rwENrY.NINrH PAPER.


After my Incarceration in the peni-
tentiary It became necessary for my
wife to turn breadwinner for the six
worse than orphaned children, the old
est Of whom was in his twelfth year
(he is now private secretary to Gen.
w. b. Shattuc. NJ. c., Of Cincinnati
and clerk of the immigration Commit
tee Of the House Of Representatives.
and the youngest a babe of less than
one year. We decided, after canvass
ing the difficulties confronting her
that she should turn our suburban res
idence at Arlington into a dairy farm.
The residence stood on five acres Of
ground and was distant from the city
but three miles. Hon. De Witt c.
Jones. of Columbus, a lawyer by pro
fession and a gentleman by the design
of Providence rendered my wife the
free use Of about forty acres Of land
adjoining Arlington Thus pasture was
provided for the COWS and a brother
in-law undertook to manage the sale
of the milk, the wagons, etc, In an
incredibly short time she had gotten up
a large patronage, as our friends took
this method of manifestiug their sym
pathy and even some of my personal
enemies very generously patronized the
Arlington Dairy Milk.
Il can easily be surmised what an
immense relief this paying enterprise
was to me, locked up and prevented
from providing for such a large and
helpless family. All but the youngest
child had been to Europe twice and
they had been accustomed TO every
reasonable luxury and their slightest
desires promptly gratifed My child
ren were the idols Of my soul. / had
never laid a hand in anger upon one
Of them. And now that all Of them
are almost grown up they one and all
proudly boast that they were never
whipped by their parents
My wife, who had been born and
raised on a farm, managed the dairy
intelligently and to such advantage
that in a short while she was clearing
500 per month. We AL took heart and
the light came back to her eyes and the
roses to her cheeks The children as
sisted her and attended school regular
ly, but not the Sacred Heart Convent
School i'm which my oldest girl was a
pupil until the so.called tragedy
Promptly upon my arrest the Christian
head Of that institution sent the child
home and followed her with a polite
letter of dismissal And this, too
where she had heretofore been the pet
and favorite Of the Sister teachers.
had never been very much of rellgi
Gus man or orthodox Christian, but my
wife was permitted to exercise her own
will I'm these matters. IL is hardly nee
essary 20 state that the unchristian
act of the Sister Superior failed to i'm
prove my particular brand of reli"G'
or Christianity. 1 fully expressed these
views 20 the late Bishop of the Colum
bus diocese, enclosing the letter of the
Sister Superior for his edihcauon and
enlightenment, and by so doing there
by added another to the many reasons
the good Bishop had for regarding me
with pious repulsion, which he was
never very slow to manifest after his
own peculiar methods
