps. This action of the war
office is due to a speech he made October
10, after the luncheon given in his honor
by the Kings Royal rifles, dealing with
his famous dispatch to General White
at Ladysmith. He has been placed on
half pay, and General French has been
appointed to succeed him.
In the official announcement the war

Two weeks ago, in a speech at lunch
con replying to criticism on his failure
to relieve Ladysmith, General Butler
stated that he had sent message to
General Sir George White advising the
surrender os the town. This aroused
forced retirement from the army.
The tone of the press was generally
one of surprise and amazement at his
indiscretions- The people of England
had generally stuck to him throughout
and his wife's influence even reached
the court 1t had been decided that he
would be elevated to the peerage upon
the next honor list, but all went glim-

COOLEY FOR FIRST BASE.
That ia Where Frank Selee Wants
Topeka Man to PLAY

Boston, Oct. 23.-Frank Selee's ad
vice to the management of the Boston
National league is to play Cooley al
first in preference to allowing Tenney
to work the club for big money. Selee
has no earthly use for Tenney. 1t was
Selee that brought Tenney to the front
and yet the Brown college man is the
only player that Selee has scored for
unfair work off the field.
"Tenney's ambition is to manage a
club says Selee, but the players have
no use for him." Long will again cap
tain the team, which will be a slap at
Tenney'S ambition.
Carney and Lush will be retained for
the outfield. This will give Hamilton
or Cooley a chance for the outfield
and will give Boston a fast team, but
far from a serious rival for Pittsburg.

A couple of months ago Terry was
complaining of sick headaches and had
to consult a physician. who ordered him
to wear glasses, which he has been do

The effect of this talk, emanating from
reliable quarters, has caused many to
think that the Brooklyn wonder has
passed his best days, and, while they do
not think that he will be beaten in his
coming fight with Young Corbett on
Thanksgiving day, they expect the Dem
yer lad to give him a hard fight and
make him hustle.
