quence are always good for ransom,
the brigands held her as prize along
with the other woman. The rest OF
Miss Stones companions were allowed
tn nursue their way homeward as best
they could.
The first reports intimated that I'M
less a ransom calling for 100000 was
speedily paid to the chief of the ban
dts, Miss Stone would be compelled
to marry one of the band. That
was indeed awful. Sober retiec-
ton. however, disputed the au-
thenticity of such a report. What
would rowing. light-hearted though
wicked bandit do with an I'M
willing bride like Miss Stone? If
the robber was out for youth and
beauty, he could find it in the huts
along the mountain side. So the second
report was more readily believed. The
bandits wanted the ransom money on
pain of death to the captive. And
they will get it, in spite of all the in
genuity and power of governments and
states to hunt them down. Already
nearly half of it has been contributed
in this country by the friends and CO.
religionists of the captive missionary.
Although an American woman has
been deprived of her liberty, so far
nothing has been done to attach the
blame upon either the Turkish or Bull
garian governments. The surprise and
capture occurred upon Turkish terri
tory and the act was committed by
Bulgarian bandits. The sultan will
throw every obstacle in the way of
proper investigation and evade the re-
sponsibility. So will the Bulgarian
government. Meantime the life of an
American is at stake Nothing can be
done by diplomacy or red tape against
a bandits ultimatum. Thus are the
American people Inundated and held
up by Il nation of scrubs.
What effect Miss Stones adventure
Will have upon future Protestant mis-
sions in that country is mere guess.
worth as much as Miss Stone for ran
som, the treasury will soon be bank
rupt; for, elated with their last sue
cess. these Bulgarian land pirates will
be even more daring and impudent in
future demands. This phase of the
question now confronts the Protestant
missionary board.
How different all this would be
should a Catholic missionary be taken
captive in the way Miss Stone was en-
trapped. Would that priest or Sister
send out an appeal to the Catholic
world to obtain liberty through ran
som? That has not been the past his
tory of Catholic missions Instead, the
missionary priest would cheerfully suf-
fer death and yield his life to martyr
dom, because of his VOW. Church an
nails are full of such examples, and we
can recall no effort made by Catholics
to ransom Catholic missionaries as is
now being made to rescue Miss Stone
One hundred thousand dollars would
pay the expenses of a dozen Francis
cans for years among the heather.
What signifies one life to martyrdom
alongside the good twelve might do
the truth among all the ma
tons of the earth!

The funeral services over the late
Patrick Phelan were held at St Mary
cathedral on Thursday afternoon at
o'clock. A large crowd of old time
friends were present, to pay last
tribute of respect to the man, who was
honored and loved by every one who
knew him. The funeral cortege started
from the home of Stephen Hays. the
life time friend of the deceased. AS the
body was brought into the church the
choir rendered the beautiful funeral
hymn. Lead. Kindly Light; the Gre
gorian "Stabat Mater" was next sung,
after which Rt. Rev. Bishop Seaman
conducted the services over the re-
mains The choir then rendered Near
er My God to Thee" with little Clara
Fafek as soloist Rev. Father Kiely
preached the funeral sermon aud paid
beautiful and touching tribute to the
life and character of the deceased. At
ter the sermon, angels Ever Bright
and Fair" was beautifully rendered by
Miss Owen. In the death of Mr.. Phe-
Ian a noble and good man has passed
away OF his life nothing more trus
or beautiful can be said than in the
following tributes paid to him for
his kindness of heart by Ri
Rev. Bishop Seaman and Rev. Father
Kiely. Ri. Rev. Bishop said: He was
a good. kindly man, and not unlikely to
remember the church and philantrophlC
work He was clean. honorable and
frugal. The world knew this, but he
never noised about any good acts that
he was author Of.
TT would not be a departure for Mr..
Phelan to engage in philanthropiCal
work" said Father Kiely. He never
allowed it to be known, but his liber-
atty has made life pleasanter for many
an unfortunate. When 1 would en-
in want 1 would call the subject to his
attention, and he was always respon-
sive. He wanted to attract no atten-
ton and shrank from discussing his
affairs with anyone"
May his soul rest in peace, and may
his reward DE that, which is promised
to all who spend their lives doing
good to all and evil to none.

Turkey, accompanied by a Bulgarian

Brady for an unspeakable crime, was
Bishop Brondel. To his interviewer
the Catholic Bishop of Montana said:
Il am law-abiding citizen and 1
think that a breaking of the law ought
always to be punished. Violation of the
law does not correct it. That is not the
way to prevent the recurrence of the
crime. But I think, what was worse.

withou minutes preparation. think
that was much worse than the viola
ton Of the law in hanging the man.

make the law more severe for a crime

In trying to escape the responsibility
of the surprise which nearly wiped out
company c Of the Ninth infantry, the
military authorities call the attack
treacherous murder, because the bolo-
men were regarded as pacificos. Let us
analyze this feature of treachery and
compare it with others recognized as
justif1able strategy in war. Did not
Funston capture Aguinaldo by means
which outside of warfare would be set
down as treachery? If to catch the

surprise can he called treachery. then
is Admiral Dewey to be blamed for en-
tering Manila bay while Montijo was
eating his breakfast in fancied secur-
ity and not a pound of steam in the
boilers of his battleships. We are in

count of the bolomen, so long as

NEW BRITAIN WOMAN

Was Within a Few Feet of the Presi-

 New Britain. Sept. 9.-Mr and Mrs. Jerome B. Weiant were at Buffalo Fri day and Mrs Weiant was within a dozen feet of the president at the time of the attempted assassination Mrs. Weiant was in line with the rest of the patriotic men and women who wished to greet the chief executive. She had shaken the presidents hand and just behind her came the man whom the secret service men are now looking for and whom they suspect of collision with the anarchist, Czolgosz This is the man who kept hold of Pres ident McKinley's hand a longer time than seemed to be necessary for the exchange of formal greetings and whom the police say shielded the assas sin as he approached,
 Mrs. Weiant was just ahead of this man and she does not share the opin- ion of others that he was confeder- ate of the despicable assassin. She says he seemed to her to be a simple old fellow who was making the most of his opportunity to impress upon the president his loyalty to the republican party and the loyalty of his father be- fore him. In fast she heard scme of the conversation which was to this ef- feet It was this delay which gave the assassin the opportunity that he awaited.
 Mrs. Weiant was an eye witness of the scenes which followed the shooting. Mir Weiant was not in the Temple of Music at the time. He was in another part of the grounds.

RIPPING UP CHURCH STREET

C. W. Blakeslee & Sons Begin Work
 on That Street,
 Yesterday morning c. W. Blakeslee X Sons, the contractors, began the work of ripping up Church street prepara tory to laying the asphalt pavement there by the New England Improve ment company.
 A big gang of men were on the job and a heavy road roller was doing yeo- mans service. It was used to drag the plough for tearing up the crushed stone pavement which is to be replaced. There was every appearance of busi- ness, which was denial of rumors that an injunction was to be issued to prevent the laying of the asphalt.
 The pavement that is being torn up to make room for the asphalt is one of the oldest pavements, which was called permanent, in New Haven.
