ing, driver for the grocery firm of p
Dewitt d Co., from whom asylum sup
plies were purchased. 1t was neces-
sary for Sister Rita 10 talk to the de
livery clerk about the groceries. She
had talked to many Of them, but they
had been only clerks TO her.
Heating IS tall and strong and good
10 look upon. He breathed the at
mosphere of freedom. Everything
about him suggested a broad, untram-
meled life 20 the cIoister-bred sister.
He fell in love with the sweet-faced
Sister Rita. and the obstacles only in
creased the strength of his passion.
Yet il was a matter Of slow growth,
that had its foundation upon a strong
and true friendship. 1t takes cour-
age for good Catholic to ask black
robed sister 10 become his wife.
Sister Rita was shocked, but Keat-
inc was a persistent wuoer. He made
her admit that she loved him, but she
declared that in doing so she was
guilty Of grave sin. She could never
marry him because Of the solemn vows
she had taken.
She was 81. and as innocent Of love
making as d child Of ten. The thought
that she would ever love man and
want to marry him had not even been
considered as a possibility. Heating
ing was 30. Yet in everything save
wears he was far older than she.
The lover and the woman won the
victory over the nun. Sister Rita
finally agreed TO marry Keating, if the
church authorities gave their consent.
About six months ago she sought Fa-
Their Lynch, her spiritual adviser, and
told him the whole truth. He con-
suited with Rev. Father James J. Hick-
ey. rector of the Holy Family church
in Auburn. and the matter was laid be
fore Bishop McQuade, of the Roehes-
ter diocese.
Bishop McQuade made careful inyes-
tipation and decided to release Sister
Rita from her vows and TO sanction
her marriage with Keating. She put
away the black garb, and for the first
time in more than % years wore a
gown Of a woman Of the world,
They were quietly married in Utica
and went to Auburn 10 live, making
home on Mechanic street. But the
Catholic people of the city resented
the apostasy of Sister Rita, and the
couple came TO Utica, where they are
now living.

The Home of the Man Who Imported

lean CaterpiIIars,

The annual warfare Of early summer
against the troublesome English spar
rows that persist in destroying Ger
tain seed planting and in feasting on
the cherries and beEries is now on
Even the friends of the sparrows prob
ably know but little of the man who
introduced them into Pennsylvania, or
of his quaint little home still standing
on Main street, Germantown.
This curious little old stone building,
whose crumbled walls face Main street
at the corner of Upsall, with the Up
sail street side protected by frame
work that is in turn rotting away with
the crumbling stone, was standing at
the time of the revolution, and has
been but little changed since. 1t was
here that the Englishman, John Bards-
ley, made his home after the civil war;
he was a painter by trade. quite sue
CesSful in his chosen line, and eager
to visit his native home at the time
that William F. Smith was councilman
Of Germantown.
This was about 30 years ago, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer, and at that
time the caterpillars were infesting
the trees Of the city-probably to an
even greater extent than the trees
were raided by the pest last summer
and fall. In despair over the destruc-
tive inroads made by the caterpilIars,
Councilman Smith used his influence
in sending John BardsIey to England
To bring over lot of English sparrows
to destroy the American pest. In
order to show his appreciation Of the
opportunity to visit his old home in
England Mr.. Bardsley brought back
with him great number of the spar
rows, and it is believed that this was
the first introduction Of the sparrow
into this country on any great scale,
and certainly the first introduction
into Pennsylvania The old house has
long been known as sparrow Jack
house" and the name of John or
Jack" Bardsley will long be assO-
ciated with the little English sparrow

JURY FAILED TO AGREE

The jury in the case Of Banker
Phil A. Rush, who was tried in
jackson recently on the charge
of embezzlement in connection
with the recent state treasury
shortage, failed to agree, and
was discharged by the presiding
judge Monday morning. The
members of the jury stood nine
for acquittal and three for con-
viction.
Since the trial of the case be-
gun public sentiment in Jackson
has undergone a decided change,
and the cOncensus of opinion
seems to be that Rush shonld not
be convicted unless Raiford and
Armistead, who aregequally cul-
pable, are punished also. The
result of the trial is really VIC
tory for the defendant, as it is
likely that all proceedings against
him will be dropped and that
more will be heard of the
case.

NOW GENERAL
PASSENGER ERAGENT.

| Mr.. Joseph P. Billups. who for
the past six or eight months has
had charge of the passenger de-
partment of the Atlanta and
West Point railroad, with the
title of acting general passenger
agent, has been regularly ap-
pointed general passenger agent
of that line. The appointment
was not surprise to Mr.. Billups'
friends in this city, who have
known for some time that the
thoroughly efficient and compe-
tent manner in which he has
managed the affairs of the de-
partment was to receive official
recognition at the hands of the
directors of the road.
Mr.. Billups, while one of the
youngest, is at the same time one
of the best known passenger
men in the south, and is highly
esteemed both for his business
acumen and for his genial dis
position and curtrous manners.
The Commercial congratulates
him on his promotion and pre-
diets that still further advance
ments are in store for him.

WE ARE PROSPERING.

Columbus is enjoying an epoch
Of prosperity which is unusual
for this season of the year. I'm
provements involving the expen-
diture of more than one hundred
thousand dollars are now in prog
ress, and large sums of money
are paid out each week to brick
masons, mechanics and day la
borers. OF course these men
have to live and the money
eventually finds its way into the
Golfers of the grocers, druggists,
dry goods dealers and other mer-
chants of the city, who are doing
a regular fall and winter business
right in the middle of the sum-
mer.
The day is fast coming when
the merchants of Coiumbls will
not have to depend entirely upon
the success of the cotton crop for
their business, for although we
are in the heart of an agricultur-
al district and cotton will always
be one of the most important fac
tors in the local mercantile world,
still our factories are increasing at
such papid rate that we will
soon be in a position where busi-
ness will be good throughout the
entire course of the year, and |
then there will be no such thing
