Mrs. Flecknoe, after a vain search,
complained at the Herbert street po-
lice station, and said that only a per-
son well acquainted with her premises
could have committed the robbery.
The woman has pet pugdog, which
knows every nook in the house. For
several days past Mrs. Fleeknoe had
noticed that this animal had found n
snug place to sleep Behind hat rack
in the parlor hall, and when she re-
moved the rack to dust it she found
the missing bank books and deeds.
There was no trace of the money.
Mrs. Flecknoe called the dog. When
the animal saw that she had posses
sion of the bank books and deeds il
tried to seize them. The police are
of the opinion that the dog has eaten
the money.

PURPLE FOR MULDOON.
Chancellor of the Archdiocese oi
Chicago Is Created Auxiliary
Bishop ?thc Pope.

Rev. p. ]. Muldoon, pastor of St.
Charles Borromeo's church, has been
chosen auxiliary bishop for the
Roman Catholic archdiocese of Chi-
cago.
His appointment was confirmed by
the authorities at Rome, June IL, and
although no definite day has been
set for his consecration, it is thought
the services will be held August "a
at the Holy Name cathedral, Chicago.
The news of the selection of Fa-
ther Muldoon did not come as q sur

prise to his friends in the church, as
it had been expected in ecclesias teal
circles that Rome would take such ac-
tion.
Rev. P. j. Muldoon has been prom
inently before the Catholic public for
the last ten years. Born at Column
bia, Cal, in 1868, his elementary edu-
cation was received in the schools of
that town. At the age of IA years he
was batriculated at the collegiate
school Of st. Mary's, Louisville.
Graduating from that institution, he
pursued his studies for the priest
hood at st. Mary's seminary, Balti-
more. He completed his course when
23 years old and was ordained and ad-
mitted to the priesthood
His first assignment was as assist
ant to Father Henneberry, the pastor
of St. Plus church, Chicago. There
the young clergyman began to assert
himself and make his activity felt,
first in the affairs of the parish and
then of the archdiocese.
His ability as a director was recog-
nized early and he was appointed
chancellor Of the archdiocese Of Chi
cago. During the worlds fair he at
tracted much attention as secretary
of the Catholic exhibition, which re-
ceived such favorable recognition. In
1895 he resigned the chancellorship
to become the pastor of st. Charles
Borromeo church, Twelfth and Cy-
nrcss streets,
