ARCHBISHOP FEEHAN DEAD.
Head of the Catholic Diocese of Chica-
go Passes Away.

-
After an illness lasting several months
Archbishop Patrick A. Feehan died Sat
urday afternoon at the parochial resi-
dence in Chicago. His demise came as a
shock, but was not altogether a surprise,
owing to his feeble condition.
For nearly twenty-five years Arch
bishop Feehan administered the affairs,
spiritual and temporal, of the great Chi
cago archdiocese, the second in the Unit
ed States The Legislature of Illinois
passed an act making the Catholic arch
bishop of Chicago a corporation sole, and
the privilege has been Of great benefit to
the Catholics of the archdiocese. The
archbishop's investments were invaria-
bly, prudent, and the wealth of the organi-
cation has steadily grown. Personally
the late archbishop was poor, and he iert
very little property To his relas.ves.
In politics. secular or ecclesiastical,
Archbishop Feehan never dabbled He
was liberal, and the politico-economic be-
liefs of his flock did not concern him. He
had no ambition beyond that Of faithfully
performing his important duties and look
ing after the welfare of the churches,
schools and charitable institutions with
in his jurisdiction. He avoided contro-
versy and general public questions
though he was doubtless in sympathy
with what is called "Americanism" in
Catholic teaching and tendency.

CORN DEAL CLOSES.
The Price of July Option Falls Like
Leaden Plummet.


Leaden Plummet.
The July corn deal is over. The shorts,
Chicago dispatch says. settled with
Harris, Gates & Co. Tuesday for millions
and millicGs of bushels. Gates is believed
to have received close to so cents. The
market broke sharply when the settle
ments became known. 1t was at first be-
lieyed that Gates had lost and let the
market get away from him.
With bounds and jumps the price of the
grain dropped down from so cents to
S5A cents. When the news spread over
the board the panic grew worse and
prices continued to drop. Purchasers
of cora in the country are left high and
dry. They lose both ways. The prices
they paid are far above what they will
now be able to get.
Gates, according TO the Chicago dis
patch, has made $3,750,O00 by the best
calculation that can be stated He him
self is authority for the statement that
his holdings comprised 25,000,0O0. Sam
uel Scotch, his manager said that IS
cents was the highest figure in any of
the contracts made by the firm. With
the settling price at so cents there would
be profit of 10 cents on the $4,000
600, or $3,750,O0O.
Gates never lost confidence when the
shorts were fighting him the hardest and
when men of millions entered the pit
against him he retained his easy bearing
and offered to bet $4,000 that July corn
would go to 90 cents. Then, when no
one would take his wager, he sent the
price there just to show his power.

BIG STRIKE is OFF.
CHICAGO FREIGHT MEN ABAN-
DON THEIR FIGHT.
Handlers Accept Plan of the Medi-
ators for Settling Grievances on an
Individual Basis = Teamsters Are
Blamed for Failure.

The strike of tbs Chicago freight han
dlers came to an end at noon Wednesday.
At a mass meeting the men voted 10 q
back TO the freight yards in body, ash
for reinstatement and on receiving II
try to make such terms as they could
with the officials. The result OF the strike
was a bitter disappointment TO the men
They knew chat the end had come when
they received ar.lsntic information that
their ranks were broken and that many
strikers, acting individually, had gone
back to the freight yards and asked for
work
President Curran opened the mass
meeting and made a long soeeel, in
which he bitterly assailed Pres dent
Young of the Transfers Unien. He
took occasion also. without mentioning
any names, to say that some members OF
the freight handlers executive board had
played him false.
The whole blame for the failure of Inc
strike is laid by the freight handlers a.
the door of the officers of the Transfers
Union. President Young's order to his
men to live up to their agreement and
TO haul freight of all kinds marked the
beginning of the end.
President Curran told his men that they
had no cause to lament the forming OF
their union. Since we organized only
a short time ago. he said, I'VE have Sc
cured, through the strength that lies in
unionism, TWO advances in wages. The
third time it appears we have failed bat
through no fault of our own. In its in
fancy, as our organization is, it has al
ready given 100000 additional To the
families of the freight handlers. If YOU
vote to go back to work, go back with
the full determination to stick to your
union through good and through ill.,"
The decision of the men to so back to
work in body was largely the outcome
Of a meeting between President Curran
and the members of the State board of
arbitration held Tuesday night. Wednes-
day Chairman Job and the other mem
bers of the board saw the officials of
the union again and ted them frankly
that the men could not hope to secure
work unless they went back as the board
suggested and went back at once. The
State board had felt the P~lse of the rail-
road officials and knew that If the freight

could never go back.
Chairman job, Immediately following
the decision of the strikers to return tc
work, communicated with the officials OF
every railroad in Chicago, and asked per.
sonally that all the strikers be taken
back. The replies We're in the main ia.
yorable, the general managers saying
that they would provide for all that they
possibly could.
The State board of arbitration was
first called into the controversy, and af-
ter trying to effect a settlement it was
side-tracSed by the Chicago board of ar
bitration. This board failed to effect a
settlement, and the State organization

DOG WINS IN ST. LOUIS COURT.
Animal Who Bit in Self-Defense Saved
from Death.

Judge Sjdener of the first district po-
lice court in St. Louis believes in the old
proverb that every dog has his day. The
parents of Willie Quinn had Abraham
Simon in court. His pet dog Jupiter had
bitten Willie and they wanted the dog
killed. 1t was shown that Willie was
busily engaged in tying an oyster can
filed with pebbles to Jupiter's tail, when
the dog bit him. Judge Sidener then rem
dered the following decision: ANY dog
has a legal and undeniable right to bite
any man, woman OF child who purposely
and with malicious intent to disturb said
dogs peace and tranquility of mind, does
attach or cause to be attached to said
dogs tail tin can. A dog which bites
its prosecutor in such a case is acting
purely in self-defense."
